Configuring the monitoring agent

Use the following steps to configure your monitoring agent.

1. Run the following command:

   ./itmcmd config -A pc

   where pc is the product code for your agent. For the UNIX agent, use the product code "ux"; for Linux, use "lz". See IBM Tivoli product, platform, and component codes for a list of agent product codes.
2. Press Enter when you are asked if the agent connects to a monitoring server.
3. Type the host name for the monitoring server.
4. Type the protocol that you want to use to communicate with the monitoring server. You have seven choices: ip, ip.pipe, ip.spipe, ip6, ip6.pipe, ip6.spipe, or sna. Press Enter to accept the default protocol (IP.PIPE).
5. If you want to set up a backup protocol, enter that protocol and press Enter. If you do not want to use backup protocol, press Enter without specifying a protocol.
6. Depending on the type of protocol you specified, provide the following information when prompted:
