Upgrade custom IBM Tivoli Monitoring v5.x resource models to IBM Tivoli Monitoring v6.2 agents
The procedure for upgrading a custom resource model differs in some respects from the procedure that is used for a standard resource model
If you determine that you want to create an agent to map the IBM Tivoli Monitoring v5.x resource models, complete the procedures for creating an agent in (Create a basic agent). When you generate the agent, ensure that you select the Generate an ITM 5x mapping file option in the Generate Agent wizard. See (Install the agent locally).
For the information about how to upgrade custom resource models, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Upgrading from IBM Tivoli Monitoring, version 5.1 to version 6.2 document.
The procedure for upgrading a custom resource model differs in some possible respects from the procedure that is used for a standard resource model:
Procedure
- When you do the upgrade, the resource model mapping file that is used by the assess command must be created. Create the file by copying and editing an existing mapping file, or by creating it from scratch.
For information about the assess command, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Upgrading from IBM Tivoli Monitoring, version 5.1 to version 6.2 document.
- To evaluate the mapping file that is created in the previous step, you might have to create a Java resource model plug-in class. You can use the Java resource model plug-in class to add your own coding to the standard evaluation used by the Agent Builder.
- If the resource model data collection differs from the collection that is used by the standard resource models, you might be required to create another agent. You can use Agent Builder to create this agent to collect the data. For this agent, you must also create an agent mapping file to enable the migration to work correctly.
- If the agent data collection cannot be provided by standard operating system facilities, you can create a Java agent plug-in class to do the collection.
Results
When these items are developed and tested, the migration follows the same steps as the migration of standard resource models.
