Re: ITM TSM Agent

Sounds very close to where I grew up during the summers….I know the St. Johns River between Lake George and Woodruff like the back of my hand…namely, Astor Florida….smack in the middle of the Ocala National Forest.  My favorite place on earth.

You've got me curious now, though, so I may try to look at the TSM stuff next week while I'm on vacation. I'll be in the Middle of Nowhere, Florida, where there is literally nothing to do except sit in a rocking chair staring out the window, so I might as well work on Tivoli stuff :)

The latest build out there that I (or IBM) could find contains an all-inclusive ITM install bundled by the horendous monstrocity of fail that is the "Deployment Engine".  You can't install support on an existing TEMS or TEPS, and you can not remote deploy or upgrade agent bundles.  Your only option is to install the agents locally, and install a fresh TEMS and or TEPS from the Monitoring for TSM media.

I performed the installation as a non-root user, and had no problems that I can recall (there are no problems mentioned in my build notes). The agent installation was performed using the silent method, as were the TEMS and TEPS support installations.

From what I've read and what I've tried, the only way seems to be creating a TSM Reporting and Monitoring server.  I'm just trying to take that TSM Reporting and Monitoring Agent and add application support to my existing ITM infrastructure.
