IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Configure components with a response file

You can use the itmcmd config command with the -p filename parameter to configure IBM Tivoli Monitoring components silently.


The following sample configuration response files are provided with IBM Tivoli Monitoring:

Note that these sample configuration files are available only after the monitoring server has been installed in a UNIX or Linux system. The files are created in the itm_installdir/samples directory.

If an agent requires unique configuration parameters, configure the agent using the itmcmd config command or the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services utility.

Use the following steps to configure a component using the silent method:

  1. Edit the configuration file for the component that you want to configure.

  2. Complete the parameters identified in the file. Each file contains comments that define the available parameters and the values to specify.

  3. Save the file and exit.

  4. Run one of the following commands.

    To configure the monitoring server: 

      ./itmcmd config -S -p response_file -t ms_name

    To configure the portal server, desktop client, or an agent: 

      ./itmcmd config -A -p response_file pc

    where:

    response_file

    Is the name of the configuration response file. Specify an absolute path to this file.

    ms_name

    Is the name of the monitoring server that you want to configure.

    pc

    Is the product code for the component or agent that you want to configure. See IBM Tivoli product, platform, and component codes for the list of product codes.
