There are just too many Tivoli-related Redbooks. Most are outdate. Very few are good.
This page is a modest attempt to extract some useful information from this monstrous number: most Redbooks are only marginally useful and full of IBM-speak, when nothing can be explained without introducing several definitions and providing a couple of useless tables. Here are links to some Tivoli Redbooks in alphabetical order (borrowed from IBM site in early 2005, not up-to-date):
Table of contents
Part 1. The outlet environment
Chapter 1. The challenges of managing an outlet environment
Chapter 2. The Outlet Solution overview
Chapter 3. The Outlet Systems Management Solution Architecture
Part 2. Management solution implementation
Chapter 4. Installing the Tivoli Infrastructure
Chapter 5. Creating profiles, packages and tasks
Part 3. Putting the solution to use
Chapter 6. Deployment
Appendix A. Configuration files and scripts
Appendix B. Obtaining the installation images
Appendix C. Additional material

IMHO among the most useful TEC Redbooks are the following:
Deploying and managing distributed systems in hundreds or thousands of branch banks and retail stores, called outlets, requires careful planning of the automation to cope with the sheer numbers of systems involved.
This IBM Redbook demonstrates how to architect, establish, and configure a Tivoli systems management environment that supports the central management of thousands of outlet systems based on the open United Linux platform.
The main focus of this book is to provide step-by-step instructions, sample scripts, and code to install and deploy the core Tivoli products that enable the organization to:
- Deploy and maintain distributed application solutions
- Monitor availability and performance of remote systems, middleware components and applications
- Perform diagnostics and troubleshooting of remote system and application components to resolve availability
or performance issues
- Gather metrics to document performance levelsThis book is intended for IT professionals with a basic understanding of the core Tivoli product set and who are responsible for deploying a Tivoli management infrastructure.

IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager controls software distribution and asset management inventory in a multiplatform environment. It is designed for configuration, distribution, change, version, and asset management in a distributed computing environment. Working on top of IBM Tivoli Management Framework, IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager provides an integrated solution for managing complex, distributed enterprise environments.This IBM Redbook introduces the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager logical and physical components and covers detailed planning and implementation steps to deploy IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager in small-to-medium and large-sized environments, including IBM AIX 5L, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and IBM OS/400 systems.
In addition, we talk about best practices, advanced customization, and tuning topics for IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager.
This IBM Redbook will be useful for IT specialists responsible for implementing IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager V4.2.x in customer environments.

TMF Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide / Troubleshooting endpoints
When determining problems with the endpoint, it is important to remember that the endpoint operates in conjunction with two other components of the Tivoli environment: the endpoint manager and the gateway. Therefore, you need to assess the state of several Tivoli Management Framework components when troubleshooting endpoints: the endpoint itself, the gateways it can connect to, and the endpoint manager that is on the Tivoli server.
