IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Install server components on z/OS
Most users with a z/OS monitoring server deploy both z/OS agents and a monitoring server. The estimates in this section include the time requirements for installing both the agents and the monitoring server components.
In general, you need to allow a day for loading the software off tape and performing the receive, apply, and accept processing. The elapsed time depends on the number of products and the amount of processing power allocated to the installation LPAR, typically a test environment. If you have more than two products, then allow more time. As a rule of thumb allow half a day per product with a minimum of one day.
