IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

When dynamically moving processors from one lpar to another snmp no longer reports accurate processor information

When dynamically moving processors from one lpar to another snmp no longer reports accurate processor information:

 

INT MAX for moved processors confuses reports:

hrProcessorLoad.1 = 2147483647

 

Also snmp does not match processor sequential number to smtctl

smtctl starts with number 4 and snmp starts with number 1.
