Select 1 to
install software packages.
- When you are presented with the list of software packages,
select the option for the IBM Infrastructure
Management Dashboards for Servers package.
Note: - You can also select the Tivoli Authorization
Policy Server if you want to install it on the same system. If you
select the Tivoli Authorization
Policy Server package, see Installing and configuring the Tivoli Authorization Policy Server using console mode for
details when you are asked to provide information specific to this
package.
- You should not select the tivcmd Command Line Interface package
since it cannot be installed at the same time as the Authorization
Policy Server or infrastructure management dashboards by using console
mode.
- Select 1 to install the current
version of the software package. Option 2 displays
all available versions of the package.
- IBM Infrastructure
Management Dashboards for Servers is selected by default. Select N (Next)
to continue.
- Select the IBM Infrastructure
Management Dashboards for Servers features to install. By default,
both Installation and Configuration are selected. Select N (Next)
to continue.
Note: It is recommended to select the Infrastructure
Management Dashboards for Servers Installation and Configuration features
together (which is the default behavior). However, you cannot select
the infrastructure management dashboards Configuration feature if
you did not select the Configuration feature when IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub was installed.
You also should not select the Configuration feature if you want
to review the deployment scripts before they are used to deploy the
infrastructure management dashboards application into IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub. If you
select the Installation feature on its own, only the dashboard application
binaries and install scripts are laid down in the installation directory
(on Windows this location
is usually C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzSM\installedDashboards\com.ibm.tivoli.itmosd and
on Linux/UNIX this location is usually /opt/IBM/JazzSM/installedDashboards/com.ibm.tivoli.itmosd).
If you select the Configuration feature on its own, the Installation
feature is selected as well.
- Enter your WebSphere® administrator-level
user credentials (user name and password) to install the Infrastructure
Management Dashboards for Servers application into IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub. The
installer validates the entered credentials.
- When validation is completed select N (Next)
to continue.
- Review the installation summary window and select I to
proceed with the installation.
What to do next
If you selected the Installation and Configuration features
of the IBM Infrastructure Management
Dashboards for Servers, perform the following tasks:
- Restart IBM Dashboard Application
Services Hub if it was not restarted during the installation. A restart
is required so that IBM Dashboard
Application Services Hub can display the online help for Infrastructure
Management Dashboard for Servers.
- Verify the dashboard data provider is enabled in the portal server
configuration. See Verifying the dashboard data provider is enabled.
- Then, see Preparing your dashboard environment in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's
Guide for
additional configuration steps that are required to set up authentication
and authorization for dashboard users. This topic also contains information
about creating a data provider connection from IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
dashboard data provider component of the portal server.
- For more information about launching and using IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboard for Servers,
see the Windows OS Agent User's Guide,
the Linux OS Agent User's Guide,
or the UNIX OS Agent User's Guide.
If you only selected the Installation feature of the IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards
for Servers, review the dashboard application's deployment scripts
and then use the Modify operation of IBM Installation Manager to deploy
the dashboard application into IBM Dashboard
Application Services Hub. See Configuring the IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers package after installation.
