7. PARAMETERS


Defining the product parameters requires that you gain the
necessary understanding of your data center and its needs
and 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 administrator should use this chapter as a
detailed reference when installing or modifying the product
in conjunction with the PIOM.  Chapters 2 and 3 of the PIOM
document the mechanics of the installation process and
include checklists that describe each installation step.
