disk graphs after a Solaris live_upgrade
After patching Solaris 10 using liveupgrade we get all the /.alt directories in the disk data graphs. Obviously they are in the RRD data file now, but totally redundant. All the graphs are messed up now. After patching was done and all these extra /.alt filesystems (one for each Zone, and we had 10) was unmounted The disk page looks normal again at the top, the df output. But all the graphs are messed up only the root fs and a data fs shows up in the graphs. We get all these non existing /.alt filesystems in the graphs and we are missing the original ones.
Is there a way of getting it back to normal without destroying historical data?
Maybe some fancy rrd command?
And is there a way of preventing this for future liveupgrades?

You just need to delete the .rrd files associated with the unmounted disks. $XYMONHOME/data/rrd/<servername>/<file>.
Thanks, Larry Barber

Ah, didn't realize that there was a rrd for each filesystem. Thanks a lot, problem solved.

It is quite reasonable to run a find in your rrd repository and delete all old rrd files. Active rrd files are normally updated every 5 minutes. Something that hasn't been updated in a month, is probably no longer in use.

I am not familiar with this Solaris feature, but if the mount-points for these are always ">something>/.alt", then in analysis.cfg you can add
DISK %/.alt IGNORERegards, Henrik

Yes, that is what I do for the same reason.

Yes, I thought of that, but will the rrd still be created? Vernons trick of deleting 1 month old rrd's will fix that.
So those 2 will prevent it for future liveupgrades.
