d. Confirm the password for the DB2 administrator ID by typing it again.

Press Enter.

e. Type the name of the portal server database. The default is TEPS. Press

Enter.

f. Type the login name of the database user that the portal server will use to

access the database. The default is

itmuser. Press Enter.

g. Type the password for the database user and press Enter.

h. Confirm the password for the database user by typing it again. Press

Enter.

i. You are asked if it is okay to create the DB2 login user if it does not exist.

Type 1 and press Enter.

8. You are asked if you are using DB2 or Oracle for the Tivoli Data Warehouse.

Enter D for DB2, J for Oracle JDBC™. DB2 is the default.

9. Since we are configuring the connection between the portal server and a DB2

warehouse database later, we do the following to finalize our installation:

a. Press Enter to accept the DB2 default (even if you are going to create the

Tivoli Data Warehouse using Oracle).

b. Press Enter at all remaining prompts to accept the defaults.

You will see a message telling you that InstallPresentation is running, and then a

message telling you that the installation has completed.

Starting the portal server

From the bin directory of /opt/IBM/ITM (or where you installed IBM Tivoli

Monitoring V6.2), run the following command to start the portal server:

./itmcmd agent start cq

3.2.4 Installing the monitoring agents

This section describes how to install distributed monitoring agents. A distributed

monitoring agent is one that is installed on a distributed (not z/OS) operating

system. We also show an example of agent remote deployment.

102 Deployment Guide Series: IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.2

To install a distributed monitoring agent, use the appropriate installation media:

򐂰 Use the IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.2 base product CDs to install the monitoring

agents in the following list. These are the same product CDs that you use to

install the monitoring servers, portal server, and portal desktop clients. The

monitoring agents included on these CDs are called base monitoring agents:

– ITM 5.x Endpoint

–Linux OS

– UNIX Logs

– UNIX OS

– Universal Agent

– Warehouse Proxy

– Warehouse Summarization and Pruning

–Windows OS

There are several IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.2 base product CDs, organized

according to operating system. To install a monitoring agent, use the product

CD appropriate to the operating system. For example, install a Linux OS

monitoring agent from the IBM Tivoli Monitoring base CD for Linux.

򐂰 Use the agent product CDs to install distributed monitoring agents that are

delivered separately from the IBM Tivoli Monitoring base installation package.

For example, use the IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Databases product CDs to

install a monitoring agent for DB2 or Oracle. Depending on the agent that you

are installing, there might be additional configuration steps required. See the

agent documentation for more information.

All monitoring agents require that agent-specific application support be installed

on the monitoring servers, portal server, and portal desktop clients.

The following sections provide instructions for installing a monitoring agent:

򐂰 “Installing a monitoring agent on a Windows server” on page 102

򐂰 “Installing a monitoring agent on Linux or UNIX server” on page 108

Installing a monitoring agent on a Windows server

Use the following steps to install a distributed monitoring agent on a Windows

computer:

1. Launch the installation wizard by double-clicking the setup.exe file in the

\WINDOWS subdirectory on the installation media. Use either an IBM Tivoli

Monitoring V6.2 base product CD for Windows or a distributed agent product

CD for Windows.
