- Organization of this subsection
(1) Monitoring target programs
PFM - Agent for Platform monitors the following programs:
-
HP-UX
-
Solaris
-
AIX
-
Linux
These monitoring target programs and PFM - Agent for Platform must be installed on the same host.
(2) Performance Management programs
Install PFM - Agent and PFM - Base on the monitoring agent. PFM - Base is a prerequisite program for PFM - Agent. Even if you have multiple copies of PFM - Agent or PFM - RM installed, you need only a single copy of PFM - Base. However, if you install PFM - Manager and PFM - Agent on the same host, PFM - Base is not required. For details about the relationships between Performance Management program versions and the hosts on which they may be installed, see the chapter that describes system configuration version compatibility in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.
To use PFM - Agent for Platform to monitor operation of a UNIX server, you must also have PFM - Manager and PFM - Web Console.
