Procedure

  1. Access the /opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/ncm/bin directory, and execute the stop server command as follows:
    /opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/ncm/bin/itncm.sh stop
  2. Log on to the platform as the user that installed Netcool Configuration Manager.
  3. Access the directory to which you downloaded the installer.
  4. Enter the following command: 
    sh ./driverversion.bin LAX_VM /opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/ncm/jre/bin/java -i gui

    where driverversion.bin is the name of the driver to be installed.

  6. Choose the installation directory, or accept the default, then click Next.
    The Pre-Installation Summary window is displayed.
  7. Review the installation details and click Install.
    The installation proceeds and when complete, the Install Complete window is displayed.
  8. Click Done to exit the installer.

What to do next

  • Netcool Configuration Manager must be restarted after the drivers have been installed. Execute the start server command:
    /opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/ncm/bin/itncm.sh start
  • To ensure that all servers in a distributed environment have the same drivers installed, it is useful to check the driver consistency on all servers. Navigate to the Systems Manager, and access Servers. Driver consistency is indicated by the Driver Checksum field against each server.
