Hi Greg, whatever Linux, preferably RHEL/CentOS, does not matter about platform (Power vrs x86) however I would prefer x86. As pe me such kind of application does not need to be run on expensive Power HW. The main reason for Linux are only Perl dependencies although AIX with working yum is much better than before.More over…

Do you have to change password for all application accounts every 90 days? nice one, it must generate a lot of work accross your company.We got no automatic solutiopn for that.

Hi, why do not you disable password expiration for lpar2rrd user in the HMC?

Hi, do you want to switch from HMC CLI (ssh) to HMC rest api?Then just go to the HMC properties and select HMC rest api, all will run as with CLI no data lose, you just get enhanced statsistics about adapters and configuration. Make sure that you use the latest lpar2rd version 7.30.

Hi, xormon contains log4j-api only which is not vulnerable, problem is in log4j-core which is not used by us.

Hi, do not you have full /var filesystem?anything related in /var/adm/cron/log?

official statements: https://stor2rrd.com/Log4j-CVE-2021-44228.phphttps://lpar2rrd.com/Log4j-CVE-2021-44228.php

no, we do not use log4j nor log4shell at all. 


cd /home/lpar2rrd/stor2rrdchown -R lpar2rrd * you perhaps run under root load_svcperf.sh on 27th od Oct. Make sure there is no stor2rrd jobs in root's crontab as well.

ls -l /home/lpar2rrd/stor2rrd/data/fs5030/VOLUME/0010.rrd ls -ld /home/lpar2rrd/stor2rrd/data/fs5030/VOLUME

I suppose the other storage devices work, right? It looks like firmware issue, we have already seen that for older firmwares, upgrade or log a call with HPE ...

after 12 minutes it returned nothing? what is your storage firmware? older one?What about other 6 storage devices, same issue? same firmware?

Hi, run this, how long it takes? It will be printed at the end, supply password when you are asked time /usr/bin/wbemcli -nl -t -noverify ei 'https://stor2rrd@10.244.208.138:5989/root/hpq:CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData'

Hi, there is no read/write IO for volumes available for VPLEX, just total IOPS is availableStorage do not provide them, do not use it, response read/write time are fine, data throughput read/write is also fine

what storage type is it about?

no, not needed if there nothing listening on the storage

Hi, you should see each volume under each node, with all data, it is at leas how we see that.What is your lpar2rrd server and agent versions?

Hi, basically it is a bug in the HMC, ask IBM for a solution, idle cycles are higher than capped cycles, it should not be. BTW try to switch to HMC REST API access, it might work properly

Hi, send us logs Note a short problem description in the text field of the upload form. cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd # or where is your STOR2RRD working dir tar cvhf logs.tar logs tmp/*txt gzip -9 logs.tar Send us logs.tar.gz via https://upload.stor2rrd.com

Hi, have you installed uemcli as per the docu?https://stor2rrd.com/EMC-PowerMax-VMAX-VNX-Unity-VPLEX-DataDomain-Isilon-XtremIO-CLARiiON-Celerra-monitoring.php#UNITY --> EMC Unisphere API installation

Hi, is there any pattern in missing SEAs? are they anyhow different from others? Do they missing SEA have anything comon?

Hi, send us this output via email support@stor2rrd.com su - stor2rrd (lpar2rrd on the virtual appliance) cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd ./bin/config_check.sh <storage alias>

when you check graphs on the HMC directly, do you see normal utilisation or a line like in lpar2rrd?

what is Processor Sharing properties, like this? Allow when partition is inactive. Allow when partition is active. HMC version is 8 or 9?

Hi, what is your lpar2rrd version?do you use HMC CLI (ssh) or HMC REST API?

Hi, test alerting is not implemented for external script, it is just for email targets.

Send us logs. Note a short problem description in the text field of the upload form. cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd # or where is your STOR2RRD working dir tar cvhf logs.tar logs tmp/*txt gzip -9 logs.tar Send us logs.tar.gz via https://upload.stor2rrd.com

Hi, yep, we report just Fatal severity, reporting even Critical should not be a problem, it could be done on some parameter.Just for us understanding, what kind of errors typically you want to be alerted through Critical severity?

cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd umask 022 echo "export DS8K_CKD_SKIP=1" >> etc/.magic

Hi, definitelly no way for 40k volumes, it is imposible to monitor in the range we do (like each volume data/IOPS/latency) via DSCli in 5 minutes time range, it take 50 minute as you tested. No further suggestions, as IBM hows to cope with that ...Here you can see perf cmds we use for DSCli:…
