To all [AD|T]SM'ers in the Netherlands,

Just to inform you that Zong Ling from the TSM Lab (I personally have never 
heard of him) will give a 2-days TSM performance workshop in Amsterdam. I have 
heard from IBM Education NL that they have not yet sufficient customers to give 
this workshop, so I send this notification to "inform" you all...

I have enrolled for this course and of course want to attend it... 2 
enrollments are needed... I'll buy cakes!

Tivoli Storage Manager Performance Fundamentals (TM59)

This course is designed to provide high-level, in-depth training on the 
performance of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Enterprise Edition beyond the 
TSM Administration and Implementation classes. You will develop the skills to 
use TSM trace functions on identifying performance bottlenecks. You will learn 
the recommended values for the more critical TSM performance tuning parameters. 
You will also learn to configure the Storage Area Network (SAN) for TSM 
performance and availability. You will be shown the performance benchmarks of 
Tivoli Storage Manager and Tivoli Data Protection (TDP). You will be introduced 
to the enhancements for TSM 5.1.0, 5.1.5, and 5.2.0. You will also be advised 
to size TSM system for customized design. The concepts discussed in lecture 
will be reinforced with the optional hands-on labs.

And no I don't work for IBM... (but I do have some IBM stock ;-)
