Disk drive size details are not gathered in inventory by the FlexNet inventory agent when running on AIX 7.1 or 7.2. Disk drives are reported with a size of 0.
The agent queries the AIX ODM (object data manager) to get hardware information, including disk drive size details. Size details are not available in newer versions of AIX from the "size_in_mb" and "size" attributes queried by the agent, leading to the agent reporting that drives are 0 bytes in size.
The lsattr executable can be used to identify whether the drive size details are available in attributes that the agent uses. Output like the following will be received on computers that are affected by this issue:
# lsattr -El hdisk0 -a size_in_mb lsattr: 0514-528 The "size_in_mb" attribute does not exist in the predefined device configuration database. # lsattr -El hdisk0 -a size lsattr: 0514-528 The "size" attribute does not exist in the predefined device configuration database
