ODBC error after installing remote poller

Question & Answer


Question

After installing remote poller, remote poller service fails to start with ODBC drivers error.

Cause

After installing remote poller, try to start the lsfpoller service by the following command:
# service lsfpollerd start

The following errors are being reported:
ERROR:ODBC reconnection Failed: S1000 [unixODBC] [MySQL] [ODBC 3.51 Driver]Unknow MySQL server host '<hostname>'

This is caused by missing proper configuration in /etc/odbc.ini and /etc/odbcinst.ini on the remote poller host.

Answer

Please refer to the following IBM technote to set them up properly:
Getting "ODBC: Connection Failed" error when starting lsfpollerd and licpollerd
