Students create simple storage pools and subsequently 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 management 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, students register administrators and grant the privileges required to support specified responsibilities.
Audience
This course is intended for System Administrators and Implementers who will be responsible for implementing an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.3 solution.
