HWNPM0285I Performance monitoring is unavailable for resource resource name because the associated agent is unable to fully monitor the resource.
Explanation
A device agent (an SMI-S provider, SMI agent, or a proprietary service API, etc.) must exist for IBM Spectrum Control to be able to retrieve the performance statistics and other necessary information to monitor the device. The currently defined agent(s) for the device will not allow IBM Spectrum Control to perform performance monitoring on the device. This can happen primarily for FC switches in mixed fabrics if there is a mismatch between the SMI agent and device, in other words if one switch vendor's SMI agent was able to discover a different vendor's switch. The mismatching agent will not be able to fully manage the other vendor's switches, and in particular, will not be able to retrieve performance statistics for those switches.
Action
Please define a "matching" agent for the particular vendor's device, for example for Brocade switches ensure that there is a Brocade SMI agent defined to manage the switch, for McData switches a McData SMI agent, and so forth. Switches with embedded SMI agents can only be managed using that embedded agent.
