IBM licensed programs: System management products and services 755
Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486LPSM.fm
Benefits
You can send iSeries commands to remote iSeries servers using MSS without
signing on. This is intended for unplanned operations to be performed on one or
more remote iSeries servers. An example is to delete a particular file or library
that is found to no longer be in use. This support is generally equivalent to the
NetView Remote Operations Manager MVS support and works with either
NetView Remote Operations Agent/400 or MSS.
System Manager integrates with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
management products, such as NetView for AIX. An SNMP manager can
monitor for alerts, obtain system information, and execute remote commands if
the iSeries server is to be managed from an SNMP platform. The central site
system does not need to have all software that a remote site has installed to
service the remote site. This allows savings on direct access storage device
(DASD), management, and time at the central site.
Features
System Manager for iSeries provides central site control for:
Remote iSeries problem management
This includes remote problem analysis, comparison of existing available
PTFs, automatic distribution of selected PTFs, and a single connection to IBM
electronic support for new problem reporting, to IBM or Solution Developers
for processing.
Central site packaging of Solution Developer applications for iSeries Licensed
Program management support
This enables Solution Developer applications to receive the same system
support as IBM licensed programs.
Central site distribution and change management support for remote iSeries
servers using MSS, remote pSeries (RS/6000) systems using NetView
DM/6000, remote PS/2® systems using NetView DM/2, and remote Novell
NetWare Servers using NVDM for NetWare
System Manager permits the central site iSeries server to define, schedule,
and track software distribution (change management) requests sent to iSeries
servers with Managed System Services for iSeries, NetView DM/2, or
NetView DM/6000 installed or Novell NetWare. These change management
requests include sending, receiving, and deleting files, programs, other
iSeries objects (libraries, save files, message files, documents, folders,
PTFs), and non-iSeries (OS/2 and RISC/6000) files, programs and software.
The change management functions support the IFS.
