1.0 General description
=======================
This fix resolves the APARs and defects listed in the "Problems Fixed"
section below. This fix also includes the superseded fixes listed in
section 2.4.


2.0 Problems fixed
==================
The following problems are addressed by this fix.

2.1 APARs
---------
APAR: IZ74138
Abstract: WATCHDOG DOES NOT START IF ANOTHER ONE RUNNING ON SAME SYSTEM.
Additional Information: This occurs when a Solaris Zones system is defined
where a Local Zone has the same CANDLEHOME name as the Global Zone
(but different DASD). When the OS Agent in the Local Zone is
started before the OS Agent is started in the Global Zone, then
the watchdog process (kcawd) is not started for the the Global Zone.
This results in a Process ID of 0 being displayed on the on the Agent
Management Services workspace for the Proxy Agent Services Watchdog
process.

The same symptom occurs if more than one OS Agent is running on a
system in different CANDLEHOMEs. Once the kcawd is started in the
first CANDLEHOME on the system, the kcawd from all the other
CANDLEHOMEs do not start.

APAR: IZ74140
Abstract: INSTANCE NAME IS WRONG IN WATCHDOG WORKSPACE
Additional Information: In the Agent Management Services workspace, an extra
instance appears for an agent with an incorrect name.

APAR: IZ74143
Abstract: WATCHDOG CAN SEND SIGNAL TO INCORRECT PROCESS ID
Additional Information: The disarmWatchdog.sh sends a USR1 signal to the OS
Agent to signal watchdog monitoring is to stop. The script calls
the "cinfo -r" utility to determine if the OS Agent is running.
The results can return process IDs that are no longer running,
which can result in the script sending a USR1 signal to an
incorrect process id.

2.2 Defects
-----------
APAR: 119211
Abstract: Watchdog shows Process ID 0 after itmpatch of OS Agent
Additional Information: After installing an Interim Fix for the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS Agent or IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent
for Linux OS Agent, the watchdog process is started with an extra
slash in the path name. This results in a Process ID of 0 being
displayed on the Agent Management Services workspace for the Proxy
Agent Services Watchdog process (kcawd).

2.3 Enhancements
----------------
None.

2.4 Superseded fixes
--------------------
6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0001
6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0002

2.5 APARS and defects included from superseded fixes
----------------------------------------------------
6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0001
---------------------------
APAR: IZ68560
Abstract: ITM AGENT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME IN ORDER TO COLLECT SOLARIS
ZONES INFORMATION
Additional Information: On Solaris the Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS
kuxagent process takes a very long time to collect physical
and virtual memory information about Local Zones from the
Global Zone.
It is possible to disable this new behavior setting the
following parameter in the ux.ini file to TRUE:
KUX_PRSTAT_OFF=TRUE

6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0002
---------------------------
APAR: IZ62255
Abstract: WRONG VALUE FOR THE STATUS ATTRIBUTE OF THE SOLARIS ZONE
ATTRIBUTE GROUP
Additional Information: The Status attribute of the Solaris Zone attribute
group shows a wrong status (e.g. it shows the status of "shutting
down" instead of the actual status of "running" reported by the OS
command "zoneadm -list -cv"). The problem is due to the fact that
Solaris has broken the backward compatibility for the zone_status_t
enum in the /usr/include/sys/zone.h header file in Solaris 10
Update 7: 139555-08 (sparc) and 139556-08 (x86).

APAR: IZ62782
Abstract: HUGE PROCESS ELAPSED TIME ON SOLARIS SYSTEMS WITH ITM UX UNIX OS
AGENT
Additional Information: On Solaris, the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent for UNIX
OS returns a huge value for the attribute ElapsedTime of the Proccess
attribute group for zombie processes. This value is equal to the
system time of the Solaris OS, with values of 14000+ days.

APAR: IZ6278
Abstract: STRANGE VALUES FOR PROCESSES TIME ATTRIBUTES ON SOLARIS
Additional Information: On Solaris, the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent for UNIX
OS returns strange timestamp values for some process attributes.
Soma example of values returned for CPU time are the following:
000d00:00:-0 or 1.09063E+15
This may also be reported as negative or invalid values for times for
process attributes in Tivoli Data Warehouse (TDW).

APAR: IZ63160
Abstract: THE ITM 6.2.1 TEP DOESN'T ALLOW USER TO CREATE SITUATIONS FOR
CPU UTILIZATION WITH VALUES GREATER THAN 100
Additional Information: It is not possible to create a situation with a value
"Process Cpu Utilization" (UNIXPS.CPU) greater than 100. If you try
to do it, TEP highlights the value in red as it considers it invalid.

APAR: IZ63849
Abstract: KUXAGENT ON AIX SHOWS HIGH CPU WHEN IOSTAT DOES NOT WORK AS
EXPECTED
Additional Information: The IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS kuxagent
process shows high cpu when the command /bin/iostat does not work as
expected, i.e., when iostat returns an error message or iostat is not
present on the machine. The UNIX OS Agent should handle this
particular case by simply stopping to collect metrics for the "Disk
Performance" attribute group and logging it.

APAR: IZ65193
Abstract: WRONG VALUE FOR THE "TOTAL VIRTUAL MEMORY" ATTRIBUTE OF THE
SYSTEM ATTRIBUTE GROUP ON AIX
Additional Information: On AIX the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS
reports wrong values for "Total Virtual Memory" attribute of the
System attribute group.

APAR: IZ66190
Abstract: HANG WITH 2 KUXAGENT PROCS WHEN RETRIEVING MAC ADDR ON SOLARIS
Additional Information: The IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS
hangs with two kuxagent processes when collecting network
interface metrics and in particular the MAC address on Solaris.

APAR: IZ66409
Abstract: HANG WITH 2 KUXAGENT PROCS WHEN RETRIEVING MAC ADDR ON AIX
Additional Information: The IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS
on AIX hangs when retrieving the MAC address attribute belonging
to the Network attribute group.

APAR: IZ64688
Abstract: FILE CONTENT CHANGE ATTRIBUTE DOES NOT WORK AFTER THE FIRST CHANGE
Additional Information: The "File Change" is not changing after the first
change is triggered hence any situation monitoring that attribute
will not work properly.

APAR: IZ68396
Abstract: KUXAGENT HIGH CPU UTILIZATION FOR THE PROCESS ATTRIBUTE
GROUP ON HP-UX
Additional Information: The Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS kuxagent
process on HP-UX spikes in CPU when handling requests for
the Process (UNIXPS) attribute group when interacting with
a third-party authentication software.

APAR: IZ68508
Abstract: LOG SIZE INCREASES ON HP-UX WITH AN OLD VERSION OF
PARSTATUS
Additional Information: Log file size increases constantly with an
old version of parstatus. In particular, the log file will
contain a huge number of the following stderr messages of
the parstatus command:
parstatus [-X]
parstatus [-A] [-M] -C|I
parstatus [-M] -B|P
parstatus [-M] -i I/Ochassis [-i...]
parstatus [-V|M] -c cell [-c...]
parstatus [-V|M] -b cabinet [-b...]
parstatus [-V|M] -p Partition Number [-p...]

Defect: 114561
Abstract: Wrong memory allocation for the username and groupname strings

Feature: 120683
Abstract: Added TCP Statistics attribute group for Unix and Linux OS Agents.
You can use TCP Statistics to monitor network traffic in the TCP protocol.
It contains the TCP data packets retransmitted per second attribute, that
measures the rate of failures in sending out TCP segments over the last
sampling interval. Sampling interval is 30 seconds by default, and it is
configurable by means of the KUX_TCPSTAT_SAMPLE_SECS variable. You can set
it in the ux.ini file with a minimum of 5 seconds.

applies to is included in its name.

5.0 Installation instructions
=============================
This fix can only be installed over an existing installation. Use
the following steps to install this fix.

5.1 Before installing the fix
-----------------------------
- The prerequisites listed under section 3.1 entitled 'Prerequisites
for this fix' must be installed before this fix can be installed.

- For the purpose of this README, the symbol <CANDLEHOME> is the
IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. The default value
for CANDLEHOME is '/opt/IBM/ITM' on UNIX systems and 'C:\IBM\ITM'
on Windows systems.

Before installing this fix on UNIX systems, set the environment
variable CANDLEHOME to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation
directory.

For example:
> CANDLEHOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
> export CANDLEHOME

5.2 Local agent update
----------------------
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
(e.g. 6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003.tar) to a temporary directory
on the system that contains the agent code to be updated.
For the purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP> represents
the fully qualified path to this directory.

2. Expand the archive file using the tar command. This creates a directory
structure that contains fixes for all of the supported platforms.

3. Use the itmpatch command to install the fix for that agent platform.
For more information on the itmpatch command, see section 6.2

For example:
On a UNIX system, if the fix was expanded to
<TEMP>/6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003, the install command would be:

> itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME>
-i <TEMP>/6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003/kux_xxxxxx_tema_if0003.tar

where:
- xxxxxx corresponds to the value in the first column returned
by the ./cinfo -i command.

In the following example, the file would be kux_aix523_tema_if0003.tar
> ./cinfo -i
ux Monitoring Agent for Unix OS
aix523 Version: 06.22.01.03


5.3 Remote agent update
------------------------
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
(e.g. 6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003.tar or .zip) to a temporary directory
on the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server system. For the
purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP> represents the fully
qualified path to this directory. Note: On Windows, this includes
the drive letter.

2. Expand the archive file using the tar command on UNIX systems or
an unzip utility on Windows systems. This creates a directory
structure that contains fixes for all of the supported platforms.

3. To add the agent fix bundles into the remote deploy depot, use
the tacmd addBundles command found in $CANDLEHOME/bin on UNIX
systems or in %CANDLE_HOME%\bin on Windows systems. For more
information on the tacmd addBundles command, see the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring Administrator's Guide.

For example:
On UNIX systems,
if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>/6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>/6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003

On a Windows system,
if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>/6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003
> %CANDLEHOME%\bin\tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>\6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003

where:
-n indicates that prerequisite bundles are not automatically
added. The -n parameter must be used because the fix
directory does not contain any prerequisites that the fix
might require. Please see Section 3.1 for the prerequisites
for this fix.
-i is the directory that contains the deployment bundles to be
added to the depot.

4. To login to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring server, and deploy
the fix to the appropriate nodes where the agent is running, use
the following tacmd commands. For more information on the tacmd
login and updateAgent commands, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
Administrator's Guide.

For example:
On UNIX systems:
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>

> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems

The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the
tacmd updateAgent command.

> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd updateAgent -t ux
-n <Managed System Name>
-v 062201003

On a Windows system:
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>

> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems

The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the
tacmd updateAgent command.

> %CANDLEHOME%/bin/tacmd updateAgent -t ux
-n <Managed System Name>
-v 062201003

Note:
- The component (-t) for the updateAgent command is specified as
two characters (ux), not three characters (kux).
- The node (-n) for the updateAgent command is the managed system
name of the operating system (OS) agent to be updated. The
target node for an updateAgent command is always an OS agent.

5.4 Agent support update
------------------------
Use the following steps to update the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal
Desktop.

1. Transfer the appropriate archive file (on UNIX systems
6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003.tar and on Windows systems
6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003.zip) to the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Servers, IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal Servers and Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Desktop.

2. Expand the archive file using the tar command on UNIX systems or
an unzip utility on Windows systems. This creates a directory
structure that contains fixes for all of the supported platforms.

3. Expand the archive file (e.g
6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003\kux_tems_teps_tepd_if0003.tar on UNIX
systems or 6.2.2.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0003\kux_tems_teps_tepd_if0003.zip
on Windows systems) that contains the updates for Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Tivoli
Enterprise Portal Desktop using the tar command on UNIX
systems or an unzip utility on Windows systems. This creates a
directory structure that includes a subdirectory called CD-ROM,
with the necessary updates.

4. Start the Application Support Installer GUI to install the fix.
The GUI can be started by using one of the following commands
from within the CD-ROM directory where setup.jar is located.

On UNIX systems:
> $CANDLEHOME/JRE/<platform>/bin/java -jar setup.jar

On a Windows system:
> <"C:\Program Files\IBM\Java142">\jre\bin\java -jar setup.jar

where <"C:\Program Files\IBM\Java142"> is the default drive
and location of IBM Java 1.4.2. The location of IBM Java 1.4.2
on your system might vary.

When prompted by the Application Support Installer for the
installable media directory, select the CD-ROM directory, not the
component directory. The installer can install updates for
multiple components at the same time.

5. The next panel presented by the Application Support Installer asks
for the selection of which three Tivoli Monitoring components you
would like to add application support to. For this fix the check
boxes should be as follows:

checked - Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server(TEMS)
checked - Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server(TEPS)
checked - Tivoli Enterprise Desktop Client(TEPD)

Continue through the remaining GUI panels selecting the Unix OS Agent
06.22.01.03 support to complete the installation.

6. If the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop or Tivoli Enterprise Portal
Browser was running when the update was installed, it must be
restarted.


6.0 Additional installation information
=======================================

6.1 Installation instructions for agent baroc file
--------------------------------------------------
There are no updates to the baroc files included in this fix or
any of the superceded fixes. No additional installation steps are
required.

6.2 Additional information on using itmpatch command
-----------------------------------------------------
The itmpatch command has the following syntax.

Usage: itmpatch -h <installation home> [OPTIONS]

itmpatch -h <installation home>
-i { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> }

itmpatch -h <installation home>
-t { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> }

where:
-h Specifies the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory
-i Specifies the path to the directory or patch file to be installed
-t Generates a report of the actions to be taken by the patch

For example, on UNIX systems:
<CANDLEHOME> points to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory
<TEMP> points to the temporary directory where the fix is located.

- To preview the fix installation, use the "-t" option:
> <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -t <TEMP>

- To install the fix, use the "-i" option:
> <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -i <TEMP>

where:
<CANDLEHOME> is the fully qualified IBM Tivoli Monitoring
installation directory. On Windows, this must include the drive
letter.
<TEMP> represents the fully qualified directory specification, where
the fix is located. On Windows, this must include the drive letter.

6.3 Verifying the update
-------------------------
1. To verify the agent was updated correctly, use the tacmd command
to view the agent's current version after the agent is restarted.
You are required to login to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server prior to viewing the agent version.

For example:
On UNIX systems, where $CANDLEHOME is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
installation directory. The default location is '/opt/IBM/ITM'.

> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems -t ux

On a Windows system, where %CANDLE_HOME% is the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring installation directory. The default location
is 'C:\ibm\itm'.

> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>

> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems -t ux

When the agent update is successful, the agent version should now
be:
06.22.01.03

Note:
- The component (-t) for the tacmd listSystems command is specified
as two characters UX, not three characters KUX.

2. To verify the agent support files were updated correctly, use the
kincinfo command on Windows systems or the cinfo command on Linux
or UNIX systems. The sample output below shows the versions of
the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop systems after this
fix has been successfully applied.

Note:
- The date of the build displayed might not be accurate. This is a
known problem.


On UNIX or Linux systems:
-------------------------
To validate that all components have been installed, run the
following command:

./cinfo -i

This command offers you four options on the CINFO menu shown in
the example that follows. Choose the option that meets your needs.

following command kincinfo -i and check UNIX OS Support Version.


7.0 Known problems and workarounds
==================================
Abstract: Two kcawd processes displayed in Agent Management Services
workspace.
Problem: In the Agent Management Services workspace, the Watchdog
process (kcawd) is displayed twice, once with a correct
value for the Process ID and once with a Process ID of 0.
Workaround: Check the pas.dat file in the $CANDLEHOME/config/CAP
directory. If there are two entries for kcawd in the file,
then stop the OS Agent, delete the pas.dat file, and restart
the agent.

Installation Instructions

<p><b>Fix Central</b></p>

<p>Fix Central is a new way to acquire fixes. In the future it will be the only option for downloading fixes, but for now we are including it as an additional download option. The two main differences from the current download options will be the FTP option will be replaced by HTTP and that you will need to use an IBM registered ID. The reason for this, is we can use Fix Central to notify you if there is a problem with the fix. Privacy is maintained.</p>

<p>To download the files using Fix Central use the following link:
