7. PARAMETERS

Defining product parameters requires that you gain an
understanding of your data center and its needs, and that you
translate that understanding into CA MICS parameters.

This chapter requests that you:

o  Make several policy decisions
o  Complete various worksheets
o  Translate the worksheet entries into the corresponding
   CA MICS parameter library entries

These activities represent the major portion of the product
installation process.

The CA MICS system administrator can use this chapter, along
with the PIOM, as a detailed reference when installing or
modifying the product.  Chapters 2 and 3 of the PIOM document
the mechanics of the CA MICS installation process and include
checklists that describe each installation step.
