lpar2rrd-agent.pl 7.90 starts wlmstat on an lpar

apw

A collegae noticed that wlmstat is started on an lpar. This results in an exitcode <> 0.

We see a test for this in the code but we think the test is wrong.

on lines 2625 and 3918 it says:

if ( $os =~ /AIX/ && ( $wpar_id eq '' || !$wpar_id > 0 || !isdigit($wpar_id) ) ) {

We think it should be converted to:

if ( $os =~ /AIX/ && ( $wpar_id eq '' || $wpar_id > 0 || !isdigit($wpar_id) ) ) {

Notice the exclamation mark on the second $wpar_id I am not a perl programmer so I cannot realy say if this is the rigth solution.

I hope this is the right place to post this. I couldn't find a bug tracker

is there any problem with WLM data?

Do you see WLM graphs under lpar2rrd UI?

This is an lpar without a running wlm. We don's see output wlm output in the gui.

This is what I see when I start wlmstat:

[root]:/root # wlmstat

1495-104 WLM must be started.

[root]:/root # echo $?

We run lpar2rrd-agent from cron and we see these errors in /var/adm/cron/log

and this causes the agent to exit with uncorrrectly? No ...

what happens when you make the change you suggested, any difference in cronlog?
