Deploying TM1 Admin Server and TM1 Server

You can install the IBM® TM1® Server and IBM TM1 Admin Server components on a separate computer in your hardware environment.

For each component you want to install on a different computer, run the installation program on that computer.

You can install the TM1 Admin Server on the same computer on which the TM1 Server is installed or another computer on your network.

When a TM1 Server is running, it registers itself on the specified Admin Server. TM1 clients then connect to this Admin Server to obtain information about TM1 servers available on a network.

If you distribute the server components throughout your network, you must know certain information about where your components will be installed, and the configuration of those components. The following list provides information about what you need to know to install each component.

This can be installed without any knowledge of your network topology.

Important Notes on Distributed Installations

TM1 services must run on computers set to the same locale. You cannot, for example, install some services on a computer running the US English locale, and other services on a computer running the German locale. Set the locale using the Standards and Formats option in Microsoft Windows Start Menu, Regional and Local Settings.
