IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Multiple network interface cards
When more than one network interface card (NIC) exists in the computer on which the monitoring server is installed, identify which NIC to use when specifying the monitoring server name and host name.
Additionally, the host name of the system might not match the interface name, even when only one NIC exists. In either of these cases, to establish connectivity between the monitoring server and agents, specify an additional variable when configuring the monitoring server or agents. This variable is listed under the option...
Optional Primary Network Name
...in the configuration windows or during the installation.
If the host of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server has more than one NIC, configure an additional interface for each one.
