IBM z13s Technical Guide
IBM zAware and Tivoli® Service Management can be integrated by using the IBM zAware
API to provide the following capabilities:
򐂰 Provide visibility into IBM zAware anomalies by using Event Management
򐂰
Improve mean time to repair (MTTR) through integration with existing problem
determination and performance monitoring tools
򐂰 Identify system errors and eliminate subsequent occurrences through automation and
more sophisticated analysis
B.2.1 Hardware requirements overview
IBM zAware runs on a client-visible logical partition (LPAR) with the following resources:
򐂰
LPAR type: zACI
򐂰
Shared or dedicated Open Systems Adapter (OSA) port
򐂰
Shared or dedicated Integrated Facilities for Linux (IFLs) or central processors (CPs)
򐂰
Storage and memory
For more information, see B.4.2, “IBM zAware operating requirements” on page 467.
Figure B-1 shows how IBM zAware complements an existing environment.

B.2.2 Value of IBM zAware
Early detection and focused diagnosis can help improve the time that is needed to recover
from complex z/OS problems. These problems can be cross sysplex, across a set of z
Systems servers, and beyond central processing complex (CPC) boundaries. IBM zAware is
enhanced to identify unusual system behavior of Linux on z Systems images running natively
or as a guest on z/VM.
