ENTERPRISE STORAGE MANAGEMENT AND DISASTER RECOVERY Tuesday 10 February; Regent Hall London Managing storage resources and disaster recovery procedures within the large enterprise is a huge responsibility, and involves a continual balancing act between appropriate levels of data availability on the one hand, and the cost/performance implications of the storage hierarchy on the other. This briefing provides an update on the latest developments in mainframe storage management and HSM, and reviews the ways in which data centre disciplines can be employed to optimise storage performance, cost, and availability on other platforms. 08.30 Light breakfast and coffee 09.00 Introduction A welcome from Breakfast Network organiser Mark Lillycrop 09.10 Managing Storage Resources on a Mainframe - a Legacy Practice? z/OS storage managers must ensure maximum availability of storage assets, while controlling costs. As the volume of data grows exponentially, managing that data and the associated hardware from multiple vendors is a daunting task. Compounding these business challenges is the expertise required to manage a wide range of storage entities, including DFSMS, DFSMShsm, and diverse RAID technologies. In his presentation, BMC Software Consultant Damian Hunt puts forward a three-step approach to Storage Resource Management (SRM), involving allocation, automation, and reporting. 09.55 Getting the Best out of DFSMShsm DFSMShsm remains a highly complex but critical part of the large systems storage management infrastructure. Mainstar’s Manager of Technical Sales and Professional Services, Colleen Gordon (the co-author of two IBM redbooks on HSM), revisits the key functions and features of HSM and considers ways to take real advantage of its capabilities. Topics include basics and standard administrative tasks; fixing errors reported in the log datasets; interval migration and migration thrashing; using DFSMShsm for extent reduction; auditing the control datasets; and listing tapes that have failed recycle or are in failed create status. 10.40 Coffee 10.55 Managing the Information Lifecycle 30-year storage management veteran Chris Fennessy, Senior Storage Consultant at StorageTek, looks at ways to match the value of corporate information against storage price/performance and business priorities as the data moves within the storage infrastructure. 11.40 Storage, Disaster Recovery, and High Availability Greg Spence, Product Marketing Manager for High Availability at Veritas, presents some findings from recent research into enterprise disaster recovery. He also discusses general DR management principles, and recommends ways to maintain a highly available IT infrastructure. 12.25 End
