CSM Guide for the PSSP System Administrator

This IBM IBM Redbooks publication compares and contrasts the methods, tools, and interfaces provided by PSSP and CSM to perform typical system administrator tasks. It is aimed at experienced PSSP system administrators who need to grow their knowledge about administering of PSSP clustered systems into equivalent knowledge about CSM clustered systems, regardless of whether or not they need to convert a system from PSSP to CSM system management.
This publication is a "task-oriented guide" that will help seasoned PSSP administrators to quickly figure out how to accomplish, in the new CSM environment, tasks they are already familiar with in PSSP.
