IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
New in Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
The following enhancements to IBM Tivoli Monitoring affect installation or configuration since the release of Version 6.3 Fix Pack 1.
- Open Services Lifecycle Collaboration Performance Monitoring (OSLC-PM) service provider features are supported for Hot-Standby configuration
- You can configure the OSLC-PM service provider for a Hub monitoring server that is enabled for Hot Standby. To do this, specify a value for the acting hub alias when you configure the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server.
- Enable IP version 6 (IPv6) communication at installation
- You can configure Tivoli Monitoring components for IPv6 communication from configuration tools at installation time. In order to use IPv6 with Tivoli Monitoring components, you must ensure your operating system is set up and configured for IPv6.
- NIST SP800-131a encryption
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publications (SP) 800-131a standard strengthens algorithms and increases the key lengths to improve security. All certificates for communication are RSA with 2048 bit keys signed, with at least SHA-256 bit digital signatures or Elliptic curve cryptography certificates. See Enabling SP800-131a for IBM Tivoli Monitoring in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide.
- Prerequisite Scanner for Tivoli Monitoring components
- The integrated Prerequisite Scanner allows you to quickly identify any missing prerequisites before you install or upgrade to a new version of IBM Tivoli Monitoring. An initial scan result is displayed, as well as the path to the detailed prerequisite scanning result file for each component.
- Create and maintain the dimension tables required for Tivoli Common Reporting and IBM Tivoli Monitoring using the Summarization and Pruning agent
- In IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.3, you had to use the Schema Publication Tool to create the dimension tables in the Tivoli Data Warehouse. Now you can configure the Summarization and Pruning agent to create and maintain the dimension tables. See Configure the Summarization and Pruning Agent (JDBC connection) and Configure the Summarization and Pruning Agent on Linux or UNIX: command-line procedure.
- 64-bit Summarization and Pruning Agent is available for 64-bit Windows machines
- Both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the Summarization and Pruning Agent are available.
