TMF 4.1 ON LINUX 1

Hi there,
I work in a test lab, where we have to work with Tivoli. We originally tried to install TMF on RH 3.0, but ran into some Java issues. According to our resident RH expert (not me by any means), RH has changed how they handle java and our install of TMF failed miserablly (Couldn't launch any of the Java apps). We then installed RH 2.1 and most things seemed to run just fine. The one issue that we keep having is the first time that we attempt to run anything that is Java based, it will not run. This is due to our machine's running as root (I know security issue, but we are not a production env). For some reason the root user doesn't have the security privleges to spawn the xwindows session that the java apps need. If we add root to the xhost before we launch any of the apps, everything goes fine. I just haven't found anyway to make this addition permanent.
When we attempted to run the ITM install, we got other errors, but as we don't use ITM that often, it was decided to ignore and not troubleshoot their cause.
Hope this helps some.

Hi,
here we have linux on a linuxzvm machine (s390)
and we install our environment complete unattended via
bash and cmd-line. On the zVM Machines we install
HUB Spoke and TEC.
Also we have lots of managednodes (500) with linux-intel
(SuSE 8.0, not SLES 8) installed and in production.
kernel here is the last updated kernel from the distro.
At the moment we have lots of problems with the gateway process on the intel boxes. the oserv seems to work, the gateway process is running and answers via wgateway, but
in some situations i cannot speak with my endpoints behind
the gateways. Solution: odadmin reexec, wgateway restart does not help.
At the moment i will test the framework patch 55 in a test environment.
Even with this problems, i am very happy with the linux
boxes, the linux is stable and it is for free ;-)
I have ported our install scripts to work with linux-intel
machines. At the moment i have a little environment
with 1 HUB 2 SPOKES 1 TEC and ITM 5.1.1 FP03, and CM4.2.
At the moment i use Fedora Core 1 on this environment. Fedora has the same problem as Redhat > 8 with the IBM Java 1.3.0 code.
Due to other problems with this java version, i totally removed the IBM java from my environment and implement sun java 1.4.xx.
Until now, the environment runs as (un)stable as the linuxzvm on s390, same problems with hanging TN_prog1 executable and so i think you can do it with every distro you can manage
