IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Update the rules files of the EIF probe

Perform the steps in this section to update the rules files of the EIF probe.

The tasks in this section should be completed by the Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator.

  1. Uncomment the include statement for itm_event.rules in the tivoli_eif.rules file in the probe's operating system directory: 

      %OMNIHOME%\probes\arch (Windows)

    or 

      $OMNIHOME/probes/arch (UNIX)

    where:

    OMNIHOME

    Is a system-defined variable defining the installation location of OMNIbus.

    arch

    Represents the operating system directory on which the probe is installed; for example, solaris2 when running on a Solaris system, and win32 for a Windows system.

    If the probe's version of the tivoli_eif.rules does not contain a statement to include the itm_event.rules file, you must upgrade to version 10 or later of the EIF Probe.

  2. Copy the itm_event.rules file in the omnibus directory where the event synchronization component is installed, to this directory on the machine where the EIF probe is installed: 

      %OMNIHOME%\probes\arch (Windows)

    or 

      $OMNIHOME/probes/arch (UNIX)

    where:

    OMNIHOME

    Is a system-defined variable defining the installation location of OMNIbus.

    arch

    Represents the operating system directory on which the probe is installed; for example, solaris2 when running on a Solaris system, and win32 for a Windows system.

  3. If you are integrating Tivoli Business Service Manager as well, uncomment the line in itm_event.rules with the include statement for tbsm_eif_event.rules, and copy the tbsm_eif_events.rules from the omnibus/tbsm directory to this directory on the machine where the EIF probe is installed: 

      %OMNIHOME%\probes\arch (Windows)

    or 

      $OMNIHOME/probes/arch (UNIX)

    where:

    OMNIHOME

    Is a system-defined variable defining the installation location of OMNIbus.

    arch

    Represents the operating system directory on which the probe is installed; for example, solaris2 when running on a Solaris system, and win32 for a Windows system.

  4. If rules customizations are done in itm_custom_override.rules, uncomment the line in itm_event.rules with the include statement for itm_custom_override.rules. Copy the itm_custom_override.rules file with the customizations to this directory on the machine where the EIF probe is installed: 

      %OMNIHOME%\probes\arch (Windows)

    or 

      $OMNIHOME/probes/arch (UNIX)

    where:

    OMNIHOME

    Is a system-defined variable defining the installation location of OMNIbus.

    arch

    Represents the operating system directory on which the probe is installed; for example, solaris2 when running on a Solaris system, and win32 for a Windows system.

  5. Stop the EIF probe.

    • In the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, then Services. In the list of services, double-click the EIF probe and then click Stop.

    • Issue the following command: 

        $OMNIHOME/bin/nco_pa_stop -process probe_name

      where:

      $OMNIHOME

      Is the system-defined variable defining the installation location of OMNIbus.

      probe_name

      Is the OMNIbus EIF probe name defined for Process Control.

  6. Restart the OMNIbus probe.

    • In the list of services, double-click OMNIbus EIF Probe and then click Start.

    • Issue the following command: 

        $OMNIHOME/bin/nco_pa_start -process probe_name
