3.2.6 Notes about installation and setup of the UNIX edition
- Organization of this subsection
(1) 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.
(2) Notes about installing multiple Performance Management programs on the same host (for UNIX)
The notes about installing multiple Performance Management programs on the same host are the same as for the Windows environment.
(3) Notes about upgrading (for UNIX)
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.
(4) Notes about installing PFM - RM for Platform in a UNIX environment
This subsection provides notes about installing PFM - RM for Platform in a UNIX 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 Install failed is displayed on the status bar during installation and the installation fails, collect the /etc/.hitachi/.hitachi.log log file. This log file will be overwritten during the next installation process. Make a backup of this file, as required.
-
If you install Performance Management programs by adding a link to the installation directory, some files and directories might remain in the linked directory even if you delete all Performance Management programs. You must delete these files and directories manually. Note that during installation, if a linked directory contains files and directories with the same names as source files and directories, those files and directories will be overwritten.
-
If the /opt/jp1pc/setup directory contains the setup file of PFM - RM for Platform, additional setup of a new PFM - RM for Platform will be executed.
-
To run PFM - RM for Platform as services, use an account with superuser permissions. Before you start PFM - Remote Monitor for Platform, associate the superuser account that will be used to operate the PFM - Remote Monitor for Platform service with the mqm group.
-
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 as well as 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.
