I'm running into a bit of a problem in both the AIX / VMWare environments where I work. Both our Unix admins, and Windows admins move LPAR's and Guests around Willy Nilly. This makes it extremely difficult to keep track of, both from a monitoring perspective, but from an inventory perspective. My question is:
1. Can Nagios track these movements and continue to monitor?
2. If not, are there any tools out there that can do this?
Thank you.

Re: Tough Question For All Of You
You do pose a tough question! As for vmware, if you monitor guests that are moved, via vcenter server instead of the individual hosts, it should have no issues with moving systems. As for AIX, if you have jails or zones or something similar, I unfortunately have no good answer for you. Maybe someone else can chime in for that!

Passive monitoring may be your only option . . .
