IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager: A Practical Introduction
by Charlotte Brooks, Michel Baus, Michael Benanti, Ivo Gomilsek, Urs Moser
Overview
Storage growth continues to accelerate, and the cost of disk can
approach 80% of total system hardware costs. Yet, the storage in
most businesses is typically only about 50% used. How can you take
control of your storage assets to render utilization more
efficient, and make the most of your storage dollars?
IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager helps you discover, monitor,
and create enterprise policies for your filesystems and databases.
You will find out where all your storage is going and be able to
act intelligently on this information. Application availability is
improved because you will have early warnings when filesystems are
running out of space. If you are thinking about server
consolidation, you can use IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager to
help efficiently utilize your accumulated storage resources.
This IBM Redbooks publication shows how to install, configure, and
protect the IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager environment; how to
create policies; how to define automated actions like scripts or
SNMP events when policies are violated; and how to produce
detailed, meaningful storage reports. This book is intended for
those who want to learn more about IBM Tivoli Storage Resource
Manager and for those who are about to implement it.
The second edition of this book is updated for IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Version 1.2
