AIX LPAR not showing up after upgrade to 5.07

Hello:

I've upgraded today LPAR2RRD from 5.05 to 5.07 and during the upgrade everything went just fine. Next step was:
cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd
$ ./load.sh | tee logs/load.out-initial

and it completed without errors.

However, when I refresh my browser [CTRL+F5], all IBM servers and the associated LPARs are nowhere to be found and only the VMWare environment show up.

Next step was to update some clients with the new agent: it went fine and the communication test to the server passes. After 20 minutes, I run from the server (under lpar2rrd user): ./load.sh, and this the output (still no LPARs show up on the GUI):

LPAR2RRD daemon: starting at port:8162

Please advise on what might have happen

  • I've uploaded the logs.
  • Your HMC_LIST is empty in ./etc/lpar2rrd.cfg
    Define list of your HMC there.

    Then check connectivity by:
    ./bin/sample_rate.sh

  • Thanks, but before I was able to see the LPARs as 'Unmanaged', and the O/S client was providing all the necessary data.
    I will add that portion, but it seems redundant since I'm using the LPAR2RRD client loaded locally on each client.
  • OS agents data running on LPARs under HMC you find in LPAR details page.
    Same for VMware VM running OS agents.

    Unmanaged is used only for OS agents which are not managed by HMC/vCenter
  • Sorry for the delay! All good.
    Thank you very much for your help on this matter.
