Residency Announcement: TI-A150 A Practical Guide to Tivoli SANergy
Benefits to Resident: Tivoli SANergy is a strategic Tivoli storage
solution for heterogenous filesharing in a SAN environment. Residents will
work in the ITSO SAN lab with a variety of SAN hardware, operating systems,
and disk subsystems. In this risk-free environment they will test and
document a number of integration scenarios as well as basic installation
and implementation procedures for Tivoli SANergy. Residents will benefit
from working in a dynamic team environment, with access to several
different hardware platforms and technical resources to assist them. They
should return to their normal jobs with a greater knowledge of file-sharing
applications in SAN environments and of the Tivoli SAN management strategy.
This San Jose residency begins 26 Mar 2001, ends 27 Apr 2001 (5 weeks), and
requires 3 residents. Please submit nominations by 27 Feb 2001.
Description: This project will produce a comprehensive guide to Tivoli
SANergy, covering planning, installation, operation, administration, and
integration with other Tivoli products, especially Tivoli Storage Manager,
and possibly also Tivoli Storage Network Manager. The team will agree on a
list of scenarios to test and document, incorporating their own ideas and
input from development. The following is a provisional table of contents:
* Introduction to SAN
* Introduction to Tivoli SANergy
* Planning for Tivoli SANergy, including supported platforms/environments
* Installing Tivoli SANergy
* Maintaining Tivoli SANergy
* Performance tuning and recommendations
* SANergy with Tivoli Storage Manager (sample scenarios including LAN-free
backup, shared disk storage pools, TDP application backup over a SAN)
* SANergy with Tivoli Storage Network Manager - coexistence and
exploitation
* Implementing high availability with SANergy
Objectives: This residency will produce an IBM Redbook aimed at anyone who
is selling, implementing, and supporting Tivoli SANergy.
This residency is suitable for Customers, 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: All candidates need a good working knowledge of
SANergy - preferably with recent customer experience. Please provide
details of your experience with SAN in general and SANergy in particular,
including platforms worked on. You do not need to have all of the other
prerequisite skills as the project leader will assemble a balanced team to
cover all required areas. Selected residents should arrive for the project
having thought about real-life, worthwhile scenarios which they would like
to explore.
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.
