Installation elements

Version 1.0.2
ILMT 9.0 Installation elements DB2

DB2 that is used exclusively for ILMT purposes is free of charge
Currently, DB2 on Linux is a required DBMS for ILMT 9.0
Two versions of DB2 are supported by ILMT 9.0: 10.5 and 10.1 with at
least fix pack 2
Users can install new version of DB2 or reuse the existed one
DB2 10.5 is shipped in ILMT packages in two versions:
GA in IBM Endpoint Manager Platform Install V9.1.0 for Linux and DB2
Multilingual (CITM6ML)
Fix pack 2 in IBM DB2 Workgroup Server Edition - Restricted Use
V10.5 for Linux on AMD64 and Intel EM64T systems (x64) Multilingual
(CIKF2ML)
Version 10.5 with FP2 is recommended
When using those packages, DB2 can be installed in silent mode,
interactively or transparently by IEM installer

16


Version 1.0.2
ILMT 9.0 Installation elements IEM server

IBM Endpoint Manager server is the
central element in the IEM infrastructure
It is responsible for coordinating
the whole work
It can be installed on Linux as well as
on Windows
It uses DB2 or MsSQL as the
database management system
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v26r1/topic/com.ibm.lmt.doc_9.0/com.ibm.license.mgmt.doc/planincon

ios.html
17


Version 1.0.2
ILMT 9.0 Installation elements IEM relay

IBM Endpoint Manager relays are used to share the IEM server load
There can be dozens or even hundreds of relays in the IEM infrastructure
Relays may build a hierarchy
Typically, a relay is deployed for every 500-1000 computers
A dedicated port (52311 by default) is used for HTTP communication
between servers, relays, and clients
The IBM Endpoint Manager relays can
also take advantage of a UDP port to
alert the clients about updates
Relays in the DMZ allow clients in the
DMZ or on the public Internet to be
managed by IBM Endpoint Manager
Typically, more than one relay should
be installed. If a relay fails for any
reason, its attached clients can then
automatically switch over to a
different relay

arios.html
18


Version 1.0.2
ILMT 9.0 Installation elements IEM console

IBM Endpoint Manager console is an installable package for Windows with
the size of ~36MB
The console is used for user interaction with the IEM server
The installation package is setup.exe file
By default, the package is available after the IEM server installation under:
/var/opt/BESInstallers/Console
C:\Program Files\BigFix Enterprise\BES Console
It might be installed on the same machine as the IEM server or on a
different one
More than one IEM console may work for the same IEM server
A dedicated port (52311 by default) is used for HTTPS communications
between servers and consoles

stalling_iem_platform.html
19


Version 1.0.2
ILMT 9.0 Installation elements IEM clients

The IBM Endpoint Manager Clients are typically PCs, workstations, servers,
laptops, and more
IEM client should be installed on every computer in the network that needs
to be administered
This allows the targeted computers to receive important Fixlets to perform
operations such as upgrades or software and capacity scans
A dedicated port (52311 by default) is used for HTTP communication
between servers, relays and clients
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v26r1/topic/com.ibm.tem.doc_9.1/Platform/Adm/c_installing_the_clien
ts.html
20


Version 1.0.2
ILMT 9.0 Installation elements IEM clients (cont.)

To appropriately measure the utilization of processor cores for subcapacity,
additional clients should be installed in
Global zones corresponding to local zones for Solaris
Control domains corresponding to guest domains for Solaris
HPVM (HP Integrity Virtual Machines) host corresponding to HPVM
guest operating system for HP-UX
There are a few possibilities to install a client
Using the Client Deploy Tool
Using Agent Deployment Wizard (stand-alone)
Installing the client manually
Installing the client with MSI
Using Software Distribution Tools
Using Group Policies
Using Login Scripts
Binaries for all IEM 9.1 clients and
IEM legacy clients can be downloaded
from the Internet

ng%20Agents
21


Version 1.0.2
ILMT 9.0 Installation elements IBM License Metric Tool

There is no separate package for IBM License Metric Tool in version 9.0
available on Passport Advantage
After installing the IEM server and authorizing to the ILMT site, a special
fixlet for extracting the ILMT server will appear
After choosing a computer, the server installation package will be deployed
there
Installation of the ILMT server is a manual task that everyone must do
either in silent mode or by using a graphical installation wizard
Prior to deploying ILMT, DB2 must be already installed as the installer also
creates its own database
22


Version 1.0.2
ILMT 9.0 Installation elements License Metric Tool (cont.)

An integral part of the ILMT server is a web user interface that is accessible
via a web browser at: https://hostname:9081/sam
ILMT fixlets for IEM clients are available at the fixlet server
IEM 9.1 clients platform coverage differs from ILMT 9.0 platform coverage
for subcapacity licensing ILMT has precedence here
If there is no IEM 9.1 client for a particular operating system, you should
find a legacy IEM client ,e.g. IEM 9.0 for AIX 5.3
http://support.bigfix.com/bes/install/besclients-nonwindows.html

Version 1.0.2
Installation guidelines
24


Version 1.0.2
ILMT 9.0 Installation guideline

IBM Endpoint Manager was designed to have an easy access to the Internet
Some installation steps need such communication
For machines without the Internet connection the installation requires
running additional tools such as airgap and download cacher to simulate
the Internet access
Lack of web access significantly increases the complexity of the installation
process
The complete set of movies showing step-by-step installation of ILMT 9.0 in
environment with no Internet access are available on the ILMT YouTube
channel (link at the bottom)
