IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Installation and configuration
If you are installing IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Netcool/OMNIbus event integration for the first time, perform the tasks in this table.
However, if you are upgrading an existing event integration environment, see Upgrade from a previous installation of IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Netcool/OMNIbus integration.
You should use the IBM Tivoli Monitoring probe rules file and .sql files provided with IBM Tivoli Monitoring instead of the related Tivoli Monitoring rules file and .sql files provided with Tivoli Business Service Manager Version 4.2.1.
Installation and configuration
Task Architecture Type Administrator 1. Install Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer using the Tivoli Business Service Manager installation program or follow the procedures in the Tivoli Business Service Manager documentation for updating an existing ObjectServer with database schema updates required by Tivoli Business Service Manager.
See the Tivoli Business Service Manager Information Center for detailed instructions on this task: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v3r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.tivoli.itbsm.doc/welcome.htm.
Unidirectional and bidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 2. Install the Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF using the Tivoli Business Service Manager installation program or follow the procedures in the Tivoli Business Service Manager documentation for updating an existing EIF probe.
See the Tivoli Business Service Manager Information Center for detailed instructions on this task: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v3r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.tivoli.itbsm.doc/welcome.htm.
Unidirectional and bidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 3. Install the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Event Synchronization Component. Unidirectional and bidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 4. Update the OMNIbus database schema on single-tier or aggregation tier ObjectServers. Unidirectional and bidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 5. Change the default deduplication trigger. Unidirectional and bidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 6. Configure the OMNIbus server for program execution from scripts. Bidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 7. Start the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Situation Update Forwarder. See Start and stop the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Situation Update Forwarder. Bidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 8. If you have more than one monitoring server forwarding events to the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer, define additional monitoring servers to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Situation Update Forwarder. See Update the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Situation Forwarder to forward event status updates to additional monitoring servers. Bidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 9. To use the IBM Tivoli Monitoring probe rules include files for Tivoli Business Service Manager integration, see Configure the Netcool/OMNIbus EIF probe. Some monitoring agents also have their own probe rules include file. See the user guide for each monitoring agent that you plan to install to determine if it has a rules include file that should be copied to the computer system where the probe is installed and uncommented in the probe's main rules file, tivoli_eif.rules.
Unidirectional and bidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 10. For each hub monitoring server: Configure the hub monitoring server to forward events. Unidirectional and bidirectional IBM Tivoli Monitoring 11. Verify installation and configuration. Unidirectional and bidirectional IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Netcool/OMNIbus 12. Determine if additional configuration tasks should be performed. See Customize Event Integration. Unidirectional and bidirectional IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Netcool/OMNIbus
