===== IBM System Director (no longer supported) =====

IBM System Director is able to monitor hardware, software updates (deployment), firmware updates, and much more.\\
For information, 4GB RAM is not enough.

Installation on AIX server, it's not supported on WPAR. IBM director can manage IBM servers Blade, Intel, Power, Mainframe, and other hardware but not for free. For IBM servers it's free except advanced functions.

==== Uninstall System Director ====

=== on VIOS ===

To stop the common and platform agents, run the following command:
<cli prompt>
/opt/ibm/director/agent/bin/stopagent_vios
cimserver -s 
</cli>

Uninstall the nonstop service by running the following command:
<cli prompt>
/opt/ibm/director/agent/runtime/nonstop/bin/installnonstop.sh -uninstallservice
</cli>

=== on AIX ===
To permanently uninstall the Director agent or server components and leave the filesets that might be used by other applications, run the following command:

  /opt/ibm/director/bin/diruninstall

 

It will uninstall the following filesets:
    DirectorServer (if Director server was installed)
    DirectorCommonAgent
    DirectorPlatformAgent

To uninstall the filesets that remain after running diruninstall command, do the following:
  installp -u cas.agent                      # Uninstall common agent services (1)
  installp -u tivoli.tivguid                 # Uninstall Tivoli Guid
  installp -u sysmgt.cim.*providers*         # Uninstall all CIM providers
  installp -u sysmgt.cimserver.pegasus.rte   # Uninstall Pegasus CIM server (2)

 If there is no diruninstall script, you need to manually uninstall the Director filesets to recover from a failed install using the following commands:
  installp -C                         # Clean up possible unfinished install
  installp -u DirectorServer          # Uninstall Director server - Only if the server is installed
  installp -u DirectorCommonAgent     # Uninstall Director subagents (aka Common Agent)
  installp -u DirectorPlatformAgent   # Uninstall Director Platform agent
==== Install IBMdirector ====

Once uncompressed, go into the directory, the package can be installed with default values, else use the response file:
<box 100% round orange|>./dirinstall.server</box>

Now you are ready to configure IBM System Director, Resource Manager username is not the login password. Use a user that is still defined on your server. Best way is to leave a blank password, it will be automatically generated by application:
<cli prompt='#'>
[root@monitor]/gpfs1/srv# /opt/ibm/director/bin/configAgtMgr.sh
Enter 1 to use the Agent Manager installed with this server (recommended)
Enter 0 to use an existing Agent Manager (advanced) : 1
Enter Resource Manager username : dirinst1
Enter Resource Manager password :
Re-Enter Resource Manager password :
Enter Agent Registration password :
Re-Enter Agent Registration password :
[Add] [Element]: AgentManagerUserID [Value]: dirinst1
[Add] [Element]: AgentManagerPassword [Value]: {aes:3C5SnKQL63SjkEy44Gs+vHF6nQzC+Dil1NzNvSiAzzk=}20YlY60UOpRYxP7rKJXcmw==
[Add] [Element]: ManagerRegistrationPassword [Value]: {aes:3C5SnKQL63SjkEy44Gs+vHF6nQzC+Dil1NzNvSiAzzk=}20YlY60UOpRYxP7rKJXcmw==
DataSourceConfig.sh=0
