The HMC Base agent v6.2.2.3 Beta is now available as a part of the Open Beta Drivers for ITM vNext.  The major enhancement to this release is new attribute groups and attributes that monitor CPU utilization for Servers, CPU_Pools, and LPARs.  This might eliminate your need to run the CEC Base agent, which depends on collecting CPU data directly from all the LPARs.  The CEC Base agent requires LPARs be in a monitored state. This means the LPARs must be running AIX/VIOS and the agent must be able to communicate with the XMTOPAS daemon in each.... [More]
