1.0 General description
=======================
This fix resolves the APARs and defects listed in the "Problems Fixed"
section below. This fix also includes the superseded fixes listed in
section 2.4.


2.0 Problems fixed
==================
The following problems are addressed by this fix.

2.1 APARs
---------
APAR: IV65679
Abstract: Add of fields to the UNIXDISK attribute group for zfs properties
and disabled the use of libzfs
Additional Information: Add of fields to the UNIXDISK attribute group for the
following zfs properties:
quota
reservation
refquota - available by zpool version 9
refreservation - available by zpool version 9
usedbydataset - available by zpool version 13
usedbychildren - available by zpool version 13
usedbysnapshots - available by zpool version 13
usedbyrefreservation - available by zpool version 13
Add of two other fields:
1) zfs_space_used that is the space occupied by the dataset;
It contains also the used space of other dataset occupying its space.
2) zfs_space_used_percent that is the percentage of
zfs_space_used on the size of the disk.
The size on disk is computed with the following algorithm:
1) size = zfs pool size
2) if the refquota is defined and greater than 0, then size = refquota
3) if the quota is defined and greater than 0 and it is less
than size (or size=0), then size = quota
the quota is checked also for all the father dataset up to the root
4) if (size == 0 || storageSize < size) size = storageSize (where
storageSize is the sum of USED and AVAILABLE of the root of the given dataset)

Add also the environment variable KUX_USELIBZFS that controls the use
of the libzfs.so to collect the zfs metrics. Its default value is 0,
setting it to 1 the agent uses the api of libzfs.so to collect the
zfs metrics; this can be useful when the command zfs if not available.

Note: The zpool version is visible with the command: zpool upgrade -v

APAR: IV93570
Abstract: UNIX OS Agent does not display aggregate CPU data.
Additional Information: UNIX OS Agent does not display aggreate CPU data on a system
where there is only one CPU on the system for the SMP CPU attribute group.

In order for this APAR to be properly implemented in your environment a new environment
variable has been added, KUX_AGGREGATE_CPU. When set to TRUE, the aggregate CPU
information will be displayed on a single CPU system. The default is FALSE, meaning no
aggretate line will be displayed. The following is an example of setting the variable
in the $CANDLEHOME/config/ux.ini file:
KUX_AGGREGATE_CPU=TRUE

APAR: IV52450
Abstract: UNIX OS Agent does not manage the value "Shutting Down" for the Solaris_Zones.Status
attribute
Additional Information: UNIX OS Agent does not manage the value "Shutting Down" for the
Solaris_Zones.Status attribute.

Abstract: IV54290
Abstract: UNIX OS Agent on Solaris does not show the not-running Solaris Zones
Additional Information: UNIX OS Agent on Solaris does not show the not-running
Solaris Zones. Altough not active, these zones can be present in the system
with the following statuses: "Configured", "Incomplete", "Installed".

APAR: IV68530
Abstract: WRONG VALUES IN SPACE USED AND SPACE AVAILABLE FOR ZFS DATASETS
Additional Information: list of fixed defects:
- Mountpoints with a size greater than 32 character does not show any
values related to ZFS
- A dataset can show a value of used and size greater than the pool
size as the zfs commands permit this
- If the zpool version is < 9 the property refquota is not available and
the command "zfs list" fails so that all the zfs attributes show NOT_AVAILABLE
- If there are 2 ore more mountpoints with the same name (one mounted and
the others no), the agent show data of the last mountpoint with the same
name in the output of the "zfs list command"


APAR: IV68852
Abstract: THE UNIX OS AGENT DOES NOT FIND THE CORRECT VALUES FOR A ZFS DATASET
Additional Information: Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS does not find the correct
values for a ZFS dataset when more datasets are mounted on the same mount
point. This can occur when the dataset is mapped on a local zone and both
the dataset in the system and the dataset in local zone are mounted with
the same name. In this case all the datasets with the same mount point
shows the value of the dataset corresponding to the first occurrence of
the mount point in the output of the command "zfs list".


2.2 Defects
-----------
None.

2.3 Enhancements
----------------
None.

2.4 Superseded fixes
--------------------
6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003 - skipped
6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0002
6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0001

2.5 APARS and defects included from superseded fixes
----------------------------------------------------
6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0002
---------------------------
APAR: IV60533
Abstract: Defunct processes generated by the Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS
Additional Information: While collecting data for the UNIX Machine Information attribute group a temporary
subprocess is spawned but not properly cleaned up, this resulting in a defunct process left on the system
whose parent process ID is the kuxagent process ID.

APAR: IV48133
Abstract: Unix OS Agent is unable to monitor the requested file path in the Unix File Information attribute
group
Additional Information: The Unix OS agent sometimes misses detecting the correct value of the Path (Unicode)
attribute as defined in the situation predicate, so it's unable to monitor the requested full path.

6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0001
---------------------------
APAR: IV56915
Abstract: REMOVE UNNEEDED DIRECTORIES FROM RELATIVE PATH
Additional Information: Remove directories from relative path for the UNIX OS Agent which are mot needed

APAR: IV53161
Abstract: The UNIX OS agent stops reporting Disk attributes on Solaris
Additional Information: After the UNIX OS agent has been running for some time, most of the attributes
in the Disk group may evaluate to Not Collected. When this happens all of the disks are affected and
only a recycle of the agent can restore normal functionality. This issue is due to a lack of recovery
logic when one of the system calls that allow inter-process communications between kuxagent and
mount_stat daemons gets interrupted by a signal. When this occurs kuxagent assumes mount_stat is no
longer reachable and stops collecting disk metrics.

APAR: IV52558
Abstract: Make sure the UNIX OS agent kills its children during the shutdown phase
Additional Information: During the shutdown phase, the UNIX OS agent sends termination signals to its
children processes to stop them. The process IDs (PIDs) of the child processes stat_daemon, mount_stat
(and on AIX aixdp_daemon) are saved in memory when they are spawned from the parent kuxagent process
during the startup phase. In a rare scenario, if a child process has died and the system has reused the
same PID for another process, a signal 15 or 9 may be sent to what it believes is a child process of
kuxagent during shutdown. For reliability, additional checks should be performed before sending out any
termination signals, and for serviceability the PID values that are being killed need to be printed to
the agent log file.

APAR: IV46733
Abstract: Unix OS Agent incorrectly calculates the used space on zfs on Solaris 10
Additional Information: Unix OS Agent incorrectly calculates the used space on zfs on Solaris 10 for the
valued quota variable.

APAR: IV47168
Abstract: Unix OS Agent on AIX fills up the <HOSTNAME>_UX_<TIMESTAMP>.LOG file
Additional Information: Unix OS Agent on AIX fills up the <HOSTNAME>_UX_<TIMESTAMP>.LOG file due
to an expected error message of the entstat command.

APAR: IV54057
Abstract: UNIX OS Agent on Solaris may crash while monitoring processes
Additional Information: In a highly dynamic environment with hundreds of running processes frequently
going down and up, the UNIX OS agent may fail to read one of the files in the /proc file system
reporting metrics for the specified process ID (PID), because that PID no longer exists. This
condition is not correctly handled and may lead to a crash because of memory left uninitialized.

APAR: IV53503
Abstract: UNIX OS Agent may send false alerts on missing processes
Additional Information: Due to an incorrect variable initialization, the UNIX OS agent may incorrectly
assign the collected metrics for running processes. When this occurs the situation evaluation code
receives garbage in the processes data rows and this can make the situation fire if it is based on
a MISSING clause condition. Symptom of this issue is the following log entry, available also at
ERROR default RAS1 setting:
(Fri Nov 29 09:35:15 2013.3659-16:get_ps_table.cpp,650,"get_ps_table") unknown process report type xyz, default to all process data type
(Fri Nov 29 09:35:15 2013.365A-16:get_ps_table.cpp,658,"get_ps_table") Exit: 0x0

5.0 Installation instructions
=============================
This fix can only be installed over an existing installation. Use
the following steps to install this fix.

5.1 Before installing the fix
-----------------------------
- The prerequisites listed under section 3.1 entitled 'Prerequisites
for this fix' must be installed before this fix can be installed.

- For the purpose of this README, the symbol <CANDLEHOME> is the
IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. The default value
for CANDLEHOME is '/opt/IBM/ITM' on UNIX systems and 'C:\IBM\ITM'
on Windows systems.

Before installing this fix on UNIX systems, set the environment
variable CANDLEHOME to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation
directory.

For example:
> CANDLEHOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
> export CANDLEHOME

- Since there is no uninstall utility for this fix, we suggest you
perform a backup of your environment before installing this fix.

- It is recommended to verify the "cinfo" commands are operating
correctly on the system prior to installing the patch. See
section "7.0 Known problems and workarounds" for the workaround
for the problem titled "Remote deploy of the patch fails"

5.2 Local agent update
----------------------
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
(e.g. 6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0004.tar) to a temporary directory
on the system that contains the agent code to be updated.
For the purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP> represents
the fully qualified path to this directory.

2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems
or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a
directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported
platforms.

3. Use the itmpatch command to install the fix for that agent platform.
For more information on the itmpatch command, see section 6.2

For example:
On a UNIX system, if the fix was expanded to
<TEMP>/6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0004, the install command would be:

> itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME>
-i <TEMP>/6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0004/kux_xxxxxx_tema_if0004.tar

where:
- xxxxxx corresponds to the value in the first column returned
by the ./cinfo -i command.

In the following example, the file would be kux_aix523_tema_if0004.tar
> ./cinfo -i
ux Monitoring Agent for Unix OS
aix523 Version: 06.23.05.00


5.3 Remote agent update
------------------------
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
(e.g. 6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0004.tar or .zip) to a temporary directory
on the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server system. For the
purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP> represents the fully
qualified path to this directory. Note: On Windows, this includes
the drive letter.

2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or
an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a
directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported
platforms.

3. To add the agent fix bundles into the remote deploy depot, use
the tacmd addBundles command found in $CANDLEHOME/bin on UNIX
systems or in %CANDLE_HOME%\bin on Windows systems. For more
information on the tacmd addBundles command, see the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring Command Reference Guide.

For example:
On UNIX systems,
if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>/6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0004
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>/6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0004

On a Windows system,
if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>\6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0004
> %CANDLEHOME%\bin\tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>\6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0004

where:
-n indicates that prerequisite bundles are not automatically
added. The -n parameter must be used because the fix
directory does not contain any prerequisites that the fix
might require. Please see Section 3.1 for the prerequisites
for this fix.
-i is the directory that contains the deployment bundles to be
added to the depot.

4. To log in to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring server, and deploy
the fix to the appropriate nodes where the agent is running, use
the following "tacmd" commands. For more information on the tacmd
login and updateAgent commands, see the IBM Tivoli Command Reference Guide.

For example:
On UNIX systems:
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>

> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems

The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the
tacmd updateAgent command.

> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd updateAgent -t ux
-n <Managed System Name>
-v 062305004

On a Windows system:
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>

> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems

The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the
tacmd updateAgent command.

> %CANDLEHOME%\bin\tacmd updateAgent -t ux
-n <Managed System Name>
-v 062305004

Note:
- The component (-t) for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is
specified as two characters ([xx]), not three characters ([kxx]).
- The node (-n) for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is the managed
system name of the operating system (OS) agent to be updated.
The target node for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is always
an OS agent.

5.4 Agent support update
------------------------
This fix (6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0004) includes changes to the agent
support files which need to be installed. If you have already
installed these updates, there are no additional installation
steps. Otherwise, use the following steps to update the Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server,
and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop.

1. Transfer the appropriate archive file (6.2.3.5-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0004.tar
or .zip) to the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal Servers,
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Servers, and Tivoli Enterprise Portal
Desktops.

2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems
or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a
directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported
platforms.

3. Expand the archive file (kux_tems_teps_tepd_if0004.tar or .zip)
that contains the updates for Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server,
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and Tivoli Enterprise Portal
Desktop using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or an extract
utility on Windows systems. This step creates a directory
structure that includes a subdirectory called CD-ROM, with the
necessary updates.

4. Start the Application Support Installer GUI to install the fix.
The GUI can be started by using one of the following commands
from within the CD-ROM directory where setup.jar is located.

On UNIX systems:
> ./itmasi.sh [-h <CANDLEHOME>] [-j <JAVAHOME>]

On Windows systems:
> itmasi [-h <CANDLEHOME>] [-j <JAVAHOME>]

where <JAVAHOME> is the fully-qualified path (do not include
bin directory in JAVAHOME path) to the directory where Java(R)
is installed. The location of Java on your system might vary.

When prompted by the Application Support Installer for the
installable media directory, select the CD-ROM directory, not the
component directory. The installer can install updates for
multiple components at the same time.


5. The next panel presented by the Application Support Installer asks
for the selection of which Tivoli Monitoring components you want
to add application support to. For this fix, check or clear the
check boxes as follows:

checked - Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS)
checked - Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (TEPS)

Continue through the remaining GUI panels selecting the product
06.23.05.04 support to complete the installation.

6. If the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop or Tivoli Enterprise Portal
Browser was running when the update was installed, it must be
restarted.


6.0 Additional installation information
=======================================
For additional troubleshooting installation information, see the
itmpatch.log in the patchlogs directory in <CANDLEHOME>.

6.1 Installation instructions for agent baroc file
--------------------------------------------------
There are no updates to the baroc files included in this fix or
any of the superseded fixes. No additional installation steps are
required.

6.2 Additional information on using itmpatch command
-----------------------------------------------------
The "itmpatch" command has the following syntax:

Usage: itmpatch -h <installation home> [OPTIONS]

itmpatch -h <installation home>
-t { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> }

itmpatch -h <installation home>
-i { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> }

where:
-h Specifies the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory
-i Specifies the path to the directory or patch file to be installed
-t Generates a report of the actions to be taken by the patch


For example, on UNIX systems:
<CANDLEHOME> points to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory
<TEMP> points to the temporary directory where the fix is located.

- To preview the fix installation, use the "-t" option:
> <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -t <TEMP>

- To install the fix, use the "-i" option:
> <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -i <TEMP>

where:
<CANDLEHOME> is the fully qualified IBM Tivoli Monitoring
installation directory. On Windows, this must include the drive
letter.
<TEMP> represents the fully qualified directory specification, where
the fix is located. On Windows, this must include the drive letter.

6.3 Verifying the update
-------------------------
1. To verify the agent was updated correctly, use the tacmd command
to view the agent's current version after the agent is restarted.
You are required to login to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server prior to viewing the agent version.

For example:
On UNIX systems, where $CANDLEHOME is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
installation directory. The default location is '/opt/IBM/ITM'.

> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems -t ux

On a Windows system, where %CANDLE_HOME% is the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring installation directory. The default location
is 'C:\ibm\itm'.

> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>

> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems -t ux

When the agent update is successful, the agent version should now be:
06.23.05.04

Note:
- The component (-t) for the tacmd listSystems command is specified
as two characters UX, not three characters KUX.


On UNIX or Linux systems:
-------------------------
To validate that all components have been installed, run the
following command:

./cinfo -i

The two main differences from the current download options will be the FTP option will be replaced by HTTP and that you will need to use an IBM registered ID. The reason for this, is we can use Fix Central to notify you if there is a problem with the fix. Privacy is maintained.

To download the files using Fix Central use the following link:
