Prerequisite Scanner for Tivoli Monitoring components
Use the Prerequisite Scanner to identify missing system prerequisites installing or upgrading.
If the prerequisite scan could not complete, a message is displayed to say an error was encountered. In interactive mode you are asked if you want to continue with the installation or not. In silent mode the installation is terminated.
After a successful prerequisite scan a summary report displays a line of text for each component, including the component name, the scan result, and the path to a detailed result file. The four possible scan results are as follows:
PASS The installation of this component should be successful and the component should start and run correctly. FAIL There is high possibility that the installation of this component may fail or that the component may not start or run correctly. NOT AVAILABLE Prerequisite scanning is not available for the component. It is not known if the installation will fail or not, or if the component will start or run correctly. On Windows, the component name is not displayed if prerequisite scanning is not available for the component. ERROR Prerequisite scanning could not complete for this component.
The Prerequisite Scanner might return an overall status of FAIL, even if all other components have a status of PASS or NOT AVAILABLE, because a cumulative scan of memory and disk space has failed. Prerequisite Scanner aggregates the memory and disk space requirements for all components. If this total exceeds the available memory or disk space on the system, an overall status of FAIL is returned.
The Prerequisite Scanner is enabled by default. The following sections provide detailed information about running the Prerequisite Scanner for Tivoli Monitoring components:
