The IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent for Netcool/Omnibus 8.1  is located in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent for Netcool/Omnibus 8.1 eAssembly ( CRS7KML ) bundle. We used SLES 11 SP3 as our installation platform.

Installing the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent for Netcool/Omnibus 8.1 agent support on the ITM server(s).

First install the product support for TEPS, TEMS. We have a one box test system running ITM 6.3.0.4 so we will only have to perform the product support installation in this one server. We will install the following packages:

Tivoli Enterprise Portal Browser Client support
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop Client support
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server support
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server support

Start the installation by executing install.sh from the installation media.

HUITM001-P1:/Downloads/TIVOLI-IMAGES/OMNIBUS8-PACK/agent # ./install.sh

1) ALL – This option adds the default managed system groups to all the applicable situations. Note that not all situations have the default managed group setting. For some, you might need to manually define the distribution in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal due to the specific content of the agent support package.
2) NONE – The default managed system group is not added to any situation.

Reconfigure teps to complete the product support installation. Start the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring services console on the ITM server using the $CANDLEDIR/bin/itmcmd manage & command then right click Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and select Configure from the drop down menu.

TEPS will have to be stopped during configuration.Click OK at the next popup window.

Click Save at the next window. Basically you do not want to change any parameters here, only want to reconfiguration to run and detect and include the new product support jar files. This procedure could take quite a while, so be patient.

Once the configuration is done, click Yes to start the TEPS server.
