JP1 Version 12 JP1/Performance Management - Agent Option for Enterprise Applications Description, User's Guide and Reference


3.2.3 Installation procedure in Linux

This subsection describes the program installation order for PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications and how to install the program from the provided CD-ROM.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Program installation order

You must install PFM - Base before you install a PFM - Agent. PFM - Agent cannot be installed on a host where PFM - Base has not been installed.

To install PFM - Agent and PFM - Manager on the same host, install PFM - Manager first and then PFM - Agent. If you are upgrading the Store database from version 1.0 to 2.0, the setup method depends on the order in which PFM - Agent and PFM - Manager or PFM - Base are installed. For details about how to set up Store version 2.0, see 3.6.2 Updating the Store version to 2.0.

Multiple PFM - Agents installed on the same host can be installed in any order.

(2) How to install the program

There are two ways to install the Performance Management program on a Linux host. One uses the provided CD-ROM, and the other uses JP1/Software Distribution for remote installation. For details about the method for using JP1/Software Distribution, see the following manuals:

Note

If Performance Management services are already running on the host where the program is to be installed, you must first stop all the active services, including all services on both physical and logical hosts. For details about stopping services, see the chapter that describes starting and stopping services in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

The following subsections describe how to install the program from the provided CD-ROM.

(a) In Linux

  1. On the host where the Performance Management program is to be installed, log on as a superuser or use the su command to change the user to a superuser.

  2. Stop all Performance Management services on the local host.

    If any Performance Management services are running, stop all of them.

  3. Insert the CD-ROM containing the Performance Management program.

  4. Execute the mount command to mount the CD-ROM device.

    For example, to mount the CD-ROM device on /cdrom, execute the command as follows:

    mount -r -o mode=0544 device-special-file-name /cdrom

    Note that the command's specification depends on the environment being used.

  5. Execute the following command to start the Hitachi Program Product Installer:

    /cdrom/X64LIN/SETUP /cdrom

    The Hitachi Program Product Installer starts and displays the initial window.

  6. In the initial window, enter I.

    A list of installable programs is displayed.

  7. Select the Performance Management program that you wish to install and then enter I.

    The selected program is installed. To select a program, move the cursor to the desired program and then select it by pressing the space key.

  8. When installation is completed successfully, enter Q.

    The initial window of the Hitachi Program Product Installer appears again.

Reference

The Performance Management installation directory is created automatically during installation except for PFM - Web Console. The directory specified during the initial installation is assumed during any subsequent installation.
