IBM Storage Manager 5.5

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5 Advanced Administration, Tuning and Troubleshooting
This five-day course is designed to provide in-depth administration training with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5 Extended Edition, at a skill level that is beyond the Implementation and Administrator Part One course. Through the use of reporting tools, administrators will be able to control their TSM environment, and determine which actions to take. These tasks will vary according to the action we are trying to accomplish. The classroom setup for this training includes installing and configuring multiple servers, server-to-server and virtual volumes. The students will participate in group problem determine exercises, and be presented with options for a tapeless backup, optimal data management, and tuning the backup-archive client and the TSM 5.5 server for optimal performance.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5 Implementation and Administration
This is the first of two 5-day instructor-led courses for implementing and administering Tivoli Storage Manager. This course provides hands-on practice in implementing and administering a data management strategy with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5. The course begins with installing the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5 server and backup-archive client, and the Integrated Solution Console Administration Center. Students create and configure hierarchies of storage pools and define policies to manage the flow of data from disk to disk or tape media.

The back up and restore of client data, as well as performing long-term and offsite data management through archiving and retrieving of client data, is discussed and practiced. Finally, students will protect their IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server by automating the backup and restore of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager databases and storage pools from offsite data storage pools.

The Student Exercises are available for Windows 2003, Linux, and AIX. The lecture material covers all supported Intel and UNIX platforms.

This course should be followed by IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5 Advanced Administration, Performance Tuning and Problem Determination.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5 Operations
In this instructor-led training course, you will learn to perform the day-to-day functions and tasks that are required for operating and maintaining IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5. These tasks include managing storage pool volumes, preparing removable media, creating reports, monitoring TSM events, and protecting the TSM database, recovery log, and client data. You will learn how to create automated schedules that can be customized to maintain your organization’s Tivoli Storage Manager environment. This course is delivered through lectures and lab exercises.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition 5.5 Disaster Recovery
With the ever increasing reliance on business-critical data, companies are taking steps to not only back up their data, but to ensure it's recoverability in the event of disaster. This three-day course on Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM), a feature of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition, will teach TSM admnistrators how to create and use the Disaster Recovery Plan file to help them recover their TSM server and their client data after a disaster or outage. The hands-on labs include exercises on how to back up the necessary server files, the TSM database, and storage pools for off-site storage. Students will then create a customized Disaster Recovery Plan file which they will then use as they restore their IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server and client data, at the client level and at the storage pool level. Students will also use server-to-server communications to back up the Disaster Recovery Plan file to remote virtual volumes for off-site electronic vaulting and learn the essentials of Disaster Recovery media management. Lecture will also cover the possibilities available for Bare Machine Recovery.

IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager 1.3 Implementation
The purpose of this 2 day hands on, instructor-led training is to show and explain how the features and functions of IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager can be used to administer and manage an organization’s storage resources and help meet its Storage Resource Management needs. Through lecture and hands-on exercises, the participants will install and configure the Storage Resource Manager server and agent, navigate through IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager's interface, and monitor, evaluate, and report on the managed storage resources. The skills learned in this course apply to all IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager agent and server platforms.

IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center 3.3 Administration and Operation
IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center is a comprehensive solution for managing storage capacity, availability, events, performance, and assets in an enterprise environment. Automated user-defined policies can detect potential problems and make adjustments based on user criteria. IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center is a key component in the information life cycle management solution.

This course comprises over 50 percent hands-on lab exercises that reinforce the instructor-based lectures. Instructor lecture and demonstrations focus on daily administration and operation, report generation and analysis, and policy management. Students are assigned a unique server to administer IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center 3.3 in a Windows 2003 environment. Practice administering the entire suite of products including Fabric Manager, Disk Manager, and Data Manager and learn to integrate those components into your storage solution.

IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center 3.3 Administration and Operation
The IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center (TPC) is an open storage infrastructure management solution designed to help reduce the effort of managing complex storage infrastructures, to help improve storage capacity utilization, and to help improve administrative efficiency. It is designed to enable an agile storage infrastructure that can respond to on demand storage needs.

Discuss installation, configuration, and the administration of the TPC suite. Students are grouped in teams to perform hands-on labs to install, configure, and administer the IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center suite with a focus on the related hardware including the SAN Volume Controller. Student teams prepare for installation in their own environment and perform hands-on labs to experience some features of the suite.

This course includes the following components of the suite:

  • TPC for Disk (formerly known as Multiple Device Manager)
  • TPC for Data (formerly known as Tivoli Storage Resource Manager)
  • TPC for Fabric (formerly known as Tivoli SAN Manager)

Note: this course has replaced IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center Workshop (SN855) (4.5 days)
If you are interested in administering the IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center in your storage solution including generation and interpretation of the reports, you may be interested in attending IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center 3.1 (TS100) (5 days).
