IBM Tivoli Monitoring is now included with AIX Enterprise Edition also included is Systems Director Enterprise Edition. Last week I was installing ITM for a customer and had a couple of installation issues that I also found fixes for.

DB2 Enterprise Server 9.7 with Fixpack 1 needs to be installed first. The db2setup program is used to start the graphical installer, but the installer wasn't launching. The tip for this is to run "export JAVA_COMPILER=none" before running db2setup.

TEMS (Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server) and TEPS (Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server) 6.2.2 with Fixpack 2 is installed next using the "install.sh" that is on the ITM base code DVD. During the initial configuration step for the TEPS (Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server) using the command "itmcmd config -A cq" the following error message was displayed: KCIIN0366E Failed to grant rights to itmuser

I downloaded and installed the ITM 6.2.2 Fixpack #5 update and re-ran the configuration step but it failed again with the same message.

There was also a newer Fixpack available for DB2 9.7. It is the Fixpack #4. I downloaded and installed this Fixpack. The db2level command now showed:

# db2level

DB21085I Instance "db2inst1" uses "64" bits and DB2 code release "SQL09074" with level identifier "08050107". Informational tokens are "DB2 v9.7.0.4", "s110330", "IP23236", and Fix Pack "4".

Product is installed at "/opt/IBM/db2/V9.7".

This was the fix to this issue.  The TEPS configuration completed normally after this was done.
