Customizing z/OS services for OSA data collection

Before you can use the Open Systems Adapter (OSA) views, ensure that you have completed the required customization tasks.

You can enable data collection for the Open Systems Adapter (OSA) views by configuring the OSA support and setting up the SNMP TCP/IP subagent.

Note

You must configure your SNMPD.CONF or PW.SRC file so that the SNMP agent can accept requests from IP address 127.0.0.1 (Loopback). MainView for IP sends requests from IP address 127.0.0.1 to collect OSA statistics through SNMP. For more information about configuring the SNMP agent, see the IBM z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide.

When you use OSA-Express Direct Support, the IOBSNMP address space is required to run with OSNMPD.

You complete the following tasks to configure the OSA data collection service:

  1. Configure the OSA support as instructed in the IBM z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide.
  2. Set up the SNMP TCP/IP subagent as instructed in the IBM S/390: OSA-Express Customer’s Guide and Reference.
