Planning

Before you install InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager, consider your requirements and be sure you understand the solutions and best practices that are available. Such planning facilitates performance, the best use of your resources, and helps you avoid potential problems.

  • Planning the installation of InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager: This topic is the starting point for planning the installation of InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager.

  • InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager system requirements: This website provides links to the hardware and software requirements for InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager.

  • Extended Insight system requirements: This website provides links to the hardware and software requirements for the InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager Extended Insight client software.

  • "IBM InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows:" This IBM Redbooks® publication describes the architecture and components of InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager Extended Edition. It also contains important information for planning the deployment of InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager and detailed steps for successful installation, activation, and configuration of InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager and the Extended Insight client. Written for Version 4.1 of Optim Performance Manager, the content is still relevant if you are using Version 5.1 to monitor a DB2® 9.5 or 9.1 database.

  • "Best practices: Deploying InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager in large-scale environments:" In this whitepaper, learn about best practices for deploying InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager Extended Edition in large-scale environments. This white-paper was written for Version 4.1 of Optim Performance Manager, but the content is still relevant if you are using Version 5.1 to monitor a DB2 9.5 or 9.1 database. If you are planning to use InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager 5.1 to monitor a DB2 9.7 or later database, contact your technical support team and ask for a sizing.
