====== Installation of ITM Linux agent ======

For some strange reason IBM does not supply  the 6.2.2 ITM Linux agent as RPM package(s).\\
Instead a tremendous number of files with a size of 2.7G is supplied!\\
If SE-Linux in enabled IBM suggests to disable SE-Linux! But hang on there is help in the darkness :-)

Make sure following packages are installed.
  libstdc++-devel-4.4.5-6.el6.i686
  compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-144.el6.i686
  compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.x86_64
  libXpm-devel-3.5.8-2.el6.x86_64

Install agent (or rather do first round of installation as SE-Linux is turned on)\\
Dive into directory with ITM files.\\
Run install script
  # ./install.sh

Choose default install values.\\
When prompted for Select one of the following:\\
Select 1) Install products to the local host.

You will be met with the IBM warning sign (rubbish):\\
WARNING: SELinux (Secure Enhanced Linux) is set to "enforced" or "permissive" mode. "Enforced" mode is not supported by IBM Tivoli Monitoring\\
1. Set SELinux "disabled" mode.\\
2. Reboot the system.\\
3. Execute the "prelink -a" command before restarting the ITM installation.\\

The install script will fail at some time with the messages:

JVMJ9VM011W Unable to load j9jit23: /opt/IBM/ITM/JRE/lx8266/bin/libj9jit23.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied\\
JVMJ9VM011W Unable to load jclscar_23: /opt/IBM/ITM/JRE/lx8266/bin/libjclscar_23.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied\\
Could not create the Java virtual machine.\\
install.sh failure: KCI1007E terminating ... license declined.

Again IBM is showing their fantastic (cough) SE-Linux knowledge.
According to the IBM web page (check link) one should run:

  restorecon -R -v /opt/IBM/ITM/JRE/
  or
  semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t "/opt/IBM/ITM/JRE/lx8266/bin/libj9jit23.so"
  semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t "/opt/IBM/ITM/JRE/lx8266/bin/libjclscar_23.so"
  chcon -R -t textrel_shlib_t /opt/IBM/ITM/JRE/lx8266/bin/libj9jit23.so
  chcon -R -t textrel_shlib_t /opt/IBM/ITM/JRE/lx8266/bin/libjclscar_23.so 

Above IBM instructions is NOT correct.

restorecon should be ran after semanage & chcon will not survive relabelling of file systems......

Correct method that will survive relabelling of file systems:
  # semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t "/opt/IBM/ITM/JRE/lx8266/bin/libj9jit23.so"
  # semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t "/opt/IBM/ITM/JRE/lx8266/bin/libjclscar_23.so"
  # restorecon -R -v /opt/IBM/ITM/JRE/
  
Then do second of installation:\\
re-run install.sh and install ITM agent.\\
When prompted insert encryption key.

Next step is to configure the ITM agent.

  # /opt/IBM/ITM/bin/itmcmd config -A lz

Select default options.\\
When prompted for TEMS Host Name insert IP of primary Remote TEMS\\

Configure connection for a secondary TEMS? [1=YES, 2=NO] (Default is: 2)\\
Select 1 and insert IP of secondary Remote TEMS\\

Edit lz.ini and add in bottom of file:\\

CTIRA_HOSTNAME=<customer abbreviation>.<server hostname>\\
CTIRA_SYSTEM_NAME=<customer abbreviation>.<server hostname>\\
CTIRA_HEARTBEAT=3
\\

Check configured stuff:
  # /opt/IBM/ITM/bin/itmcmd config -A -g lz

Start ITM agent:
  # /etc/init.d/ITMAgents1 start
  
Check nodes in IBM TEPS
