Create symbolic links: apachectl (start/stop apache), httpd -S : to test httpd.conf

Now edit http.conf:

vi /opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

1. verify alias_module and cgi_module is loaded (uncommented it, the path can be different)
    LoadModule alias_module /opt/freeware/lib/httpd/modules/mod_alias.so
    LoadModule cgi_module /opt/freeware/lib/httpd/modules/mod_cgi.so
2. change user and group
User lpar2rrd
Group staff

3. append this at the end
AddHandler cgi-script .sh
Alias /lpar2rrd  "/home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/www/"
<Directory "/home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/www/">

Test the CGI module http://monitor2/lpar2rrd-cgi/test.sh

Add an entry into lpar2rrd crontab (recheck every hour the LPARs definitions in case of change, support also LPAR mobility):

You can find the PERL library paths using the command:

# /usr/bin/perl -V

You can also check RRD DB consistency (take long tome, logs into /tmp/check_rrdtool.sh-*)

# cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd

When you test the connection using GUI =⇒ bad status

ERROR - ssh_test.pl

Check into the file /home/lpar2rrd/stor2rrd/etc/web_config/devicecfg.json, you have maybe a bad config, if you have done a mistake, it can stay into this config file Ex: ask for password !!!

Look also into config file Ex: /home/lpar2rrd/stor2rrd/etc/*cfg
