Robert, The Redbook Effective zSeries Performance Monitoring using RMF
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246645.html?Open is a great introduction to RMF and it's many facilities. RMF is like Eve without Prozac. There are several distinct on-line and batch facilities all collectively called RMF. The Redbook is an excellent alternative to the traditional RMF manuals which you should have handy. It covers setup and use of RMF. Consider that some RMF options like CACHE can cause the RMF started task to be a much larger CPU consumer and especially if you are a small shop this may be an issue. An IPL should not be required for enabling any of the pieces of RMF.

My boss has informed me that we will be getting a license for RMF. I am OS390 V2R10. Inorder to get it working do I need any software or is it already there? I know I have to change IFAPRD00 to enabled and start RMF. Do I need to IPL? Once again thanks all.
