Coexistence scenarios
This topic describes supported scenarios for the coexistence of BigFix Inventory and License Metric Tool .
Coexistence of BigFix Inventory and License Metric Tool in the same infrastructure License Metric Tool and BigFix Inventory can coexist within the same infrastructure. They can be connected to the same BigFix server but monitor different sets of computers. You can then use BigFix Inventory to discover non-IBM software and measure its license metric utilization on selected computers, and use License Metric Tool to monitor computers on which only IBM software is installed. Thanks to connecting both applications to a common BigFix server, you can manage them by using one console. It makes monitoring the environment much easier.
Adding a second BigFix Inventory server Available from 9.2.1. Multiple instances of
BigFix Inventory can coexist within the same infrastructure. They can be connected to the same
BigFix server but monitor different computers that are grouped according to specific criteria. It allows for reporting utilization of license metrics for subsets of computers, managing parts of the environment by separate teams, or distributing the workload by importing data from a smaller number of computers.
