Deploying Application Connectivity Monitor

Privileges Requirement

If you are integrating Application Connectivity Monitor, you must either:

•Be a superuser (User ID 0) on UNIX platforms.

•Have administrative privileges on Windows platforms.

Supported Product Versions and Requirements

Application Connectivity Monitor requires:

•EMC Smarts Application Connectivity Monitor. Components: ACM Domain Manager.

•Service Assurance Management Suite 6.2 with SmartPack2. Components: Global Manager, Global Console, and Adapter Platform.

•IP Management Suite 6.2 with SmartPack2. Components: Availability Manager.

•Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2_06 must be installed on your system. It is a requirement for the installation program.

Firewall Deployment Considerations

The ACM Domain Manager needs to be able to connect to the applications it monitors. A firewall between the ACM Domain Manager and an application can prevent ACM from discovering and monitoring that application.

If there is no access, your firewall administrator might need to:

•Configure security policies (rules) to enable a one-way connection from the ACM Domain Manager to the server to be monitored.

•Specify application ports while setting up the one-way connection for a greater level of security.

Installing the Software

EMC Smarts suites need to be properly installed and functional.

Instructions to install and uninstall the suites are provided in these documents:
