Installing Tioli Monitoring for Tioli Storage Manager IBM Installation Manager stores installation-related files in the shared resources directory, including files that are used for uninstalling Tioli Monitoring for Tioli Storage Manager. Capacity planning Planning details include determining how many serers you want to monitor, how many agents and agent instances are required, and how much memory and space are necessary for growth oer time. About this task The following list proides planning guidelines so you can anticipate the growth of your system oer time, depending on how many monitoring agents are in your enironment: Each agent instance, whether it is an IBM Tioli Monitoring agent, or a Tioli Monitoring for Tioli Storage Manager agent, requires approximately 150 MB of memory. Each agent also requires up to 300 MHz worth of a single CPU core during data collection. During a one-year period, the data WAREHOUS can grow to approximately 500 GB for each Tioli Storage Manager serer that is being monitored using the installation defaults. This alue depends on the number of nodes that are being backed up and archied to that serer, and the frequency of backups that occur. Enabling pruning on the monitoring serer can reduce the size of the WAREHOUS database by approximately 50 percent. Installation worksheet Use this worksheet to record information that you need when you install and administer Tioli Monitoring for Tioli Storage Manager. The worksheet includes seeral passwords for user accounts that are created during the installation. The worksheet is intended to help you remember the alues that you specified after the installation. Table 4. Tioli Monitoring for Tioli Storage Manager installation worksheet Item Description Default alue* Your alue db2inst1 Database administrator User name: Password: db2inst1 This is the Tioli Data Warehouse user name and password. This user has permission to complete all the administratie tasks in DB2. The password must be 8-14 characters in length and can include letters, numbers, @, or #. DB2 port Default port number The default port number is the first free port starting with 50000. For SLES operating systems, the default port is 50001. db2grp1 This is the group that the DB2 instance user ID belongs to. Valid port numbers are 1024-65535. 14 IBM Tioli Storage Manager for Linux: Tioli Monitoring for Tioli Storage Manager

Valid characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, @,!, and #. sysadmin Serice management administrator ID itmuser DB2 home directory The encryption key must be the same for all of the agents that access the Tioli Enterprise Monitoring serer. Tioli Enterprise Portal user name and password. This user ID is not automatically generated during the installation process. You can log in to the Tioli Enterprise Portal without specifying a password. If you want this ID to require a password during login, you can manually create the sysadmin ID, and specify a password. The administrator that is used to log on to IBM Dashboard Application Serices Hub. You can access the Tioli Common Reporting reports in the dashboard. The user ID is created during the installation of Jazz for Serice Management. Tioli Data Warehouse user name and password. This user has access to read the information from the WAREHOUS database. Note: You are only prompted for this information during configuration of the warehouse, not at installation time. You can specify which directory that you want to store the DB2 instance information. This is where the database is stored by default. If you specify /home, the instance information is stored in /home/db2admin. If you specify /information/db2, the instance information is stored in /information/db2/db2admin. Ensure that there is enough space aailable in this directory and that the directory has write-access.

Tioli Monitoring for Tioli Storage Manager installation worksheet (continued) Monitoring agent instance name Item Description Default alue* Your alue Location and the name of the SSL certificate You can specify the name of the monitoring agent instance. If you intend to monitor more than one Tioli Storage Manager serer, you must hae unique agent instance names for each instance. When you specify an instance name, the best practice is to specify the host name of the Tioli Storage Manager serer, or the serer name from the QUERY STATUS command as your agent instance name. Instance names cannot exceed 20 characters. Note: The monitoring agent instances can be created and configured after the installation. Needed if you decide to use the SSL protocol instead of TCP IP. Your first agent instance name: Your second agent instance name: Your third agent instance name: More agent instance names...: *Best practices are to use the default alues listed here. If you change these alues, ensure that you document them because they are needed later.
