When discovering AIX systems, the serial number of the underlaying hardware is used.
So all AIX systems on this hardware will get the same serial number, resulting in one big system in device42 with alle ips and mac.

I changed the infos the script is gathering in "get_sys", find attached a new version.
Additionally i added the OS pathlevel to OS version number.

See lines 60, 69 and 79 for comments.

I had that issue until I changed "duplicate_serials" to True. Once I did that it stored each LPAR as different devices.

2 thoughts on this:

  1. We ended up appending LPAR IDs to name and serial # on AS400. We can possibly do the same for AIX.
  2. We are about to release new matching algorithm to detect existing devices that take more data in the account (other than just name, serial #, and UUID) and that will help with separate LPAR creation even with the same serial # .
