If your monitoring environment includes multiple monitoring
servers (a hub monitoring server and remote monitoring servers), you
can put your agent depot in a central location, such as a shared file
system, and access the depot from all of the monitoring servers.
After populating your agent depot with either of the methods described
in
Populating your agent depot, use the following
steps to share the agent depot:
- Open the KBBENV monitoring server configuration file located in
the itm_installdir\CMS directory on Windows and the itm_installdir/tables/tems_name directory
on Linux and UNIX.
- Locate the DEPOTHOME variable. By default, the agent depot is
located in the itm_installdir/CMS/depot
directory on Windows and itm_installdir/tables/tems_name/depot
directory on UNIX.
- Type the path to the shared agent depot for the DEPOTHOME variable.
- Save and close the file.
- On UNIX or Linux only, add the same variable and location
to the kbbenv.ini file located in itm_installdir/config/kbbenv.ini.
If
you do not add the variable to the kbbenv.ini file,
it will be deleted from the KBBENV file the next time the monitoring
server is reconfigured.
If you are using a Windows monitoring
server connecting to a depot on another Windows computer, you must set the service
ID for the Windows monitoring
server to "Administrator." Also, instead of specifying a mapped drive
letter for the path to the depot directory, use the UNC path (such
as \\server\share).
Use the following steps to change the service ID:
- From the Control Panel, double-click Administrative
Tools.
- Double-click Services.
- Right-click Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Svcs and
click Properties.
- On the Log On tab, select This
Account.
- Type Administrator in the This Account field.
- Type the password for the administrator in the Password field.
Confirm the password by typing it again in the Confirm
password field.
- Click Enable.
If the Administrator user
does not have Logon as a service right, you are prompted to add it.
