Hi TSM'ers - I will be running a project in ITSO to make a redbook on IBM
LTO tape with UNIX systems. It will include LTO with native operating
system utilities as well as backup products like TSM and others - anyone
with interest and skill in this area is welcome to apply to spend 5 weeks
in sunny California.
Also, newly published is the redbook SG24-6146 Using Tivoli Data Protection
for MS SQL Server.
You will also now find two other redpieces I previously posted about -
"Backing Up DB2 using TSM", SG24-6247, and "Backing Up Oracle using Tivoli
Storage Management", SG24-6249 - also available on the www.redbooks.ibm.com
website. Apologies, but those two were inadvertently omitted from the
external site up till now.
I hope the audience finds these resources useful.
Regards, Charlotte
Project Leader, Tivoli Storage Management solutions, ITSO Almaden

Subject: Residency Announcement: ST-1200 Using IBM LTO Tape with Open
Systems
Residency Announcement: ST-1200 Using IBM LTO Tape with Open Systems
Benefits to Resident: The resident will gain hands-on experience in the
ITSO's SAN Lab with our Ultrium 3583 Tape Library and a range of servers.
It is also planned to use tape subsystems in other locations as time
permits.
This San Jose residency begins 06 Aug 2001, ends 07 Sep 2001 (5 weeks), and
requires 3 residents. Please submit nominations by 29 Jun 2001.
Description: This project will produce a new IBM Redbook that will cover
the implementation details of attaching IBM Ultrium tape subsystems to
servers running AIX, Solaris and HP-UX. It will describe how the attachment
support is provided, what connection methods are supported and will
illustrate the text with practical examples. There will be a companion
residency for Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Linux in project ST-1201 which
is planned for later in 2001.
Objectives: Topics to be covered include:
1. Attachment methods (SCSI LVD, HVD; SAN, and FC-AL) and when to choose
each of these
2. Software fundamentals (device drivers, addressing, UNIX tools)
3. Specific examples for AIX
4. Specific examples for Solaris
5. Specific examples for HP-UX
6. TSM examples
7. ArcServe examples for LTO
8. Veritas NetBackup examples for LTO
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: The successful resident need not have all the
skills requested. However, he or she should have strong skills in at least
one of the main areas and a desire to learn new skills.
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.
