Project Objectives Tivoli Storage Manager(TSM) is an IBM product that provides backup and archive data capabilities http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Tivoli_Storage_Manager • Objective: Demonstrate feasibility of using smartphone to perform basic Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) / VMware management operations How do we manage our backup/archive storage operations on the go, remotely? • Proposed use case for smartphone application • Monitor TSM backup of VMware environment and provide indication of failed VMs • Provide simple method to initiate backup of failed VM (i.e. re-attempt backup is first / standard response to problem) • Goals • Present TSM monitoring information in usable and viewable format • Demonstrate interactions with the following TSM interfaces: • TSM admin interface (monitoring information) • TSM B/A client (backup action) • Discussion Points • Use of native mobile app vs. web based approach • iPhone vs. Droid vs. Blackberry
Project Resources – Products/tools you will play with • Project will use the following environment: • TSM 6.2.3 Backup / Archive Client • Data Protection for VMware 6.2 • TSM 6.2 server • VMware - Recommend VMware vSphere 4 (ESX / ESXi 4.0 or 4.1) and VM’s at HW level 7 (required to utilize Changed Block Tracking)
