IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Prerequisite Scanner for IBM Tivoli Monitoring agents
You can perform prerequisite scanning for agents before carrying out an installation.
The two mechanisms available are a manually executed stand-alone Prerequisite Scanner and a remote prerequisite scanner facility that extends the capabilities of IBM Tivoli Monitoring's remote deployment component.
- Only the operating system (OS) agents are enabled with prerequisite checking. If you attempt to run remote prerequisite scanning with an application agent, the operation fails because the application agent does not provide a Prerequisite Scanner.
- On Windows platforms, the prerequisite scanner requires the Microsoft .Net Framework v2.0 to be installed.
- Stand-alone prerequisite scanning
Review these topics before you run the stand-alone Prerequisite Scanner.
- Remote prerequisite scanning
Review the requirements for using remote prerequisite scanning.
