I would recommend "Getting Started with Tivoli Storage Manager: Implementation Guide". This an IBM Redbook, id# SG24-5416-01, I believe. I still use this frequently for reference on a variety of levels. Good luck.

But if you are also new to TSM I would highly recommend you to start with SG24-4877 "Tivoli Storage Management Concepts". Read all the chapters relevant to what you have - "must read" 1-8 + "optional" 9-13,30 + any related to your TDP (if any, chapters 15-24). After becoming familiar with the terms and functionality in TSM have a look at SG24-6277 "Tivoli Storage Manager v4.2: Technical Guide" and (as Joel suggested) SG24-5416 "Getting Started with TSM: Implementation Guide". It also might be worth the effort to look at Richard Sims's ADSM/TSM facts page (http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts).

Would anyone have some good recommendations? I have a couple of the redbooks and have been going through them but if anyone would have some further recommendations (websites, books, etc) I would appreciate them. R.
