About this task

Log files of the PowerVM scanner contain only the UUID of the affected system for some error messages. To determine the name of the Managed System via the UUID requires some effort.

Since BVQ Release 2023.H1. the output in log files has been extended by the readable names of Managed Systems, Logical Partitions and also the name of the queried HMC.  

Applies to

All Versions and Systems

Procedure

• Query of all Managed Systems of a HMC
• How to determine the name of the managed systems via the UUID?
• How to check via REST if the data collection of a managed system is enabled?
• Convert preferences file into a clear table
• The Processed Metrics query used by BVQ
• REST vs CLI

These are very profound changes which need to be made by the SVA/BVQ SEs.
