Should AIX LPARs be considered as Virtual servers? If so, it doesn't seem that Business rule 'Virtual Computer Check' set "is virtual" attribute properly for AIX? If not, what are criteria SN is using to determine if an AIX server is virtual or physical? Thanks.

It has been a while since I last looked at AIX but I believe out of the box it doesn't mark them as virtual as their is no indication when it is discovered. I know in the past clients have done it by discovering the IBM HMC topology which in that script it actually marked them as virtual. Hope this helps.

I'm not an AIX expert but if they run an SSH shell you should be able to get something out of them. If they don't but are managed by HMC then it might be possible to pull topology and basic hardware data from HMC to report back on those servers.

Yup, we discovered Power PC series (POWER7 and POWER8). OOTB probes didn't set the "is virtual" attribute. We will try the custom scripts to discover thru HMC as per
