Automating Hardware Functions

Hardware Services (HWS) provides automate hardware (HMC) functions. Through HWS, hardware event notifications are captured as the CA OPS/MVS Generic API events. A rule-based automation can be designed for hardware events such as hardware message events, security events, and operating system message events. An additional host environment is provided to automate responses and hardware interaction through hardware commands, as well as the retrieval and updating of system attributes.

For more information on the automation of HMC control functions, see Manage the Processors.
