packet graphs do no contain data for latest 5.0 update

swolfe

We have upgraded our server and agents to the latest 5.0 releases but the graphs for packets do not contain data. 

Pavel

your right, it worked but it is not longer working in 5.00.
we will look at that and let you know.

Thanks Pavel

Gunzip it and copy to /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/bin (755, lpar2rrd owner)
-rwxr-xr-x    1 lpar2rrd staff        216624 May 20 09:56 bin/lpar2rrd-daemon.pl
If your web browser gunzips it automatically then just rename it: mv lpar2rrd-daemon.pl.gz lpar2rrd-daemon.pl

kill running lpar2rrd-daemon.pl
su - lpar2rrd
cd /homne/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd
./load.sh daemon

You should see data in packet graphs after 30 minutes

Hi Pavel, that did not appear to work. i've left it running for a day

Actually, it is working on the 4.96 clients but not the 5.0 clients. 

Pavel

it should not be, I have just test it with both version and it works, there is only minimal change betweeen those versions.
Can you assure that LPARs with 5.00 agent really do not have packet graphs?

swolfe

Actually Pavel doing research, all clients that were at one point 4.95 or below are not reporting packets after being upgraded to either 4.96 or 5.0. Any client that had a fresh install of 4.96 or 5.0 does report packets correctly

Hi Pavel, any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Pavel

I simply does not belive that
we have checked that in a customer environment with hundreds lpars where OS agents are upgraded since v1 and all lpars have packets.
Upgrade cannot have influence on that.

Could it be that difference is Operating system (linux vrs AIX, AIX 6.1 vrs 7.x ...)
Can you have a look. This is something I would believe

Pavel, I apologize. The previous admin apparently decided he wanted to put the a lpar2rrd-agent.pl script in /opt/lpar2rrd-agent/bin rather than the default location of /opt/lpar2rrd-agent/ so the crontab entries were still calling the old script and not the new updated one for 5.0. I've since fixed the crontab entries and the data is coming through. 

Pavel

ok, that explains that, agent upgrade was done but the old agent was still running.
