IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Plan assumptions
The information in the next four chapters is based on the assumptions in this section.
- You have completed the preliminary planning required to determine the size and topology of your environment and your warehousing needs. You may have already installed a monitoring server, a portal server, and some monitoring agents, but you have not yet created the Tivoli Data Warehouse.
- You are not installing IBM Tivoli Monitoring on one computer.
- You will create the Tivoli Data Warehouse database on a different computer from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
- If installing the warehouse database on Microsoft SQL Server, you will also install the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server on a Windows-based computer. This restriction applies even if the warehouse database and portal server are installed on separate computers. For example, a portal server on Linux does not support a warehouse database using Microsoft SQL Server.
- If you are upgrading from IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.1, you have performed the necessary agent warehouse database upgrade steps.
The following sections discuss these assumptions in more detail.
- Preliminary planning is complete
The information in the next four chapters assume that your preliminary planning is complete.
- Environment assumptions
The information in the current chapter and the next four chapters assume an environment with more than one computer.
- The data warehouse is remote from the portal server
The procedures described in the next four chapters are based on the assumption that you will install the Tivoli Data Warehouse database remotely from the portal server.
- Agent warehouse database upgrade
Some of the monitoring agents have made changes to the warehouse tables that require performing upgrade procedures from IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.1 before running the V6.3 Warehouse Proxy and Summarization and Pruning Agents.
