Course Description
IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.1 lets users manage their systems graphically, dynamically, and flexibly, with a browser-enabled interface that helps transform ‍systems management data into information they need to keep systems up and running. In this course, students will learn how to implement IBM Tivoli ‍Monitoring 6.1 by directly or remotely installing infrastructure components on distributed systems. It also covers migration or upgrade from previous releases, ‍as well as security, availability, and other infrastructure component management tasks.
