Lucas, this error happened because you didn't define the agent as system agent level, for do that you need to leave in blank the SystemLevelAgent= attribute when you configure the first agent. /opt/ibm/powervp/iconfig Listen=”* 13000” SystemLevelAgent= After that, the other agent should be configured as platform level agent pointing to the System Level Agent configured previously, like this /opt/ibm/powervp/iconfig Listen=”* 13000” SystemLevelAgent=IPaddressOfSystemLevelAgent.

Gr8 blog, I've installed the agent first on the vios on our p260, but PowerVP says "The agent on partition x.x.x.x is not a system agent". than installed agent on aix the same way and had no problem with AIX agent installation. I'll appreciate any ideas on resolving the issue.

Hi Redbulls Thailand, Check that the port is open and listening on the partition: # lsof -i tcp:13000 # telnet 0 13000 Check that the PowerVP service is running: # ps -ef | grep syslet

Hi I have installed & update PowerVP { agent + gui } on the same LPAR ( virtualized by VIOS on POWER770+) using all default setting. Then I started agent and later GUI. ( everything running ) At GUI I tried to connect to this LPAR IP address but I got this error message. Do you have any idea about the problem ? MSG0021: Error connecting to system level agent 10.1.205.7 on port 13000: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation MSG0024: Error registering this partition level agent 10.1.205.7 with system level agent 10.1.205.7 on port 13000, rc -1. Possible configuration error

Is there a way to get the GUI to use DNS. My servers are on a private network. When I click on an LPAR to get more information, the GUI attempts to use the 10. address to connect to the LPAR. Also when I did my install, the PowerVP.conf file did not get created, but it seems to work fine otherwise.
PowerVP is dependent on firmware level 7.7 and higher which is available on certain models of POWER7 and POWER7+ systems. So, it would appear that there is no support for your server at this time.

Hi, I appreciate this blog. I have some comments: - We lauch install in console mode with ./PowerVP.bin.SP1 –i Console - In my case I can still see the message : _______________________________ 1970-05-30 20:00:19.394 Error - MSG0047: MSG0205: System does not support the required interfaces. Firmware version 7.7 or greater is required..
