No, you are not seeing double. This is a closely related project to the one I just sent. Basically a team of 6 people will collaborate to produce a redbook (covering just Tivoli SAN Management software) and workshop materials (covering the SAN Management software as well as topics related to using TSM in a SAN environment). Again, unfortunately because this is working with un-announced products, we can only accept nominations from IBM, Tivoli and Business Partners.

It includes close interaction with development for skill transfer and constant review, and focused project work in a dynamic team environment. The resident will gain first-hand product knowledge and unique hands-on experience in a risk-free lab environment. This knowledge will be particularly important to residents where consultancy and services are involved. This San Jose residency begins 02 Oct 2000, ends 10 Nov 2000 (6 weeks), and requires 2 residents. Please submit nominations by 05 Sep 2000. Description: This workshop will be based on the results of two IBM Redbook residencies, Managing a SAN, and Tivoli Storage Manager in a SAN Environment. Under SAN Management, it will describe how a SAN Fabric and attached storage systems can be managed using the upcoming Tivoli SAN management software products. Managed components to be discussed include SAN fabric devices and links (including FC-AL, hubs, switches, routers) as well as resources, such as hosts, disks, and tapes. Configuration concepts such as zoning, storage assignment and LUN-masking will be described. In addition, topics related to Tivoli Storage Manage in a SAN environment, including LAN-free backup and tape library sharing, will be included. This workshop will cover the element and network layers of the Tivoli management model. Objectives: The objective of the residency is to produce workshop materials "Managing a SAN Environment", which will cover the Tivoli SAN Management products. The workshop documents installation, implementation, customization, and exploitation of this product in a heterogenous SAN environment, as well as integration/co-existence with specific hardware and software such as IBM ESS and SANergy. It also covers usage of Tivoli Storage Manager in a SAN environment, specifically the concepts of LAN-free backup and tape library sharing. The residency will include hands-on exploration of the new products and features in our ITSO multi-vendor SAN lab, a close interaction with development for skill transfer and constant review, and focused project work in a dynamic team environment. The resident will gain early first-hand product knowledge and hands-on experience in a risk-free lab environment. This project team will consult with the project team of ST-0525 in order to jointly prepare the IBM Redbook "Tivoli SAN Management: A Practical Guide". This residency is suitable for 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: An important requirement for this residency is practical experience in designing, implementing, and managing heterogeneous SAN environments. General storage management and network management skills are also desirable. Residents should have worked on solving specific SAN management problems and be prepared to develop solutions using the new software. It is beneficial for candidates to have participated in multiple concrete projects (please give details in nomination). At least one resident should also have substantial Tivoli Storage Manager skills and experience. Because of the nature of the deliverables (Technical Guide redbook and workshop material), good graphical and conceptual communication skills are crucial. Fluent English, both oral and written, is a prerequisite. 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.
