Monitoring LPARs with dedicated CPU?

tpluck

Using the cpu monitoring with the agent installed. CPU alerts work fine for LPARs using shared processors.
I have LPARs with dedicated processors and they always show as "maxed" 100%.
Is there a special way to configure alerts so it will report when CPU usage hits 90%?
Thanks.

What version of the product do you use?
There is support or monitoring of CPU dedicated lpars for quite a while, you should see real utilization instead of 100%.

BTW there was a bug in alerting of CPU dedicated partitions fixed just recetly, use this hotfix:

http://www.lpar2rrd.com/download/alrt.pl.gz
Gunzip it and copy to /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/bin (755, lpar2rrd owner)

If your web browser gunzips it automatically then just rename it: mv alrt.pl.gz alrt.pl
