Error description

  • Taddm checks if the output of 'prtdiag' command contains
    'VMware' string or not. If it contains 'VMware' then virtual
    flag sets true otherwise it remains false. Since in customer's
    log as well we can see that this command output doesn't contain
    'VMware' that is why in this case as well the virtual flag is
    false and it gets discovered as a physical server.

    -So I am adding code change to execute
    'virtinfo' command to check virtualization.
    

Local fix

  • NA
    

Problem summary

  • Few solaris servers were getting discovered as physical servers
    even if those were virtual  because the output string of
     prtdiag  command doesn t contain  VMware
    string. So in addition to  prtdiag , one more command
     virtinfo  executed to decide if solaris server is
    virtual or physical by setting virtual flag to true or false.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix for APAR is contained in the following maintenance
    packages:
    | Fix Pack | 7.3.0-TIV-ITADDM-FP0008
