IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Install and set up the Summarization and Pruning Agent on clusternode1


Procedure

  1. Check which cluster node is active (online):

    lsrg -m

  2. If you installed other Tivoli Monitoring components to the shared file system, use the same installation path for the Summarization and Pruning Agent.

  3. Change the cluster's mode to Manual:

    samctrl –M T

  4. On the active node, install the warehouse proxy agent, according to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Installation and Setup Guide.

  5. Use the following method to configure the Summarization and Pruning Agent:

    To invoke a GUI application, use <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmcmd manage, which it requires a connection to an X Server.

  6. Configure the monitoring server host name so that it is the same as the virtual host name of the monitoring server (assuming the hub monitoring server is clustered).

    The monitoring server host name is the TEMS Hostname field on the GUI TEMS Connection tab.

  7. Set the Primary Network Name to the virtual host name of the Summarization and Pruning Agent system.

    The Primary Network Name is the Network Name field, which is available after selecting Specify Optional Primary Network on the GUI TEMS Connection tab.

  8. Configure the Warehouse Proxy Agent to allow access to the database which you created previously. On the Agent Parameters tab:

    1. Add the DB2 JDBC drivers. (To add JDBC drivers, use the scroll bar in the Sources section, and scroll to the right, exposing the Add and Delete buttons.)

    2. Update the Warehouse URL so that it refers to the correct database and port.

    3. Set the Warehouse User and Warehouse Password.

    4. Check the parameters using the Test database connection button.

    5. Save the configuration.

  9. Shut down the agent if it is running.

  10. Change the cluster's mode to Automatic:

    samctrl –M F

  11. Disable the automatic startup of the Summarization and Pruning Agent:

    1. Edit the /shareddisk/ITM/config/kcirunas.cfg file.

    2. Add the following section after the <agent> line by including the following syntax:

      <productCode>sy</productCode>
      <default>
      <autoStart>no</autoStart>
      </default>

    3. Save the file.

    4. As user root, run...

        /shareddisk/ITM/bin/UpdateAutoRun.sh

    The path to the kcirunas.cfg file and the UpdateAutoRun.sh command (/shareddisk/ITM) might be different on your system.
