Troubleshooting the sensor

This topic describes common problems that occur with the IBM® AIX® computer system sensor and presents solutions for those problems.

Sensor does not discover WPARs

Problem

The sensor is not able to discover WPAR.

Solution

To check the status of the WPAR:

Run the sudo lswpar command using the <ASM_User> credentials. If a list of WPARs is not displayed, assign to the <ASM_User> administrator credentials to run the lswpar command.
Modify the sudo specific command in the collation.properties file.

Problem: Some of the discovered WPARs do not display attribute values.
Solution: Verify if the WPARs present are in an active or defined state. For WPARs that are in a defined state, a limited number of attribute values are displayed.
