You can track adapter multipath status.

Supported operating systems:

• AIX
• VIOS
• Linux on Power
• Linux x86 servers
• IBM i (XorMon NG 1.9.0+ & LPAR2RRD IBM i OS agent 1.1.9+)

You must deploy AIX , Linux and IBM i OS agents on monitored hosts.

OS agent configuration

• AIX, VIOS: nothing is needed, all works automatically
• IBM i: nothing is needed, all works automatically
• Linux:
  Mutltipath info on Linux is provided only via cmd '/usr/sbin/multipath -ll' which can be run under root only.
  Follow these steps to make it work:
  1. enable sudo for lpar2rrd user:

     visudo
     
     lpar2rrd  ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/multipath -ll

  2. use this crontab cmd to run the agent, add "-m" option

     * * * * * /usr/bin/perl /opt/lpar2rrd-agent/lpar2rrd-agent.pl -m <XorMon NG server hostname/IP> > /var/tmp/lpar2rrd-agent.out 2>&1
