An Introduction to Tivoli's TME 10, SG24-4948-01
  Abstract
Consistent and Centralized management of distributed systems of different brands and architectures is crucial to large customer environments. Tivoli's TME 10, which stands for Tivoli Management Environment, is a suite of distributed systems management (DSM) products that has been gaining a lot of attention within International Business Machines (IBM) and among customers since the merger between IBM and Tivoli. If you are an IS manager, a system administrator, or anyone who wonders what Tivoli's TME 10 is and does, read this book to quickly get an understanding of its concepts, functions and features. As a system administrator, you will receive invaluable help and get started quickly when you follow the hand-on tutorial in Part 2 of the book. The first part of this book presents a high-level technical overview of the concepts and architecture of the TME 10 core components, notably:

--TME 10 Framework (object oriented, CORBA-based framework) --TME 10 User Administration (user and UNIX host management) --TME 10 Software Distribution (software distribution) --TME 10 Inventory (inventory management) --TME 10 Distributed Monitoring (monitoring of computing resources) --TME 10 Enterprise Console (monitoring and managing resources)

Part 2 walks step-by-step through the installation for all of the above products on different platforms, such as UNIX, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 3.1, and OS/2. Some practical, hands-on examples are added to familiarize readers with the way the basic functions work and to deepen their understanding of the concepts explained in Part 1.
