IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Pristine installation


Procedure

  1. Determine which cluster node runs the resource group online using smit hacmp.

  2. On the active node, install the monitoring server into your chosen directory on the shared file system, as described in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Installation and Setup Guide.

  3. Install the monitoring server on host1 (the active cluster) into /sharedisk/IBM/ITM (the mounted file system of step1).

    Important : During installation, you are asked for the monitoring server name (HUB_VIRTUALHOST). Make note of the installation directory and the HUBNAME for further use.

  4. Specify the virtual host name of the cluster when configuring the Tivoli enterprise monitoring server host name.

  5. Configure the monitoring server using the following command:

    During the configuration when you are asked for the monitoring server host name, enter: 

      virtualhost

  6. You are prompted to determine if you want to specify the Primary Network Adapter. Type Y(es), and set it to virtualhost.

    The virtualhost sets the KDCB0_HOSTNAME variable in the KBBENV file of this monitoring server, which is needed for binding onto the virtual adapter. This sets the primary network adapter to the virtual host name of the cluster, which ensures that the agents and the portal server can later connect to the monitoring server on this IP address.

  7. Start up the monitoring server and add the application support for the desired agent types to the monitoring server. For ux, lz, and nt: 

      ./itmcmd server start HUB_VIRTUALHOST 
./itmcmd support -t HUB_VIRTUALHOST ux lz nt

    It is best to install the application support for all planned agents at the same time.

    If you also need database agents, use the database agent installation image to install the application support for them.

  8. Recycle the monitoring server with these commands: 

      ./itmcmd server stop HUB_VIRTUALHOST 
./itmcmd server start HUB_VIRTUALHOST
