If I can add some... if someone is claiming to be an architect/designer, at lease he/she should have some working experience of SAN/NAS and most of the OS. You can not design by just knowing TSM or for that matter all other enterprise backup products. But TSM admin does not necessarily need to know all that to support the TSM environment.
Pawlos -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Bruce T. Harvey Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 10:39 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Not technical more managerial question My two cents: If they person doesn't hold a IBM Certified Advanced Deployment Professional - IBM Service Management Tivoli Storage Management Solutions V2 certification, then I'd want them to be at least a Deployment Professional in TSM and have performed the archtecting of at least one or two successful TSM-based implementations. Or have implemented many successful TSM-based solutions of varying complexity. An administrator doesn't necessarily need to 'design' the implementation, though the admin needs to understand it. If that riles up a few administrators who feel they can architect a solution ... I suggest becoming certified as a deployment professional or advanced deployment professional (might as well let the cert reflect who you truly are, even if your position is "only" an admin position ... ;-).
