Hold the date for the next Hillgang meeting at the CA office in Herndon Virginia. Here's the agenda as it stands currently. I expect to add one more presentation when travel is approved for the speaker. A brochure with time/location details will be provided when the agenda is finalized.
* CA Support for VM SSI Yvonne Demeritt, CA * Automation Scenarios for a z/VM Cluster and Linux on System z Guests Tracey Dean, IBM * Business Analytics and IBM System z Tom Heller, IBM CA Support for VM SSI --------------------- This session will provide an overview of CA VM:Secure and CA VM:Director directory management functions in an SSI environment. We will discuss the latest enhancements to support this new environment as well as recommendations on usage and set up of various CA products. Automation Scenarios for a z/VM Cluster and Linux on System z Guests -------------------------------------------------------------------- As the Linux on System z environment continues to grow, the need for software and solutions to manage this environment also grows. This session will provide updated information on automating operations in a z/VM and Linux on System z environment, including z/VM clusters. Live demos can include how to: · Automatically take action based on messages on z/VM service machines, on Linux guest consoles, and in Linux syslog data · View and interact with live consoles, for both monitoring and debugging purposes · Monitor and manage spool file and page space usage · Send alerts to a central operations console (one per cluster) or a central alerting system, such as IBM Netcool/OMNIbus or other systems that accept SNMP traps · Send e-mails based on console messages, spool usage, etc. · Automatically archive logging data when a disk approaches full The demos will use IBM's management software for z/VM and Linux on System z, but the presentation will include requirements for implementing the scenarios with other software. Business Analytics and IBM System z ----------------------------------- Businesses of all sizes want to maximize the value of their business data, the stored knowledge of their business and their customers. The pressure to make fast decisions in response to changes in business conditions or to spot new opportunities grows every year. There has been a huge increase in the requirements for access to all types of transactional data to support the required decision making processes. IBM System Z servers have always been designed to provide the ideal platform for managing large volumes of business data. Additional features have been added to the design of the latest generations of IBM System Z servers in order to greatly improve the performance and reliability of business intelligence applications. This presentation will give an overview of IBM's newest offerings in the area of business analytics. It will also include a discussion of the role of virtualization in the area of server consolidation, especially the consolidation of many application layer servers onto System z. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
