Installing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP)

IBM® Tivoli® System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) is supported on AIX® and Linux®. SA MP is integrated with IBM Db2® server on AIX and Linux.

Before you begin

Whether you are using the Db2 installer, installSAM, or uninstallSAM, you must meet the basic prerequisites for installing, upgrading, or uninstalling SA MP. See Installing and upgrading SA MP with the Db2 installer.

If a IBM PowerHA® SystemMirror® for AIX cluster is running, you cannot perform a SA MP installation or upgrade because SA MP bundles Reliable Scalable Cluster Technology (RSCT) filesets that are dependent on PowerHA SystemMirror. To skip the SA MP installation use the db2_install command or the installFixPack command. For information about installing or upgrading SA MP using a PowerHA SystemMirror cluster, see the white paper entitled Upgrade guide for Db2 Servers in HACMP Environments, which is available from the IBM Support and downloads website (http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21045033).

Procedure

There are two methods for installing or upgrading SA MP:

What to do next

Look in the SA MP installation log for diagnostic information about any warnings or errors that the Db2 installer or the installSAM installation script returned.
