IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

Step 5: Install and configure communications for Tivoli Performance Analyzer

You can install Tivoli® Performance Analyzer to a server which also has other Tivoli Monitoring components installed, or you can install it to a separate machine.

The installation procedure is similar to that for monitoring agents. Complete the tasks described in the following table, in the order listed, to install and configure Tivoli Performance Analyzer.

Table 1. Tasks for installing and configuring communications for the Tivoli Performance Analyzer
Task Procedure

Install Tivoli Performance Analyzer.

The installation procedure for Windows includes steps for configuring the connection between the Tivoli Performance Analyzer and the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring server. On Linux or AIX®, this step is performed in a separate configuration procedure (Configuring the monitoring agent). See the information opposite. Be sure to perform all of the referenced installation and configuration procedures.
Note: for sites setting up autonomous operation, the installation procedure includes steps for configuring the connection between the agent and the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. On Windows operating systems, if you want to run Tivoli Performance Analyzer without a connection to the hub, accept the defaults for the connection information, but specify a non valid name for the monitoring server. On UNIX and Linux operating systems, select No TEMS on the TEMS Connection in the configuration window.
To install Tivoli Performance Analyzer on Windows, complete the procedure Windows: Installing a monitoring agent. To install Tivoli Performance Analyzer agent on Linux or AIX, complete the procedure Linux or UNIX: Installing a monitoring agent, including the following subsections:
  • Installing the monitoring agent
  • Configuring the monitoring agent
  • Changing the file permissions for agents
Do not complete the procedure for starting the agent.
Install a Microsoft SQL client and configure a remote client connection. See the Microsoft SQL Server documentation for instructions on how to install a Microsoft SQL client and configure a remote client connection.
On the computer where Tivoli Performance Analyzer is installed, configure an ODBC data source for the data warehouse. Configuring an ODBC data source for a Microsoft SQL data warehouse
Install the most current SQL Server JDBC driver on the computer where Tivoli Performance Analyzer is installed. Go to the Microsoft Web page at:

http://www.microsoft.com and search for JDBC driver.

Follow the instructions on the Microsoft download page for installing the driver. After you install the driver, the JAR file name and location are as follows:

<mssqlinstalldir>/sqljdbc_1.1/enu/sqljdbc4.jar

Configure Tivoli Performance Analyzer to connect to the data warehouse. For Tivoli Performance Analyzer on Windows, see Configuring Tivoli Performance Analyzer on Windows (ODBC connection). For a Tivoli Performance Analyzer on Linux or AIX, see Configuring Tivoli Performance Analyzer on Linux or UNIX (JDBC connection).
