3.1.7 Notes about installation and setup of the Windows edition
This subsection provides notes about installing and setting up Performance Management in a Windows environment.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Notes about registry
PFM - RM for Platform supports operation in an environment that is set up by the OS-provided standard method. If you have customized the OS environment, such as by using a registry editor to directly edit registry information, performance data might no longer be collected correctly even if such customization is disclosed in the Microsoft technical support information.
(2) Notes about environment variables
Performance Management uses the JPC_HOSTNAME environment variable. Do not set a user-specific JPC_HOSTNAME environment variable. If such an environment variable is set, Performance Management will not function correctly.
(3) Notes about installing multiple Performance Management programs on the same host (for Windows)
In Performance Management, you can install PFM - Manager, PFM - Web Console, and PFM - RM for Platform on the same host. This subsection provides notes about installing multiple Performance Management programs on the same host.
To improve system performance and reliability, we recommend that you run PFM - Manager, PFM - Web Console, and PFM - RM for Platform on separate hosts.
-
PFM - Manager and PFM - Base cannot be installed on the same host. If you need to install PFM - Manager on a host where PFM - Base and PFM - RM for Platform have been installed, perform the following procedure:
-
Uninstall all Performance Management programs except PFM - Web Console.
-
Install PFM - Manager.
-
Install PFM - RM for Platform.
-
-
If you need to install PFM - Base on a host where PFM - Manager and PFM - RM for Platform have been installed, perform the following procedure:
-
Uninstall all Performance Management programs except PFM - Web Console.
-
Install PFM - Base.
-
Install PFM - RM for Platform.
-
-
If you are installing PFM - RM for Platform on the PFM - Web Console host, close all browser windows before you start the installation.
-
If you install a new Performance Management program, the status management function is enabled by default.
(4) Notes about upgrading (for Windows)
For notes about upgrading the Performance Management programs, see the section that presents notes about upgrading in the chapter describing installation and setup in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.
For notes about upgrading PFM - RM for Platform, see H. Migration Procedure and Notes on Migration.
For details about upgrading, see the relevant Appendix in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.
(5) Notes about installing PFM - RM for Platform in a Windows environment
This subsection provides notes about installing PFM - RM for Platform in a Windows environment.
-
If you install PFM - RM for Platform in an environment where no Performance Management program has been installed, make sure that there are no folders or files in the installation folder.
-
If you install PFM - RM for Platform while Performance Management programs and services or other programs that reference Performance Management files (such as Windows Event Viewer) are running, a message prompting you to restart the system might be displayed. In such a case, restart the system according to the message to complete the installation.
-
If you install PFM - RM for Platform in any of the statuses below, file expansion might fail:
-
Performance Management programs and services or other programs that reference Performance Management files (such as Windows Event Viewer) are running.
-
The disk capacity is insufficient.
-
The user does not have required folder permissions.
If installation has failed, terminate the programs that reference Performance Management files or take appropriate action, such as by resolving the problem of insufficient disk capacity or of folder permissions, and then re-install PFM - RM for Platform.
-
-
If you upgrade PFM - RM for Platform in a cluster environment, you must place the shared disk online in either the executing system or the standby system.
-
If you perform new installation of PFM - RM for Platform, the system must be restarted. In the case of overwrite installation and upgrading, a message prompting the user to restart the system might be displayed. In such a case, restart the system according to the message to complete the installation.
-
If the installation-folder\setup folder contains the setup file of PFM - RM for Platform, additional setup of a new PFM - RM for Platform will be executed.
-
Before you install a Performance Management program, check to see if any of the security-related programs described below are installed. If such a program is installed, take appropriate action according to the information provided below.
-
Security monitoring program
Either terminate the security monitoring program or change its settings so that installation of the Performance Management program will not be affected.
-
Virus detection program
We recommend that you terminate any virus detection program before you install the Performance Management programs.
If a virus detection program is running during installation of a Performance Management program, it might slow down the installation process, the installation might fail, or the program might not install correctly.
-
Process monitoring program
Either terminate the process monitoring program or change its settings so that it does not monitor Performance Management services and processes or services and processes of common components.
Installation of a Performance Management program might fail if these services and processes are started or stopped by the process monitoring program during the installation process.
-
-
PFM - RM for Platform supports the disk replication installation functionality of JP1/ServerConductor/Deployment Manager, and also supports the replication functionality of virtualization platforms through conversion to image files.
For details on disk replication installation, see precautions regarding disk replication installation in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.
