Customizing your z/OS system for the z/OSMF plug-ins
This chapter describes the z/OS® system customization steps that are required for enabling the optional plug-ins in z/OSMF. Which steps you will need to complete depend on which plug-ins you plan to deploy on your system.
Review the system setup requirements for each plug-in, as described in this topic. When doing the work, you might find it easier to start with plug-ins that require little or no system customization, such as Network Configuration Assistant or ISPF, and then progress to plug-ins with more extensive requirements, such as Incident Log.
Based on your selection of plug-ins, you must complete the associated system prerequisites, as
appropriate. The requirements for each plug-in are described in the following topics:
- Using FTP in your network
- Reviewing your CIM server setup
- Updating z/OS for the Capacity Provisioning plug-in
- Updating z/OS for the IBM zERT Network Analyzer Plug-in
- Updating z/OS for the Incident Log plug-in
- Updating z/OS for the ISPF plug-in
- Updating z/OS for the Network Configuration Assistant plug-in
- Updating z/OS for the Resource Monitoring Plug-in
- Updating z/OS for the Software Deployment plug-in
- Updating z/OS for the Sysplex Management plug-in
- Updating z/OS for the Workload Management plug-in
- Updating z/OS for the z/OS Operator Consoles task
Note: After a plug-in is enabled, you might later decide to remove it. To do so, edit
the IZUPRMxx parmlib member and remove the plug-in identifier from the PLUGINS statement. Then,
restart the z/OSMF server. This action removes the plug-in tasks from the z/OSMF navigation area.
Any residual data that is associated with the plug-in is saved in z/OSMF, in case you decide to
enable it again later.
