BMC Mainframe: HSM Implementation & Customisation
The course is developed and delivered by © RSM Technology.
This two-day course is designed, written, and presented by the UK's foremost mainframe storage management specialists. The course describes and explains how best to implement, customise, and utilize HSM. Start-up commands and options are examined in detail, giving practical guidance on performance and availability issues. Customization of the environment is also covered in detail.
Effective management and monitoring of HSM are important if you are to provide a good service to end- users, and techniques to do this are comprehensively covered, as is the important and often neglected subject of disaster backup using HSM. There are a number of challenging practical exercises throughout the course.
