I've had several PMRs re 6.3 and 6.3.1 Monitoring/AdminCenter/CommonReporting.
Also on Windows 2008 R2. 6.3 wasn't easy, but 6.3.1 upgrade was even tougher. Most PMRs resulted in issuing long, complex command line commands to try to move forward. At one point, I couldn't run the GUI installer because it detected a previous install, but couldn't uninstall because it wasn't there. Make sure the account used for installing (the one you login to Windows) and those within TSM (db2admin, sysadmin, itmuser, etc) are LOCAL (not Active Directory Domain) accounts and members of the Local Administrators Group. TEPS is a local account, but not in Admin Group. I recommend making sure those accounts get set as "password never expires." I got stuck on one "install admin center again" attempt when I didn't realize one of the passwords had expired. That wasn't clear in the errors reported and thus, another PMR that took days to figure out. In my case, Group Policy had revised the password property for sysadmin. I had to argue with our security team to leave it alone. I do have a semi-working 6.3.1 install, but it's not ready for production use. Too many problems like: 1: Minimize/maximize button don't work on a window. Solution: close the window and open a new one. 2: Searching Activity Log produces a portlet error (an APAR has been created for this issue). Solution: close/open the window. 3: Displaying node schedules works only once, then displays "none" on successive displays. Solution: close/open the window. I'm not sure I've helped you Jim, other than to confirm you're not the only one with trouble. But, I have managed to create a Cognos Report that provides reasonably useable Node Backup Status. Trying to tweak it to take advantage of bursting subsets of nodes to selected recipients. Reporting (getting it to email, attach spreadsheets, etc) was another set of PMRs. Some still open. ------------------------------------------------ Harold Vandeventer Systems Programmer State of Kansas - Office of Information Technology Services [email protected] (785) 296-0631 -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Neal Sent: Friday, June 22, 2012 4:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] Admin Center Issues Importance: High Hi All, I have been working off and on for about four months with IBM Tech support to resolve an issue with Admin Center and so far no luck! I am hoping there is one person in the world that can tell me why I can't get Admin Center 6.3 to function on a Windows 2008 R2 System. I installed both the Reporting and Admin Center and there were no errors reported. However, when I open the Tivoli Integrated Portal, there is no option that says "Tivoli Storage Manager" and nothing that looks anything like the online documentation. I am at the end of my rope with this and would appreciate any assistance. Thanks much! Jim Neal Sr. TSM Admin Storage and Backup Group U.C.
