Scenario QCF05: Configuring a full RTE with a remote monitoring server

If you have already configured a hub monitoring server, you can configure additional remote monitoring servers in their own runtime environments (RTEs). OMEGAMON® on z/OS® and OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS monitoring agents are required to run in the same address space as a monitoring server, so one must be configured in each RTE in which either of these agents is running. Even if you are not running either of these agents, but you are monitoring numerous RTEs, you might want to configure additional monitoring servers to distribute the work load and reduce network traffic. The remote monitoring servers must be configured to connect to a hub monitoring server.

About this task

In this scenario, you configure a full RTE which contains both a remote monitoring server and several monitoring agents. A full runtime environment (RTE) contains a full set of dedicated libraries, consisting of both RTE-specific libraries and a copy of the SMP/E installation read-only libraries that are eligible for sharing with other RTEs. You can use an IBM-provided model @MDLRF to set up this RTE, or configure it from scratch.
