IBM AIX System p Hardware - Change History

TKU July 2008

Updated the pattern to check for existence of the Host node before running the pattern. 

TKU December 2008

Improved the regular expression that parses the hardware model number.

TKU September 2010

(Compatible with BMC Discovery 8.2.x) Updated the pattern to add the partition attribute to the Host node. The new attribute represents a logical partition to enable enhanced reporting of hardware virtualization and correct data export to BMC Atrium CMDB.

TKU December 2010

(Compatible with BMC Discovery 8.2.x) Updated the pattern's trigger to improve accuracy of LPAR modelling. Changed the key for the HostContainer node to reflect changes in LPAR modelling.

TKU January 2011

(Compatible with BMC Discovery 8.2.x) Updated the HostContainer key, name and type attributes to reflect the change in IBM systems naming from "System p" to "POWER". Also, added support for partitions moving from one host container to another by ensuring that the LPAR host is related to only one HostContainer node on every scan.
