Hi All,

We are using AIX RSI for collecting remote LPAR statistics.
Recently we found that two of the VIO LPAR in our configuration has same partition ID. Both the LPARs are under the same HMC.
Because these LPARs have same partition id, RSI interface some time returns data from one LPAR and and some times return data from the other LPAR.

As an example, assuming that node1 and node2 are two LPARs with same partition id and we are collecting LPAR statistics for all the LPARs on node1.
Since partition id is the same, some times data from node2 is collected instead of node1 and vice versa. Data from both the nodes will not be present at the same.
Could you please help us here to resolve this issue? This scenario is not reproducible all the time, but it switches the data from node1 and node2.
We are working with the os version 6.1.

Thanks and Regards,
Jobin Joseph

The HMC should not have allowed the creation of two partitions with the same ID.  IMHO that should be corrected as soon as possible because the references to partitions by the HMC are by the number and not by the name.
