Installing & Configuring the TADDM 7.3 ITM Agent

The Monitoring Agent for TADDM Serviceability and Manageability 7.2.2  is located on the 3rd package of the TADDM installation bundle. Which is TADDM_7.3.0_3_OF_4_LNX_X86_ML.zip at the time of writing.

Before we Install the Monitoring Agent for TADDM Serviceability and Manageability  we need to make sure that the product support is installed on TEPS and TEMS. As we have both running on the same server in our test environment, we only have to complete the procedure once. As usual we use SLES 11 SP3 as the installation platform. The installation is started by executing install.sh from the taddm agent image directory.
