connect.pl --version problem

Tibor

Hi,

I got this problem when following your installation guide

I have these packages installed:

rpm -qa|grep -i -e perl -e XML

rrdtool-perl-1.4.8-2
libxml2-2.9.1-1

Do you know what can be wrong here?

Thank you very much...

Try to use this PERL5LIB (all one line) in etc/lpar2rrd.cfg
PERL=/opt/freeware/bin/perl
PERL5LIB=/home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/vmware-lib:/opt/freeware/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8:/opt/freeware/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/ppc-thread-multi:/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8:/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8:/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8:/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8:/opt/freeware/lib/perl/5.8.0:/opt/freeware/lib/perl/5.8.8:/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2:/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi:/opt/freeware/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/ppc-thread-multi

Well, kind of progress. The variable made no difference for 'connect.pl --version' problem, but GUI provides "configure" page, I added credentials and "Test" buttons reports a success.

load.sh reported some issues:

Fault string: Permission to perform this operation was denied.
Fault detail: NoPermissionFault
SOAP Fault:
-----------
Fault string: Permission to perform this operation was denied.
Fault detail: NoPermissionFaultdate end all   : Tue Mar  8 10:02:43 CET 2016

But obviously it managed to connect to vmware server.

And there are no graphs on web yet. Pehaps it will take some time and thay will appear

Hi
can you connect vCenter from cmd line with your credentials like that:
/opt/freeware/bin/perl /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/vmware-lib/apps/connect.pl --server --username --password
Your user should have read access to whole vCenter - all folders.

Tibor

the commands works. I would say it is OK now, only I still wait till I see the graphs from vmware...

Pavel

send us logs:

cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd # or where is your LPAR2RRD working dir
tar cvhf logs.tar logs etc tmp/*txt # do not miss "h" option in tar
gzip -9 logs.tar

Send us logs.tar.gz via https://upload.lpar2rrd.com

Tibor

logs sent. It is not urgent....
