HWNPM0292I Performance monitoring is unavailable for switch resource_name because the switch was not probed using the correct agent.
Explanation
To monitor the performance of a resource, you must first run a probe to collect asset and configuration information about that resource. Probes are data collection jobs that you schedule or start immediately. In addition, to successfully collect performance data for FC switches using SMI agents, it is necessary to have probed the switch using that exact SMI agent. If the switch was probed using a Storage Resource agent or SNMP agent, it is not possible to collect performance data using a SMI agent. If the switch is managed by multiple SMI agents, only those SMI agents that have been previously used to probe the switch can be used to collect performance data for it.
Action
If a probe is not yet defined for the switch, define and run a probe for the resource. To run a probe, go to the resource list page for switches, right-click the switch, and select Data Collection > Start Probe. After the probe completes successfully, run the performance monitor again. If the Data Collection -> Start Probe action is not available, a probe is not yet defined. Right-click the switch and select Data Collection -> Schedule to define and save the probe parameters, and then select Data collection -> Start Probe to run it.
Even if a probe has successfully completed in the past, it may be necessary to run the probe again. When new agents have been added for managing the switch, or old agents have become unreachable, running a new probe will ensure that all the data needed for successful performance monitoring was collected.
If running a new probe does not resolve the error, it may be necessary to reset the SMI agent. It may not be obvious when a SMI agent is returning incorrect or incomplete data, especially when using multiple, different types of agents to probe the switch. Stop and restart the SMI agent and run the probe again.
