Infrastructure Suite for z/vm and Linux The Components

Provisioning and Administering Linux Guests Manage and administer Linux guests/servers via GUI View of all servers graphically Run shell scripts against a server or group of servers Activate or deactivate server or group of servers Login to server directly from GUI View and modify network connections Provision Linux guests/servers Across LPARs or machines Servers - memory and CPU Network connect to Guest LANs or VSWITCHes Storage based on admin-define device pools Customize first boot before TCPI/IP initialized Customize cloning via REXX scripts Real time monitoring High level view of system status via dashboard gauges View storage utilization 7 IBM Infrastructure Suite for z/vm and Linux

IBM Wave for z/vm Provides sophisticated capabilities accessed through an intuitive graphical user interface to simplify and help automate management of z/vm and Linux on z systems virtual servers Monitors and manages virtual servers and resources from a single graphical interface Simplifies and Automates tasks Provisions virtual resources (Guests, Network, Storage) Supports advanced z/vm capabilities such as Single System Image and Live Guest Relocation Allows delegation of administrative capabilities to the appropriate teams A simple, intuitive graphical tool for administration and provisioning for a z/vm environment, supporting Linux virtual servers. 8 IBM Infrastructure Suite for z/vm and Linux

Performance Monitoring and Automation Monitor performance based on best practices Virtual CPU for each guest z/vm processor utilization Spin lock wait Virtual Disk utilization Virtual Storage Utilization with V/R memory ratio Formation and size of eligible list Page and Spool Space Utilization and I/O rates DASD I/O and Minidisk cache usage Resource Constraint Analysis Etc. Use historical data to Size Linux guests for best performance in a hosted environment Understand capacity, etc. 9 IBM Infrastructure Suite for z/vm and Linux

OMEGAMON XE on z/vm and Linux Bringing z/vm and Linux monitoring into the Enterprise View Enterprise-Ready Cloud Monitoring Provides insight into the health and performance of z/vm and Linux Rich collections of attributes monitor thresholds for z/vm and Linux best practices. Reflex automation provides timely resolution and/or notification. Lightweight visibility to the z/vm hypervisor, Linux OS, and Linux Log data in one tool. Deep integration with Cloud and Smarter Infrastructure Suite integrating z/vm and Linux data to the Enterprise view (Cross platform workflow management). Persistent Historical views allows management of real and virtual resources across peak periods and downtimes for clear view of resource usage and constraints. 10 IBM Infrastructure Suite for z/vm and Linux

IBM Wave and OMEGAMON XE on z/vm and Linux IBM Wave for z/vm provides point in time monitoring of virtual server resources from a single graphical interface OMEGAMON XE on z/vm and Linux provides Deeper level monitoring of z/vm Deeper level monitoring of individual Linux guest environments Ability to set service level thresholds and generate events when exceeded Historical view of monitoring data Both OMEGAMON XE on z/vm and Linux and IBM Wave can coexist in customer environments Both gather the data from the Performance Toolkit for z/vm 11 IBM Infrastructure Suite for z/vm and Linux

Operational Monitoring and Automation View and issue commands on consoles of Linux guests and CMS service machines Operations staff monitoring multiple consoles or a central console of alerts System programmers debugging a problem on a guest or service machine Generate alerts and/or automatically recover from Abend, termination, or error messages Service machine disks approaching full Critical user IDs or guests being logged off or entering error state Spool and/or page space approaching full Schedule automated system maintenance procedures Spool cleanup based on policies Minidisk cleanup (from logs), including archiving Orderly startup and shutdown Relocation of critical guests to another SSI member Backups of z/vm system 12 IBM Infrastructure Suite for z/vm and Linux

Operations Manager for z/vm Increase productivity Authorized users to view and interact with monitored virtual machines without logging onto them Multiple users view/interact with a virtual machine simultaneously Monitor page and spool usage Improve system availability Monitor virtual machines and processes Take automated actions based on console messages Reduce problems due to operator error Respond to system events (user state changes) Schedule tasks Console monitoring Service Virtual Machine being monitored Idle monitor View & interact with consoles View spool files Automation Routine activities done more effectively with minimal operations staff Schedule tasks to occur on a regular basis Operations Manager for z/vm Take action Console monitoring Service Virtual Machine being monitored Integration Fulfill take action requests from performance monitoring products (e.g. OMEGAMON) Send alerts to email, central event management systems (e.g. Netcool\OMNIbus), etc. 13 IBM Infrastructure Suite for z/vm and Linux

IBM Wave for z/vm and Operations Manager for z/vm IBM Wave for z/vm provides management via an interactive GUI interface for: Monitoring of virtual server resources z/vm and Linux administrator tasks Delegating responsibilities to Linux administrators and/or clients to co-manage their environment Provisioning of Linux guests Basic performance information Operations Manager for z/vm provides operational monitoring & automation In the background Monitoring of console messages for z/vm service machines and Linux guests Monitoring state information for z/vm service machines and Linux guests Monitoring spool and page space on the z/vm system Automated responses to these monitors when they are triggered Interactive when needed View and interact with live service machine and Linux guest consoles View and manage spool files Complementary solutions Use Operations Manager to monitor Wave service machines Use Operations Manager to automatically initiate tasks in IBM Wave via the IBM Wave CLI 14 IBM Infrastructure Suite for z/vm and Linux
