Sure, the Performance Toolkit uses local APPC/VM connections to allow performance data retrieval from any number of other virtual machines on the same system. I believe the original setup for PERFSVM will automatically activate the APPC/VM data retrieval interface, and it uses the APPC/VM resource ID 'FCXRES00' that the FCONAPPC command expects to connect to by default. If you already use the Web interface then APPC/VM connections are certainly activated, too.
But before trying to use the interface you'll have to authorize any additional users for data retrieval by including them in the 'FCONRMT AUTHORIZ' file (see 'Performance Toolkit Guide' pages 12/13). You then just need an additional CMS machine to - log on to the second screen - start PerfKit there *without* performance data collection (give it a dummy FCONX $PROFILE, or make sure the 'FC MONCOLL ON' statement is commented out) - then start a performance data retrieval session with the command 'FCONAPPC' If the intention is to let a specific performance screen be permanently displayed and also automatically refreshed then enter also the command 'FC AUTOREFR ON' in the client machine *before* activating the data retrieval session with the 'FCONAPPC' command.

I would like to have one in the computer room and one in the Systems Programmers area. I know you can have a web interface to the monitor but that isn't way the manager wants.
