BPCSS0060E Performance monitoring is unavailable for resource resource_name because the ZiMon agent is not available.

Explanation

The problem might occur if the data collection service cannot connect to port 9084 on the node where the collector component of the IBM Spectrum Scale performance monitoring tool is running.

For the product to collect performance statistics and other necessary information to monitor a resource, an agent that manages the resource must be defined. An agent can be an SMI-S provider, ZiMon agent for IBM Spectrum Scale, or a native API for a resource.

Action

Before you can collect performance data for IBM Spectrum Scale, the server that hosts the data collector must be able to connect to port 9084 on the node where the collector component of the IBM Spectrum Scale performance monitoring tool is running.

To ensure that the server that hosts the data collector can connect to the collector node, complete the following steps:
  1. Determine the node that is configured as the collector node by viewing the /opt/IBM/zimon/ZIMonSensors.cfg file on one of the sensor nodes. The collector node is set in the host property of the collectors section in this file. For example, collectors = { host = "node3" port = "4739"}
  2. Ensure that the host property is set to one of the following options:
    • An IP address that can be reached by the server that hosts the data collector
    • A hostname that can be resolved to a reachable IP address by the server that hosts the data collector
