IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Remote seeding from the hub monitoring server
You must copy the required files from the hub monitoring server to the other monitoring servers.
The following conditions apply for remote seeding from the hub monitoring server:
- Do not use the FTP Catalog and Attribute files option on the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window. This option is only for sending files by FTP to z/OS systems.
- Perform this task manually using a utility of your choice, such as FTP, SFTP, SCP, and so on.
- Replace all instances of <TEMSNAME> in these instructions with the name of the monitoring server on your distributed system.
- Copy the CAT and ATR files:
- Copy the CAT files from $CANDLEHOME/tables/ciCATrsq/RKDSCATL on the hub monitoring server to $CANDLEHOME/tables/ciCATrsq/RKDSCATL on the other monitoring server system.
- Copy the CAT files from $CANDLEHOME/tables/ciCATrsq/RKDSCATL on the other monitoring server system to $CANDLEHOME/tables/<monitoring serverNAME>/RKDSCATL on the same monitoring server system.
- Copy the ATR files from $CANDLEHOME/tables/ciCATrsq/ATTRLIB on the hub monitoring server to $CANDLEHOME/tables/ciCATrsq/ATTRLIB on the other monitoring server system.
- Copy the ATR files from $CANDLEHOME/tables/ciCATrsq/ATTRLIB on the other monitoring server system to $CANDLEHOME/tables/<monitoring serverNAME>/ATTRLIB on the same monitoring server system.
- If you use Tivoli Enterprise Console servers, copy the .map and .baroc files:
- Copy the baroc and map files from $CANDLEHOME/tables/ciCATrsq/TECLIB on the hub monitoring server to $CANDLEHOME/tables/ciCATrsq/TECLIB on the other monitoring server system.
- Copy the baroc and map files from $CANDLEHOME/tables/ciCATrsq/TECLIB on the other monitoring server system to $CANDLEHOME/tables/<monitoring serverNAME>/TECLIB on the same monitoring server system.
- Use the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window to perform the seeding. On Linux/UNIX systems, run the itmcmd manage command to display the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window:
- In the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window, select the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.
- Click Actions → Install Product Support.
- A pop-up window is displayed with the options On this computer and On a different computer. Click On a different computer and then click OK.
- Click OK on the pop-up window after you have ensured that the monitoring server on the other machine is running.
- The Non-Resident monitoring server Connection window is displayed. Complete the information in this window and click OK.
- A second Non-Resident monitoring server Connection window is displayed. Enter the information required and click OK.
- If all of the connection information is correct a list of products available for seeding is displayed. Select the desired products from the list and execute the seeding.
- Remember to recycle the monitoring server on the system that has been updated.
