PM iSeries network for a remote server

A remote server sends its performance data to a host server.

Here are the steps that you need to follow to configure PM iSeries™ for a remote server only if PM iSeries gathers data and transmits data over SNA. From the Configure PM eServer™ iSeries display (CFGPM400) on your remote server, do these steps:
  1. Type CFGPM400 from the command line.
  2. Specify *NO for the Send performance data to IBM field.
  3. Specify *NO for the Receive performance data field.
  4. Accept the default library of QMPGDATA.
Note: If you have a network of systems, it is recommended that you use the inventory function of iSeries Navigator to gather your data and then transmit the data for those systems over the Universal Connection.

If you decide that the remote server setup is not what you want, you can choose another SNA configuration option.

Once you have configured your servers, you are ready to do the other tasks to manage PM iSeries.
