IBM Z Mainframe (Z-Linux)

I know there is no agent available for Z-Linux. Please guide me on how to get the Inventory of Z-Linux through agentless or by any available options.

Hi Khalil,

FNMS agentless option (Zero Touch) still uses the agent, so you'll probably have no luck there. I see a few options:

  • Gather inventory manually
    This could be done regularly (yearly), if the number of machines alow it. Also you could try to tap into the deployment an patch process to see what is installed and uninstalled.
  • Script your own solution
    You could try to gather the basics yourself. It won't be as sophisticated as the FNMS agent, but might still be enough. After all there is only a few really important attributes.
  • Find a 3rd party inventory solution
    You might find a 3rd party solution capable of running Z-Linux and import your data from it.

Best regards,
