    AIX - cannot read response: timed out

    I am starting to do a Proof of Concept with Zabbix, and have the server installed on RHEL 9.4 with a PostgreSQL DB.
    20+ windows servers being monitored, no issues.

    We have two AIX 7.2 LPAR monitored, with the 7.4.3-1 agent installed, with PSK no issues.

    Attempting to add a third AIX LPAR, that is an Oracle DB server, using same setup as the previous two AIX LPAR, but keep getting the Availability in RED for ZBX.
    Mousing over the icon we see, "Get value from agent failed: Cannot read response: timed out"

    I have increased the Timeout value from 3 to 10 , but issue still remains.

    Basic telnet to a port from the Zab Server to the LPAR to monitor is successful.

    Any ideas what to try next to debug this issue?

    Is the Zabbix agent on the third AIX LPAR system enabled? Another thing to check is if that system's zabbix agent conf file is configured to accept connections from your zabbix server.

      The Zabbix agent is running on the third system, and there is output in /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log - Nothing obviously wrong shown in the log file.
      The Agent config file is identically to the other two AIX LPARs, only the PSK info was changed for the third LPAR. No issues with PSK , as it shows as green on the dashboard.
