Error in update agent IBM i 1.0.2

Miguel

Good day
I recently installed the agent update on IBM i to version 1.0.2 and appears this error each 1 minute:

IF: C_SNDSTS - connection Established()
WR: C_SNDSTS+ - read() server close().
IF: C_SNDSTS - re-connect().

Hi,

I understand that you have upgraded the IBM i agent, right?
have you defined lpar2rrd server after upgrade as is described in the manual like this: CHGCMDDFT CMD(LPAR2RRD/RTV_SYSSTS) NEWDFT('IPADR(LPAR2RRD-SERVER.SERVER.COM)')
http://www.lpar2rrd.com/as400-upgrade.htm

Have you upgraded even lpar2rrd server to 4.90?
Is the daemon running on port 8162?

Message means that the agent cannot connect to the server.

Miguel

Yes, I've upgraded the IBM i agent after upgrade the server. About the command CHGCMDDFT CMD(LPAR2RRD/RTV_SYSSTS) NEWDFT('IPADR(LPAR2RRD-SERVER.SERVER.COM)') it gives me error. It says that:

No se permite el operador de expresión para el parámetro IPADR.

Causa . . . . . : Se ha encontrado un operador de expresión inmediatamente
después o antes de una serie de caracteres sin blancos intermedios en un
parámetro que no soporta expresiones. Las expresiones de serie de caracteres
solo se permiten en mandatos CHGVAR, mandatos IF o en un parámetro definido
con EXPR(*YES). Las expresiones aritméticas, relacionales y lógicas solo se
permiten en los mandatos CHGVAR e IF.

Miguel

Excuse me. Here is in english

operator expression for the IPADR parameter is not allowed.

Cause . . . . . : It has been found expression operator immediately
before or after a string without intermediate targets in a
parameter does not support expressions. The character string expressions
only allowed in CHGVAR mandates, mandates IF or a defined parameter
with EXPR (* YES). Arithmetic, relational and logical expressions only
allowed in CHGVAR and IF commands.

Pavel

it has been only example, change lpar2rrd server name used in example LPAR2RRD-SERVER.SERVER.COM to your one or use IP adress instead


Our documentation says:

- Configuration
Change Monitor Server Name or IP addr (IPADR) to your running LPAR2RRD server
This step must be done again as it has been cleared out. Use same name(IP) as before.
For example if hostname is LPAR2RRD-SERVER.SERVER.COM.
Network connectivity verification via ping at first:

PING RMTSYS('LPAR2RRD-SERVER.SERVER.COM')
Verifying connection to host system LPAR2RRD-SERVER.SERVER.COM at address 192.168.1.2.
Connection verification statistics: 5 of 5 successful (100 %).

CHGCMDDFT CMD(LPAR2RRD/RTV_SYSSTS) NEWDFT('IPADR(LPAR2RRD-SERVER.SERVER.COM)')

Using IP address instead of hostname example:
CHGCMDDFT CMD(LPAR2RRD/RTV_SYSSTS) NEWDFT('IPADR(''192.168.1.2'')')

Miguel

I did it and I could execute the command by ip address, however appears the same message in the log of the SND_SYSSTS Job:

IF: C_SNDSTS - connection Established()
WR: C_SNDSTS+ - read() server close().
IF: C_SNDSTS - re-connect().
IF: C_SNDSTS - connection Established()
WR: C_SNDSTS+ - read() server close().
IF: C_SNDSTS - re-connect().
IF: C_SNDSTS - connection Established()
WR: C_SNDSTS+ - read() server close().

I think this is new to this version, because I see information from today about the lpar when was installed the upgrade witout the cpu_job tabs.

Anyone have done the upgraded yest? Can see the same message in the log of SND_SYSSTS Job? Is that correct?

Pavel

Is there installed server version 4.90? (tail -1 etc/version.txt )
Is anything related on server side in logs/error.log-daemon
ls -l data//*/--AS400--

Miguel

This is error in the server:

Pavel

ok, do you have installed lpar2rrd server version 4.90 ?
If yes then delete this, it will fix it. It should have been deleted automatically during upgrade. There is a new format of data store for wrkactjob, top10 and IOtop, old data captured by beta version has to be deleted.

cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd
for as400_space in `find data -type d -name \*--AS400-- | sed 's/ /===space===/g'`
do
as400=`echo "$as400_space"| sed 's/===space===/ /g'`
if [ -d "$as400/JOB" ]; then
rm -f $as400/JOB/*
fi
done

Miguel

I ran the script and restart the job´s and i am presenting the same error.

Miguel

Pavel

Asure there is enough of space in the filesystem on lpar2rrd server.
Send us logs from server, then we will see.

Pls note a short problem description in the text field of the upload form.

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

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

Miguel

Good afternoon Pavel

The file was uploaded. I appreciate your support in this regard. Thank you

Miguel

lpar2rrd:/home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd # rm /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/data/8233-E8B*10B4BBP/*/Laboratorio\ i\> PTF--AS400--/JOB/*

rm: cannot remove ‘/home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/data/8233-E8B*10B4BBP/*/Laboratorio iPTF--AS400--/JOB/*’: No such file or directory

I am looking the directory and i am not found it. The * in the directory is the ip of my HMC, and then i ran a ls and show me that:

Laboratorio i PTF--AS400--
Laboratorio i PTF.rrd
Laboratorio i PTF.rrm
Laboratorio i PTF.rsd
Laboratorio i PTF.rsm

Miguel

lpar2rrd@lpar2rrd:~/lpar2rrd/data/8233-E8B*10B4BBP/172.15.50.21> cd Laboratorio i PTF--AS400--
-bash: cd: Laboratorio: No existe el fichero o el directorio
lpar2rrd@lpar2rrd:~/lpar2rrd/data/8233-E8B*10B4BBP/172.15.50.21>

Pavel

This must work (above missed a space):
rm /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/data/8233-E8B*10B4BBP/*/Laboratorio\ i\ PTF--AS400--/JOB/*

Miguel

Problem resolved. In the log of the Job SND_SYSSTS the last line is:

IF: C_SNDSTS - protocol 5.0 UTF8 conv
IF: C_SNDSTS - connection Established()

However, the root cause of this to that is?

Now we will perform the upgrade with the rest of the environments I apply this whole procedure too.

Pavel

There was changed data set which is stored in compare to beta version of the OS agent. Some data (WRKATCJOB,CPUTOP,IOTOP) must be deleted.
Basically this should have done upgrade script which has not done it for some unknown reason.

Miguel

Ok. I'll upgrade other lpar and you commented any eventuality. Thank you

Miguel

Pavel good day
Install the update agent on another LPAR and got the following error:

AS400-- : S0400MACHINEParm1:::*FIXED:1:990476:508236::, only first error occur ence is reported ) /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/bin/lpar2rrd-daemon.pl:3777 :

In addition in the joblog RTV_SYSSTS points:

Pavel

Hi,

can you see any as400 data in the GUI for that lpar?
Had that worked before upgrade?
ls -l data/*/*/--AS400--

Miguel

Yes, i can see the data in the GUI, and it wasnt working before update

Pavel

The it is working now, right?

Miguel

yes, but in the the joblog RTV_SYSSTS points:

Message. . . . : Elapsed time reset statistics.

Cause . . . . . : The time that has elapsed since the last reset
the starting time is too large to process. The initial time is
It has been restored to the current time and the process has continued. Time
elapsed has exceeded 100 hours, the system date or time

configuration of the disk drive has changed or internal counters

This message doesn't appear in the rest of the lpar's

Pavel

you might ignore it, it should not affect anything.
We will modify the code to do not happen that in next version.
Thanks for pointing us to that.
