B.3.4 Ibm Zaware Graphical User Interface - IBM z13s Technical Manual

The first iteration of this work requires you to mark each message to be ignored on a per
system basis. That is, for each message that you want to ignore, you must mark that
particular message on each system for which IBM zAware is to ignore the message. You can
choose from one of two types of ignore message: Until the next training period occurs
(automatic or manual train) or Forever.

B.3.4 IBM zAware graphical user interface

IBM zAware creates XML data with the status of the z/OS, Linux image, and details about the
message traffic. This data is rendered by the web server that runs as a part of IBM zAware.
The web server is available by using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer or Mozilla
Firefox).
IBM zAware provides an easy-to-use, browser-based GUI with relative weighting and color
coding. For IBM messages, IBM zAware GUI has a link to the message description that often
includes a corrective action for the issue that is highlighted by the message.
B.3.5 IBM zAware complements your existing tools
Compared to existing tools, IBM zAware works with relatively little customization. It does not
depend on other solutions or manual coding of rules, and is always enabled to watch your
system. The XML output that is created by IBM zAware is consumed by existing system
monitoring tools, such as IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for z/OS and IBM Tivoli NetView® for
z/OS, by using published APIs.
B.4 IBM zAware prerequisites
This section describes the hardware and software requirements for IBM zAware.
B.4.1 IBM zAware features and ordering
IBM zAware is available with IBM z13s, IBM z13, IBM EC12 (zEC12), and BC12 (zBC12)
models.
IBM zAware Version 2: IBM zAware Version 2 partition is not supported on hardware
earlier than z13. DR configuration must use same generation HW (z13/z13s) for primary
and DR IBM zAware host.
IBM zAware partition is not supported on a CPC running in Dynamic Partition Manager
DPM) Mode. For more information, see Appendix E, "IBM Dynamic Partition Manager" on
