IV56662: NO MPIO ATTRIBUTES DATA WHEN LSPATH RETURNS LOTS OF DATA

IBM Tivoli Monitoring: VIOS Premium Agent 6.2.2.2-TIV-ITM_VIOS_PREM-IF0006

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the Storage--MPIO Storage Information workspace, the MPIO
  Attributes view might display no data if the lspath command
  returns many rows of data.
  
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  
  Create an environment with over 1000 MPIO paths.  The one
  system where the problem occured has over 7000 MPIO paths (rows
  returned by the lspath command).  The following command:
  
  /opt/IBM/ITM/aix523/va/bin/aixDataProvider.pl MPIO_Attributes
  
  would create output that showed corrupted data.  For example,
  some rows would have more than five commas in the line.
  

Local fix

• 1) oem_setup_env
  2) cd /opt/IBM/ITM/aix523/va/bin
  3) cp -p aixDataProvider.pl aixDataProvider.pl.orig
  4) Edit the aixDataProvider.pl and change this line in the
     MPIO_Attributes routine (line 3139 on my system):
  
  foreach my $dev (`/usr/sbin/lspath -F name`) {
  
  to:
  
  foreach my $dev (`/usr/sbin/lspath -F name | /usr/bin/sort -u`)
  {
  
  5) Restart the agent.
