Introduction

This course provides hands-on practice in implementing a data management strategy with IBM® Tivoli ® Storage Manager 5.4. The course begins with installing the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 server, backup-archive clients, and the Integrated Solution Console Administration Center. Students create simple storage pools subsequently to learn to configure hierarchies of storage pools to manage the flow of data from disk to tape media. Next, storage pools are mapped to the data sent by client nodes through IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Policies that provide the rules to implement data manager service level agreements. Students define new policy domains, policy sets, management classes, backup copy groups, and archive copy groups. To authorize administrators to perform specific storage tasks, user register administrators and grant the privileges required to support specific responsibilities.

Student backup and restore client data, as well as manage long-term and off-site data management through archiving and receiving of client data. After learning of backup-restore and archive-retrieve data, students practice automating client operations by creating new IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Schedules. To monitor client operations, students subsequently learn to configure and manage storage events. Finally students will learn how to protect their IBM Tivoli Storage Manger server by automating the backup and restore of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager databases and storage manager pools from off-site data storage pools.
