Event Management Installation Considerations
We recommend that you review the following important considerations before you
install Event Management on UNIX:
■
Event Management can be installed on a dedicated server or on the server where
the CA Technologies product is installed. However, Event Management is typically
installed on a server other than the one used by the CA Technologies product
because of the database size requirements.
Notes:
– If you install Event Management, CAICCI will automatically be installed. The
installer automatically selects CAICCI when you select Event Management.
– When installing Event Management, the CA NSM Event software development
kit (SDK) sample code is installed and built. On HP-UX, an ANSI C compiler, for
example, HP Product Number B3899BA or B3901BA, must be installed for the
SDK compilation to occur.
– The Event Manager installation requires Apache HTTP Server or Netscape
Enterprise Server to be installed and running so that URLs created as part of
the installation are available. If this requirement is not met, the Event Manager
will function but the URL-dependent features such as the Online Help will not
be available.
– On AIX 6.1 or 7.1 Workload Partitions (WPARs) computers, install the Event
Manager using the CA NSM media. The Event Manager that is installed using
the CA Common Components DVD is not supported on AIX WPARs computers.
However, the Event Agent is supported on AIX 6.1 or 7.1 WPARs computers and
so you can install it using the CA Common Components DVD.
■
During the installation of Event Management, you can enable the following options:
Route Messages
Routes messages to a consolidated event console. Messages sent directly to
the console logs will not be sent to your system log.
Activate Facility
Saves failed events for forwarding at a later time.
Disable Commands
Denies message records and actions that execute UNIXSH and UNIXCMD
commands.
Process SNMP Traps
Enables the Event Agent to process SNMP traps. Enterprise Management
Provider supports receiving and processing SNMP version 1, version 2c, and
version 3 traps.
