How to Tailor CA MSM Installation for CA OPS/MVS

During the MSM installation, step 2 requires that you determine which type of installation you wish to perform. The following explains your choices:

• OPS install

  Installs only the base component

• Full install

  Installs the base component, OPSLOG Webview, and CA NSM SSM CA OPS/MVS (SSMO)

• OPS with OPSLOG Webview feature

  Installs the base component with OPSLOG Webview

• OPS with System State Monitor Option

  Installs the base component with SSMO

MSM installation step 4 is the CSI definition and Target Repository selection. Step 4 contains three parts of which part 2 requires the following user input criteria:

• For the base installation of CA OPS/MVS you need to do the following:
  • Supply a value in the NAME * field which is arbitrary user defined name related to distinguish the OPS/MVS product and release level from other products.
  • Supply the high level qualifier (HLQ) for your installation data sets.
  • Determine whether you are performing your installation using SMS. If using SMS, you must supply the Storage and Management classes. If not SMS, you must supply the Volume Serial and Unit names for use as input criteria for populating the MSM fields.
• For the OPSLOG WebView component installation, predetermine and allocate the USS destination path HFS directory where you will install the OPSLOG Webview server files.

  This directory must exist on permanently allocated storage or a mounted file system before you install OPSLOG Webview. About 5 MB should be sufficient.

• For the SSMO component installation:
  • Determine the prefix value for the CCS for z/OS object library that was created during the installation of CCS for z/OS using the AWSTART procedure in the system proclib concatenation.

    This data set contains the object modules for agent programs that communicate using Agent Technology as well as other CCS for z/OS components.

  • The suffix of the desired data set is EXP.

Similar actions will need to be taken for MSM installation steps 5 and 6 for the SMP/E Target and Distribution zone definitions.

After you use CA MSM to acquire and SMP/E-install CA OPS/MVS, proceed to the chapter "Installing Your Product from Tape" to complete the manual installation process.
