description: This redbook is an update of a previous redbook called Introduction to Tivoli’s TME 10, SG24-4948, which remains one of the most widely-read Tivoli Redbooks having sold over 5,000 hardcopies in its life. This update reflects what has changed in Tivoli Management Software since Version 3.2 and covers the Tivoli Framework and the core applications of Version 3.6.1 (Tivoli Inventory, Tivoli Software Distribution, Tivoli Distributed Monitoring, Tivoli Enterprise Console, Tivoli User Administration, and Tivoli Security Management). This book also covers the full suite of Tivoli Enterprise products including Tivoli NetView, Tivoli NetView Performance Monitor, Tivoli Performance Reporter, Tivoli Remote Control, Tivoli Workload Scheduler, Tivoli Output Manager, Tivoli Service Desk, Tivoli Storage Manager, Tivoli Global Sign-On, some Tivoli Plus modules, and Tivoli Global Enterprise Manager (GEM). Because Tivoli Enterprise products fit in the category of Enterprise Systems Management (ESM), in the first part of this book, we explain why ESM is essential and what it means. Then, we describe how Tivoli provides an enterprise approach to the ESM issues briefly describing all the products included in the Tivoli Enterprise suite of products. If you are an IS manager, a system administrator, a pre-sales technical specialist, or anyone who wonders what Tivoli Enterprise is and does, read this book to quickly get an understanding of its concepts, functions, and features. This book is divided into eight Introduction, Tivoli Management Framework, Deployment discipline, Availability discipline, Operations discipline, Security discipline, Tivoli modules, and Tivoli management views. The first part contains the introductory chapters on ESM and Tivoli Enterprise Software. The other parts reflect the architecture of Tivoli Enterprise Software. Each chapter covers a product. The products that belong to the core applications contain practical hands-on examples to familiarize readers with the way the basic functions work and to deepen their understanding of the concepts. These chapters also contain tests that can help prepare technical support personnel for Tivoli certification programs.
