9. Configure the TCP/IP protocol for GB Ethernet:
A. Define the z/OS I/O configuration for the OSA-ExpressCard:
- Define channel path ID for OSA-Express channel with type=OSA
- Define OSA-Express control unit with type=OSA
- Define 2 OSA-Express devices
- Define Unit Addresses for the Control Unit
(2 Devices for LCS (D118,D119)
B. Customize the OSA-Express Feature through OSA/SF or TSO.
C. Configure the MPC interface using the DEVICE, LINK, HOME,
GATEWAY, and START statements in the TCP/IP Profile Dataset. Jumbo
frames are recommended if network hardware supports it (MTU = 8992).
D. Configure the AIX or NT network connection.
E. Test the connection using ping or oping.
* Pre-Install Check*
10. Test the TCP/IP configuration using the TCP/IP HOMETEST facility. This looks for
errors in the configuration.
* Pre-Install Check*
11. Setup the RRS subsystem and monoplex environment
.
DB2 Stored Procedures
used by SAP exploit the RRS Attach Facility. Configure a DASD only logstream if
running in a monoplex mode. Allocate Coupling Datasets and System Logger datasets.
12. Review the Pre-Installation Activities and Administration C hapters (3 and 4) in the
SAP Planning Guide for SAP NetWeaver for IBM DB2 UDB for z/OS.
13. Cache the DB2 User Catalog (catalogs the SAP tablespaces and indexspaces) in a
Data Space accessed through VLF. To do this add the following to the COFVLFxx
parmlib member:
CLASS NAME(IGGCAS)
EMAJ(name of user catalog dataset)
14. Switch off unnecessary traces. Activate SMF type 70-79 and 100-102 records.
15. Use the IBM Health Checker for z/OS and Sysplex Tool. The IBM Health Checker
for z/OS and Sysplex is a tool that checks the current active z/OS and sysplex settings
and definitions for an image and compares their values to those either suggested by
IBM or defined by you, as your criteria. The objective of the IBM Health Checker for
z/OS and Sysplex is to identify potential problems before they impact your availability,
or in worst cases, cause outages. This tool runs on all z/OS releases.
It is available at www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/downloads and is a part of
the base release as of z/OS 1.7 .
16. After the SAP installation is complete setup and install the SAP Operating System
Collector saposcol , the CCMS agent SAPCCMSR, and the SAP DB2 Stored Procedure
