Zenoss, monitor disk IO on AIX

Trying to setup a device collector or a template to monitor disk IO under AIX.  Massive Googling done and I found http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=19040 however since SNMP is working.. I'm unsure as to what this extended info might give me.  What I did find however was a Zenpack http://wiki.zenoss.org/ZenPack:Oracle_Database_(Community) however it requires the Oracle client.  So I've tried the 11g linux_64 client.. however the 'runInstaller' refused to work I think because I had no X-server on this server. So I'm about to try version 12.1.

Version 12.1 full client did not work either, I do not have another box running CentOS with a gui to generate a response file.  So basically since all I needed was SQLPlus and tnsping I following the outline here: http://pfierens.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/adding-tnsping-to-the-instant-client-11-2/ keeping with the 12.1 Instant Client I installed already and used WinSCP to move the tnsping binary and the 'mesg' directory over.
