Ibm Zaware Complements An Existing Environment; B.2.1 Hardware Requirements Overview - IBM z13s Technical Manual

IBM zAware and Tivoli® Service Management can be integrated by using the IBM zAware
API to provide the following capabilities:
Provide visibility into IBM zAware anomalies by using Event Management
Improve mean time to repair (MTTR) through integration with existing problem
determination and performance monitoring tools
Identify system errors and eliminate subsequent occurrences through automation and
more sophisticated analysis

B.2.1 Hardware requirements overview

IBM zAware runs on a client-visible logical partition (LPAR) with the following resources:
LPAR type: zACI
Shared or dedicated Open Systems Adapter (OSA) port
Shared or dedicated Integrated Facilities for Linux (IFLs) or central processors (CPs)
Storage and memory
For more information, see B.4.2, "IBM zAware operating requirements" on page 467.
Figure B-1 shows how IBM zAware complements an existing environment.

B.2.2 Value of IBM zAware
Early detection and focused diagnosis can help improve the time that is needed to recover
from complex z/OS problems. These problems can be cross sysplex, across a set of z
Systems servers, and beyond central processing complex (CPC) boundaries. IBM zAware is
enhanced to identify unusual system behavior of Linux on z Systems images running natively
or as a guest on z/VM.
