5.4.1 Setting up the linkage between SLM and Performance Management (working with Performance Management)

(1) Before you start

• Verify that SLM - Manager, PFM - Manager, and PFM - Web Console have been installed and set up.

• Verify that SLM - Manager is terminated. For details about how to terminate SLM - Manager, see 2.1.4 Terminating SLM - Manager.

• Verify that a host name, not the IP address, is specified in the managerHost property in the system definition file (jp1itslm.properties) of SLM - Manager. If an IP address is specified, change it to the host name.

(2) Procedure

To set up the linkage between SLM and Performance Management:

1. In the system definition file (jp1itslm.properties) of SLM - Manager, specify the following properties:

   • pfmManagerHost (PFM - Manager's host name)

   • pfmManagerPort (PFM - Manager's port number^{#1, #2})

   • pfmWebConsoleURL (URL of PFM - Web Console that is to be started from SLM)

   • pfmReceivePort (Port number used by SLM - Manager to receive performance data^#2)

   #1: This port is used by the PFM - Manager service's View Server.

   #2: For details, see the description of network setup for linking with SLM in the SLM/Performance Management User's Guide.

   Edit the system definition file of SLM - Manager. The system definition file is stored at the following location:

   SLM-Manager-installation-folder\mgr\conf\jp1itslm.properties

2. If a firewall has been set up between SLM and Performance Management, set the firewall to open the ports that correspond to the following properties specified in step 1:

   • pfmManagerPort

   • pfmReceivePort

   Note that the port specified in the pfmReceivePort property is used for communications between SLM - Manager and monitoring agents. Therefore, configure the firewall between SLM - Manager and the monitoring agents so that the port specified in pfmReceivePort is open.

   Also check the following:

   Check if the firewall between SLM - Manager and PFM - Manager is configured so that the port specified for the pfmManagerPort property is open. If the port is not open, configure the firewall so that the port is open.

   Check if the ephemeral ports used for communication between SLM - Manager and PFM - Manager are open. If they are not open, configure the firewall so that the ephemeral ports are open or configure the firewall to allow communication from the following program:

   SLM-Manager-installation-folder\mgr\bin\system\jslmmadaptor.exe

   The following figure shows the correspondence between firewall locations and ports to be opened.

   

The setup needed in SLM to link with Performance Management is now complete.
