Deploying IBM Z Resource Discovery Visualization Service

Before you integrate IBM Z® Resource Discovery Visualization Service with IBM® Service Management Unite, you must deploy IBM Z Resource Discovery Visualization Service.

Procedure

  1. Download the appropriate image depending on the system that hosts the container.
  2. Load the downloaded image by running the following command:
    docker load --input ./zvs-amd-1.0.6.tar
    Note: The images are created by using Podman. Images that are created with Podman have a localhost/ prefix to the tag name of the image. To change the tag, run the following command:
    docker tag localhost/old tag new tag
  3. Run the image:
    podman run \
      --name choose the container name \
      -e ZRDDS_SERVER_ADDRESS=domain+port \
      -e OMG_SERVER_ADDRESS=domain+port \
      -dp desired port:443 \
      image name
    You must specify two environment variables:
    ZRDDS_SERVER_ADDRESS
    Specifies the address where you run your IBM Z Resource Discovery Data Service container.
    OMG_SERVER_ADDRESS
    Specifies the address of Z Data Manipulation Service server.
    If your IBM Z Resource Discovery Data Service container runs on https://4.4.4.4:8888 and OMEGAMON® server runs on https://4.4.4.4:16311, and you want to run your application on port 3001, run the following command:
    podman run \
      --name zvs \
      -e ZRDDS_SERVER_ADDRESS=4.4.4.4:8888 \
      -e OMG_SERVER_ADDRESS=4.4.4.4:16311 \
      -dp 3001:443 \
      zvs:1.0.6
    Ensure that you do not add the protocol to ZRDDS_SERVER_ADDRESS and OMG_SERVER_ADDRESS environment variables. You can visit https://localhost:3001/ for secure protocol.
