Oracle Cloud Control 13c Dataguard status metric error on AIX
When monitoring Oracle database dataguard targets on AIX using Cloud Control 13C the metric collection was failing with below error. The same metric " Data Guard Status " was collected successfully from same db targets with Cloud Control 12c. Lookup on error points towards requirement of enabling IOCP (I/O completion ports) on target AIX servers. You can check the status of IOCP using below command, bash-3.2$ lsdev -Cc iocp iocp0 Defined I/O Completion Ports bash-3.2$ If the status is defined as above it is required to use smitty and change the IOCP setting to available .
