IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Step 5: Install and configure communications for Tivoli Performance Analyzer

You can install Tivoli Performance Analyzer to a server which also has other Tivoli Monitoring components installed, or you can install it to a separate machine. The installation procedure is similar to that for monitoring agents.

Complete the tasks described in the following table, in the order listed, to install and configure Tivoli Performance Analyzer.


Tasks for installing and configuring communications for the Tivoli Performance Analyzer

Task Procedure

Install Tivoli Performance Analyzer.

The installation procedure for Windows includes steps for configuring the connection between the Tivoli Performance Analyzer and the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring server. On Linux or AIX, this step is performed in a separate configuration procedure (Configuring the monitoring agent). See the information opposite. Be sure to perform all of the referenced installation and configuration procedures.

for sites setting up autonomous operation, the installation procedure includes steps for configuring the connection between the agent and the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. On Windows operating systems, if you want to run Tivoli Performance Analyzer without a connection to the hub, accept the defaults for the connection information, but specify a non valid name for the monitoring server. On UNIX and Linux operating systems, select No TEMS on the TEMS Connection in the configuration window.

To install Tivoli Performance Analyzer on Windows, complete the procedure Windows: Installing a monitoring agent. To install Tivoli Performance Analyzer agent on Linux or AIX, complete the procedure Linux or UNIX: Installing a monitoring agent, including the following subsections:

  • Install the monitoring agent

  • Configure the monitoring agent

  • Change the file permissions for agents

Do not complete the procedure for starting the agent.

Ensure that the latest Oracle patches are installed. Set the following system variable on the computer where Tivoli Performance Analyzer is installed. Restart the computer after setting the variable. The format of the NLS_LANG environment variable is: NLS_LANG=language_territory.charset.

Set the language and territory to appropriate variables. For the United States this is NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8.

See the Oracle documentation for instructions on how to install an Oracle client. Obtain Oracle ODBC drivers from the following Web site:http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odbc/htdocs/utilsoft.html.

If the Tivoli Data Warehouse is located on a remote computer, create a TNS (Transparent Network Substrate) Service Name on the local computer where the Tivoli Performance Analyzer is located.

Create a TNS Service Name

On the computer where the Tivoli Performance Analyzer is installed, configure an ODBC data source for the data warehouse, using the TNS Service Name that you created in the preceding step.

Configure an ODBC data source for an Oracle data warehouse

Install an Oracle Type 4 JDBC driver on the computer where the Tivoli Performance Analyzer is installed.

Obtain the Oracle JDBC Driver from the following Web site:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html

The Oracle JDBC driver JAR file name and location after installation is as follows:

oracleinstalldir/jdbc/lib/ojdbc14.jar

The ojdbc14.jar file supports JRE 1.5 or higher, the required Java Runtime Environment for IBM Tivoli Monitoring.

Configure Tivoli Performance Analyzer to connect to the data warehouse. For Tivoli Performance Analyzer on Windows, see Configure a Tivoli Performance Analyzer on Windows (ODBC connection). For a Tivoli Performance Analyzer on Linux or AIX, see Configure Tivoli Performance Analyzer on Linux or UNIX (JDBC connection).
Start Tivoli Performance Analyzer. Start Tivoli Performance Analyzer
Install the domain definitions that Tivoli Performance Analyzer uses to analyze and predict trends for data collected by OS, DB2, Oracle, System p, ITCAM for Response Time, and VMware monitoring agents. Install domain definitions for Tivoli Performance Analyzer
