Subject: Residency Announcement: ST-0453 Using Tivoli Storage Manager in
SAN Environment
Residency Announcement: ST-0453 Using Tivoli Storage Manager in SAN
Environment
Benefits to Resident: The residency will provide a unique opportunity for
hands-on exploration of the SAN exploitation features of the Tivoli Storage
Manager 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 residency begins 28 Aug 2000, ends 06 Oct 2000 (6 weeks), and requires
3 residents.
Description: This project exploits Tivoli Storage Manager implementation
and operation in a SAN environment.
Objectives: The objective of the residency is to produce a new redbook
"Using Tivoli Storage Manager in a SAN environment", which will cover
Tivoli Storage Manager SAN exploitation functionality. The redbook
documents and explains SAN tape library sharing and LAN-free backup
solutions and their implementation and usage to our technical audience
(IBM, Tivoli, BP and customer).
The residency will include hands-on exploration of the 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 first-hand product knowledge and unique
hands-on experience in a risk-free lab environment.
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: An important requirement for the residency is a
conceptual understanding and practical experience in designing and setting
up heterogeneous SAN environments. Also, conceptual and/or hands-on skills
in using ADSM or Tivoli Storage Manager are required. Multiple concrete
projects are beneficial (please indicate in nomination). Fluent English
(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.
