a host server</h1>
<div><p>A host server receives performance data from other servers and
then forwards the data to IBM<sup>®</sup> .</p>
<div class="section">Here are the steps that you need to follow to configure PM <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> for a host server only if PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> gathers data and transmits data
over SNA:</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Configure PM eServer™ <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> display
on your host server</span> <ul><li>Type <span class="uicontrol">CFGPM400</span> from the command line.</li>
<li>Specify *YES for the <span class="uicontrol">Send performance data to IBM</span> field.</li>
<li>Specify *YES for the <span class="uicontrol">Receive performance data</span> field.</li>
<li>Accept the default library of QMPGDATA.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Work with Remote <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> Systems
display on your host server</span> <ul><li>Press F6 (Create) to identify which servers will send their data to your
host server.</li>
<li>Complete the fields and press Enter.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<div class="section"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The following situation occurs only if PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> gathers
data and transmits data over SNA. If you have a network of systems, it is
recommended that you use the Universal Connection and Management Central in <span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span> to gather and transmit the
data for those systems.</div>
<p>PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> automatically
schedules the transmission of data from the primary server to IBM the day after
data is received from a remote server. If the automatic scheduling does not
fit your work management scheme, you can manually schedule the transmission
of the data from the primary server.</p>
<p>Here is a tip that you should keep
in mind when scheduling the transmission of your data. Throughout the week,
evenly schedule the transmission of data to the primary server. This action
minimizes the performance impact on the primary server. For example, in a
network of twelve servers, you might have three groups of four systems. You
can schedule each group to send their data on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
This evenly distributes the amount of data that is sent to the primary server.</p>
<p>If
you decide that the host server setup is not what you want, you can choose
another SNA configuration option.</p>
<p>Once you have configured your servers,
you are ready to do the other tasks to manage PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span>.</p>
