(2) When linking with JP1/IM2

(1) When linking with JP1/IM

The following prerequisite conditions for linking with JP1/IM must be satisfied:.

The PFM - Manager host must have JP1/Base installed in order to log on to Performance Management as a JP1 user. Use JP1/Base to manage users.
JP1/Base on the PFM - Manager host must be configured as an object to be managed by JP1/IM - Manager.
To start PFM - Web Console from JP1/IM View, the JP1/IM - View host must have a Web browser installed.
Performance Management 08-00 or later and an earlier version of Performance Management cannot be set up at the same time when establishing linkage with JP1/IM.
The JP1 authentication mode must be used to display reports from the JP1/IM Central Console.

Note:: If Performance Management earlier than 08-00 is used for setting up the JP1/IM linkage function, you need to perform unsetup of the JP1/IM linkage function of the earlier version (previous to 08-00) and then set up the JP1/IM linkage function using version 08-00 or later again.

To display a report about the host on which the problem occurred from a JP1 event displayed in the JP1/IM Central Console, the following conditions must be satisfied:

If the OS of a monitored host is UNIX, the actual host name is used as the monitoring host name in Performance Management. The result of the uname -n command must match the result of the hostname command. If it does not, take either of the following actions:

Change the method for acquiring the host name to hostname.

Configure the environment of the monitored host so that the hostname command and the uname -n command produce the same output.
The name of the event server that issues a JP1 event must match the name of the monitoring host in Performance Management. Names are case sensitive.
When a JP1 event is issued, JP1/PFM - Agent or JP1/PFM - RM must be monitoring the host on which the problem occurred.

To display an OS performance report about a job execution host, PFM - Agent for Platform or PFM - RM for Platform must be monitoring the host.

The following product versions are required.

No.	Product name		Version
1	JP1/Integrated Management or JP1/ Integrated Management 2	JP1/IM - Manager	11-10 or later
2	JP1/Integrated Management or JP1/ Integrated Management 2	JP1/IM -View	11-10 or later
3	JP1/Base	JP1/Base	11-00 or later^#
4	JP1/Performance Management	PFM - Web Console	11-10 or later^#

#: If you are running multiple Performance Management systems, the products in all the Performance Management systems must have these versions or later. If an earlier-version product is included, reports might not be displayed because of unsuccessful connection with the PFM - Web Console instance for which reports are to be displayed.

The following figure shows the installation configuration:

(2) When linking with JP1/IM2

The following conditions must be satisfied to establish a link with JP1/IM2.

The following table describes the prerequisite versions of PFM - Manager, PFM - Web Console, and JP1/IM2 for each JP1/IM2 linkage function.

The PFM - Manager host requires JP1/Base version 12-10 or later.

If you use the suggestion function of JP1/IM2 in use case 1 of Performance Management, the monitored host requires PFM - Agent for Platform (of any version).

Any versions of PFM - Base and the agent product may be used.
JP1/Base 10-10 or later is required in the PFM - Manager host. If PFM - Manager is on a logical host, the logical host name of PFM - Manager and that of JP1/Base must be the same.
To install JP1/Base on the PFM - Agent host and the PFM - RM host, you need to use a version of JP1/Base that can issue JP1 events.
If you are not installing JP1/Base on the PFM - Agent host or the PFM - RM host, you have to enable the issuance of JP1 system events (event ID: 00004850) that notify changes in agent status by executing the JP1/IM2 linkage command (jpcconf im2 command) with the function for batch-issuing events that change agent status enabled.

Note that, if you want to disable the function for batch-issuing events that change agent status in your environment, you have to install JP1/Base on the PFM - Agent host and the PFM - RM host.
The JP1/IM2 is necessary as the manager hosts of JP1/IM.
The JP1 authentication mode must be used.
The following functions must be enabled for Performance Management:
- Status management function
- Health check function
If the system configuration includes PFM - RM, the following function must be enabled:
- Settings for PFM - RM polling^#
#

Under the Health Check Configurations folder of PFM - RM, specify Yes for the Health Check for Target Hosts property.
To link multiple PFM - Manager instances to one JP1/IM2 instance, the host names of the monitoring managers, monitoring agents, and monitoring targets must be unique. To ensure the uniqueness, you can set aliases for un-unique host names, except for monitoring managers. Ensure that monitoring managers have unique real host names, instead of setting aliases.

Before you can set aliases, you must configure JP1/IM2 so that it can accept aliases.

For details about the installation configuration to be used when linking with JP1/IM2 and how to configure JP1/IM2 to accept aliases, see the JP1/IM2 manual.
