You can specify what self-describing enabled products and
versions are allowed to be installed on your monitoring server and
portal server by the automatic self-describing agent process while
your hub monitoring server is running.
About this task
The hub monitoring server must be started. The following
configuration commands can be issued regardless of whether your self-describing
capability is enabled or disabled (
KMS_SDA=Y|N).
The configuration settings you specify are stored and then implemented
once self-describing is turned on with variable
KMS_SDA=Y.
For more information, see
"Dynamically controlling the hub monitoring server
self-describing agent capability" in
the
IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation
and Setup Guide.
Procedure
- Suspend the self-describing capability (without recycling
the hub monitoring server) by using the tacmd suspendSda command. This command ensures that no self-describing installations take
place while you are updating the options.
- Run one of the following commands:
- tacmd addSdaInstallOptions
- Specify the products and versions that can be installed by the
self-describing agent facility.
- tacmd editSdaInstallOptions
- Modify an existing product version configuration, or change the
default self-describing agent installation behavior.
- tacmd deleteSdaInstallOptions
- Remove a specific version configuration, or remove all versions
for a product.
- tacmd listSdaInstallOptions
- Display the existing self-describing agent installation configurations
from the hub monitoring server.
See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference for
syntax and examples.
- Resume the self-describing capability (without recycling
the hub monitoring server) by using the tacmd resumeSda command.
Results
Your installations take place only on the new products of
versions you specified once self-description is enabled by setting
the variable
KMS_SDA=Y.
