Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
zSCON is used for OEM Server Consolidation onto System z.
Incorrect Answers:
B: zBNA is an IBM System z Batch Network Analyzer Tool.
zBNA is a PC-based productivity tool designed to provide a means of estimating the elapsed time for batch jobs solely based on the differences in CPU speeds for a base processor and a target processor, the number of engines on each system, and system capacities; data sharing is not considered. zBNA provides powerful, graphic demonstration of the z/OS batch window.
C: 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.
D: zPCR is a processor Capacity Reference for IBM System z.
zPCR is a PC-based productivity tool under Windows. It is designed to provide capacity planning insight for IBM Z and LinuxONE processors running LPAR configurations with various workload environments under z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE, KVM, Linux, zAware, zACI, SSC, and CFCC. Capacity results are based on IBM's
LSPR data supporting all IBM Z and LinuxONE processors including the new IBM z14 and LinuxONE Emperor (3906) processor families.
