Pat, thank you! Would love to see a copy of your install script. Some other group here is supposed to be writing one, but I'm sure they don't know a z from a p or a q or an r ;)
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/lmt/v7r2m2/topic/com.ibm.license.mgmt.planinconf.doc/t_installing_agents_linux_zseries.html So you can put it somewhere other than /var/itlm if you use rpm to install it and relocate it. That doesn't change that it shouldn't be just going to /etc instead of /etc/opt/IBM/itlm or someplace like that.

When I installed ILMT, the old ILMT was not available for download. It was replaced by Tivoli Asset Discovery for Distributed 7.2.2, which looks identical. This has a step that will install the product in a directory of your choice rather than /var. We install the agents in /opt, however there are two files that are placed in /etc (tlmagent.ini and tlmlog.properties). I don't believe that I have anything in /var for the agents.

If you'd like, I'll gladly forward the install script we're currently using. This includes a lot of the relocation stuff, the SSL security cert stuff, the scan groups, and the priority settings. I'm putting the software into /opt right now, in a parallel location to our tivoli distributed monitoring agent install. Finally, something that apparently gets adjusted from the server instead of the client are the list of directories to exclude from scanning. Don't forget this. Exclude at least all your meta filesystems (on rhel 5, /proc, /sys, /dev/pts /dev/shm /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs), and stuff like any automounted home dirs or env wide network shares. Let me know how it works for you! -- Pat
