Table 5. Valid properties for the System Service Monitor agents
Property name in key format defined for createNode, updateAgent, configureSystem, and removeSystem commands Property name in SECTION.KEY format required for createGroup, addGroupMember, and editGroupMember commands Description
SVCUSERNAME SSMCONFIG.
SVCUSERNAME
For Windows® systems, this property sets the username used to register the Netcool/SSM service. If you specify this switch, you must also specify the SvcUserPassword parameter. On host computers with Active Directory installed (Windows 2000 domain controllers) this parameter is ignored and the local system account is used instead. The default: local system account.
SVCPASSWORD SSMCONFIG.
SVCPASSWORD
For Windows systems, this property, sets the password used to register the Netcool/SSM service. If you specify this parameter, you must also specify the SvcUser switch. On host computers with Active Directory installed (Windows 2000 domain controllers) this parameter is ignored and the local system account is used instead.
SNMPPORT SSMCONFIG.
SNMPPORT
The UDP port on which Netcool/SM Configuration listens for incoming SNMP requests. This port must be a number in the range 1-65535 inclusive and must not be in use by any other application.
SNMPCOMMUNITY SSMCONFIG.
SNMPCOMMUNITY
The community string for SNMP v1 and v2.
OVERWRITE SSMCONFIG.
OVERWRITE
For Windows systems, this property specifies that the current Netcool/Service Monitor Configuration installation is retained in the new installation: Y - configuration not retained, N - configuration retained.
SERVER_GUI SSMCONFIG.
SERVER_GUI
For Windows systems, this property installs the Netcool/SSM agent GUI components on server computers. These components (the MIB Explorer, Service Controller, and Desktop Help) are usually only installed on desktop computers: Y - Netcool/SSM agent GUI components are installed on server computers, N - no Netcool/SSM agent GUI components are installed on server computers.
MS_SNMP_OVERRIDE SSMCONFIG.
MS_SNMP_
OVERRIDE
For Windows systems, if OverrideSNMP is specified, the installer stops the Microsoft® SNMP service, sets its startup mode to manual, installs the Netcool/Service Monitor Configuration service and registers the Netcool/Service Monitor Configuration service in automatic startup mode. If OverrideSNMP is not specified, the installer leaves the Microsoft SNMP service running and registers the Netcool/ Service Monitor Configuration service in manual startup mode.
DISABLE_SNMPV1 SSMCONFIG.
DISABLE_SNMPV1
Set to enable Netcool/SM Configuration to respond to SNMP v1 requests.
DISABLE_SNMPV2 SSMCONFIG.
DISABLE_SNMPV2
Set to enable Netcool/SM Configuration to respond to SNMP v2 requests.
V3User SSMCONFIG.V3User Sets the username used by Netcool/SM Configuration in SNMPv3 communication.
V3AUTHPROTOCOL SSMCONFIG.
V3AUTHPROTOCOL
Sets the method of authentication used for the SNMP v3 protocol. Valid values are: NONE - No authentication, SHA - Secure Hash Algorithm, and MD5 - MD5 message digest algorithm. If you select a value other than NONE, you must also specify a password.
V3AUTHPASSWORD SSMCONFIG.
V3AUTHPASSWORD
Sets the password used in SNMPv3 authentication. This password must be at least 8 characters in length and can contain spaces.
V3PRIVPROTOCOL SSMCONFIG.
V3PRIVPROTOCOL
Sets the method used for encrypting SNMP v3 protocol messages. Valid values are: NONE - no encryption used and DES - Data Encryption Standard algorithm. If you set this parameter to a value other than NONE, you must also specify a password.
V3PRIVPASSWORD SSMCONFIG.
V3PRIVPASSWORD
Sets the password used in SNMPv3 encryption. This password must be at least 8 characters in length and can contain spaces.
CORE_ONLY SSMCONFIG.
CORE_ONLY
For Windows systems, this property sets the selection of components installed to core agent files only.
MANUAL_SERVICE SSMCONFIG.
MANUAL_SERVICE
For Windows systems, this property registers Netcool/SSM service in manual mode and does not start it after installation.
CLUSTER_INST SSMCONFIG.
CLUSTER_INST
For Windows systems, this property selects the cluster-aware installation mode for installing Netcool/SSM on a Windows server cluster node.
CLUSTER_GROUP SSMCONFIG.
CLUSTER_GROUP
For Windows systems, this property specifies the name of the cluster group on which to install Netcool/SSM.
CORE_CONFIG_DISK SSMCONFIG.
CORE_CONFIG_DISK
For Windows systems, this property specifies the name of the physical disk resource on which to install Netcool/SSM core configuration files.
BYPASS_RECONFIG SSMCONFIG.
BYPASS_RECONFIG
For Windows systems, this property bypasses the installer configuration dialogs during an upgrade.
AGENTLOG SSMCONFIG.
AGENTLOG
For UNIX® systems, this property specifies the path and filename of the agent log file. The default: agent.log.
AGENTLOGSIZE SSMCONFIG.
AGENTLOGSIZE
For UNIX systems, this property specifies the maximum size of the agent log file (in bytes). The default: 1000000.
SNMPTRAPVER SSMCONFIG.
SNMPTRAPVER
For UNIX systems, this property specifies the format of notifications sent by the agent: 1- SNMP v1 Trap or 2 - SNMPv2 Trap. The default: 1.
CONFIGDIR SSMCONFIG.
CONFIGDIR
For UNIX systems, this property sets the agent configuration directory. The default: /opt/netcool/ssm/config.
COEXIST SSMCONFIG.
COEXIST
For UNIX systems, this property specifies whether any existing Netcool/SSM installation in any path other than that indicated by INST_PATH is removed during installation. If you want to install Netcool/SSM in the same directory as the existing installation, specify n. This option is intended for testing multiple installations on one computer. The default: y.
INST_CONSOLE SSMCONFIG.
INST_CONSOLE
For UNIX systems, this property selects whether the command console is installed: y - Command console installed and n - Command console not installed. The default: y.
SERVER SSMCONFIG.SERVER Specify the hostname of the Tivoli® Enterprise Management Systems to run the command. If the server name specified is a remote monitoring server, the request is routed to the remote monitoring server to run. However, if the remote monitoring server is currently not connected to the hub monitoring server, the request is run at the hub monitoring server. The "TEMS Name" field of the output from the tacmd getdeploystatus command shows the monitoring server that the command is running.
Note:
In order for all the standalone commands to work, you must provide the SECTION.KEY for the property to route the request to the remote monitoring server.
