IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Add an additional kernel - Windows

You can add a second kernel instance. More than two kernels are not supported. To add an additional Kernel to the Managing Server configuration:

  1. Decide which ports to use for the additional Kernel. Each Kernel requires three ports for operation. Edit the MS_home/bin/setenv.sh file and add the following properties:

    • KERNEL_HOST${KERNEL_COUNT}=hostname. For example,

        KERNEL_HOST02=dev-lnx-mycompany

    • PORT_KERNEL_CODEBASE${KERNEL_COUNT}=port_number. For example,

        PORT_KERNEL_CODEBASE02=9123

    • PORT_KERNEL_RFS${KERNEL_COUNT}=port_number. For example,

        PORT_KERNEL_RFS02=9121

    • PORT_KERNEL_RMI{KERNEL_COUNT}=port_number. For example,

        PORT_KERNEL_RMI=9119

  2. Edit the MS_home/etc/ms.properties file and set the kernel.hosts property as follows: 

    kernel.hosts=KERNEL_HOST01:PORT_KERNEL_CODEBASE01:
        PORT_KERNEL_RFS01:PORT_KERNEL_RMI01,KERNEL_HOST02:
        PORT_KERNEL_CODEBASE02:PORT_KERNEL_RFS02:PORT_KERNEL_RMI02
    For example, 
    dev-lnx-mycompany.usca.abc.com:8122:8120:8118, dev-lnx-mycompany.usca.abc.com:8123:8121:8119

  3. Increase the heap size if needed. See Tuning recommendations for large-scale environments

  4. Stop the Managing Server.

  5. In MS_home\bin, edit the am-start.sh script according to the number of kernels there are.

    If there are two kernels, then the am-start.sh script must have the following commands:

      amctl.sh wd1 start amctl.sh wd2 start

  6. In MS_home\bin, edit the am-stop.sh script according to the number of kernels there are. If there are two kernels, then the am-start.sh script must have the following commands:

      >amctl.sh wd1 stop amctl.sh wd2 stop

    Also edit the am-status.sh script in the same directory according to the number of kernels.

  7. Start the Managing Server.

  8. For the data collectors connecting to this Managing Server, restart the instances of the application servers that are being monitored by the data collectors.
