Adding Servers for the IBM VIO Data Collector Policy
IBM VIO Data Collection requires collection from servers in the following order:
1. VIO Servers (IBM Virtual I/O Servers)
2. LPAR Clients (IBM Logical Partitioning Clients) Managed by VIO Servers
3. HMC (IBM Hardware Management Console)
As an Administrator, you may not have a complete list of the server combinations in your enterprise. Therefore, HDS recommends that you enable HBA and Multipath Probes for the servers, monitor error messages, and then disable probes, as needed.
