Installing core components depends on the size of the environment and the complexity regarding multiple Warehouse Proxy Agents.
In some situations you might want to move the Tivoli Data Warehouse database to a different computer or Relational Data Base Management System. The migration procedure described in Tivoli Data Warehouse manuals does not cover Performance Analyzer configuration data. See Moving the Tivoli Performance Analyzer configuration database in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring information center.
The steps outlined in Deployment phase will assist you with your project planning and ensure that the deployment phase goes smoothly.
