Setting Up Performance Reporting Manager

After installation is complete, you must run the Performance Reporting Manager setup script to configure the server and agent layers. You must already have set up the Sun Management Center 3.0 core server layer before running the setup script for Performance Reporting Manager.

To Set Up Performance Reporting Manager Post-Install

You must stop all Sun Management Center 3.0 agent and server components before beginning the setup procedure.

1. Run the setup script as superuser by typing:

   # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-setup -p PRM

   /opt is usually the directory where Sun Management Center 3.0 is installed. Substitute the name of the actual directory if it is different on your system.

   During the server setup, you are given three different configuration choices based on the number of agent machines and data properties you will monitor. You are prompted three times for data file locations. While you can enter the same directory three times, try to use three different directories located on three different filesystems. This separation will reduce disk I/O contention and results in better product performance. Depending upon the size of the configuration you choose during setup, the data file locations you specify will require space as listed in the following table.

   Table 2–2 Data Directory Sizes For Server Layer

   Configuration Size	First Directory Size	Second Directory Size	Third Directory Size
   Small	2048 MB	1536 MB	512 MB
   Medium	5120 MB	4096 MB	3072 MB
   Large	8192 MB	7168 MB	7168 MB

At the end, the es-setup script asks you if you want to start a backup of Sun Management Center 3.0. If you answer y for “Yes”, the Sun Management Center 3.0 server processes will start automatically at the end of set up. You do not need to start the server at this time. See Backup and Restore for more information.

If you need to run the Performance Reporting Manager setup script again at any time, use this procedure to start the script.

Once you have completed installing and setting up Performance Reporting Manager and you answer “No” to preserve the data, you must run the Performance Reporting Manager setup script again using es-setup -p PRM.
