No, you are not seeing double. This is a closely related project to the one
I just sent. Basically a team of 6 people will collaborate to produce a
redbook (covering just Tivoli SAN Management software) and workshop
materials (covering the SAN Management software as well as topics related
to using TSM in a SAN environment).
Again, unfortunately because this is working with un-announced products, we
can only accept nominations from IBM, Tivoli and Business Partners.

Workshop Material
Residency Announcement: ST-0540 Managing a SAN Environment: Workshop
Material
Benefits to Resident: The residency will provide a unique opportunity for
hands-on exploration of the new products and features of Tivoli SAN
management software in our ITSO multi-vendor SAN lab using pre-GA code. It
includes close interaction with development for skill transfer and constant
review, and focused project work in a dynamic team environment. The
resident will gain first-hand product knowledge and unique hands-on
experience in a risk-free lab environment. This knowledge will be
particularly important to residents where consultancy and services are
involved.
This San Jose residency begins 02 Oct 2000, ends 10 Nov 2000 (6 weeks), and
requires 2 residents. Please submit nominations by 05 Sep 2000.
Description: This workshop will be based on the results of two IBM Redbook
residencies, Managing a SAN, and Tivoli Storage Manager in a SAN
Environment. Under SAN Management, it will describe how a SAN Fabric and
attached storage systems can be managed using the upcoming Tivoli SAN
management software products. Managed components to be discussed include
SAN fabric devices and links (including FC-AL, hubs, switches, routers) as
well as resources, such as hosts, disks, and tapes. Configuration concepts
such as zoning, storage assignment and LUN-masking will be described.
In addition, topics related to Tivoli Storage Manage in a SAN environment,
including LAN-free backup and tape library sharing, will be included.
This workshop will cover the element and network layers of the Tivoli
management model.
Objectives: The objective of the residency is to produce workshop
materials "Managing a SAN Environment", which will cover the Tivoli SAN
Management products. The workshop documents installation, implementation,
customization, and exploitation of this product in a heterogenous SAN
environment, as well as integration/co-existence with specific hardware and
software such as IBM ESS and SANergy. It also covers usage of Tivoli
Storage Manager in a SAN environment, specifically the concepts of LAN-free
backup and tape library sharing.
The residency will include hands-on exploration of the new products and
features in our ITSO multi-vendor SAN lab, a close interaction with
development for skill transfer and constant review, and focused project
work in a dynamic team environment. The resident will gain early first-hand
product knowledge and hands-on experience in a risk-free lab environment.
This project team will consult with the project team of ST-0525 in order to
jointly prepare the IBM Redbook "Tivoli SAN Management: A Practical Guide".
This residency is suitable for Business Partners and IBMers.
A basic requirement for all residents is the ability to read and clearly
express concepts and procedures in common English.
Resident Prerequisites: An important requirement for this residency is
practical experience in designing, implementing, and managing heterogeneous
SAN environments. General storage management and network management skills
are also desirable. Residents should have worked on solving specific SAN
management problems and be prepared to develop solutions using the new
software. It is beneficial for candidates to have participated in multiple
concrete projects (please give details in nomination). At least one
resident should also have substantial Tivoli Storage Manager skills and
experience. Because of the nature of the deliverables (Technical Guide
redbook and workshop material), good graphical and conceptual communication
skills are crucial. Fluent English, both oral and written, is a
prerequisite.
Skill levels below are from 5 to 1, where 5 = expert skill and 1 = no
skill.
You personally do not have to have all of these skills to be considered a
good candidate for this residency. The project leader will match your
skills with that of the other nominations to put together the best team
possible.

Important: Even if you cannot be a resident now, perhaps you could provide
or point us to appropriate, already-existing materials as potential input
to our development efforts. We would appreciate your help in identifying
any useful material that can be expanded, referenced, or included as is.
If the material significantly contributes to the produced redbook, we will
acknowledge your assistance and may even name the creator as a contributing
author. We believe that your help will leverage the value of the
already-existing materials and will result in better redbooks produced in
shorter cycle times.
The ITSO Residency program has been honed over many years to provide the
maximum benefit to residents and their businesses. IBM organizations,
Business Partners, and customers that have provided residents report that
the returning employee has gained significant new skills to enable them to
support IBM's latest products. These skills can be employed either
directly for services generation or indirectly in technical support of the
sales effort. Furthermore, the contacts made by the resident within the
development community and with the other residents are invaluable in
keeping these skills up-to-date.
