hi,

updated our management server to aixtoolbox and the  lpar2rrd instance on it had quite some difficulties with your rrdtool package.

the default 64bit version yields the above error, changing the link to the 32bit binary fixed the error.

i read about this in the rrdtool forums, and it seems this is a somewhat  common error in the rrd library, but i did not investigate this any further.

We don't have access to lpar2rrd. How lpar2rrd invokes rrdtool ?

rrdtool is called via the RRDp module from your rrdtool-perl package.

 excerpt from lpar2rrd code:

use RRDp;

 

# start RRD via a pipe
RRDp::start "$rrdtool";

timing_debug("rrdtool start");

# keep here green - yellow - red - blue ...
my @color = ( "#FF0000", "#0000FF", "#FFFF00", "#00FFFF", "#FFA500", "#00FF00", "#808080", "#FF00FF", "#800080", "#FDD017", "#0000A0", "#3BB9FF", "#008000", "#800000",

my $color_max = 53;    # 0 - 53 is 54 colors

my @table_out = "";
my $ret = create_graph( $host, $server, $lpar, $item, $time, $name_out, $type_sam, $upper, $alarm, $graph_hours, $amax, $start_unix, $end_unix, $entitle );

# close RRD pipe
RRDp::end;

The perl used is 32bit or 64bit ? There could be a mismatch between 32/64bit version perl and rrdtool.

hmm...you are providing different 32/64bit binaries in your perl package? if yes, i was not aware of that and this might be of course be the source of my problem.
