Hello...
You are correct, there was a problem with the RS/6000 status.
The numbers for the RS/6000's are obtained differently from the rest of
the machines, since they do not support the same SNMP as the rest of the
machines.
Suffice it to say that the process which collected those stats
somehow got killed on approximately January 26, but is now restarted.
Correct information is now appearing. Thank you for pointing out the
problem.
-Chris.
