You can perform prerequisite scanning for agents before
carrying out an installation.
The two mechanisms available are a manually executed stand-alone
Prerequisite Scanner and a remote prerequisite scanner facility that
extends the capabilities of IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring's remote deployment
component.
Note: - Only the operating system (OS) agents are enabled with prerequisite
checking. If you attempt to run remote prerequisite scanning with
an application agent, the operation fails because the application
agent does not provide a Prerequisite Scanner.
- On Windows platforms,
the prerequisite scanner requires the Microsoft .Net Framework v2.0 to be installed.
