Tom, Look at RMF XP, http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r13/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.zos.r13.erbb200%2Fgpm4cim1.htm, you can download the implementation guide at: ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/eserver/zseries/zos/rmf/rmf_xp_implementation_guide.pdf as “rmfpms” replacement.
Quote: “RMF XP exploits the existing Common Information Model (CIM) instrumentation for AIX and for the Linux distributions (RHEL/SUSE) and does not require any proprietary agent software on the monitored endpoints. The CIM server, as well as the metric providers, are integral parts of the supported AIX and Linux distributions, and therefore no additional software needs to be installed. However, you need to ensure that the CIM servers with their metric providers are properly set up and running on the monitored endpoints. This document helps you in configuring the CIM servers and their metric providers and gives you additional hints and tips on how to optimize your RMF XP configuration.” James Chaplin, ITIL® v3 Foundation Systems Programmer, MVS, zVM & zLinux CA Technologies -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Tom Huegel Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2014 11:21 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Performance Toolkit and zLinux Although zVPS is a fine product and I am sure well worth the price it provides much more than the basic information I am looking for. All I need in my lab on the occasions when someone wants to run a zLINUX guest is provided by the APPLdata and PTK. Thanks Berry.
