IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Naming your monitoring server
In general, create names that are short but meaningful within your environment. Use the following guidelines:
- Each name must be unique. One name cannot match another monitoring server name for its entire length. (For example, "ibm" and "ibmremote" are unique and permitted.)
- Each name must begin with an alpha character. No blanks or special characters ("$#@") can be used.
- Each name must be between 2 and 32 characters in length.
- Monitoring server naming is case-sensitive on all platforms.
