Tivoli Management Framework Installation
IBM
Enterprise Installation guide is a very weak badly written book which obscures
things instead of making them clear.
There are two ways to install Tivoli management framework:
See also
Installing the Tivoli Management Framework
- Log in as root on the system that is to be the Tivoli server.
- If you are not on the console export display to your workstation. check
that the DISPLAY environment variable is set to display correctly by exporting
clock or some other X11 applet to the terminal
- Ensure that adequate disk space is available in each file system where the
files will be installed (refer to the Tivoli Management Framework Release
Notes for disk space requirements).
- Create a local temporary directory, for example
/tmp_install and make this directory
current.
- Create an installation directory (for example,
/opt/Install ) to contain the installation
utilities and associated files. In this example, you would enter the following
command. If you copied the content of CD into some directory you still
need to move into a different directory for the script to operate correctly.
- Change to the installation directory. For example
cd /opt/Install
- Untar CD1 tar file into a directory. for example
/opt/TMFMedia/Disk1
- Verify that the current directory in temporary install directory and run
the WPREINST.SH
script from directory with CD 1 content. This script creates links to
the files used during the installation process.
For example:
/opt/TMFMedia/Disk1/WPREINST.SH
Here is part of the content of the script
# All Rights Reserved
# Licensed Material - Property of TIVOLI Systems, Inc.
#
# Component Name: 2.0 Installation
#
# $Date: 1996/03/24 20:41:56 $
#
# $Revision: 1.8 $
#
# Primary Author: Francis Sullivan
#
# This script is a front end for making it possible to install the
# Tivoli Management Platform kind of directly off of the media.
# Execute this script from the directory where you want to shadow
# the media to:
# mkdir /shadow/dir
# cd /shadow/dir
# /path/to/cdrom/WPREINST.SH
# generated by wprepcd.pl
- Export display:
export DISPLAY=sandbox.rockaway.basf-corp.com:0
- While you are in your Install directory, run the command displayed
at the end of the preinstallation script output. For example, the following
command can be used is CDROM is mounted as /cdrom:
./wserver -c
/cdrom
- You will see the first of two windows on you X display.
In this window, do the following:
- In the Specify Directory Locations section, specify the
paths to the directories where the libraries, binaries, database, manual
pages, X Window System resource files, and message catalogs are to be installed,
or accept the defaults.
- Select "Create Specified Directories" and
Arrange for start of the Tivoli daemon at system (re)boot
time. Accept the default locations.
- Click Set.
- In the second Install Tivoli Server window accept default values,
except do not enter
information for the Installation Password.
In this window, do the following:
- Do not type anything in the License Key field.
This value is no longer used.
- Choose an encryption level, None,
Simple, or DES, from
the Encryption Level options (usually simple suffice). DES encryption provides
the highest level of security for network traffic. For a detailed explanation
of the encryption levels, refer to the section on security and encryption
levels in the Tivoli Management Framework Planning for Deployment
Guide.
- Type an installation password in the Installation Password
field, if desired. If you specify a password, this password must be used
to install managed nodes, to create interregion connections, and to perform
any installation using Tivoli Software Installation Service.
Note: During installation the specified password becomes the
installation and the region password. To change the installation password,
use the odadmin region set_install_pw command.
To change the region password, use the odadmin region
set_region_pw command. If you change one of these passwords,
the other password is not automatically changed.
- Type the name of the initial policy region in the
Region Name field. This policy region will appear on the Tivoli desktop
of the root administrator.
- The TMR Server Name field contains the host
name of the UNIX machine. To perform a remote installation, type the host
name of the remote machine. To perform a remote installation, you must have
the appropriate trusted host access. Add an entry for your local system
in the /.rhosts file of the remote system.
Note: The login shell of the user must be Bourne or Korn shell.
- If you want to display or change the installation options, click
Install Options.
- Click Install & Close to begin the installation
and close the Install Tivoli Server window when the installation is complete.
The installation process prompts you with a TME(R) Install window. It
provides the list of operations that take place during the installation
and warns you of any problems that you might want to correct before installing
this product.
Messages are displayed in the window indicating the status and completion of
the installation.
Tivoli desktop windows will be automatically launched; wait until the installation
completes before using it.
When the installation is complete, remove the installation directory that was
created in step
5. In this example, you would enter the following command:
rm -r /usr/local/Tivoli/install_dir
To install the Tivoli server on a UNIX operating system using the UNIX command
line, perform the following steps:
- ___ Log in as root on the system that is to be the Tivoli server.
- ___ Set the DOGUI environment variable to no, using
the following commands:
DOGUI=no
export DOGUI
- ___ Ensure that adequate disk space is available in each directory where
the files will be installed (refer to the Tivoli Management Framework
Release Notes for disk space requirements). Directories are specified
as options to the wserver command in step
8.
Note: Disk space requirements are checked by the Tivoli installation. If
the disk space is inadequate, messages are posted.
- ___ If required by your operating system, mount the Tivoli Management Framework
1 of 2 CD using the appropriate UNIX command. Refer to your operating system
documentation for instructions on how to mount devices and how to determine
the device name. In this example, the CD is mounted at /cdrom/cdrom0.
- ___ Create an installation directory (for example, /usr/local/Tivoli/install_dir)
to contain the installation utilities and associated files. In this example,
you would enter the following command:
mkdir /usr/local/Tivoli/install_dir
- ___ Change to the installation directory. In this example, you would enter
the following command:
cd /usr/local/Tivoli/install_dir
- ____ If the target directory exists (for example from previous unsuccessful
instillations) remove it before proceeding
- ____ Run the WPREINST.SH script from the
Tivoli Management Framework 1 of 2 CD. This script creates links to the files
used during the installation. Always use an absolute path. In this example,
you would enter the following command:
/opt/TMF_media/Disk1/WPREINST.SH
- ____ Begin the installation. The following example
installs the Tivoli server on the local machine with the following characteristics:
- /opt/TMFmedia/Disk1--The path to the CD-ROM image.
- /opt/TMF/bin--Where the binaries are installed.
- /opt/TMF/lib--Where the libraries are installed.
- /opt/TMF/db--Where the database is installed.
- /opt/TMF/man--Where the manual pages are installed.
- /opt/TMF/X11--Where the X Window System application
defaults are installed.
- /opt/TMF/cat--Where the message catalogs are installed.
- Test-Region--The name of the root policy region.
- AutoStart=1--The object dispatcher (the oserv service)
is started at system boot time.
- SetPort=1--The remote start capability of the oserv
is configured.
- CreatePath=1--Any specified directory that does
not exist will be created.
- IP=Tivoli4Ever--The installation password.
./wserver -c /cdrom/cdrom0 BIN=/opt/TMF/bin \
LIB=/opt/TMF/lib ALIDB=/opt/TMF/db \
MAN=/opt/TMF/man APPD=/opt/TMF/X11 CAT=/opt/TMF/cat \
RN=Test-Region AutoStart=1 \
SetPort=1 CreatePaths=1 IP=Tivoli4Ever
Note: If you need to reinstall the Tivoli server,
add an exclamation mark (!) at the end of the directory paths. (You can
also replace a path name with the exclamation mark.)
The exclamation
mark forces Tivoli to reinstall the directories if they already exist.
You must overwrite the database, or the reinstalled Tivoli server
will not work properly. The following command line reinstalls the Tivoli
server installed with the preceding command, overwriting each directory:
./wserver -c /cdrom/cdrom0 BIN=! LIB=! \
ALIDB=! MAN=! APPD=! CAT=! \
RN=NoonTide-Region AutoStart=1 SetPort=1 \
CreatePaths=1 IP=Tivoli4Ever
- The command displays a list of actions that will take place during the installation
and issues a confirmation prompt. To continue the installation process, type
y and press Enter.
Status information displays on your terminal as the installation proceeds.
- If your DISPLAY environment variable is set, the Tivoli desktop is displayed
partway through the installation process. Do not use it until the installation
is complete. If the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, you can start the
Tivoli desktop by performing the following steps:
- Set your DISPLAY environment variable.
- Initialize the Tivoli environment variables as described in
Setting Tivoli environment variables.
- Run the tivoli
command.
For additional information about the tivoli
command, refer to the Tivoli Management Framework Reference Manual.
- When the installation of the Tivoli server is complete, remove the installation
directory.
For additional information about the wserver command,
refer to the Tivoli Management Framework Reference Manual.
If necessary install (or launch from your sever) the Tivoli desktop, Version
4.1
- Source the Tivoli environment:
- Run the /etc/Tivoli/setup_env.sh
script.
- Start the bash shell by typing bash.
- Start the Tivoli desktop:
- Launch the Tivoli desktop with the
tivoli command.
- The Tivoli desktop is displayed.
Assuming aix5001 is the TMR server and that convention for naming endpoint
is hostname-ep
winstlcf -Y -d /opt/tivoli/lcf -L"-Dlcs.login_interfaces=aix5001
-Dbcast_disable=1 -Dlcs.machine_name=aix5001-ep" aix5001
Assuming the convention to name of gateways is hostname-gw
wcrtgate -h aix5001 -n aix5001-gw
- Download the latest fixpack.
- Extract the files to a temporary directory.
- From the Tivoli desktop, select Desktop -->
Install --> Install Patch.
The Install Patch window is displayed.
- If the Select Product to Install list contains
the correct patch, go to step
