|
|
<div><p>If you choose not to take advantage of sending data with the Electronic
|
|
Service Agent™ over Extreme Support, you can still use the character-based
|
|
interface to transmit data.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>PM <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> asks
|
|
you a series of questions about the configuration and use of your servers.
|
|
The Configure PM eServer™ <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> display asks you questions about
|
|
how you want your servers to send and receive PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> performance
|
|
data. The first part of the process involves setting up your network. The
|
|
second part asks you how you want to transmit your data. When you use the
|
|
character-based interface, you can use a direct dial line to transmit data.</p>
|
|
<p>Follow
|
|
these steps to send data with SNA:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Activate PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span></span> <p>You must start PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> to
|
|
take advantage of its data collecting capabilities.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select which network configuration you want to use.</span> <p>Determine
|
|
which network configuration you will use to transmit data. Choose how you
|
|
connect to IBM<sup>®</sup> by
|
|
using a direct dial line, an existing Internet Service Provider (ISP), or
|
|
a virtual private network (VPN). If you want to use ISP or VPN, you must configure
|
|
a Universal Connection.</p>
|
|
<p>If you decide to use the direct dial line to
|
|
report data to IBM,
|
|
you have several choices as to how you configure your network. Select which
|
|
configuration is appropriate for your network, and perform the steps outlined
|
|
for that particular configuration from the Configure PM eServer <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> display:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>As a single server that sends its data directly to IBM.</li>
|
|
<li>As a host server, which means that you want your server to receive performance
|
|
data from other servers (remote servers) and then forward the data to IBM.
|
|
The host server cannot be at a release level that is earlier than other servers.
|
|
In other words, the host server must be at the same release level or later
|
|
than other servers.</li>
|
|
<li>As a remote server, which means that you can send performance data to
|
|
a host server. You identify on the Configure PM eServer <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> display
|
|
that you need a remote server, and then use option 5 (Work with remote <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> systems) from the PM eServer <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> menu to define your remote servers.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Work with remote servers.</span> <p>If you choose to set up
|
|
your network for a host server, you need to identify those servers that will
|
|
send their data to your host server. You can ignore this step if you are using
|
|
a single server or a remote server.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Customize PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span>.</span> <p>After you have configured your network, you need to establish the
|
|
global parameters for the operation of the PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> software.
|
|
You need to define the PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> data
|
|
telephone number if you would like to connect to IBM with a direct dial line.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
