IBM VIO Server

Description

Provides hardware status information (processors, memory modules, network interfaces, HBAs, physical disks) on IBM VIO systems.

Connector ID: IBMVIOS

This connector supersedes:

Target

Typical platform: IBM POWER

Operating system: IBM AIX

Prerequisites

Leverages: IBM AIX system commands through the IOS interface (lsdev, entstat, etc.)

Technology and protocols: System Commands

Examples

CLI

hws HOSTNAME -t rs6000 -f IBMVIOS --ssh -u USER

hws-config.yaml

hosts:
- host:
    hostname: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
    type: rs6000
  selectedConnectors: [ IBMVIOS ] # Optional, to load only this connector
  ssh:
    username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
    password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using hws-encrypt

Connector Activation Criteria

The IBM VIO Server connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

Operating System is IBM AIX
The command below succeeds on the monitored host
- Command: ioscli uname -a
- Output contains: AIX (regex)
