Local Fixed Disk

[Ken Dahlgren]

SIM 5.0 SP5
Some servers data collection only gather logical disks listed as Local Fixed Disk. The drive letters never show up. Agents on servers are 7.60 and 7.80. I've tried updating the Mgmnt agents, removing system from HPSIM and readding. Nothing seems to work. Anyone have any idea's?

That can change depending on the mechanism used to gather the data.
I've found wbem and data from the agents shows up in the database tables under different descriptions as you're seeing.

I use wbem for my virtual guest servers and have to make allowances in the perl scripts I use to pull data directly from the HPSIM database for some reporting I do.

I've seen WBEM mentioned for other issues. What's funny with this issue is only 2 servers out of 151 report no drive letter for logical disks. I'm gonna try editing the data collection for those two servers and see if that changes the outcome. Thanks Rob for the tip.
