Features That Help You Manage Your IP Resources

Two main features are available to help you manage the IP resources defined in your regions: monitor commands and menus.

For general monitoring, you can use the IP Resource Monitor (/IPMON shortcut), which gives you at-a-glance view of the status of the monitored resources. When the status of a resource indicates problems, you can use commands to get more information and perform diagnosis.

If you know the specific resources, you can work with them using menus. The Network Diagnosis : Primary Menu (/DIAG shortcut) has options that let you access the various types of resources.

Example: Get Traffic Information About a TCP/IP Stack Using the IP Resource Monitor

The IP Monitor indicates that the TCPIP01 STACK-class resource is not in its normal state. You want to find out whether excessive traffic is causing the problem.

The TRS command lets you display the most recent traffic statistics on a stack. You enter the command against TCPIP01 and select the type of statistics you want.

Example: Get Information About a TCP/IP Stack Using Menus

A user raises an issue that the CCI-Appls application is slow. You want to find out whether excessive traffic is causing the problem.

The B - IP Business Applications option (/BIZ) on the Network Diagnosis : Primary Menu displays the Business Applications menu, from which you can select the TRS option to display the most recent traffic statistics by application:

Note: If you know the stack that the application is using, you can also get the information through the ST (Stacks) option on the Network Diagnosis : Primary Menu, which takes you to a menu for STACK-class resources.
