IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Populate the agent depot from the installation image
You can use the installation image to populate the agent depot only when you are populating the depot with bundles for the same operating system as your monitoring server.
Use the following sections to populate the agent depot from the installation image:
- Windows: Populating the agent depot during installation
- Linux and UNIX: Populating the agent depot during installation
You can use the installation image to add a bundle for a Windows agent to a Windows monitoring server, but you cannot use the Linux installation image to add a Linux bundle to a Windows monitoring server. If add bundles for operating systems other than that used by your monitoring server, use the tacmd addBundles command, as described in Populate the agent depot with the tacmd addBundles command.
Load only Tivoli-provided product agent bundles into the IBM Tivoli Monitoring deployment depot. User-provided or customized bundles are not supported. Use only Tivoli-provided tacmd commands to process bundles and to execute agent deployments. Manual manipulation of the depot directory structure or the bundles and files within it is not supported and may void your warranty.
