Configuring additional features

After you complete the postinstallation tasks, you can configure additional features to add more functions to your Copy Services Manager environment.

The following topics provide instructions for Copy Services Manager to connect to a z/OS host system. The Copy Services Manager server can be running on either a different z/OS server or a Copy Services Manager server.

Enabling a host name or IP address connection to a z/OS host system
You can use a host name or IP address to connect to IBM® z/OS® host systems in Copy Services Manager regardless of the operating system on which the application is installed.
Preparing to use HyperSwap from z/OS
Before you can use HyperSwap® with Copy Services Manager, you must configure z/OS to use HyperSwap.
Configuring a secure communication between HyperSwap and the client
Create a certificate authority (CA) for TLS and prepare the CA for export to the client for server certificate authenticity.
Importing a certificate for a z/OS host connection by using the GUI
You can upload a certificate for a z/OS host connection from within the Copy Services Manager GUI.
Creating and deploying a policy file for Application Transparent Transport Layer Security
Application Transparent Transport Layer Security (AT-TLS) is a service that is provided by the z/OS Communication Server Policy Agent (PAGENT) and the TCP/IP stack. The AT-TLS service manages connections on behalf of applications that are running on the z/OS operating system. You create the AT-TLS policy file, install the configuration files, and upload them to the necessary z/OS system, for a host connection.
Verifying the z/OS system host connection
Use the Copy Services Manager GUI to verify that a host can connect to a z/OS system.
