Installation information
Prior to installation
Installing
Installing the agent interim fix
- Download the patch bundle from Fix Central for each OS type where your agent is installed:
- If the agent is installed on AIX, download 8.1.3.0-IBM-IPM-RT-AGENT-AIX-IF0008.tar
- If the agent is installed on Linux, download 8.1.3.0-IBM-IPM-RT-AGENT-XLINUX-IF0008.tar
- If the agent is installed on Windows, download 8.1.3.0-IBM-IPM-RT-AGENT-WIN64-IF0008.zip
-
If you are installing the patch on AIX as a non-root user, you must clear unused shared libraries from the kernel and library memory before you install the patch by following these steps:
- Stop the Response Time Monitoring agent
- Login as root, and run the slibclean command
- Login as the non-root user who installed the agent and continue with the patch installation
- Unpack the patch bundle on each computer system where the agent is already installed by using the tar utility on Linux/AIX or unzip on Windows.
e.g.
tar -xf 8.1.3.0-IBM-IPM-RT-AGENT-XLINUX-IF0008.tar - Enter the created directory
- Run the apmpatch.sh/bat tool as the same user who installed the agent:
Linux/AIX:
./apmpatch.sh [<APM-AGENT-HOME>]
Widnows:
./apmpatch.bat <APM-AGENT-HOME>
where the <APM-AGENT-HOME> value specifies the directory where the agent is installed. This value is a required parameter for Windows. However, for Linux and AIX, it only needs to be provided if the agent is installed in a non-default directory.
Performing the necessary tasks after installation
A successful installation modifies the Response Time Monitoring Agent version to 08.13.01.07.
On Linux or AIX:
- Ensure that the <APM-AGENT-HOME>/bin/cinfo -t output for the Response Time Monitoring agent is '08.13.01.07'.
- The agent interim fix installation logs are written to the <APM-AGENT-HOME>/logs/ directory.
On Windows:
- Ensure that version number 08.13.01.07 is displayed for the Response Time Monitoring agent on the Performance Management window.
- The agent interim fix installation logs are written to the <APM-AGENT-HOME>\INSTALLITM\ directory.
Uninstalling if necessary
This agent maintenance package cannot be rolled back. If necessary you can uninstall and reinstall the monitoring agent and patches.
For detailed instructions to uninstall monitoring agents, please refer to the IBM Performance Management guide, here:
