HSM Implementation and Control

The course teaches the implementation and control of HSM.

This course is suitable for systems programmers and storage administrators who are responsible for implementing and managing Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM) within a z/OS installation.

Delegates are expected to have an understanding of z/OS Storage Management, which can be obtained from our z/OS Storage Management Fundamentals course, as well as general system programming and operator’s skills.

The course covers all practical aspects of installing HSM and the ongoing management and control tasks.

Lab exercises are included to support the learning process.
