Not only am I finally home, but I just got some good news too! I just got off the phone and finished verbally excepting a new position at work! I will be joining the Infrastructure Services group as A Systems Manager. I will be responsible for monitoring and implementing system backups across all the company systems. These systems are located all across the globe, so all of my work will involve remote access to these systems. In addition to the diverse location of these systems, the operating systems running on them will also be diverse. I will be learning to work with AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, various versions of Linux, and some Windows systems. While I already have experience working on many of these systems, I have vary little experience installing, updating, and managing backup clients and schedules. I will be working with IBM’s Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) in a capacity that I have never done before. Eventually I will also learn to allocate SAN disk to systems as well, as that also falls to my group to manage. I am very excited to have this opportunity and though I know I will face a large learning curve, I am excited to jump in and see what I can do. I guess I will find out just how much of a learning curve I will face tomorrow, when I go into work.
