Error description

  • Problem Description: Agile disks are not shown by the UNIX OS
    Agent on HP-UX 11.31.
    
    The UNIX OS Agent only lists the disks that follow the Legacy
    DSF naming convention.  Disks using the Persistent DSF naming
    convention that were introduced in HP-UX 11.31 are not
    displayed.  The environment variable MAX_NUMBER_OF_DISKS_HPUX
    allows the user to specify the maximum number of disks to
    monitor on the machine.  The environment variable
    EXCLUDE_LEGACY_DISKS set to true (EXCLUDE_LEGACY_DISKS=TRUE)
    can be used to exclude disks that follow the Legacy naming
    convention.
    
    Detailed Recreation Procedure:
    Run the UNIX OS Agent on a machine that has some Agile disks.
    Check that the "Disk Performance" view on the TEP does not show
    Agile disks.
    
    Related Files and Output: KBB_RAS1=ERROR (UNIT:kuxdstat ALL)
    
    The ./pstat_getdisk_test output showed all "Disk status" is
    equal to 0 (inactive)
    
     Disk hardware path = 4/0/5/1/0/4/0.98.59.19.0.0.0
     Disk status = 0
     Disk major identifier = 31
     Disk minor identifier = 1048576
