Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Storage on z/OS

Manage and monitor your storage systems

IBM® Tivoli® OMEGAMON® XE for Storage on z/OS® enables you to monitor and manage mainframe-attached storage

It combines comprehensive storage monitoring for z/OS I/O subsystem performance and storage availability.

  • Enables you to monitor and manage storage (including DASD and tape devices) and the analysis of two important IBM storage software components: Data Facility Systems Managed Storage and Data Facility Hierarchical Storage Manager (DFHSM)
  • Provides the capability to quickly create commands or schedule actions that maintain and administer DASD storage with a new storage toolkit for DFHSM and DFDSS functions
  • Offers more versatile and granular reporting capabilities using the storage toolkit
  • Improves problem resolution with Dynamic Workspace Linking (DWL) to OMEGAMON XE on z/OS, which enables you to easily navigate between Tivoli Enterprise™ Portal workspaces
  • Adds enhanced problem determination capabilities with new problem-solving workspaces in the Tivoli Enterprise™ Portal (TEP)
  • V4.1.0 is fully globalized and translated into group one languages

Features, advantages and benefits
FeaturesAdvantagesBenefits
Situation editor lets you move beyond simple thresholds and helps easily define complex thresholds, situations and alerts See detailed information about what triggered the alert; Expert Advice suggests possible solutions based on industry best practices Stay on top of both system managed storage (SMS) and non-SMS devices in real-time from a single workspace
Capacity alerts and intuitive charts At-a-glance views reveal space available for allocation within volumes and storage groups Actively manage capacity issues and avoid outages
Volume statistics and performance metrics such as DASD fast-write ratios, cache hit rates, volume contention, resource locks, data collisions, and channel utilization Provides insight into response times and performance data for volumes and storage groups as well as measuring down to the milliseconds spent storing or retrieving a data set Speed device response time and utilization
Data set level performance and space metrics See at the data set level how they are performing and if there are any problems Knowing the device level may not always be enough, trouble shoot at the data set level where the problem may be effecting a specific application
Application monitoring – identify and monitor the data sets that an application is currently using Quickly identify the volume and datasets which and address space is currently using, finding out their performance and availability metrics Isolates where to look for problems, quickly reacting to changes in the application and environment
Channel, Tape, DFHSM and DFSMS monitoring capability Solution provides information for the whole I/O sub-system from the channel levels down to the individual data sets, this includes monitoring of tape/Cart drive information. HSM and SMS information is also available The product provides a wide variety of storage management capability. This is the corner stone solution for the storage management tool box
Intuitive Web browser interface Enables you to monitor the interaction of your storage devices and other systems within a single interface from any location Quickly detect and pinpoint the source of storage problems and trace transactions from one system to another
Take Action helps resolve common problems Use existing scripts or ones easily created from templates Implement resolutions automatically or select and apply manually if preferred
Built-in TN3270/5250 component Go directly to TN3270 applications Built-in components for enhanced data access and integration. No need for extra emulation packages.

New V4.1.0 Release !

IBM® Tivoli® OMEGAMON® XE for Storage on z/OS® combines comprehensive storage monitoring for z/OS I/O sub-system performance and storage availability. With IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Storage, you can monitor and manage mainframe-attached storage, including DASD and tape devices, and the analysis of two important IBM storage software components: Data Facility Systems Managed Storage, which manages the service levels and priorities of datasets based on user created storage goals, and Data Facility Hierarchical Storage Manager (DFHSM). OMEGAMON XE for Storage on z/OS offers a set of tools needed by a storage administrator for day-to-day management of a complex environment.

New Dynamic Workspace Linking (DWL) allows you to easily navigate between Tivoli Enterprise Portal workspaces. The advanced linking of DWL aids problem determination, improves integration across your monitoring solutions, and allows you to quickly determine the root cause of a problem. Predefined cross-product links provided by the OMEGAMON XE products allow you to obtain additional information about systems, subsystems, resources or network components that are being monitored and managed.

  • New storage toolkit for DFHSM and DFDSS functions provide capability to quickly create commands or schedule actions that maintain and administer DASD storage

  • More versatile and granular reporting capabilities using the storage toolkit

  • New problem solving workspaces in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) enhance problem determination capabilities

  • Dynamic Workspace Linking (DWL) to OMEGAMON XE on z/OS improve problem resolution

OMEGAMON XE for Storage V4.1.0 is fully globalized and translated into group one languages.
