What is SRM?
Server Resource Management (SRM) is an web application
that reports historical and near real time trends of key distributed server resources, such as Processor, Memory and Disk in support of Service Delivery Center (SDC), e-Business Hosting (e-BH), On-Demand (ODCS), and Integrated Technology Services (ITS) customers worldwide.

Business Need
View resource usage across the enterprise
Display usage across platforms Deliver web-based reporting Report historical usage and forecast trends Identify threshold exceptions Plan for solution scalability Group servers by attributes Support traditional and on-demand processing

Enterprise View SRM incorporates a unique enterprise view of customer server trends, whereby hundreds of servers may be presented in a single view, using a red/yellow/green threshold methodology to identify servers that exceed key resource thresholds, saving countless hours of support time in analysis and reactive support. Hot link navigation enables drill-down to the individual server level, as well. This enterprise approach is essential in delivering web reporting on thousands of SRM-installed servers worldwide. SRM is managed as a "run-once" application and is incorporated into IBM’s suite of strategic solutions. The common web interface eliminates the need for expertise on multiple platforms.

Conti …..
SRM serves as a centralized IBM GS 'Data Mart‘ specializing
in Performance Management and Capacity Planning reporting and metrics for Server and LPAR (logical partitioned) processing assets. Data is centralized from various platform-specific data sources and housed in a central repository. Each report is viewable in multiple formats –
Tabular / Graphical CSV, XML Scheduled E-mail RTF (rich text) Files Saved Queries Save as URL

Performance Reports Detailed platform-specific metrics Account level and server level Color coded thresholds These reports will help customers perform critical resource analysis, such as: How are my servers utilized across the account? Are my servers memory constrained? How much disk or file system am I using? Where are my disk I/O bottlenecks? Which processes are consuming the most resource? Are there processing bottlenecks or excessive backlog job queues? What thresholds are in use on the server or account? How much traffic is going through my network adapters? When did the performance problem begin?

Capacity Reports Display capacity-level trends Account level and server level Support for separate Capacity Rules These reports help customers trend key resources, such as: When do I need to upgrade? When will I begin to see resource issues if I don't upgrade? Which servers should I upgrade first? What was the peak processor utilization for the week? How am I performing against my target capacity plan? Which servers can I consolidate to reduce cost? What is my utilization trend for a specific day (or hour) of the week?

Executive Reports Account level indicators of overall install base status Cross-platform view Status applies to sub-account and attribute groupings These reports will help customers perform general resource analysis, such as: What is the overall (cross-platform) server utilization across the account (or sub- account)? How many servers are running red, yellow (amber), or green status? What is the future forecast for server resource utilization (in addition to current status)? What is the overall platform performance for Processor, Memory, and Disk resources? For management tracking, what is the ongoing monthly percentage of red, yellow (amber), and green resources in my account?

Red Action List
Facility to communicate monthly resource
exceptions and action plans Edit current status Supports a closed loop process ISO9001-ready These reports will help customers track resource exceptions, such as: Which servers (if any) are trending red for the last two months across the account? What resources (processor, disk, memory constraints) require attention on the server? Which server exceptions may be classified as acceptable?

Report Packaging
Ability to customize and schedule
report packages to be delivered to IBM users Rich Text format allows the user to refine the package further, once delivered Saves time in building monthly or weekly health check deliverables

Addition
Check for sftp is possible with out prompting password
Add the server to the ssh22.conf_v6 (Found in /srm/ssh22 path on MCS) Once the server has been added to the conf file we have to add the server to the “SRM web page (https://w3.srm.eventsgslb.ibm.com” Select for the Enterprise and the Customer Select the Sub client ID , Category, subcategory (should be maintain), Action (add), server type (server /Lpar) ,OS ( Platform mention in the spread sheet ) then click submit button. A window will be popped to fill the server Full name, Display name, Time zone, Country, In production should be check, serial no( if provided), shift information, Ip address, login ID, password, and the path Once submitted a Pop up window shows that the server has been added with all the details that have mention while submitting.

Deletion
Select the Enterprises and Customer and then if you know Sub Client ID’s then select them, Category (server), subcategory (Maintain), Action (Display), OS (All if they have not mention in the request). Check the Submit Tab. This will give you a list of server Find the server that has to be deleted, and when clicking on that will give the details of that server. Select the Delete option and submit for deletion. Once the server has been deleted from the SRM web page remove the server entry form the ssh22.conf_v6 in the MCS server

Modification
Select the Enterprises and Customer and then if you know Sub Client ID’s then select them, Category (server), subcategory (Maintain), Action (Display), OS (All , if they have not mention in the request). Check the Submit Tab. This will give you a list of server Find the server that has to be modify, and when clicking on that will give the details of that server. Change the IP address of the server as mentioned in the request and check the submit tab. Once the IP address has been modified, change the server name in the ssh22.conf_v6 file also.
