Install the package

Install the agent package on other systems:


Procedure

  1. Copy the compressed file, which is named product_code.zip for Windows systems or product_code.tgz for UNIX and Linux systems by default.

  2. Extract the file in a temporary location.

    For UNIX, this temporary location cannot be /tmp/product_code, where the product code is lowercase. You can install remotely using the compressed file.

    • On a Linux system, use the following commands to extract your .tgz file: 

        tar -xvzf filename

    • On an AIX system, use the following commands to extract your .tgz file: 

        gunzip filename 
tar -xvf filename

  3. Run the appropriate installation script.

    • To install the agent, Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Tivoli Enterprise Portal support all at together: 

        InstallIra.bat/.sh itm_install_location [[-h Hub_TEMS_hostname] -u 
HUB_TEMS_username -p Hub_TEMS_password]

    • To install only the agent: 

        installIraAgent.bat/.sh itm_install_location

    • To install the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server support: 

        installIraAgentTEMS.bat/.sh itm_install_location [[-h Hub_TEMS_hostname] -u 
HUB_TEMS_username -p Hub_TEMS_password]

    • To install the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and Tivoli Enterprise Portal support: 

        installIraAgentTEPS.bat/.sh itm_install_location

    The installation location is mandatory on all scripts: installIra.bat/.sh, installIraAgent.bat/.sh, installIraAgentTEMS.bat/.sh, and installIraAgentTEPS.bat/.sh, and must be the first argument. The rest is optional. If you are installing on Tivoli Monitoring v6.2 FP1 and a user ID is not provided, the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is recycled after support file installation. The user ID if provided is provided to installIra or installIraAgentTEMS. Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server restarts during the process of loading the support. If the system on which you are installing is Tivoli Monitoring v6.2, then the new arguments are not allowed. The arguments are not allowed because the new function that uses them is not available. On Tivoli Monitoring v6.2 FP1, if you provide the new arguments, Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server support is loaded without causing the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server to restart.

    The following components must be installed before the agent is displayed correctly in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal:

    • The agent

    • Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server

    • Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server

    • Tivoli Enterprise Portal support

  4. Configure and start the agent, see (Configure and starting the agent).


What to do next

If you changed the layout of your agent in a way that causes Navigator items to be moved or removed, restart the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and Tivoli Enterprise Portal. The restart ensures that your changes are correctly recognized.
