What issues are there with the topology maps?  What steps do we need to go through to fix them and how can we query them repeatedly and have consistent results?
Thank you

How does topology maps work for IBM VIO Servers / Client LPARS. In my case it only displays the Host and does not display the end to end storage connectivity.

What steps can I follow to troubleshoot this issue in detail. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Did you discover the servers both via the Physical Host SP and the IBM LPAR SP?  You need both to collect all the required information.

Yes the hosts are discoverable via the Physical Host SP and IBM LPAR SP, however I noticed that the Disk Information is not being populated in the reports, the fields return a blank value.

Hello Gnan,

I have uploaded the Collector Diagnostics and also the logs for IBM LPAR and Generic RSC to the FTP Link.


Thanks a lot for your assistance in this regard.

Thanks for leaving this open for questions.

I am trying to get topology working on a Linux host.  When I run "inq -snia_test", I get the following error:

!!! SNIA INITIALIZATION FAILED - THIS CONFIGURATION MAY BE UNSUPPORTED !!!

This is running on an RHEL 6.7 system.  I have verified that libHBAAPI.so.2 is in /usr/lib64.

Am I missing a configuration step?  This seems to be the only thing I'm missing to get topology working for my hosts.

Thanks.
