BMC AMI Storage Automation 8.x: Fundamentals Using (WBT)
BMC AMI Storage solution simplifies and centralizes the management of IBM® z/ OS® storage automation and exception processing across SYSPlex and multi-LPAR environments. BMC AMI Storage Reporting, Automation, and Allocation products are part of the BMC AMI Storage solution. The BMC AMI Storage Automation component provides powerful event-generation and storage-automation technology across the storage enterprise.
This course will help storage administrators understand how they can use the Automation component of BMC AMI Storage solution to identify and monitor storage conditions that need to be handled. Also, they will be able to create event-based automation to handle those conditions without human intervention.
Note: BMC AMI Storage was formerly known as MainView SRM™, and BMC AMI Storage Automation was formerly known as MainView SRM™ Enterprise Storage Automation.
