Configuring the monitoring agent after installation

In addition to the installation and configuration information in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide, use the information in this section to install and configure the IBM Tivoli Advanced Allocation Management for z/OS Agent.

No special setup is necessary to manage this application.

Configuration values

For both local and remote configuration, provide the configuration values for the agent to operate. When configuring an agent, a panel is displayed so you can enter each value. When there is a default value, this value is pre-entered into the field. If a field represents a password, two entry fields are displayed. You must enter the same value in each field. The values you type are not displayed to help maintain the security of these values.

Remote installation and configuration

When installing the agent remotely, you must provide the configuration values for the agent to operate. See “Configuration values.”

See the tacmd describeSystemType section in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference for information on displaying the configuration options that are available to use with the configureSystem or addSystem commands.

You can install the monitoring agent remotely from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or from the command line. To install from the portal, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide

If using the command line, the following command is an example of remote configuration for Windows operating systems:

tacmd addSystem -t RJ -n Primary:sample.node.name:NT -p
