AIX server discovery
Discovery identifies and classifies information about AIX servers.
Credentials
Configure SSH credentials.
For a list of privileged commands that you need for Discovery and Service Mapping, see Service Mapping commands requiring a privileged user. This list includes commands that require elevated rights to discover and map Unix-based hosts in your organization.
Use OpenSSH version 7.5.102 and above for AIX machines since lower versions of OpenSSH can impact the discovered devices that are encountered with Discovery.
Note: For information on Probe to Pattern migration see the knowledge article KB0694477.
Classifier, probes, and pattern
| Classifier | Probes | Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| AIX \(UNIX Classification\) | - Horizontal discovery probe: launches patterns - AIX - Installed Software^ - AIX - ADM^ - AIX - Identity\* - AIX - CPU\* - AIX - Hardware Model\* - AIX - Memory\* - AIX - OS Patches\* - AIX - OS Release\* - AIX - OS Revision\* - UNIX - Find FQDN - UNIX - OS Filesystems - UNIX - OS Uptime | AIX server |
*These probes aren't active on the classifier, as Discovery uses patterns by default for these discoveries.
^These probes remain active by default, even when Discovery uses pattern discovery.
To use patterns, verify that the correct pattern is specified in the horizontal pattern probe on the classifier. See Add the Horizontal Pattern probe to a classifier for instructions.
Data collected
Note: See the knowledge article KB0687582 for information on model_id and manufacturer.
