IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Install server components on Windows and UNIX
The first step is to install the Tivoli Monitoring server components. In general, for planning purposes, allow one day for this task.
In some cases, installing the server components takes longer than one day due to change control processes or lack of access to key personnel such as database administrators and network administrators. By arranging for key personnel to be available before beginning the installation, you ensure a timely deployment.
Tivoli Monitoring includes the following server components for a typical monitoring environment:
- DB2
- Monitoring server
- Portal server
Although IBM Java is included with the Tivoli Monitoring distribution, special considerations might need to be made if there are existing versions of Java required on the server where Tivoli Monitoring is to be installed. Thus, Java might be a specific component that also needs to be addressed as part of your planning process.
The following optional server components can also be installed:
- Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server:
Installed on the same system as the Hub monitoring server. If you plan to use this component, you also must install these Jazz for Service Management components: Registry Services (required), and Security Services (optional).
- Dashboard Application Services Hub:
Jazz for Service Management component that provides the platform for installing monitoring dashboard applications such as IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers and the Authorization Policy Server.
If you are installing these optional components, allow one additional day to get them installed.
