Description
This incident indicates that the IBM ServeRAID Manager Agent is either not installed or is not installed properly.
IBM Director Platform Agent*1 requires one version of the IBM ServeRAID Manager Agent for monitoring the health of the ServeRAID storage. Another "standalone" version of the ServeRAID Manager provides similar functionality to IBM Systems Director and should not be used with IBM Director Platform Agent*1.
For more information about ServeRAID Manager, visit the IBM Systems Director Resources Web site and look for "ServeRAID Manager."
See the "Additional information" section that follows for information about troubleshooting.
The so-called "standalone" ServeRAID Manager Agent is intended to be used directly with the ServeRAID Manager server. It is recommended that you do not install both the standalone version and the version of ServeRAID Manager Agent that works with IBM Systems Director.
Causes
IBM ServeRAID Manager Agent for Director Agent is not installed at all or not installed properly.
Implications
On an IBM system with ServeRAID storage, if the ServeRAID Manager Agent is not installed at all or not installed properly, almost all of the hardware instrumentations provided by ServeRAID are lost for systems management software, such as IBM Systems Director Server or Microsoft Operations Manager. As a result, the systems management software is not able to discover hardware components or monitor the health of the ServeRAID storage.
