Preparing for Using the Export Tool
This section explains how to prepare for using the Export Tool.
Requirements for Using the Export Tool
The following components are required to use the Export Tool:
•
a Windows computer or a UNIX computer
The Export Tool runs on Windows computers and UNIX computers that can
run Storage Navigator. If your Windows or UNIX computer is unable to run
Storage Navigator, your computer is unable to run the Export Tool. For
detailed information about computers that can run Storage Navigator, see
the Storage Navigator User's Guide.
•
Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
To be able to use the Export Tool, you must install Java Runtime
Environment on your Windows or UNIX computer. If your computer runs
Storage Navigator, JRE is already installed on your computer and you can
install the Export Tool. If your computer does not run Storage Navigator
but contains an appropriate version of JRE, you can install the Export Tool
on your computer.
The JRE version required for running the Export Tool is the same as the JRE
version required for running Storage Navigator. For detailed information
about the JRE version required for running Storage Navigator, see the
Storage Navigator User's Guide.
A user ID exclusively for use with the Export Tool
If you want to use the Export Tool, you must create a user ID that will be
used exclusively with the Export Tool. When you create the user ID, note
the following:
– Permissions of USP V/VM programs
If you use the Export Tool only to save the monitoring data into files, do
not assign any permission to the user ID for use with the Export Tool. If
a user ID having permission is used with the Export Tool, the storage
system configuration might be changed in an unfavorable way by an
unidentified user.
If you use the Export Tool not only to save monitoring data but also to
start or stop monitoring and to change the gathering interval by the set
subcommand, the user ID needs to have at least one of permissions for
Performance Monitor, TrueCopy, TrueCopy for IBM z/OS, Universal
Replicator, and Universal Replicator for IBM z/OS.
– User types
You can specify any user type for the user ID for use with the Export
Tool.
If you specify "storage administrator" for the user ID, all the monitoring
data described from Table 7-2 to Table 7-17 can be saved into files.
