Setting up a Capacity Provisioning domain
The scope of a z/OS Capacity Provisioning system is referred to as a Capacity Provisioning Domain, or simply a domain.
To set up a domain, follow these steps:
- Plan the domain set up: Define your configuration settings such as the name of the domain, prepare your security and collect information about your system.
- Define the Provisioning Manager: Prepare your z/OS system to start up a Provisioning Manager.
- Setup the Capacity Provisioning Management ConsoleSetup z/OSMF: The Capacity Provisioning task in z/OSMF provides a browser-based management console for working with the Provisioning Manager on a workstation.
Note: The second and third steps can be performed in either
order.
Before customizing Capacity Provisioning, set up the prerequisite components:
- Customize your monitoring product, such as z/OS® Resource Measurement Facility™ (RMF™), including the Distributed Data Server (DDS). For more information, see the z/OS RMF User's Guide.
- Customize the z/OS Common Information Model (CIM) element, including the RMF CIM Monitoring providers or equivalent providers from other monitoring products.
When you set up the Provisioning Manager, you must create security definitions and CIM definitions. For more background information about the security definitions, see z/OS RACF® Security Administrators Guide, and for CIM definitions, see z/OS Common Information Model User's Guide.
