Introduction:
 
This five-day course is designed to provide in-depth administration training with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.5 Extended Edition at a skill level that is beyond the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5 Implementation and Administration 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 exercises for this training involve multiple servers to simulate an enterprise environment. You will participate in group problem determine exercises, perform a variety of backup and restore processes, optimize data management, and tune the backup-archive client and the TSM 5.5 server for optimal performance.

The hands-on activities for this course are conducted on a Windows 2003 operating system.
 
Audience:
 
This is an intermediate-level course for Senior System Administrators and Business Partners who are experienced with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation.

Course Outline
 
Unit 1: TSM 5.5 Concept Review and New Features
This unit will present the new features available for TSM 5.5 in an overview format. There is also a review of basic TSM concepts and TSM interfaces to make sure there is a base of knowledge upon which the course can build.

Unit 2: Database and Log Manipulation
This unit explains the concepts dealing with the database and recovery log and how they are sized and expanded.

Unit 3: Storage Pool Manipulation
This unit explains the concepts dealing with the storage pools. The exercises for this unit provide the opportunity to learn how to manage the data storage used by the storage hierarchy.

Unit 4: Database and Storage Pool Problem Determinations
This unit consists of exercises. There is a short presentation and then you will work with three different problem determination labs that help you learn how to recover the TSM server after anomalies have occurred.

Unit 5: Macros and Scripts
In this unit you will see how writing macros and scripts can help with the automation of common tasks. You will also see that scripts can be scheduled thus reducing the number of schedules required.

Unit 6: Network Configuration and TSM Performance Issues
Performance and tuning parameters and options will be covered in this unit. Guidelines will be presented and you will also work with network backup capabilities when there are nodes that exist across the WAN environment from the TSM Server installation.

Unit 7: Reporting
Reporting tools are covered in the unit. The SQL interface along with the ODBC driver and connectivity are reviewed. The Operational Reporting Manager is also presented so you see the capabilities of this included utility.

Unit 8: Problem Determination Concepts
Since there may be times when TSM support will need you to run a trace, this unit covers what traces are and how to run them. Tracing will be examined from the server and client perspective.

Unit 9: Backup and Restore Methodology
This unit covers many backup and restore methods not presented in the prerequisite course. Some of the items examined will be multi-session backup and restore, open file support, image backup (static and online snapshot), backup groups, and moving data by node to name a few.

Unit 10: Enterprise Administration
Unit 10 establishes a good foundation in how to configure multiple instances of TSM servers in support of enterprise administration. Also covered in this unit is the establishment of a configuration manager server for propagation of objects in a controlled methodology from the manager to other TSM servers.

Unit 11: Server-to-Server Virtual Volumes
The capability to store backup and archive data for a TSM server on another TSM server is studied in this unit. This capability is available through the use of virtual volumes. The exploitation of these virtual volumes database backups and disaster recovery is explored.
