Error description

• Environment: Monitoring Agent for Linux OS 6.22
  
  The Monitoring Agent for Linux OS collects performance

  activity.
  
  The environmente variable KLZ_SKIP_DISABLED_DISKS must be used
  to skip these disks as well as in the Linux Disk IO Attribute
  Group.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The Linux OS Agent should filter inactive disks from data
  collected for the Linux IO Ext and Linux Disk IO attribute
  groups.
  
  The Linux OS Agent collects performance information for all
  available disks even if there is no activity. Disabled disks
  should be excluded from this data.
  
  For this APAR fix to be effective, a new environment variable
  has been added. See the Install Actions section of the APAR
  conclusion for more details.
  

Problem conclusion

• Install Actions:
  
  Disabled disks are now excluded from data collected for the
  Linux IO Ext and Linux Disk IO attribute groups. This is
  determined by the KLZ_SKIP_DISABLED_DISKS attribute.
