2.1.3 Installation procedure

(1) Program installation sequence

First install PFM - Base, and then install PFM - RM for Virtual Machine. You cannot install PFM - RM for Virtual Machine on a host that does not have PFM - Base installed.

To install PFM - RM for Virtual Machine on the same host as PFM - Manager, first install PFM - Manager, followed by PFM - RM for Virtual Machine.

If more than one PFM - RM is installed on the same host, the order of PFM - RM installation does not matter.

(2) Program installation procedure

You can install Performance Management programs on a Windows host either by using the supplied medium or by using JP1/SD to perform a remote installation. For details about how to use JP1/Software Distribution, see the JP1/Software Distribution Administrator's Guide Volume 1, for Windows systems.

Notes:

• If Performance Management programs or services have been activated on the target hosts, stop all of these programs and services. Stop all services on both physical hosts and logical hosts. For details about how to stop services, see the chapter that explains startup and termination of Performance Management in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.

• If user account control functionality (UAC) is enabled on a Windows host, the User Account Control dialog box might be displayed during installation. If this dialog box is displayed, click the Continue button to continue installation, or click the Cancel button to cancel installation.

To install Performance Management programs using the supplied medium:

1. Log on to the host on which you intend to install the programs as an administrator.

2. If any Performance Management services are running on the local host, stop all of them.

   The services you are going to stop are the Performance Management services running on both the physical and logical hosts. For details about how to stop services, see the chapter that explains startup and termination of Performance Management in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.

3. Insert the supplied medium into the machine and execute the installer.

   Proceed with installation by following the instructions of the installer that starts.

   The following items, which have been set upon the installation of PFM - Manager or PFM - Base, are displayed for your information:

   • User information

     Enter information such as a user name.

   • Installation folder

     Specify the folder in which to install the Performance Management programs.

     The installation folder is created when you specify a folder in the Select Directory dialog box and click OK. If you create a folder by mistake, delete it after installation.

   • Program folder

     Specify the program menu name to be registered in Start - All Programs in Windows.

     By default, Performance Management is registered.

     Note

     The installation folder for Performance Management programs other than PFM - Web Console can be specified when such a program is first installed on the target host.

     In the second and subsequent installations of Performance Management programs, the installation folder specified during the first installation of the Performance Management programs will be used as the installation folder.

4. Click the Install button to start the installation process.
