Issue/Introduction

After what seems to be a successful deployment of the cdm probe on an AS400 server. Deployment says successful but the probe is not showing up in IM or when I try to create an MCS profile it says probe deployment Deferred as the status.

Environment

Release : UIM 20.x or later

OS: AS400/iSeries

 

Cause

Though the cdm deployment appeared to have been successful on the AS400 machine, the cdm probe is currently not supported for AS400/iSeries servers.

Resolution

The cdm probe is not supported for AS/400, only the iSeries-specific probes are, e.g., fetchmsg, jobs, history, etc...

Please refer to the probe support matrix:

http://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/dam/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/assets/docops/uim902/platform_support_availability_current.pdf 

If the cdm probe deployment remains in a deferred state:

1- Deactivate\Activate the mon_config_service probe.

2- Clear the browser cache

3- Reload the webpage and check whether the profile has cleared.

Additional Information

Notes on monitoring of CPU/Memory for AS400/iSeries:

If you need to monitor the CPU of a single partition on IBMi you can do it using the sysstat probe.

If you need it for the entire Power machine, you need to check the ibmvm probe, e.g., LPAR CPU, pools.
