Hi Kmet, here are the answers to your questions:
1) Sorry, Ganglia v3.0.7 still doesn't support any POWER5 features, probably the whole v3.0.x series never will. However, the new 3.1.x series - still in development - will offer via Python the capability to dynamically and individually add metrics. I am still trying to get v3.1.x to compile/run on AIX, might still take a little bit. 2) and 3) The problem with that setup - gmetad on i386 Linux and gmond on AIX LPARs - is that the vanilla gmetad implementation contained in ANY v3.0.x release of Ganglia doesn't understand the additional POWER5 metrics as I had to extend the Ganglia protocol to add those metrics. My advise would be - if you can - run the gmetad server either in an AIX or Linux LPAR on the POWER5/6 system and add your i386 Linux nodes to that gmetad server. This way all metrics will be properly displayed. I am still in the process of creating v3.0.7 Ganglia RPMs, I will notify you and this list when they are ready. PS: It should work without any problems to run the v3.0.5 gmetad on AIX/Linux on POWER and the v3.0.7 gmonds on i386 Linux. But the v3.0.7 RPMs will be ready soon....
