BMC PATROL for UNIX and Linux version 9.13.00 now supports the IBM POWER8 processor.
BMC recommends the Data Collection Manager (DCM) data collection mode in an AIX SPLPAR environment. In the DCM data collection mode, the Health At A Glance data collector sets the value of the HAAGCPUUsage parameter depending on the value of the CPUUtilPerVCpu parameter. However, in the COLLECTORS mode, the CPUUtilPerVCpu parameter is not available and hence the HAAGColl collector parameter uses the CPUCpuUtil parameter value only if the /DisableCpuUtil PATROL Agent configuration variable is set to 0.
For more information about the DCM data collection mode, see DCM Collection Method.
