Under both Linux and UNIX, IBM Tivoli Monitoring (version 6.1 fix pack 6 and subsequent) supports multiple remote monitoring servers on the same LPAR or computer (however, it does not support multiple hub monitoring servers on the same computer). Note that each instance of a remote monitoring server must have its own network interface card and its own unique IP address; in addition, each monitoring server must be installed on its own disk. These limitations isolate each remote monitoring server instance so you can service each one independently: you can upgrade a remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server without affecting another server's code base and shared libraries.

Use the following steps to configure the remote monitoring server.
