IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Configure the IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers package after installation
If you chose the Installation feature alone for the IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers at installation or update time, use the Modify option in IBM Installation Manager for configuration after you have reviewed the deployment scripts of the dashboard application. When you configure the dashboard application, it is deployed to IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub.
Ensure that the configuration feature for IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub is already selected. IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboard for Servers is an extension offering of the Dashboard Application Services Hub. As a result, an error message is displayed if you attempt to select the infrastructure management dashboard configuration feature when Dashboard Application Servers Hub is not configured.
The installer will restart the IBM WebSphere Application Server as part of the installation or update process.
