Use the itmcmd support command to add agent-specific information to the monitoring server.

You need to run this command once during the initial installation of the monitoring server to add data for the components installed from the same installation CD. Whenever you add a new monitoring agent type to your monitoring environment, run the itmcmd support command again on the monitoring server to add the new agent information to the monitoring server.

1. Before you can run the itmcmd support command, you must start the monitoring server. See itmcmd server for details.
2. Add application support only for agent components, not for other installed components such as the portal desktop client.
3. After you add the application support to the monitoring server, stop it and restart it.
4. If you are installing a backup monitoring server, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide for information about adding application support.

where:

-t tems_name

Identifies the monitoring server. This parameter is required.

pc ...

One or more product codes for the components for which you want to add application support. To display the product codes for agents installed on this computer, run the cinfo command. See cinfo for more information.

-h install_dir

(Optional) Identifies the installation directory if it is not the one in which the script is located.

Also use this option to take action on an IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory other than the one in the current system.

-m

Copies application support files to a backup monitoring server without adding them. Use this option only when you are configuring a backup monitoring server.

The following example adds application support to the hub_ms1 monitoring server for the agents installed from the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation CD:

   itmcmd support -t hub_ms1 a4 lz nt sy tm ul um ux

An exit status of 0 indicates that the command ran successfully. An exit status greater than 0 indicates that there was a failure in the process.
