4. Key TPM 7.1 Features and Customer Value
New UI Capabilities, including Start Centers Compliance Automation including Closed-loop Desired State Management with TADDM Patch Management Automation Software Provisioning Automation Bare metal image deployment with TPM for OS Deployment TPM task invocation from ISM processes Virtualization 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 feature addition (Inventory extension, Pause/Resume)
Red Hat 5 Patch Management on SDI (scalable solution)

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)

11. Customer Value with TPM 7.1
IBM Software Group | Tivoli Brand Software
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

IBM Software Group | Tivoli Brand Software
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

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
