IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Initiating Centralized Configuration with a load list file
If you have created a configuration load list file, initiate Centralized Configuration by placing it in the proper location and starting the agent. You can do this manually, using a non-agent deploy bundle, or through the command line interface using the tacmd putfile.
- Initiating by manually placing the load list file
You can initiate Centralized Configuration by placing the configuration load list file in the agent configuration directory and recycling the agent.
- Initiating with remote deployment of non-agent bundles
If your environment contains a large number of existing agents that are connected to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, you might prefer to use remote deployment to distribute the configuration load list to the agents. You can use the Agent Builderto build non-agent deployment bundles.
- Initiating with tacmd putfile
You can initiate Centralized Configuration using the CLI tacmd putfile to transfer the configuration load list to the monitoring agent.
