Re: DISK UNKNOWN on AIX

We install it as part of our standard install NRPE package as it is a pre-requisite (along with a bunch of other stuff). I created a script to install our NRPE agents: #!/bin/ksh #set -x # Title: run-npre-install.sh # Created By: Keith Buckley # Purpose: Script to install the Nagios NPRE AIX agent a...

Re: DISK UNKNOWN on AIX

No, but getting NRPE working on the WPAR allows us to monitor the shared filesystems (/usr and /opt) from a WPAR. However, that is not optimal. Now, we have a similar but bigger problem. For a long time, we couldn't get net-snmp working. Today I figured out how to fix it, but now we have the DISK UN...

Re: Alternate Path Install

I could have sworn that I had posted this before, but I'll try again: I figured out how to get it to work. You don't need to install the NRPE agent on the WPAr. You just need to configure it: 1. The NRPE agent must be installed on the global LPAR 2. On the global LPAR, copy the /etc/nagios directory...

DISK UNKNOWN on AIX

Something odd. The check_disk binary is having problems with the shared filesystems on a global logical partition (LPAR). It is a virtual machine that hosts another virtual machine called a workload partition (WPAR). nagios@lpar:[/home/nagios] $ /opt/nagios/libexec/check_disk /usr DISK UNKNOWN - fre...

Alternate Path Install

I have successfully installed the NRPE agent for AIX on all my AIX 5.3/6.1 Logical Partitions (LPARs). The software gets installed in /opt/nagios. However, I want to install the agent on some of our Workload Partitions (WPARs). The /opt filesystem on the WPARs is a read-only copy of the /opt filesys...
