The physical view of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Navigator shows an enterprise as a mapping of platforms, systems, agents, and monitored resources. In a sysplex environment, monitored sysplexes appear between the platform and system levels of the Navigator tree, listed by their managed system names.
Below each sysplex name are
entries that represent a set of common objects
shared by the sysplex that are monitored by Tivoli OMEGAMON XE on z/OS, and
entries that represent z/OS systems or LPARs being monitoring
by Tivoli OMEGAMON XE on z/OS.
Each
entry is associated with one or more workspaces which provide information
on those monitored objects. For example, the Shared DASD Groups Data for Sysplex
entry is associated with the Shared DASD for Groups workspace, which provides
information about sysplex-wide activity of shared DASD devices. From the Shared
DASD for Groups workspace you can link to the Shared DASD Devices workspace,
which displays information about the activity of the shared devices for a
selected group, averaged over all systems in the sysplex.
Under each system name is an
entry for each type of resource monitored by a
Tivoli OMEGAMON XE monitoring agent on that LPAR. For example, if you have
installed both Tivoli OMEGAMON XE on z/OS and Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for IMS,
you will see two entries at this level:
Under each agent entry is an entry for the managed system.
Sysplex managed system names take the form plexname :MVS:SYSPLEX, where plexname is normally the true name of the sysplex, but could be configured to be an alias name for the sysplex.
LPAR managed system names take the form plexname : smfid :MVSSYS, where plexname is normally the true name of the sysplex but could be configured to be an alias name for the sysplex. (This part of the LPAR managed system name typically matches the plexname component of its parent sysplex in the navigation tree.) The smfid component is the true SMF ID for the LPAR being monitored.
To see a description of a particular workspace, or to find instructions for accessing it, select its name in the Contents tab. Workspaces are listed alphabetically by type (sysplex-level or system-level).
