Overview

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.
