Step 6: Install the distributed components
You must install the distributed components when your hub monitoring server is on a distributed system or when you do not have self-describing agent capability configured.
You need to complete this step under one of the following circumstances:
- Your hub monitoring server is on a distributed system.
- You do not have the self-describing agent (SDA) capability configured regardless of the platform where the hub monitoring server, remote monitoring server, or monitoring agents will be deployed. Review the upgrade documentation to determine whether the level of product you are installing supports the self-describing agent capability. To active the SDA capability on a monitoring suite level, use tacmd editSdaInstallOptions or SPUFIL.
Add application support (predefined workspaces and situations, online help, expert advice, and OMEGAMON® data for Tivoli® Monitoring) from the appropriate application support media described in Step 2.
If you are installing IBM Z® OMEGAMON AI for Db2, you can also install product-specific distributed components, such as IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Db2 Agent for Db2 Connect Monitoring.
