Connector for IBM AIX - HBA

Should you install this patch?

Install this patch if you have tape drives attached to your HBA or are using multipathing.

What does it fix?

The connector will now run two separate tests, one to detect tape drives and another to detect active hard drive paths, to determine if a port is active.

How to install the patch?

  1. Copy the following file to the $PATROL_HOME/lib/MS_HW_hdf directory on the server where the PATROL Agent runs:
    • MS_HW_IBMAIXHBA.hdf
  2. Re-initialize Hardware Sentry for the patch to take effect.
  3. Nothing needs to be installed on Console systems.
