tsm will (should) generate its snmp events on its own. snmp is a protocol
over ip. I guess your mvs mainframe has tcp/ip enabled, including proper
routing set. so all you'd have to do is to tell tsm (sorry i don't know
how) the address of the tng box that will have to handle snmp messages, and
it's done.
just give it a try.
things could be different if your client would want to act on tsm from tng,
but it's not the case, ain't it ?
