up.time can collect workload information from IBM pSeries servers that have logical partitions (LPARs). For data collection to occur, you need to install an up.time Agent on the Virtual I/O partition (VIO) and each LPAR whose workload you want to profile.
There are two scenarios for installing agents on IBM pSeries servers with LPARs:
In both cases, you will need to install the agent on each LPAR; installing the up.time Agent on the VIO partition depends on whether you use an HMC.

tar -xvf <agentname>
<agentname>
is the name of the archive that contains the agent that you are installing (e.g., uptmagnt-AIX-5.1.tar
).Run the following command to install the agent:./INSTALL.sh

Install up.time Agents on each partition whose workload you want to monitor.
Refer to Installing the up.time Agent on an LPAR Running Linux or Installing the up.time Agent on an LPAR Running AIX below, depending on which operating system is running on the partition.
root
.tar -xvf <agentName>
<agentName>
is the name of the archive that contains the agent that you are installing (e.g., uptmagnt-AIX-5.1.tar
).Run the following command to install the agent:./INSTALL.sh -vio
If Linux is running on the LPAR, do the following to install the up.time Agent:
root
..rpm
file containing the up.time Agent to the LPAR.rpm -i <agentName>.rpm
<agentName>
is the name of the .rpm
file for the agent that you are installing (e.g., uptimeagent-6.0.0-linux-x86_64.rpm
).If AIX is running on the LPAR, do the following to install the up.time Agent:
root
.tar -xvf <agentName>
<agentName>
is the name of the archive that contains the agent that you are installing (e.g., uptmagnt-AIX-5.1.tar
).Run the following command to install the up.time Agent:./INSTALL.sh
if the LPAR is manged by HMC
If you are using an HMC, do not install the Agent as a Virtual I/O Server by using the |
