IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Upgrade the Warehouse Proxy Agent and Summarization and Pruning Agent in silent mode, using the silent response file
A silent installation runs on its own and does not require you to provide input to dialog boxes or monitor the installation. This reduces the time spent on upgrading.
To upgrade the Warehouse Proxy Agent or the Summarization and Pruning Agent in silent mode, you must complete the following steps:
- The Warehouse Proxy Agent or Summarization and Pruning Agent should already be installed at a lower level before upgrading.
- All agents should be stopped before upgrading.
- Create the silent install response file, see Warehouse Proxy Agent silent install response file sample orSummarization and Pruning Agent silent install response file sample.
- Run the following command from the installation image:
./install.sh -q -h <install_dir> -p <response_file>
Do not specify the path of the directory containing ./install.sh as the IBM Tivoli Monitoring home directory. On certain platforms, this can cause the plug-in JAR files to overwrite themselves and become zero length files. The installation will fail as a result.
In addition, do not use the number sign (#) or exclamation mark (!) characters anywhere in your installation directory path.
Results
The Warehouse Proxy Agent or Summarization and Pruning Agent should now be upgraded and should not change the previous configuration. Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services should show the new version of the Warehouse Proxy Agent or Summarization and Pruning Agent.
The config files hd.ini as well as sy.ini should still contain the same information that it had before the upgrade, in addition to the new parameters introduced in the current release. The Warehouse Proxy Agent or Summarization and Pruning Agent can be restarted without reconfiguration, provided they were configured correctly before upgrade.
The Warehouse Proxy Agent and Summarization and Pruning Agent are not started automatically after the upgrade has completed. Depending on the installed agents and the associated attribute groups enabled for historical collection, and whether limited database permissions are granted to the warehouse user, a database administrator might need to use the schema publication tool to generate a script with the required changes for the database. See Schema Publication Tool.
