3. Course Revision History
Introduction
The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 Implementation and Administration Part Two course
is a replacement for the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administration 5.3.2 course. Through
information exchange there was a consistent opinion that the students needed a
representative course for the added administration functionality that would be a natural
follow-on to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 Implementation and Administration Part
One course. The course design builds upon the previously learned concepts and adds to this
knowledge base. This course is designed for users who are already experienced in
administering Tivoli Storage Manager, or who have extensive knowledge of the product.
This course combines aspects of previous courses and the concepts from the new release.
The course design returns to a flow where the student will use information from one unit to
the next to learn and apply concepts and features for how they manage and administer their
own Tivoli Storage Manager implementation.
About the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 Implementation and Administration Part
Two course:
• IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.3.2 Administration, released December 2005, was
based on IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.3.2 code. This update was due to the
significant changes to the Administration Center’s interface.
• IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 Implementation and Administration Part Two,
released May 2007, is based on IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 code. This
update explains the new data shredding feature and the new active-data storage
pool configuration.

Classroom Setup Instructions
To set up the classroom follow the appropriate Classroom Setup CD. The instructions are
written to set up each system individually.
The Classroom Setup CD contains guides that have been written in detail to help those who
are required to perform setup tasks and do not have the knowledge base of the products
covered in this course material. Setup personnel can use IBM Tivoli resources on the
Internet and product documentation to help with setup.
The Classroom Setup CD contains files needed for setup. These include files used in
backups and archives, software installation files and operating system updates. The
respective Classroom Setup Guide will inform you of software or files when needed to
perform tasks. There are macros that have been created to aid in the correct setup of the
Tivoli Storage Manager server and to save time in the process. Do not change these macros
unless you understand the consequences and make sure they do not impact the system
setup.
An image could be created for the initial system state and then installed onto each system
for course use. This is a decision for each site presenting the course. There are a few settings
that must be changed after an image has been installed. These settings are also detailed in
the Classroom Setup Guides.

12. Instructor Preparation
Suggestions for Delivery
These notes provide an overview and insight into the Student’s Training Guide unit by unit.
General suggestions for delivery of the course are also included.
The students will begin by using a preconfigured Tivoli Storage Manager server named
Server1. This server will be utilized until the exercises for Unit 10. In the Unit 10 exercises
Server1 will be halted and three Tivoli Storage Manager servers named Black, Cyan, and
Grey will be used for enterprise administration. Unit 11 will call for the previous three
servers to be halted and then two Tivoli Storage Manager servers named Source and Target
will be used for virtual volumes. If the systems use an image then the accept date and enable
session commands may need to be entered. This is noted in the Student’s Training Guide.
In this version the servers must be halted and started again if these steps are required and
this is also stated in the Student’s Training Guide.
The Classroom Setup CD has a folder of shortcuts that can be copied to the desktop and
then arranged. These shortcuts provide icons to make the students access to the various
server and clients easier. On AIX systems there are shell scripts provided to start all the
needed aixterm windows for use with Unit 10 and Unit 11, Enterprise Administration and
Server-to-server Virtual Volumes, respectively. Please reference the respective Classroom
Setup Guide for more information on using these shortcuts and scripts.
Unit 1 – Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 Concept Review
and New Features
This unit begins as an overview of features included with Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4
Extended Edition. The unit continues with a discussion of the new features available in
Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 Extended Edition. The instructor should take time to become
familiar with these features and mention the ones that will have the most impact in a
production environment. Two new features, data shredding and active-data storage pools,
are covered more thoroughly in another unit.
Many students may have not upgraded from Tivoli Storage Manager version 5.2. Point out
that they can migrate to Tivoli Storage Manager version 5.4. Also mention that there is an
upgrade path from Tivoli Storage Manager Express to Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4
Extended Edition.
The rest of the unit is designed to be a quick review of the major components of Tivoli
Storage Manager. This has been included for those students who may need a thorough
overview. Some students who have experience with Tivoli Storage Manager may need to
fill gaps in their knowledge. Many newer administrators are not aware and may have never
used some of the options available from the command line. Some of these options are
introduced in this unit, and are used later in the course. The instructor should not spend too
much time here as it will make it difficult to cover the rest of the units and labs
appropriately.

13. Instructor Preparation
The delivery of this unit will differ from class to class. It is very important for the instructor
to determine the level of ability of the students and then spend the appropriate review time.
This module needs to have moderation or timing will become an issue.
Unit 2 – Database and Log Manipulation
This unit will familiarize students with the aspects of the Tivoli Storage Manager database
and recovery log. Many students are only familiar with features implemented in their
environment. This information should be familiar to most students so it can be covered
more quickly. Use your knowledge of the students’ levels to determine the amount of time
to spend on the concepts. This unit is important to the student’s understanding and
completion of the Problem Determination labs. The instructor should make sure students
have a thorough understanding of the materials.
Unit 3 – Storage Pool Manipulation
Unit 3 will familiarize students with the aspects of the Tivoli Storage Manager storage
pools. In prior courses, students were struggling with the exercise pertaining to migration,
so some new slides have been added to further describe this feature.
Two new features, data shredding and active-data storage pools are introduced in this unit.
Take time to explain these features thoroughly, as this is the first exposure the students have
had to these features.
As in the unit for database and log manipulation, this unit is important to the student’s
understanding and completion of the Problem Determination labs. The instructor should
make sure students have a thorough understanding of the materials.
Unit 4 – Database and Storage Pool Problem
Determination
The Problem Determination labs are critical to the students being able to manually recover
the Tivoli Storage Manager server. These labs will allow the students to possibly perform
their first Tivoli Storage Manager server recovery. There are three exercises to reinforce the
ability of Tivoli Storage Manager to be recovered if the proper steps are taken to allow this
process occur. It is imperative the exercises in Unit 3 have been completed successfully or
there may be problems in these labs. Be prepared to help students if they have an issue with
the server. The slide show for this unit enables the instructor to walk through the labs with
the students. The slide show uses the same steps as the exercise guide.

14. Instructor Preparation
Unit 5 – Macros and Scripts
Macros and scripts are essential elements of an efficient Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4
implementation. Some students may not have any experience with scripting. This module
has been included to give them the skills necessary to properly create a script. Although
there are some good script examples in the text, the instructor should consider giving the
students more script and macro examples and ideas to add value to this unit.
Unit 6 – Network Configuration and Tivoli Storage
Manager Performance Issues
Proper performance tuning is essential to an effective Tivoli Storage Manager
implementation. This unit has been expanded from previous courseware versions in order
to give students a thorough understanding of performance issues and tuning parameters.
The instructor should spend an appropriate amount of time in this unit. The instructor
should read the Tivoli Storage Manager Performance Tuning Redbook as preparation for
delivery.
Unit 7 – Reporting
This unit provides information on Tivoli Storage Manager Reporting. Much administration
time is wasted in production environments due to poor reporting techniques. Though many
students will be familiar with the Operational Reporting tool, there is usually more to learn.
It is important that the instructor provide a number of examples of implementing SQL
statements and queries in the Operational Reporting tool that will be of interest to students.
It is important that the instructor have a good understanding SQL statements.
Unit 8 – Problem Determination Concepts
Unit 8 will aid students in the determination of problems they may encounter in a
production environment. This unit will give students the skills and understanding necessary
to perform traces. The instructor should be familiar with the Problem Determination Guide
available on the Tivoli Web site and included on the Instructor Resources CD. Student
knowledge and skill level will determine the way this unit is delivered. Expanding the
discussions in this unit may not prove helpful for many students. A majority of students
need a basic understanding of troubleshooting and a knowledge of how to implement
tracing. They will benefit most from discussions that help them properly utilize Tivoli
support to handle difficulties beyond their scope of knowledge.

15. Instructor Preparation
Unit 9 – Backup and Restore Methodology
This unit introduces advanced backup tools. These tools can also be used to address
performance issues covered in Unit 6. Some of these tools can be handled lightly in order
to make up time or make time for coming units. One example could be the lesson on
Adaptive Subfile Backup used for the backup of mobile clients. There are only a few
production environments that are candidates for this feature and the exercise is marked as
optional.
Unit 10 – Enterprise Administration
This unit deals with Tivoli Storage Manager administration in multiple Tivoli Storage
Manager server environments. Many students have a single server environment and may
not have need of enterprise administration in the near future. This information is easily
understood and there is no need for expanded discussions during the lecture. It would be
better to move quickly through the discussions and allow the students to clarify their
understanding while doing the exercise with the instructor assistance if needed.
Unit 11 – Server-to-server Virtual Volumes
This unit, like Unit 10, deals with Tivoli Storage Manager administration in multiple Tivoli
Storage Manager server environments. Many students have a single server environment
and may not have need of virtual volumes in the near future. This information is easily
understood but some expanded discussions may be necessary during the lecture to address
features that can be of help to students who have multiple server environments.
Exploitation of virtual volumes for use with DRM should be highlighted for disaster
recovery capabilities. One example would be the use of virtual volumes for database
backups. That topic is covered in the DRM class but is important to discuss in this unit for
the benefit of some students. For the most part, move quickly through the discussions and
allow the students to clarify their understanding while doing the lab.
Appendix A – Related Tivoli Storage Manager Products
This is the last unit and can be tailored to meet the time requirements. It is meant to be a
general overview. It is not possible to cover all of these products thoroughly in this class.
It is important that the instructor be familiar with these products in order to explain their
implementation. There are similarities between most of the Tivoli products for particular
applications. It would be helpful for the instructor to mention that these products are
generally implemented by consultants or partners. Consultants can assist customers in
setting up several of their data protection agents, make sure they understand the process,
and then allow them to complete the installation of the rest of the data protection agents.

16. Instructor Preparation
This is the best way to learn to implement these agents in a production environment. The
lectures will give the students the basic skills to implement the Tivoli Storage Manager side
of the data protection agents. In most cases some knowledge of the applications is also
necessary to effectively implement the data protection agents. The suggested policy
settings have been included in the materials because this is critical for proper backup of
applications and meeting the requirements of a service level agreement.

17. Instructor Preparation
Suggestions for Exercises
Introduction
The exercises are available for either Windows or AIX. There are exercises available for
Windows that are not available if teaching a pure AIX version of the class. This is due to
the functionality only being supported in a Windows environment. If Windows systems are
also available then there are instructions for using the Windows systems to perform the
exercises and utilize the AIX Tivoli Storage Manager server.
The Student Exercises for Windows or the Student Exercises for AIX contains the exercises
without answers in the front, followed by an appendix that contains the answers. The
exercises make use of the administrative command-line utility extensively in some areas.
This has been done and should be pointed out by the instructor so they can learn commands
that could be used in macros and scripts. The Administration Center is used for some of the
exercises and is covered extensively in the Implementation course. The instructor can
indicate, if the expertise with commands is not high, that the students can reference or even
use the appendix for exercise completion. If this is done then it is important to make sure
the students do more than type the commands; they should know why they are performing
a task. They need to feel comfortable about asking for help. The exercises were written with
this as a factor.
It is important for the instructor to have completed the exercises in preparation for delivery.
For release 5.4, the exercises were tested in a single machine environment. Those exercises
requiring an AIX and a Windows machine should be tested for the Tivoli Storage Manager
5.4 version.
Unit 1 – Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 Concept Review
and New Features
The exercise for this unit allows the student to investigate the setup of a Tivoli Storage
Manager server to see what could be done to improve the current situation. It may be
helpful, according to the level of expertise of the students, to help them see a few of the
items and then give them time to use the query results to come up with the other
suggestions.
After the students are finished with their evaluation, the instructor should lead a discussion
to review the findings. Information from this exercise will be utilized in the exercises later
in this class. The instructor needs to make sure suggestions made at the end of the exercise
are understood by the students.

18. Instructor Preparation
This unit allows the student to use the Administration Center to navigate and perform basic
functions. The command-line interface (CLI) exercise gives the student the opportunity to
use options they may have not known about or ever tried.
There is no difference between Windows and AIX exercises for this unit.
Unit 2 – Database and Log Manipulation
These exercises use the suggestions for improvement found in the Unit 1 exercise. These
suggestions provide a basis for the manipulations performed on the database and recovery
log. The completion of these labs is essential to the problem determination exercises in Unit
4. The instructor should either individually check the complete state of each student’s
system or review this with the class as a whole.
There is no difference between Windows and AIX exercises for this unit.
Unit 3 – Storage Pool Manipulations
These exercises also use the suggestions for improvement found in the Unit 1 exercise.
These suggestions provide a basis for the manipulations performed on the storage pools
with their respective volumes. The completion of these labs is essential to the problem
determination exercises in Unit 4.
Some problems will arise if the students use the up arrow to repeat commands and do not
change all the values correctly. This may result in volumes assigned to the wrong storage
pool or placed in the wrong location. Learn to spot these anomalies as you watch the
students progress through the exercises.
There is no difference between Windows and AIX exercises for this unit.
Unit 4 – Database and Storage Pool Problem
Determination
This unit is made up of a short introduction section in the Student’s Training Guide and then
the exercises. The instructor slide show for this unit provides slides that mimic the
exercises. This allows the instructor to lead the class through the recoveries. There is a slide
show for Windows and another for AIX systems.
The problem determination exercises are set up by executing a PERL script that will create
the anomalies on the Tivoli Storage Manager server. There are three exercises and the
scripts are executed by starting a batch file from the root directory of the C: drive for

students leave the room and for the instructor to execute these routines so the student does
not see the results as the routine runs. There has to be a drm directory created per the
Classroom Setup Guides.

When prompted for the password, type in iluvtsm.
When asked to confirm the override, type in OVERRIDE (case sensitive).
Unit 5 – Macros and Scripts
The macro exercises have the student typing in macros with comments so they can practice
documenting these helpful command sequences. The Instructor Resources CD has a
directory, macro_scripts_lab_files, on it that contains two files for macros that are lengthy.
The name of the file indicates the step number where the particular file is used. There is a
file with the complete macro coded and a file where the comments are included and the
commands are replaced with xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx lines. You can choose to place these
files on the student systems to expedite the exercises if needed. It is preferred that the files
without the commands in them be used, so the students at least have to replace these lines
with the correct commands. This will still eliminate a large amount of typing.
The scripting exercises have been expanded so the students can learn different script
functionality and then see how a SQL select can be used in a script to help with scheduling.
This is a forward reference since reporting has not been covered and will require the
instructor to explain this concept using the slides available during lecture.
Unit 6 – Network Configuration and Tivoli Storage
Manager Performance Issues
This exercise brings back an exercise from previous courses where the students must
determine if a current topology can support the requirements for a Tivoli Storage Manager
installation based on network and hardware criteria. It is sometimes better to split the class
into groups and have them work together to find a solution. You may also have
representatives present their conclusions or do this as a whole according to the time
available. Make sure you have studied the results and are prepared to explain the issues.

20. Instructor Preparation
Unit 7 – Reporting
A series of SQL select statements are performed as the students learn about querying the
Tivoli Storage Manager server while using the help select command to investigate select
statements. The Operational Reporting tool is available on Windows systems only and will
not be available in an AIX only lab environment.
To perform the ODBC labs will also require a Windows system.
Unit 8 – Problem Determination Concepts
The first exercise shows the student the use of querying the activity log for information and
the different forms of that query. The client statistic information for the last session with
the server is also viewed.
The second exercise covers tracing for the server and the client. When tracing the client,
the last trace is performed on a single file selectively backed up with all the trace flags
turned on. Explain that the rationale for this step is to show how much data can be generated
from a trace and to only perform tracing when they know the resultant amount of data or
have been guided by support personnel. The file generated by this trace will too large to
view with Notepad on a Windows system, have the students use Wordpad.
Unit 9 – Backup and Restore Methodology
The exercises for this unit cover some of the advanced features for backup and restore.
Some of these are open file support, image backup and adaptive subfile backup. Some of
the other features used in these exercises are only available on the Windows platform and
can be accomplished in a mixed environment also. If the lab environment is AIX only, then
the number of exercises will be reduced.
Unit 10 – Enterprise Administration
The students have been working with the Tivoli Storage Manager server, Server1. In this
set of exercises the student will halt Server1 and use the servers Black, Cyan, and Grey to
learn about server-to-server communications, command routing, and other facets of
enterprise administration between multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers. As mentioned
in the introduction section there are shortcuts and shell scripts the students can use to speed
up their access to the various server and clients (refer to the Classroom Setup Guides for
more information). The students need to close all the servers and clients before moving on
to the next unit’s exercises.

21. Instructor Preparation
Unit 11 – Server-to-server Virtual Volumes
The virtual volume exercises will make use of the Tivoli Storage Manager servers Source
and Target. These servers can be accessed in the same manner as those in Unit 10. These
labs will solidify the concepts of virtual volume storage between two Tivoli Storage
Manager servers. The students will get to see how each Tivoli Storage Manager server
stores the data, virtual volume on the source and archive data on the target.
