8 UNIX server monitor
This section introduces how to monitor a UNIX system and view the monitoring report. APM provides
application monitor facility for the following types of UNIX system:
• AIX
• Solaris
• FreeBSD
• Mac OS
• OpenBSD
• HP-UX
AIX
As a UNIX operation system, the AIX system can be installed on various types of IBM servers. The
performance and stability of AIX greatly affect the performance of applications running on it. Therefore,
APM provides the ability to monitor AIX operation system.
APM can monitor the AIX 5.4 or latter version.
Configuring AIX monitor
APM can monitor AIX operation system using CLI mode. Before starting AIX monitor configuration on
APM, make sure that the following conditions are meet:
• The AIX operation system to be monitored starts up, and the Telnet/SSH is enabled. For more
information, see AIX configuration guide.
• The host on which AIX resides has been added to the IMC base platform. For more information,
see HP Intelligent Management Center Base Platform Administrator Guide.
• Monitoring the AIX via CLI, APM obtains the Telnet/SSH user name and password of the AIX host
through the IMC PLAT. Therefore, you need to configure the correct Telnet/SSH user name and
password before monitoring the AIX system, and the Telnet/SSH user must have the administrator
authority of the host on which AIX resides.
