5. Preparations Before Starting

This chapter explains the preparations before starting SLM, including installation, setup, and user settings.

This chapter also explains optional preparations, such as linking with JP1/IM to report monitoring results by means such as email, linking with Performance Management to monitor hosts and middleware that provide the services, and editing system definition files (jp1itslm.properties or jp1itslmur.properties) to change SLM operations.

For details about the preparations before you start running SLM in a cluster system, see 6. Preparations Before Starting (Cluster System).
