IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Silent configuration of the Performance Analyzer
The silent method of configuration is useful for advanced users who want to supply configuration information once through the silent configuration file for the Performance Analyzer.
With silent configuration, you can automate the configuration steps and avoid manual configuration of the Performance Analyzer.
- Locate the default silent configuration file for the Performance Analyzer.
- One sample silent_server.txt file is used by all agents for silent configuration. The sample file is provided on the product installation media.
- Each agent has a separate configuration file. For Performance Analyzer, the default configuration file is pa_silent_config.txt. For example: <ITM_HOME>/samples/pa_silent_config.txt.
- Review the default configuration parameters in the silent configuration file. If required, update the values according to your requirements.
- Save the file with a different file name.
- Run the Performance Analyzer silent configuration command:
- For silent configuration at Performance Analyzer installation, go to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory and run the command:
start /wait setup /z"/sf<Complete path to silent_server.txt>" /s /f2"<complete path to log file>"
- For silent configuration after Performance Analyzer installation, create the silent configuration file by copying Performance Analyzer-specific parameters and monitoring server connection-related parameters from the silent_server.txt file. Use the new silent configuration file in the command:
<ITM_HOME>\InstallITM\kinconfg.exe -aK<pc> -n<Complete path_to_silent_file>Where <pc> = pa
- Run the following command (from the bin directory of Tivoli Monitoring if that is not added to PATH):
itmcmd config -A -h <ITM_HOME> -p <Complete path to silent_config_pa.txt> pa
