IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Configure self-describing agent seeding
Two types of installation scenarios are available: a pristine installation and an upgrade installation.
A product installation is considered a pristine installation if you have no existing monitoring configuration definitions, specifically situation definitions already configured in the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server for that product. A product installation is considered an upgrade installation if you have configured monitoring definitions, specifically situation definitions configured for the self-describing agent of the installed product.
For both the pristine installation and upgrade installation, use the tacmd editSdaOptions command to configure how the self-describing agent feature seeds product definitions.
- Configure seeding for a pristine installation
Configure one of the following values to define how distribution definitions are applied during the pristine installation of the specified product.
- Configure seeding for an upgrade installation
Configure one of the following values to define how distribution definitions are applied during the upgrade installation of the product identified.
