To Set Up Performance Reporting Manager Individually

Perform this procedure only after the Sun Management Center software has already been installed and setup. This procedure assumes that you chose not to set up Performance Reporting Manager at the end of the installation process.

Steps

1. As superuser (su -), start the Sun Management Center setup wizard by typing:

   # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-guisetup

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

   The Sun Management Center setup wizard appears and guides you through the setup process for the software.

   ---

   Note –

   If you have installed more than one add-on product, the setup wizard for each product appears automatically. Each wizard guides you through the setup process for its add-on product. Each new setup wizard appears automatically after the setup process is completed for the previous add-on product. The setup wizard for the Performance Reporting Manager software might not be the first to appear, in this case.

   ---

2. The Overview panel appears first. Click Next to continue through the wizard panels.

3. Review the list in the Stopping Components panel and click Next.

   The Sun Management Center components must be stopped before the setup process can continue.

4. The Advanced Setup Options panel appears if you have completed the setup process for some of the add-on products installed. The remaining add-on software can be set up now. Select from the following and click Next:

   • Reconfigure All — The setup process is run again for the base Sun Management Center software and all add-on software. All the Sun Management Center software that was previously set up is set up again.

   • Configure Addons — The add-on software that was recently installed, but not yet set up, is now set up.

5. Review the list of products in the Setup Complete panel and click Next.

   The Select Add-on Products panel appears. All products newly installed on the system that will be set up are listed. You are also given the option to run setup again on any product that has already been set up.

6. Confirm that Performance Reporting Manager appears as a product to be set up now and click Next.

   The Performance Reporting Manager setup progress bar appears.

   • If you are setting up the agent layer, after the progress bar is done go to Step 10.

   • If you are setting up the server layer, the Performance Reporting Manager DB Size panel appears after the progress bar is done. Go to Step 7.

7. From the Performance Reporting Manager DB Size panel, provide the desired database size by selecting Small, Medium, or Large, and click Next.

   The three sizes are based on the number of agent machines and data properties you will monitor. For more information, see Performance Reporting Manager Software.

8. Provide the full path to three directories in the Performance Reporting Manager DB Directories panel and click Next.

   You are prompted in a single panel for three data file locations. While you can use the same directory three times, try to use three different directories located on three different file systems. This separation reduces disk I/O contention and results in better product performance.

   The space required depends upon the size of the configuration you choose during setup. The data file locations require disk space as listed in the following table.

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

   The Performance Reporting Manager DB Configuration Panel appears.

9. Once the progress bar in the Performance Reporting Manager DB Configuration Panel completes, click Next.

   Configuration of the database takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Once done, the Add-on Products Setup panel appears.

10. To invoke the start wizard, click Next.
