Re: PCP Agent Question?

[Alan Hoyt <ahoyt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess you're asking for a Solaris pmda status update, so here it is:

We are working with Sun Microsystems to get the Solaris pmda tested in 
their iForce centers - this requires adequate GUI tools necessary for 
the testing requirements which we don't currently have. We contacted 
both SGI sales and Ken McDonell about garnering use of the PCP GUI 
tools, but both were unresponsive to our queries.  As a result, things 
have been delayed while we write the necessary GUI interface. 

Once the GUI is completed, we must finish patching both PCP and the QA 
suite to resolve the remaining Solaris centric dependencies/issues.  In 
other words, the existing Solaris support within PCP (I am assuming you 
are referring to release 2.3.0-14) is incomplete and should NOT be 
deployed in a production environment.

Also, you didn't mention which version of Solaris you were referring to 
- we are only targeting releases 8 and 9 on Sparc.

To summarize, we need to complete the GUI, complete the testing process 
and merge the remaining (i.e. necessary) patches into the PCP framework 
- then we will release the Solaris pmda to the public under the GPL.
