A quick note - I have been told that TSM 6.3.3 - which
will be published shortly, does have a supported procedure to install into
an existing ITM environment.

I don't have my detailed notes handy, nor do I have the
original multi-GB download file, but here's some info:



I believe I used the following package for my sk monitoring agents:

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.2.0 Linux x86 Reporting & Monitoring,
English(CZE97EN)



I don't have the full package handy, so I can't tell you the full path
within the tar file, but somewhere in there is the ITM agent directory.
Within that directory is a 'FILES' directory, which should be one level
below the directory containing the TSM_Agent.xml file.   The 'FILES'
directory is what you need. If you extract it, you'll find the usual install.sh
script, sample silent install files, 'Deploy' directory, etc.That is what
I used for my silent installs of the agent and support files, using the
normal install.sh command.



YMMV, but that's how it worked for me in 2010. And no, I don't think it's
documented anywhere. I just tried it one day and it worked.

Loren,

 

That's exactly what I'm looking for the sk agent package without the DE.
 If you guys find it, please send me the part number.  I would
greatly appreciate it.

Loren,



When you do your rebuild, let me know if you find an sk
agent package that will allow you to install only support files and the
agent.  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.



If you find a normal ITM style package for TSM, I would
love to tell IBM where it is.





Thanks

Back in 2010, I installed the 6.2 version of the 'sk'
agent on a number of Linux RHEL 5.2 32-bit systems. 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.




In my case, all my TSM servers live in HA clusters, so I install the sk
agents on the hub TEMS servers and point them at the TSM service IP addresses.



In the past, I have gone down more or less the same road Jay did, writing
custom UA's, and before that, custom ITM5 resource models, for TSM monitoring.
For me at least, the sk agent worked well enough that I didn't need to
do that this time.



I will be rebuilding all my Tivoli infrastructure from scratch after the
first of the year, so I'm sure I will be revisiting the issue then...

I have done it a number of times, but not in the last
couple of years. I do not recall it being very difficult, once you locate
the agent installation directories within the larger package. I am out
of the office at the moment, but can lok into it more when I get home tonight.

Hello All,

 

Is there a hack out there for someone trying to install the TSM Reporting
and Monitoring Agent into an already existing ITM infrastructure?  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.

 

I've installed that agent on a TSM server and it starts and runs fine and
even connects to the existing ITM infrastructure.  However, when I
try to add support, nothing happens.
