Software requirements
Before you use IBM Z Monitoring Suite, ensure that the requirements for operating systems, software, and hardware are met.
For detailed information about the system requirements, go to Software Product Compatibility Reports and select IBM Z Monitoring Suite 1.4.0.
- The cross-product features include support for near-term history and cross-product embedded data in the OMEGAMON Enhanced 3270 user interface, a minimum requirement for z/OS® V2.1 or higher, and support for PARMGEN configuration method only.
- All members of the IBM Z Monitoring Suite require that Tivoli Management Services be at a minimum of version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 6 on z/OS.
Monitoring agents and the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server that the agents report to must be at the same version and maintenance level of the framework. Upgrade the Tivoli Data Warehouse components at the same time you upgrade the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
If you are not enabling support for self-describing agents, you must also install application support for the highest level of each monitoring agent at the hub monitoring server, at the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and at the desktop client. For planning purposes, these upgrade paths require Tivoli Management Services V6.3.0 Fix Pack 6.
