    Abstract

    This IBM Redbooks publication describes how to integrate, install, configure, and operate the very latest IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Release 5.3 in heterogeneous environments.

    You will learn how to implement and operate IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. You should already have a conceptual understanding of Tivoli Storage Manager. We show you how to set up and implement the software, covering basic and advanced topics for Windows, AIX, and Linux based operating system platforms.

    We demonstrate how to handle all important tasks to protect your business: planning, client and server installation, operations, performance considerations, SAN environments, NDMP, as well as explaining many more features. This practical guide is intended for the following audiences: system administrators new to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager who are asked to commence a basic IBM Tivoli Storage Manager implementation for the very first time, and administrators who want to learn more about the basic and advanced components and their implementation.
