This connector is superseded by:

• IBMVIOS^[2]

aix^[3] hardware^[4] ibm^[5]

Target

Typical platform: IBM POWER

Operating system: IBM AIX

Prerequisites

Leverages: IBM AIX system commands (lsdev, lsattr, fcstat, etc.)

Technology and protocols: Command Lines

Examples

metricshub HOSTNAME -t aix -c +IBMAIXHBA --ssh -u USER

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: aix
        connectors: [ +IBMAIXHBA ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          ssh:
            username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
            password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using metricshub-encrypt
