Agent goes offline after removing history path
Deleting the directory where historical collection occurs is not supported. If this is
done, the directory must be manually recreated.
Override button is not present for a situation
A situation cannot be overridden if it contains repeated combinations of attributes
or operators.
Agent's Management Definition View columns are not showing data
There will be no data shown in any columns for which an element in the
corresponding CAP file is empty. An element is left empty when it is not needed to
manage a particular agent by Agent Management Services. For monitoring agents,
for example, the following columns are left empty:
v
Startup Script
v
Stop Script
v
Configuration Script
v
Operating System Version
v
Operating System Name
v
Dependencies
There is a situation distribution discrepancy if there is a hub
monitoring server outage when one or more remote monitoring
servers remain active
Run the itmsuper tool following the hub monitoring server recycle and take note
of any distribution discrepancy between any of the remote monitoring servers and
the hub monitoring servers that the tool reports on. For the situations involved in
the distribution discrepancy, an undistribute followed by a redistribute of
situations rectifies the problem by causing proactive notifications to occur where
the agents are currently reporting.
Installing v6.2.2 agent application support on a monitoring server for a
prior release causes agents to fail
Do not install agent application support for the current release on a Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server for a prior release (for example, do not install V6.2.2
agent application support on a V6.2 monitoring server). Doing so could cause
agents to fail. If you see the 208 return code at the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
console, you have installed application support for v6.2.2 on a back level Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server.
Installing backlevel Windows OS agent on existing environment
causes monitoring server not to start
Due to packaging optimizations in v6.2.1, installing a backlevel Windows OS Agent
into an existing 6.2.1 environment is not supported, and the Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server cannot start. If this is the desired deployment, the backlevel
Windows OS Agent should be installed first.
