HMC occuring twice in HMC totals

cja

We've recently changed a HMC in our LPAR2RRD-config.
To avoid DNS-problems we changed the IP/host-value from an DNS-Entry (same as the current Alias) into an IP-Adresse.
There might be a bug:
the HMC appeared a second time with the IP-adress though we did not change the alias at any time.
Even after changing the host/ip.entry back to the DNS-name it's still here.
Any chance to remove it? Rebuilding GUI did not work.

Hi,

yes, HMC is always saved under its alias name, in yoru case once as IP and once as a hostname.

You can remove it by:

cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd

rm -r data/*/<HMC name alias>

List it before like

ls -ld data/*/<HMC name alias>

After that:

./load.sh html

Ctrl-F5 in the UI

Well, I needed to remove the directory which name was the IP-adress, this worked.
I've never uswd the ip-adress as alias.

There is another directory "--HMC--{alias}", is this the CLI-data?
I've checked both REST-API and CLI/SSH - which is better?
From my point of view CLI delivers more information, is that true?

Thanks

Pavel

Hi,

you can remove even

rm -- --HMC....

REST API provides more data,

- adapter (lan/san/sriov) performance data

- more configuration data

Thankyou
