VIO servers (IBM Virtual I/O Servers)
To configure collection for IBM VIO Servers:
On the VIO Servers, create a normal AIX user instead of a padmin user.
Access the Host Inventory window.
In the Host Discovery and Collection window, either use Discover Hosts to collect the initial data for the VIO Servers or search for the VIO Servers.
Configure capacity probes for each of the VIO Servers according to the following guidelines:
Capacity: enable.
HBA Probe: enable, since the VIO Servers are connected directly to the SAN.
Volume Manager: enable.
Multipathing:
If the VIO Servers have any third-party multipathing software such as EMC PowerPath or Hitachi HDLM Multipathing, the Multipath Probe should be enabled.
If the VIO Servers are using native AIX multipathing, the Multipath Probe should be disabled.
