This course is for administrators who possess a fundamental knowledge of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. It provides in-depth administration training with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 6.2 Extended Edition at a higher skill level than the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 6.2 Implementation and Administration course (see courses IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 6.2 Implementation and Administration (TS611) and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 6.2 Implementation and Administration (ILO) (8S611)). You will learn how to control and tune the Tivoli Storage Manager environment and what steps to take when troubleshooting. The lab exercises explore the DB2 database management methods and options and introduce Tivoli Storage Manager for Reporting and Monitoring. In addition, the exercises involve multiple servers to simulate an enterprise environment. You will participate in group problem determination exercises, perform a variety of backup and restore processes, and optimize data management, such as data deduplication. You will also tune the backup-archive client and the Tivoli Storage Manager 6.2 server for optimal performance.
