IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Upgrade monitoring to data collector 7.1 using command line - WAS agent

If an application server instance is monitored by a previous version of the data collector (from ITCAM for WebSphere 6.1, ITCAM for Web Resources 6.2, or ITCAM for WebSphere 7.0), you can upgrade monitoring to version 7.1.

To upgrade monitoring of server instances to data collector version 7.1:

  1. Run...

      cd /opt/IBM/ITM/bin
      ./itmcmd config -A yn

    The itmcmd utility prompts you whether you want to change Agent configuration: 

    Agent configuration started...
Edit "ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications" settings? [ 1=Yes, 2=No ]
 (default is: 1):
    Enter 1, or press Enter to accept the default.

  2. The utility prompts you to select the configuration type:
    Select Configuration Type :
Choose the configuration type:
 
Configuration type description:
    1.Use this option to configure the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent 
(TEMA) port number or Agent ID. If you modify the Tivoli Monitoring Agent 
port, all Application Servers with data collectors must be restarted to 
complete the reconfiguration.
    2.Use this option to configure the data collector to monitor 
application server instances. You can also use this option to configure the 
data collector to connect to the Managing Server. The option requires that 
either the Application Servers are running (WAS Base Edition) or the Node 
Agent and Deployment Manager are running (WAS ND or XD). The Servers must 
be restarted to complete the configuration.
    3.Use this option to unconfigure the data collector from Application 
Server instances. This option will remove all data collector configuration 
and runtime filesfor these instances. It requires that either the Application 
Servers are running (WAS Base Edition) or the Node Agent and Deployment 
Manager are running (WAS ND or XD). The Server instances must be restarted 
to complete the configuration. After the unconfiguration, your Application 
Server instances will no longer be monitored.
    4.Use this option to reconfigure your data collectors to use a different 
Managing Server, change Managing Server information, or disable data collector 
communication to the Managing Server. The data collector must be already 
configured to monitor at least one application server instance. You will 
need to restart the application servers monitored by the data collector.
    5.Use this option to upgrade ITCAM for WebSphere 6.1.x data collector 
to ITCAM 7.1; also to upgrade ITCAM for WAS 7.0.x data collector to 
ITCAM 7.1. It requires that either the Application Servers are running 
(WAS Base Edition) or the Node Agent and Deployment Manager are running 
(WAS ND or XD). The Servers must be restarted to complete the configuration.
    6.Use this option to update data collectors with the new maintenance or 
reverting the update.It requires that either the Application Servers are 
running (WAS Base Edition) or the Node Agent and Deployment Manager are 
running (WAS ND or XD). The Servers must be restarted to complete the 
configuration.
    7.Use this option to remove unused data collectors maintenance levels.
Choose the configuration type: [ 1=Configure Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring 
Agent (TEMA), 2=Configure data collectors within Application Servers, 
3=Unconfigure data collectors from Application Servers, 4=Enable/disable 
communication to Managing Server for deep-dive diagnostics, 5=Upgrade 
ITCAM for WebSphere 6.1.x or ITCAM for WebSphere 7.0.x data collector 
to ITCAM 7.1, 6=Change data collectors maintenance level, 7=Remove 
unused data collectors maintenance levels ] (default is: 1):
    Type 5 and press Enter to upgrade monitoring of server instances to data collector version 7.1.

  3. The configuration utility prompts you for the home directory of the previous version of the data collector.
    data collector Home : 

Provide the ITCAM for WebSphere 6.1.x or ITCAM for WebSphere 7.x data collector installation directory (e.g. on Windows, C:\IBM\itcam\WebSphere\DC, on Linux/UNIX, /opt/IBM/itcam/WebSphere/DC).
data collector Home (default is: ):
    Enter the full path to the directory in which the older version of the data collector as installed. If it was configured with the default options, the path is /opt/IBM/itcam/WebSphere/DC.

  4. The following message is displayed.
    No 'Select Data Collector Configuration' settings available.
Edit 'Select Data Collector Configuration' settings, 
[1=Add, 2=Edit, 3=Del, 4=Next, 5=Exit] (default is: 5):
    Enter 1.

  5. The configuration utility prompts you for the WebSphere server instance names.
    Input WebSphere Server Instance Name 
For example: cells/ITCAMCell/nodes/ITCAMNode/servers/server1
(default is: ):
    Enter the full names of one or several WebSphere server instances, currently monitored by the older data collector, to upgrade. Separate multiple instances with commas (for example, cells/Cell01/nodes/Node01/servers/server1, cells/Cell01/nodes/Node01/servers/server2)

  6. The configuration utility prompts you for the host name or IP address of the WebSphere administrative server.
    Input the WebSphere administrative server host name or IP address. (If it has not changed since the configuration was applied, then you can leave
this value blank)
Input Server Admin Host Name (default is: ):
    If the WebSphere administrative server has not changed since this instance was configured, press Enter. Otherwise, enter the WebSphere administrative server fully qualified host name or IP address (for example, 9.123.98.67).

  7. Select the WebSphere administrative server connection type.
    The WebSphere administrative server connection type. 
(If it has not changed since the configuration was applied,  then you can leave this value blank)
Select Server Connection Type [ 1=SOAP, 2=RMI ]
 (default is :1):
    If the WebSphere administrative server connection has not changed since this instance was configured, press Enter. Otherwise, enter 1 for a SOAP connection, or 2 for an RMI connection.

  8. The configuration utility prompts you for the server administrative port number.
    The WebSphere administrative server SOAP or RMI connect port number.
(If it has not changed since the configuration was applied,  then you can leave this value blank)
Input Server SOAP or RMI connect port (default is: ):
    If the WebSphere administrative server port has not changed since this instance was configured, press Enter. Otherwise, enter the port number.

  9. The configuration utility prompts you whether you want to use the user name and password stored in the client properties file, if WebSphere Global Security is enabled.
    Do you want to use the user name and password stored in soap.client.props
 or sas.client.props of WebSphere?
Use the user name and password stored in client properties?
 [ 1=Yes, 2=No ] (default is: 2):
    To use the user name and password stored in the properties file, enter 1. To enter the user name and password, enter 2; then, when prompted, enter the WebSphere administrative user name and password. If WebSphere Global Security is disabled, enter 2, and press Enter when prompted for the user name and password.

  10. The following message is displayed.
    'Select Data Collector Configuration' settings:  
Name=cells/dev-lnx-w18Node02Cell/nodes/dev-lnx-w18Node02/servers/server1 
Edit 'Select Data Collector Configuration' settings, 
[1=Add, 2=Edit, 3=Del, 4=Next, 5=Exit] (default is: 5):
    If you want to upgrade data collector monitoring for more WebSphere application server instances, enter 1 and go to Step 5. Otherwise, press Enter.

  11. In the next step, you can choose to create a response file to save your configuration settings. You can use the response file to perform a silent configuration with the same parameters.
    The wizard can save your settings to a response file. A response file
 can be used to perform a silent configuration.
Save Configuration Setting in a Response File [ 1=true,  2=false ] (default is: 2):
    To create a response file, enter 1, then enter the name of the file. Otherwise, enter 2, or press Enter to accept the default.

  12. The configuration utility prompts you whether this Agent connects to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.
    Will this agent connect to a TEMS? [1=YES, 2=NO] (Default is: 1):
    If the IBM Tivoli Monitoring infrastructure is used, enter 1. Otherwise (in a deep dive diagnostics only install), enter 2; in this case the unconfiguration process will be completed

  13. If you have not yet configured the connection to a Monitoring Server, configure it, starting with Step 7.

    Otherwise, press Enter repeatedly to accept the existing settings for the connection to Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. Alternatively, you can change these settings; see Steps 7 to 14
