Description Tivoli OMEGAMON for z/os Management Suite V5.1 offers a broad real-time and historical performance and availability management function for the z/os operating system, networks, and storage subsystems. It uses a common GUI and e3270 interface that is capable of integrating information from any of the three areas on a single workspace for in in-depth analysis. The GUI gives you composite alerts from multiple areas to quickly identify root problems, suggests actions to address problems, and fosters greater operator communication for a more efficient way of managing the z/os platform. IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 2

Specific values for operating systems, networks, and storage for subject matter experts (SMEs) and other users of the z/os operating system include the following: Workload views of any address space running on z/os Bottleneck and impact views of: Workloads and resources Work load manager CPU and specialty processors Storage and memory Simple I/O subsystem view Loop detection Operator alerts Sysplex components Structures These are just some of the many metrics of z/os that can be monitored. The solution also includes action you need to address problems that are detected, minimizing mean time to correction or avoiding costly outages. The solution gives you visibility into TCP/IP, VTAM and NCP networks on System z. Additional capabilities include monitoring network activity, including connections, ports, gateways, VIPA and DVIPA, hypersockets, OSA, and more. To diagnose and resolve performance issues, you can take actions such as ping, tracerte, nslookup, and drop connections. Finally, tight integration with Tivoli NetView for z/os offers powerful system availability and automation for maximum uptime. z/os storage performance monitoring gives you detailed information and actions within the z/os storage subsystem. You can monitor performance and availability of applications and their I/O, channels, control units, volumes, datasets, tape, virtual tape system (VTS), DFSMS constructs, and DFSMShsm activity. Toolkit functions for day-to-day storage management functions and integration are available with a wide variety of z/os storage management utilities. The integration provided by Tivoli OMEGAMON for z/os Management Suite is world class, combining z/os, network, and storage information on a single workspace from both GUI and e3270 interfaces.

It can be extended to any OMEGAMON or Tivoli Monitoring solution as well as other IBM offerings to create an efficient, enterprise-wide management center fostering an environment where not only IT hardware resources but personnel effectiveness can be increased. Product positioning The overriding value of Tivoli OMEGAMON XE products is the broad z/os platform performance and availability management capability covering the operating system and subsystems and storage areas. The integrated solution can separately or in an integrated manner manage the z/os operating system, subsystems, and storage areas. For example, the Tivoli OMEGAMON family of products utilizes the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) to provide the same graphical interface, across the family, which allows end users from different domains (storage, operating systems, and networks) to utilize the same user interface and leverage information from multiple areas to perform management of their z/os environment. The enhanced 3270 user interface, which is a major part of these V5.1 releases, provides this same capability on what is commonly called a green screen. Problems detected for performance or availability which are detected by the OMEGAMON products can be integrated to other Tivoli products in the Systems Management environment.

Licensing metric definitions and pricing examples Licensing metric definitions Engine An engine is also referred to as a central processor (CP) or processor. Engines for traditional workloads are called General Purpose CPs. Engines for Linux TM workloads are called Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) engines or Linux-only engines. Engines for Coupling Facility workloads are called Integrated Coupling Facility (ICF) engines. IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 5

IBM Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) This optional facility enables additional processing capacity exclusively for Linux workload, with no effect on the model designation of a System z or OS/390 server. Consequently, executing Linux workload on the IBM IFL will not, in most cases, result in any increased IBM software charges for z/os, OS/390, VM, VSE, or TPF operating systems or applications. There is, as indicated, a charge associated with the IFL, and there may also be a charge for applications that run on the IFL. The IFL may be dedicated to a single Linux-mode logical partition or it may be shared by multiple Linux-mode logical partitions. Installations should note that the Linux workspace enabled by this facility will not support any of the S/390 traditional operating systems ( OS/390, TPF, VSE, or VM). Only Linux applications or Linux operating in conjunction with the Virtual Image Facility, an environment that operates within a logical partition or in native S/390 mode and provides the capability to create multiple Linux images, is supported by the IBM S/390 IFL MSU Millions of Service Units (MSU) is defined as millions of CPU service units per hour; the measure of capacity used to describe the computing power of the hardware processors on which S/390 or System z software runs. Processor MSU values are determined by the hardware vendor, IBM, or Software Compatible Vendors (SCVs). For more detailed information about System z software pricing, go to http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/resources/swprice/ Standby or backup systems For programs running or resident on backup machines, IBM defines three types of situations: cold, warm and hot. In cold and warm situations, a separate entitlement for the copy on the backup machine is normally not required and typically no additional charge applies. In a hot backup situation, the customer needs to acquire other licenses or entitlements sufficient for that server. All programs running in backup mode must be solely under the customer's control, even if running at another enterprise's location. As a practice, the following are definitions and allowable actions concerning the copy of the program used for backup purposes: Cold: A copy of the program may reside, for backup purposes, on a machine as long as the program is not started. There is no additional charge for this copy. Warm: A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine and is started, but is idling, and is not doing any work of any kind. There is no additional charge for this copy. Hot: A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine, is started, and is doing work. The customer must acquire a license or entitlement(s) for this copy and there will generally be an additional charge. Doing work includes, for example, production, development, program maintenance, and testing. It also could include other activities such as mirroring of transactions, updating of files, synchronization of programs, data, or other resources (for example, active linking with another machine, program, database or other resource, and so on), or any activity or configurations that would allow an active hot switch or other synchronized switch-over between programs, databases, or other resources to occur. In the case of a program or system configuration that is designed to support a high availability environment by using various techniques (for example, duplexing, mirroring of files or transactions, maintaining a heartbeat, active linking with another machine, program, database, or other resource,), the program is considered to be doing work in the hot situation and a license or entitlement must be obtained. IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 6

Value Units A Value Unit (VU) is a unit of measure by which the Program can be licensed. Value Unit entitlements are based on the quantity of a specific designated measurement, for example MSUs, Users, Engines, Tape Drives, etc., for the given software. Licensee must obtain sufficient entitlements for the number of Value Units required for Licensee's environment as specified in the specific Program terms. The Value Unit entitlements are specific to the Program and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with other Value Unit entitlements of another program. Pricing examples System z software pricing examples (MSU based) The pricing example below should be used to determine required license entitlements for Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for z/os. System z server: 1,500 MSU System z server All products in this example employ Value Unit slope VUE007 (VUE = Value Unit Exhibit). If the customer has installed 1,500 MSUs, the applicable number of Value Units will be: MSUs Value Units/MSU Value Units Base 3 1.00 3.00 Tier A 42.45 18.90 Tier B 130.36 46.80 Tier C 140.27 37.80 Tier D 1,185.20 237.00 Total 1,500 343.50 When calculating the total number of Value Units, the sum is rounded up to the next integer. So the customer will need to license 344 Value Units in this example. Value Units for non-msu-based S/390 processors: System Value Units/System MP3000 H30 6 MP3000 H50 8 MP3000 H70 12 ESL Models 2 Value Units for IBM 9672 processors are based upon the full capacity of these systems. This is applicable to all System z systems measured on MSU capacity. Information on MSU capacities can be found in the IBM System/370, System/390 and System z Machine Exhibit, Z125-3901. Ordering information Consult your IBM representative. Value Unit exhibit VUE007 MSUs MSUs minimum maximum Value Units/MSU Base 1 3 1 Tier A 4 45 0.45 Tier B 46 175 0.36 Tier C 176 315 0.27 Tier D 316 + 0.2 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 7

Value Units for mainframes without MSU ratings: Hardware Value Units/machine MP3000 H30 6 MP3000 H50 8 MP3000 H70 12 ESL models 2 Ordering example The total number of Value Units is calculated according to the following example. If your required license capacity is 1,500 MSUs for your selected System z IPLA product, the applicable Value Units would be: Translation from MSUs to Value Units MSUs * Value Units/MSU = Value Units Base 3 * 1.00 = 3.00 Tier A 42 *.45 = 18.90 Tier B 130 *.36 = 46.80 Tier C 140 *.27 = 37.80 Tier D 1,185 *.20 = 237.00 Total 1,500 343.50 When calculating the total number of Value Units, the sum is to be rounded up to the next integer. Current licensees New licensees Orders for new licenses will be accepted now. Shipment will begin on the planned availability date.

Statement of good security practices IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered destroyed or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party. IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 12

IBM Electronic Services IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent. The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems. The Electronic Service Agent TM is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
