IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Additional Linux and UNIX configuration steps
This chapter provides information about additional configuration that might be required for Linux and UNIX systems.
- Disable fsync() calls
The KGLCB_FSYNC_ENABLED parameter can be used to specify whether the fsync() system call should be invoked after writes to the filesystem. This configuration variable may be set in the standard configuration file for the monitoring server.
- Configure permissions for a monitoring server on a non-NIS Solaris computer
If your monitoring server is installed on a non-NIS Solaris computer, set the permissions. You do not need to do this for monitoring servers running on AIX or Linux.
- Linux requirements for the localhost host name
KDH servicepoint manipulation and the kdh (http/https) port-sharing code requires the availability of localhost: the localhost host name must exist and be resolvable to an address on the local system.
- Set ulimit values for the Warehouse Proxy Agent
There is a limit on the number of open file descriptors that can be opened by the Warehouse Proxy process when it is running on UNIX and Linux systems. When a Tivoli Monitoring operating system monitoring agent connects to the Warehouse Proxy Agent, it uses a set of file descriptors for communication. When the number of operating system agent connections exceeds the file descriptor limit, the agent process consumes high amounts of CPU as it is unable to send data.
