Installation

In order to use CA GMI you must install and configure both the z/OS Server and the Windows Client components.

Note: If you have already installed CA GMI components for one of the other CA GMI products, there is no need to install the components again. If you are installing them for the first time, ensure that you have received the proper installation materials for both components. If you do not have them, contact Technical Support at http://ca.com/support.

Note: System software and hardware requirements for both components of GMI can be found in the CA Vantage Storage Resource Manager Installation at a Glance poster. You can access the CA Vantage documentation set from the product CD, download copies from http://ca.com/support, or you can install the Windows Client first (with no configuration) and then access the CA Vantage documentation set as explained in the section How You Use the Windows Client GUI.
