IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Components to upgrade

You can determine what components to upgrade by using either of two methods.


Use the Enterprise level of the Managed Systems Status list to display the version of any connected agent, as well as its status (online/offline). Identifying an agent's status is especially important as you plan remote deployments. An alternative method, available at the Enterprise level of the Navigator, is to use the Tivoli Management Services Infrastructure view. This topology view visually expresses the relationships and linking of monitoring agents and other components to the hub monitoring server. Use hover-help (help flyovers) in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal topology view to determine the current version of your installed monitoring agents and other components.

  1. Access the Tivoli Enterprise Portal through the desktop client or the browser client:

    • Desktop client:

      1. In the Windows Start menu, select Programs → IBM Tivoli Monitoring → Tivoli Enterprise Portal. The login message is displayed.

      2. Type the name (sysadmin), and password of the account that you created during installation.

      3. Click OK.

    • Browser client:

      1. Start the browser.

      2. Type the following URL for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal into the Address field of the browser:

        http://systemname:15200/

        where the systemname is the host name of the computer where the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server is installed, and 15200 is the port number for the browser client. 15200 is the default port number for the browser client. Your portal server might have a different port number assigned.

      3. Click Yes in response to any security prompts.

      4. In the login prompt, type the user name and password of the sysadmin account that you created during installation.

      5. Click OK.

      6. Click Yes to accept Java Security certificates for this browser session.

  2. Click the Navigator, the view located by default in the upper-left corner of the portal. The first display that you see in the Navigator view is Enterprise Status workspace.

  3. Select the Enterprise node at the top of the navigation tree, if it is not already selected.

  4. Right-click the node and select Workspace → Self-Monitoring Topology to display the default topology view.

  5. Click on the TMS Infrastructure - Base view. This view contains the topology display.

  6. Click on the Maximize icon in the upper-right corner of the portal. The topology view occupies the entire display area of the workspace.
