After you add pSeries servers (whether managed by an HMC) to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, you can add the individual LPARs from those systems. While UIM collects workload data from all LPARs on a pSeries server that have the UIM agent installed (whether they have been added to UIM), adding LPARs can help you keep track of specific LPARs for workload and service monitoring.
After installing the agent on your LPAR, add it to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor for monitoring with the following steps:
- In the My Infrastructure tab, click the name of the pSeries server that contains the LPAR that you want to monitor. A new window containing information about the system appears.
- Click the Info tab, and then click Logical Partitions. A list of LPARs appears in the sub-panel.
- Click Add to Uptime beside the LPAR that you want to add. The Add System window appears.
- If necessary, you can change any of the following options:
- Display name in UIM
- Description
- Group
- Service Group
- Click Save to add the LPAR to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor.
It may take up to 15 minutes after adding the LPAR for the Monitoring Station to retrieve enough samples to provide historical graphing data.
