IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

Deploying Netcool/OMNIbus System Service Monitor (SSM) agents

Deploying Netcool/OMNIbus SSM agents is very similar to deploying IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring OS agents: You first need to populate your agent depot with SSM bundles on the Netcool/SSM/ASM Agents DVDs or DVD images. There is DVD for each of the operating systems supported for these agents.

Once this is done, you can use the tacmd createNode command to deploy the SSM agent; see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference for complete information on this command.

To populate the SSM bundles, download the SSM image from the Passport Advantage® Web site, http://www-01.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage/, and use the tacmd addBundles command:

tacmd addBundles -t ssm -p li6213 -i c:\SSM40_Bundle

This example adds the SSM bundle for the Linux platform to the depot.

Once you have populated the depot with SSM bundles, you can use the tacmd viewDepot command to see the bundles. Each SSM bundle consists of the installer files and the corresponding descriptor file.

The tacmd commands for installing, patching, starting, stopping, and configuring the Tivoli Monitoring agents have been expanded to support operations with Netcool® SSM agents as well.
