Windows: Installing a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server

Use the following steps to install the automation server on a Windows computer.

A locally installed hub monitoring server is a prerequisite for the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server. An error message reports a discrepancy if you attempt to configure the automation server with a remote monitoring server. For a pristine installation, when you select Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server on the Select Features window, the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server check box is automatically selected. You must configure the automation server connection information before you can start it.

  1. Launch the installation wizard by double-clicking the setup.exe file in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Base DVD or DVD image.

  2. Click Next on the Welcome window.

  3. Select the I accept the terms in the license agreement radio button and click Next.

  4. Specify the directory where you want to install the software and accompanying files. The default location is C:\IBM\ITM. Click Next.

  5. Type an encryption key to use. The key required is the same as that used for the installation of the hub monitoring server. Click Next and then OK to confirm the encryption key.

  6. On the Select Features window, select Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server from the list of components to install.

    If a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is not already installed the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is selected by default when you select Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server. The check boxes in the subtree under Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server for installing application support files for monitoring agents are not selected by default. Select the monitoring agent application support files that you want to install to the monitoring server. For detailed information about application support, see Install and enable application support.

  7. Click Next to display the Agent Deployment window.

  8. Select the agents, if any, that you want to add to the agent depot. (You can add agents to the agent depot at a later time by updating your installation.) Click Next.

    If you already have a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server installed, proceed to step 11.

  9. If no Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is installed on this computer, a window is displayed for you to select a program folder. Click Next to accept the default program folder name. To use a different program folder name, type the program folder name and click Next.

  10. In the TEPS Desktop and Browser Signon ID and Password window, specify the user ID and password to be used for logging on to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal and click Next.

  11. Review the installation summary details. The summary identifies the components you are installing. Click Next to begin the installation.

    After the components are installed, a configuration window (called the Setup Type window) is displayed.

  12. Select the check box for Configure Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. Clear the check boxes for any components that are already installed and configured (at the current release level) on this computer, unless you want to modify the configuration. Click Next to display the Hub TEMS Configuration window.

  13. Select Hub as the type of monitoring server you are configuring and click OK to continue.

    Press the Help button for additional information about the configuration parameters of the monitoring server.

  14. You are asked if you want to configure the automation server. Click Yes to display the Configure Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server window.

  15. Complete your Registry Services configuration details and automation server connection details.

    1. When you select Configure Registry Services connection, specify the correct Protocol, Hostname, and Port number for the WebSphere Application server where Registry Services is installed.

      The following criteria apply to the User and Password fields:

      • Providing both a user ID and a password is accepted.

      • Leaving both the user ID and a password fields blank is accepted.

      • Providing one parameter without the other is not accepted.

      When the OSLC Performance Monitoring service provider is configured for a Hub monitoring server that is enabled for Hot Standby, a value must be configured for the Acting Hub Alias. The acting hub alias must match the acting hub alias configured for the OSLC Performance Monitoring service provider associated with the other Hub monitoring server in the Hot Standby environment. The acting hub alias is used to create a single service provider entry in Registry Services for the Hot Standby environment and each Hot Standby environment must have a unique alias value.

      The acting hub alias cannot exceed 128 characters. Valid characters are alphanumerics, -, _ , and period.

    2. In the Automation Server connection information section, provide the HTTP or HTTPS protocol and Port number for clients to connect to the automation server.

    Click OK to continue.

  16. Click OK on the Hub TEMS Configuration window.

  17. Click Finish to complete the installation.

  18. Click Finish on the Maintenance Complete window if you are updating an existing installation.


Results

The Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services utility is opened. (This might take a few minutes.)

During pristine installation of the automation server, after it is successfully configured, it is automatically started along with other IBM Tivoli Monitoring components. If the hub monitoring server is unconfigured, or is switched from hub to remote, the automation server is automatically stopped and unconfigured.


What to do next

When the automation server is started, the Performance Monitoring service provider registers itself with Registry Services and starts registering resources for managed systems when they come online and the agent has an OSLC agent template.

To configure the Performance Monitoring service provider to use the Security Services component of Jazz for Service Management to authenticate OSLC client applications, set the KAS_SECURITY_SERVICES_ENABLED environment variable to Yes in the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server's environment file and restart the monitoring automation server.

After you install application support for agents that have an OSLC template, restart the automation server. You must restart the automation server if the application support is manually installed or is installed using the self-describing agent feature. After performing these steps, IBM Tivoli Monitoring is ready to integrate with other products using OSLC linked data interfaces.
