Deployment guides

Edit online

IBM Tivoli Management Services on z/OS is a complex monitoring system that consists of many components and features. For one who is new to the system, it could be hard to figure out the proper flow to install and configure various components. To help TMS beginners build a better understanding of how the monitoring infrastructure is set up, this section provides several deployment guides that describe different deployment scenarios. These guides are mostly for Proof of Concept purpose, and therefore not all features are introduced. You can follow the scenarios introduced in these guides to learn the deployment process at first, and then exploit additional features based on your needs.

You can find the following guides:

Table 1. Location of components in different guides
	Hub TEMS	Remote TEMS	TEPS	TEP
First time deployment guide	z/OS	z/OS	N/A	N/A
Cross-platform quick deployment guide	Linux	z/OS	Linux	Linux
Extension guide	Linux	z/OS	Linux	Linux

Note: Both First time deployment guide and Cross-platform quick deployment guide help you set up a simple environment with basic monitoring features. The main difference is the location of the Hub TEMS and other components on distributed system. Therefore, if you are setting up an environment across platforms, be sure to take Cross-platform quick deployment guide for reference.
