  4. Key TPM 7.1 Features and Customer Value New UI Capabilities, including Start CentersCompliance Automationincluding Closed-loop Desired State Management with TADDMPatch Management AutomationSoftware Provisioning Automation Bare metal image deployment with TPM for OS DeploymentTPM task invocation from ISM processesVirtualization Enhancements (VMware, Solaris, WPARs)Reports (BIRT based)New Web Replay

  5. TPM Release 7.1.1 Additions • Migration from TPM 5.1.1.2 to TPM 7.1.1 • Upgrade from TPM 7.1 to 7.1.1 • IPv6 Support • FIPS compliance • Retrofit 5.1.1.2 feature addition (Inventory extension, Pause/Resume) • Red Hat 5 Patch Management on SDI (scalable solution) • Virtualization & server management enhancements • VM status, VMware Templates, Better AIX LPAR support (HMC Discovery, validation, etc.) • Other enhancements (for example, Host/IP change, Sun Patches) • Additional Platforms

  6. TPM 5.1.1.2 to 7.1.1. Migration: Gradual, phased migration process that leverages the existing infrastructure, minimizes disruption, and accommodates failures Common UI for Process Automation (Server + Desktop) TPM7.1.1 Tpae 7.1.1 Depots, & Fed. DMSs 5 Datacenter & Distributed Servers 7.1.1 agents

  7. IPv6 • A dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6) TPM server • A single stack (IPv4 or IPv6) or dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6) managed endpoint running the Tivoli Common Agent. • Full compatibility through the Scalable Distribution Infrastructure (SDI) due to the SDI communications over IPv4 or IPv6 • For the TCA to use IPv6, DNS must be available and the agent must be configured to use DNS. • Only some key Deployment Engine (DE) based workflows (Network discovery, Inventory, Windows Patch & Agent install) • Some limitations on Windows platforms due to reliance on CYGWIN components like SSH, Telnet, Ping

  8. FIPS Compliance • Requires using approved Stronger Encryption schemes everywhere • Encrypting passwords • SSL • SSH • Certificates • Implications to TPM • Agents and server have to change at the same time • We are requiring a fresh install with a switch to flip • Implementation • Use the approved libraries • At times it is simply configuring the right libraries. At times it is more. • Not all components used by TPM have FIPS compliant versions (for example, RXA over NETBIOS and Open SSH)

  9. Inventory Extension Common UI for Process Automation (Server + Desktop) DCM Custom tables TPM7.1.1 DCM import + Filters 7.1.1 Depots, & Fed. DMSs Disc. Scan jobs Custom scan scripts XML or MIF output Datacenter & Distributed Servers 7.1.1 agents

  11. Customer Value with TPM 7.1 New, Highly Customizable TPM GUI technology • Easy modification of existing applications. • Ability to create your own applications. • Easily customizable to display only required data and tasks for a specific role/user • Consistent look and feel across ISM products provides seamless interactions and minimizes user education requirements • Can incorporate functions from multiple ISM products on single screen Inclusion of TPM tasks in Change, Release, and SRM process flow definitions Ability to easily take TPM actions on CCMDB CIs • Use CMDB CI’s as database for process flow construction and information is automatically translated to TPM DCM for operational purposes. Ability to use Tpae workflow editor to design and formalize TPM activities • Can define Tpae workflows to formalize and automate multi-person TPM activity flows • TPM activity flows can include non-TPM related tasks, i.e. sign-offs, escalations, etc. Extensive Web Replay scenario library provides guidelines/education on product usage • Quick method for product education and skills transfer

  12. Customer Value with TPM 7.1 (cont.) Orchestration automation capabilities built in TPM 7.1 • Advanced automation technology can be used to support infrastructure SLA’s through dynamic resource allocation based on monitoring inputs (TIO built in) Enhanced integration with TADDM, TPC, RTLM • TADDM – Closed loop desired state management for software configurations • TPC – Launch in context from TPM to TPC • RTLM – Test lab server provisioning with transitions to production Integration with TPMfOSD 7.1 • Seamless transition from using TPM to using TPMfOSD; no product switching to utilize bare-metal/initial image install functions • Automated database exchange between products Enhanced SDI management capabilities • Better status information and enhanced control of deployment infrastructure Additional virtualization technology support • Increased scope of environment under management of a single tool Additional OS support • Increased scope of environment under management of a single tool

  18. Device Models and Automation Concepts • A Device Driver, also referred to as a Device Model, is a group of workflows that can be a applied to an IT asset. • Common actions, such as adding an IP address to a computer, are represented in a generic form by a logical device operation • Workflow: A simple program with a number of constructs that is used to manage an environment. • Automation Package: A collection of commands, shell scripts, workflows, logical device operations, and Java™ plug-ins that applies to the operation of a specific type of software component or a physical device
