Scan IBM AIX Server supported of lansweeper?

[WINAIX]

Hi all,

we also use IBM AIX 7.x in our company and we want to scan this server.
Is the scanning of especially IBM AIX OS supported from lansweeper?
I know there exists an instruction to scan Linux/Unix but this is to general for
me. Also the server run productiv IT-systems and if a regualtor audit I will be safe.

Thanks

UP,
is something is plan to be able to retrieve Hardware info from AIX servers ?

I'm not sure which exact commands are executed to retrieve hardware data on Linux. Regardless, if a command is not supported by the Linux distro then it might well cause issues.

Best way to know for sure is always to just try it out. It seems others here have had success though.

Happy New Year Esben,

For sure there is no possibility to inventory Hardware of AIX Servers because command is not present in Lansweeper Binaries.
DMIDECODE is not existing in AIX OS.

Hi,

Not possible to get Hardware information on AIX Servers :

No Lsdev command ?

So No inventory data ?

You can send bug report about AIX filesystems issue to support@lansweeper.com.

Hey,

so I tested a AIX server with the Devicetester.
All ran good until to the disks with the follwing message:

Disks:
df: Not a recognized flag: h
Usage: df [-P] | [-IMitv] [-gkm] [-s] [filesystem ...] [file ...]
Network: ksh: /sbin/ifconfig: not found.

So I think the AIX server aren't supported, or...?!?

Yes, LS has basic support for AIX.
Our LS scans AIX 6.1, 7.1 on Power 6 and Power 7 platforms.
LS shows next info: OS, Uptime, Model+Serial, Memory, Processor, Network adapters(enX), Software Packets.
