IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Install domain definitions for Tivoli Performance Analyzer
Install the domain definitions to enable performance analytics for a broader set of systems including DB2, Oracle, System p Series, ITCAM for RT, and VMware. You can install domain definitions in GUI mode or console mode. The domain definitions for the Tivoli Performance Analyzer are found on the IBM Tivoli Performance Analyzer Reports and Domain Definitions DVD or DVD image.
- Tivoli Performance Analyzer is a special agent that works on data collected by other agents. Tivoli Performance Analyzer is shipped with separate packages called domains. These domains bundle together a set of artifacts that are used to process and present warehoused data collected by other agents. For example, there is Performance Analyzer DB2 domain, Performance Analyzer OS Domain, Performance Analyzer Oracle Domain, and so on.
- Domain definitions for Tivoli Performance Analyzer must be added in order to complete the product configuration. You must install the domains on the server that has the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Tivoli Performance Analyzer installed. In a distributed environment, you must perform domain installation on each server where at least one of these components is installed: hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Tivoli Performance Analyzer.
- When run on a host, the domain installer presents options to add domain support for only those components that it finds installed on the server locally, for example Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal clients - Browser and Desktop, Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, or Tivoli Performance Analyzer itself. Choose the installed component as appropriate.
- Due to new domain product codes introduced with Tivoli Monitoring V6.2.3, any historical data collection settings for the Tivoli Performance Analyzer are not maintained when upgrading from V6.2.2 to V6.2.3 or higher. The domain installer image includes scripts that create historical data collection settings. You can use these scripts to quickly recreate any historical data collection settings that were lost.
The logs for the domain installation can be found at:
- <ITM DIR>\logs\itpa_domain.log
- <ITM DIR>/logs/itpa_domain.log
- Install domain definitions in GUI mode
Use the GUI to install the domain definitions automatically and check if all the required programs for configuration are in place.
- Install the domain definitions in console mode
Use the console mode to install the domain definitions in an interactive manner.
