Planning your configuration

Effective preparation and planning make deployment go more quickly and smoothly. To prepare for deployment, review the preinstallation requirements and familiarize yourself with the product components and architecture.

After you review the Preinstallation Requirements and Instructions and the Quick Start Guide, review the planning decisions in the Planning a first deployment section of OMEGAMON Shared Documentation.

If you are a first-time user, OMEGAMON Shared Documentation also provides a First-time deployment guide with step-by-step instructions that you can use to create your first runtime environment. To help you plan and configure your environment, OMEGAMON Shared Documentation also provides upgrading information, detailed PARMGEN information, and end-to-end instructions of various configuration scenarios.

Configuration Manager provides step-by-step instructions that you can use to create your runtime environment from a set of parameters that you specify.

Become familiar with the information in OMEGAMON Shared Documentation because it will be your main resource for planning and configuring your environment. OMEGAMON Shared Documentation contains information that is common to the deployment and configuration of all OMEGAMON® monitoring agents, including IBM® Z OMEGAMON for JVM, and Tivoli® Management Services components on z/OS®. The documentation also provides the information that you need to configure your runtime environment based on various implementation scenarios.

After you review the OMEGAMON Shared Documentation, use the IBM Z OMEGAMON for JVM planning and configuration documentation for product-specific information.
