Trending Trending data lets you plan for additional capacity when needed. Optionally, your performance data can be uploaded into a tool called the IBM Systems Workload Estimator (WLE) to size for additional growth, server consolidations, or new applications. The combination of PM for Power Systems and IBM Systems Workload Estimator give you an automated, maintenance-free systems management strategy to manage performance and plan for future capacity. -

The data is encrypted and sent to a secure IBM site. IBM automatically formats the raw data into reports, tables, and graphs that are easy to understand and interpret. You can review your performance data as often as you choose. -
Page 8: Transmission Consistency / History
Transmission Consistency / History It is important that systems / partitions transmit the PM for Power Systems data to IBM on a consistent basis. The collection agent and IBM Service Agent are designed to automatically continuously collect and periodically transmit the data to IBM; however, the possibility exists that transmissions may not occur for a variety of reasons. -
Page 9: Multiple Operating System Support
The management of your system is simplified with the ability to stay abreast of utilization. This is true even if you run multiple partitions in different time zones with a mixture of IBM i and AIX. If your system is logically partitioned (LPAR), we recommend that you enable PM Agent on all partitions. -
