Install the domain definitions to enable performance analytics
for a broader set of systems including DB2®,
Oracle, System p® Series,
ITCAM for RT, and VMware. You can install domain definitions in GUI
mode or console mode. The domain definitions for the Tivoli® Performance Analyzer are found on the IBM® Tivoli Performance
Analyzer Reports and Domain Definitions DVD or DVD image.
Note: - Tivoli Performance Analyzer
is a special agent that works on data collected by other agents. Tivoli Performance Analyzer is
shipped with separate packages called domains. These domains bundle
together a set of artifacts that are used to process and present warehoused
data collected by other agents. For example, there is Performance
Analyzer DB2 domain, Performance
Analyzer OS Domain, Performance Analyzer Oracle Domain, and so on.
- Domain definitions for Tivoli Performance Analyzer must
be added in order to complete the product configuration. You must
install the domains on the server that has the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server,
and Tivoli Performance Analyzer installed.
In a distributed environment, you must perform domain installation
on each server where at least one of these components is installed:
hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server,
and Tivoli Performance Analyzer.
- When run on a host, the domain installer presents options to add
domain support for only those components that it finds installed on
the server locally, for example Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Server, Tivoli Enterprise
Portal clients - Browser and Desktop, Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server, or Tivoli Performance
Analyzer itself. Choose the installed component as appropriate.
- Due to new domain product
codes introduced with Tivoli Monitoring V6.2.3,
any historical data collection settings for the Tivoli Performance Analyzer are
not maintained when upgrading from V6.2.2 to V6.2.3 or higher. The
domain installer image includes scripts that create historical data
collection settings. You can use these scripts to quickly recreate
any historical data collection settings that were lost.
