Question 1
The IBM account has requested an analysis to review a zEC12 upgrade to a z13.
What analysis tool is required to ensure the z13 machine channels are reviewed to meet the customer’s FICON Express 16S performance requirements?
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
The IBM Processor Capacity Reference for z Systems (zPCR) tool has been changed to support the new z/OS workload categories. Note: Capacity Planning Tool (GA Level) for z13 and zBX Model 4 include zPCR, zTPM, zCP3000, zBNA, zSoftCap, zTPM, zSCON.Incorrect Answers:B: The zCP3000 VM Extract Utility (CP3KVMXT) reads CP Monitor data and generates an Enterprise Data File (EDF) of system and workload related measurements for input into zCP3000. It supports VM running as native or in a partition. It can be used to model interactive VM workloads or workloads under guest operating systems such as Linux.C: IBM z Systems Batch Network Analyzer (zNBA) can be used to analyze client-provided System Management Facilities (SMF) records to identify jobs and data sets that are candidates for zEDC compression, across a specified time window, typically a batch window.D: zSCON is used for OEM Server Consolidation onto System z.
