Collect Data for VIPA Reports

Because VIPA resources are dynamic, the procedure to collect report data for VIPAs differs to that for other resource types.

To collect data for VIPA reports, you must update the VIPA resource template. Updating the template ensures that VIPA data is collected when the VIPA switches to different physical devices.

To collect data for VIPA reports

1. Enter =A.R.T.R at the prompt.

   The Resource Template Definition panel appears.

2. Enter S beside the VIPA resource class.
3. Enter U beside the VIPA template for which you want to collect data.

   The Panel Display List appears.

4. Enter S beside the VIPA Monitoring Definition.

   The Monitoring Definition panel appears.

5. Enter YES in the Send to ReportCenter? field.
6. Press F3 (File) to save the settings.

Collect VIPA Data Temporarily

To collect data for VIPA reports temporarily

1. Enter /IPMON at the prompt.

   The IP resource monitor appears.

2. Enter UM beside the VIPA resource for which you want to collect data.

   The Monitoring Definition panel appears.

3. Enter YES in the Send to ReportCenter? field.
4. Press F3 (File) to save the settings.

This temporary data collection is effective until the CA NetMaster region is restarted, or the VIPA is switched, whichever happens first. Temporary data collection may be useful for testing purposes, but in a production environment, you must enable the collection of VIPA data permanently.
