VMware VM Client Agent not showing data

The_Moves

I have a single instance of LPAR2RRD for both AIX and Linux, at some time in future I may split it out. For some reason, I am unable to see the Vmware VM Client Agent data for VM. Most of my AIX LPARs have the Client Agent running and data is showing up fine.

Is there a setting i'm missing here?
What should I expect to see for the VMWare VM when the client data gets loaded? It is obvious like the AIX Client data where 6 new tabs appear?

I just noticed this error:

I guess the important errors are the last two entries which correspond to when I enabled the Client Agent.

right the format is wrong, bad parsing LAN info from ifconfig, this makes a problem: "addr:"

Basically we do not expect OS agents on VMware clients. This is not really tested. VMware provides enough information, we do not need the agent for it.

But it should generally work, OS agents data from VMware Linuxes should be visible under menu --> Servers --> Linux

Pls provide from that host:
ifconfig -a
