Error description

  • ENVIRONMENT:
    IBM Tivoli Monitoring for System p - CEC Base Agent 6.2.2.2
    
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    Starting with VIOS 2.2.1, the lspartition -all command in an IVM
    environment will no longer display the VIOS itself.  Since the
    CEC Base agent is dependent on the output of the lspartition
    command, the agent will not be able to monitor the VIOS itself.
    Another side effect is that the partitions listed might show
    incorrect data for the LPARs that are listed as monitored.
    
    This only affects the CEC Base agent running on IVM VIOS 2.2.1
    or above.  Non-IVM systems do not have this problem.
    
    RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
    
    Run the CEC Base agent on IVM VIOS 2.2.1 or above.
