2.2.1 List of Tasks

The following tasks must be accomplished in order to prepare
your site for installing and operating CA MICS.  They are
summarized here from the detail in the beginning of this
chapter for your convenience.

    Task 2-1:  Ensure that the CA LMP service of CA Common
               Services for z/OS is installed and operational
               before CA MICS installation.

    Task 2-2:  We recommend that a separate SAS library be
               established for exclusive use by the CA MICS
               database update process.  While a higher
               level of SAS may be used for inquiries into
               the database, CA MICS is extremely sensitive
               to the version of SAS with which the database
               is updated.

    Task 2-3:  Ensure that the data collection processes in
               place are adequate to support CA MICS.

    Task 2-4:  Task 2-4 is necessary only if you will be
               using the CA MICS Space Analyzer.

               To begin DASD data collection, ensure that the
               CA MICS Space Collector is installed and
               operational.  See the Space Collector Option
               Guide for installation and operation
               instructions.
