[NV-L] Residency Announcement: TI-6A12-R01 NetView to Netcool/Precision for IP: Migration Best Practices

[Stephen Hochstetler <shochste@us.ibm.com>]

To all,

The following announcement is for a Redbook project that will be starting up in October on the 23rd. There are links in the note to the website with even more information. Everyone is welcome to fill out a nomination form for the residency. This is an excellent opportunity to get your hands on the Netcool/Precision for IP environment while building a migration Redbook. This should be helpful to all of the NetView experts on this list. I need several good people to nominate themselves as residents. Anyone with questions can email me directly at shochste@us.ibm.com.

While looking at the residency web page you will find the link to the nomination page in the upper right hand corner.

thanks, steve

Benefits to Resident: You will be working closely with development, services, and support people to verify and document migration best practices. You will be both expected to contribute your own best practices as well as learn new ones from your peers in the team.

If you already know the NetView and Switch Analyzer applications, you will learn how to set up and migrate configurations and data while using the Precision IP application set. You will be enabled to help customers perform this migration.

If you already know Precision IP, you will be learning how to help customers migrate from existing NetView systems and deepen your Precision IP knowledge.

This residency begins 23 Oct 2006, ends 17 Nov 2007 (5 weeks), and requires 5 residents. The residency is running in Austin TX.

Nominations should be submitted online on the Web by 11 Oct 2006.

Residency Description

Description:  This IBM Redbook will address the best practices when migrating your IBM NetView and IBM Switch Analyzer network mangagement environments to Precision IP.

Part 1 - Planning the Migration
Focuses on what to do before you commence the migration, and how to set the scope within the migration constraints and come up with your migration strategy. Understanding the benefits of the Precision IP archictecture will help the administrator develop and communicate the strategy.

Part 2 - Migration Best Practices
In Part 2, we look at migration tools and processes to configure Precision IP with information available in the NetView server. This will also include how to migrate specific customizations from the NetView application to Precision IP. Processes familiar to NetView operators will be documented using the Precision IP toolset, including recommendations for which features of Precision IP to explore first.


Objectives:  The objective of this residency is to produce a migration Redbook useful to both customers and field personnel.
