This 3 day seminar will give you the essential knowledge you
need to implement and leverage IBM’s Workload License Charges, and PR/SM’s
Intelligent Resource Director. The seminar will help you answer
these questions about WLC and IRD with respect to your installation:
Attendees should bring data from their site to the seminar. During
the seminar some examples will be more meaningful to you if you
can refer to your own site's information. If you have questions
you can ask them during the class, privately during breaks or
at the end of the day. You should bring a list of your installed
software, and the output from the IBM Sub-Capacity Report Tool
or the IBM Sub-Capacity Planning Tool. Information on using these
tools will be emailed after registration in the seminar.
