Remote prerequisite scanning

You must meet the following requirements in your IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring infrastructure to make use of this feature:

• The command-line component known as KUE (User Interface Extensions) must be at V6.2.3 or higher. Use this component to import the agent-specific Prerequisite Scanners. The KUE component also contains the new tacmd checkprereq command to run the remote prerequisite scanning. You can use the cinfo -i command on Linux and UNIX systems or the kincinfo -i command on Windows systems to verify the installed level of KUE.
• The hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server must be at V6.2.3 or higher.
• For improved performance and parallelization, the tacmd checkprereq command uses the SERVER property, similar to tacmd createnode, to route the processing from the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server to connect to the remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. However, this routing occurs only if the supplied remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is at V6.2.3 or higher. If the supplied remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is at a version lower than V6.2.3, the remote prerequisite scanning is performed by the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.
