Installing on UNIX systems

To install Transaction Tracking, you install the Transaction Reporters, Aggregation agents, and support files for the IBM Tivoli Monitoring components separately and then configure the components.

Before you begin

The installation procedure for each component is the same until you select the components that you want to install. The procedure up to that point is described here. Depending on your chosen deployment, you may be able to combine some of the installation tasks.

Note: Install all components as the same user.

Procedure

To install any Transaction Tracking component on a UNIX system separate from IBM Tivoli Monitoring:

  1. Log in as the same user used for the installation of IBM Tivoli Monitoring.
  2. Insert the product CD or download the product from the IBM® Passport Advantage® website: http://www.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage.
  3. Mount the installation image.
  4. In the mount directory, run the ./install.sh command and press Enter.
  5. When prompted for the IBM Tivoli Monitoring home directory, press Enter to accept the default (/opt/IBM/ITM) or type the full path to a different directory.
  6. If the installation directory does not already exist, you are asked if you want to create it. Type 1 to create this directory and press Enter.

    If any IBM Tivoli Monitoring components are currently running, the installer stops them, and restarts them when installation is complete. To stop any running components, type 1 and press Enter. Installation cannot continue if you choose not to stop any running components.

  7. Type 1 when prompted to Install products to the local host and press Enter.
  8. The software license agreement is displayed. Read the license agreement, type 1 to accept the agreement and press Enter.
  9. If you are prompted to install prerequisite product packages, type 1 and press Enter.
  10. If IBM GSKit is not already installed on the computer you are prompted to provide an encryption key.

    Use the same key across the enterprise. Either type the key or accept the default and press Enter.

  11. A list is displayed of available operating systems. Type the number for the operating system that you are installing on. The default value is your current operating system. Press Enter.
  12. Type 1 to confirm the operating system and press Enter. A numbered list of products available for installation is displayed.
  13. Type the number corresponding to the components that you want to install. The remaining installation options depend on the features you select.
