I'm a little afraid of this new agent :) It's supposed to monitor IBM licenses of SW. But apparently isn't smart enough to get what it needs out of /proc/sysinfo and you have to tell it how many IFLs you have and whether they are shared.
And if you change the number of IFLs: "Updating the number of processors on Linux390 If the total number of processors or shared processors in your environment changes, you need to update this information for all agents influenced by this change. Otherwise, the system will display wrong information. About this task To update the total number of processors or shared processors perform the following steps: Procedure Open the tlmsubcapacity.cfg configuration file. The file is located in the /etc directory. Update the shared_pool_capacity and system_active_processors parameters and save the file. The agent will read the updated file during the next hardware scan." You also have to tell it what kind of engine (z9, z10, etc). Jeesh. But I am most concerned with the overhead. Does anybody have experience with that and this agent? Marcy This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
