Hello my name is Gonzalo, Im from Argentina and first, I want to thank the developers for this great software.

I have an issue on one of my lpars, the one running the LPAR2RRD Server where I get this error:

Fri Jun 10 12:01:12 2016: Error: /var/tmp/lpar2rrd-agent-10.140.55.211-root.txt-tmp does not exist or 1 > 0 A specified file does not support the ioctl system call. /opt/lpar2rrd-agent/lpar2rrd-agent.pl:1924

If I force run with root /usr/bin/perl /opt/lpar2rrd-agent/lpar2rrd-agent.pl -d __LPAR2RRD-SERVER__ everything works perfectly but just once, if i try againg I get the same error.

So I now run it with the user lpar2rrd and first time work great but second time I get the same error, so I go back anf forth manually running /usr/bin/perl /opt/lpar2rrd-agent/lpar2rrd-agent.pl -d __LPAR2RRD-SERVER__ to get it to work but with cron my error logs fills out with:

Anybody has any suggestions?

What is your version of agent and server?
agent: rpm -qa|grep lpar2rrd
server: GUI --> menu --> next to the last item LPAR2RRD

Cheers,
Pavel

Agent: lpar2rrd-agent-4.84-3
Server: 4.85 Free

This is the only lpar with issues, I have 30+ lpars wich are ok. I upgraded the server and agents on all lpars.

Pavel

2 things:
1. check lpar2rrd server daemon log if there is not anything related to that client
logs/error.log-daemon

2. upgrade agent to 4.84-5 which should tell more about the problem
get it from here: http://www.lpar2rrd.com/agent/

1. I have a lot of error regarding the client, which is the server running lpar2rrd.
2. After upgrade I get this when I force run:

You have installed 4.80+ agent9s) before upgrade server to 4.80.
There is some incompatibility between a new agent and older server and some DB files were created wrong. (vscsi and sas statistics files)
This will remove them and they will be re-created again properly:
cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd
--> delete *san-vscsi*.mmm and \*san-sissas\*\.mmm files

# just listing them
$ find ../ -name \*san-vscsi\*\.mmm
$ find ../ -name \*san-sissas\*\.mmm

# removing them
$ find ../ -name \*san-vscsi\*\.mmm -exec rm {} \;
$ find ../ -name \*san-sissas\*\.mmm -exec rm {} \;

Thank you very much, now everything is working as it should.
