Introduction:
 
IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center (TPC) 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. Through extensive hands-on labs and instructor demonstrations, learn TotalStorage Productivity Center 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.
 
Audience:
 
This is an advanced course for System Administrators who are responsible for all aspects of storage management in a SAN environment.
 
Prerequisites:
 

You should have:

  • Basic understanding of Storage Administration
  • Basic understanding of Storage Area Networks and SAN fabric Familiarity with the IBM ESS (Enterprise Storage Server)
  • Familiarity with the IBM Disk Storage family (DS4000/DS6000/DS8000 series)
 
Customize it:
 
This 5-day IBM course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of IBM training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization?s ame on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment.
