d. Optional: Authorize users or groups to access the IBM zAware GUI.
e. Optional: Modify the configuration values that control the IBM zAware analytics
operation.
f. Configure a network connection for each z/OS and Linux monitored client through the
TCP/IP profile. If necessary, update firewall settings.
g. Verify that each z/OS system meets the sysplex configuration and OPERLOG
requirements for IBM zAware virtual appliance monitored clients.
h. Configure the z/OS system logger to send data to the IBM zAware virtual appliance
server.
i. Configure the Linux SYSLOG to send data to the IBM zAware virtual appliance server.
j. Prime the IBM zAware server with prior data from monitored clients.
k. Build a model of normal system behavior for each monitored client.

The IBM zAware
server uses these models for analysis.
l. Optional: Use the IBM zAware ignore message support to provide input to the IBM
zAware rules. It allows you to mark messages as “ignore.” An ignored message is not
part of IBM zAware analysis and scoring.

For Linux on z Systems, model groups are defined based on host names. Models are built with available data for
systems matching the model group definition.
