Back Cover

In this IBM Redbook, we show you how to design and create highly available IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler and IBM Tivoli Management Framework (TMR server, Managed Nodes and Endpoints) environments. We present High Availability Cluster Multiprocessing (HACMP) for AIX and Microsoft Windows Cluster Service (MSCS) case studies.

The implementation of IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler within a high availability environment will vary from platform to platform and from customer to customer, based on the needs of the installation. Here, we cover the most common scenarios and share practical implementation tips. We also give recommendations for other high availability platforms; although there are many different clustering technologies in the market today, they are similar enough to allow us to give useful advice regarding the implementation of a highly available scheduling system.

Finally, although we basically address highly available scheduling systems, we also offer a section for customers who want to implement a highly available IBM Tivoli Management Framework environment, but who are not currently using IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler. This publication is intended to be used as a major reference for designing and creating highly available IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler and Tivoli Framework environments.
