IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager dynamically provisions, and deprovisions, server instances. It does so based on the end-to-end service-level achievement that is provided by the IBM Enterprise Workload Manager and coordinated by IBM Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator. This IBM Redpaper explains how the integration of Enterprise Workload Manager and Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator can proficiently and automatically provision systems and application middleware. In doing so, we demonstrate how business goals continue to be achieved, regardless of varying transaction rates, with efficient use of the system resources in an environment. The paper begins with an overview of the products followed by the Enterprise Workload Manager and Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator provisioning solution components. Then it describes our test environment and the installation and customization that we performed.

This IBM Redpaper provides detailed how-to instructions for creating a virtualized environment for the provisioning of 3-tiered composite applications using IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager V3.1 with the help of a 13-step walk through of the activities required to reach your goal. In addition, descriptions of the Tivoli Provisioning Manager V3.1 software model is provided. This material is intended for IT professionals who specialize in deployment of systems, middleware, and application software to support on-demand production environments. A basic understanding of networking, clustering techniques, and the functions and features of Tivoli Provisioning Manager V3.1 will greatly increase the benefits of studying this material. This IBM Redpaper is based on material that was originally developed for a instructor-led workshop. However, it is the hope of the IBM International Technical Support Organization that publishing the material to a wider audience will be helpful and provide guidance on the functions and use of Tivoli Provisioning Manager V3.1, despite the workshop environment not being available.

This IBM Redpaper presents a simplified customer environment in which we demonstrate a case study for provisioning applications developed using IBM Rational ClearCase. This paper focuses on the tasks required for planning, implementing, and configuring all components of IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for dynamic provisioning of applications directly from the IBM Rational ClearCase software repository to a target server. The following topics are discussed: - Scenario overview - Scenario implementation overview - Setting up IBM Rational ClearCase software repository - Data Center modeling - Workflow design and development - Automation Package assembly and installation - Scenario execution

This IBM Redpaper provides details about the dynamic provision of SAP application servers using IBM Dynamic Infrastructure for mySAP. The IBM Dynamic Infrastructure for mySAP solution relies on IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager V2.1 for provisioning and deprovisioning operations. This paper focuses on the tasks required for planning, implementing, and configuring all of the components that make up IBM Dynamic Infrastructure for mySAP.

This IBM Redpaper is an introduction to storage provisioning and is written for anyone who needs to understand IBM automated storage provisioning tools. The IBM storage provisioning solution is based on Tivoli Provisioning Manager. This paper examines TPM's support for storage provisioning in detail and describe how it can be used standalone or combined with IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center to create a comprehensive storage management and provisioning solution. To illustrate the power of automated storage provisioning, an example of a storage provisioning solution written to manage an IBM TotalStorage SAN File System is used. This shows how automated storage provisioning can simplify tasks, eliminate the chance of human error, and reduce the time taken to provision servers with SAN attached storage.
