Tivoli Productivity Center Installation

IBM Tivoli totalstorage Productivity Center (TPC) is a storage resource management software that manages heterogeneous storage infrastructures through a centralized, WEB-based management console. It helps improve the visibility, controllability, and automation of your data and storage infrastructure. Organizations with multiple storage systems can simplify storage provisioning, performance management, and data replication.

Tivoli Storage Productivity Center simplifies the following data and storage management processes:

• Storage management options from which you can select an advanced GUI or VMware plug-in. It also includes Cognos business Intelligence and pre-engineered reports.

• Storage and Device management to enable rapid deployment with agentless device management-while improving supply consistency and control with smart presets.

• Integrated performance management , consisting primarily of end-to-end views (including devices, SAN fibre networks, and storage systems). The storage infrastructure view around the server enables rapid troubleshooting.

• data replication Management , which enables you to take remote mirroring, snapshot, and replica management, and supports Windows, Linux, UNIX, and System z data.

It can manage heterogeneous storage and IBM System Storage products at the same time. IBM disk support includes: IBM XIV Storage System, IBM System Storage Enterprise Storage Server Models 800 and F20, IBM System Storage DS8000, D Operations control, asset and capacity management, and performance reporting for S6000, DS5000, DS4000, and IBM System Storage SAN Volume controllers. At the same time, IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center is also designed for IBM Totalstorage 3584 Tape LIBRARY/IBM System Storage TS3 500 discovery, asset and capacity reporting, and I The discovery of BM 3494 Tape Library or the release of the feature manager provides support.

Heterogeneous storage support through the Storage Networking Industry Association (Storage Networking Industry Association) Storage Management Initiative specification (SMI-s) 1.0.2 and Version 1.1 (or later) is supported. Management features include operations control, asset/capacity management, and configuration of heterogeneous storage platforms. These include storage devices from Hitachi Data Systems, Hewlett-Packard, Network Appliance, LSI, and Engenio. In addition, the IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center provides performance reports on the ports and switch tiers for the platforms provided by Brocade Communications, McDATA Corp., and Cisco systems.

The IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center product family includes:

-IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center Basic Edition

-IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Data

-IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Disk

-IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Disk Midrange Edition

IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication

IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center Standard Edition

System Structure

The IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center contains several components that form the infrastructure for their storage management capabilities.

• Data server

• This component is a control point for product scheduling functions, configuration, event information, reporting, and graphical user interface (GUI) support. It coordinates the communication with the agent and collects data from it. These agents scan the file system and database to collect memory population statistics and populate the database with the results. You can define automated actions to perform file system expansion, data deletion, Tivoli Storage Productivity Center Backup or archive, or incident reporting when a defined threshold is encountered. The data server is the primary point of contact for GUI user interface functionality. It also includes the ability to schedule data collection and discovery for device servers.

• Device server

• The component discovers the storage subsystem and the SAN fibre Network, collects information from it, analyzes its performance, and controls it. It coordinates the communication with the agent and collects data from it. These agents scan the SAN fabric and storage devices.

• Replication server

• This component coordinates communications and handles tasks related to replication and Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication. In addition, the infrastructure for hosting the Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication GUI is also provided.

• Web Server

• Tivoli Storage Productivity Center uses WebSphere application Server as a Web application server to host its web-based GUI, cloud storage Management API, and VMware VSPH Ere the Web client extends.

• Jazz for Service Management and Tivoli Common Reporting (optional)

• These components will enable the Tivoli Storage Productivity Center report in a Web-based GUI. You can use this reporting tool to create reports and view pre-defined reports to analyze multiple storage systems, switches, servers, and system managers.

• For a large storage environment where one server is not sufficient to manage all Tivoli Storage Productivity Center components, you can install this product on multiple servers. In this environment, the Jazz for Service Management and Tivoli Common Reporting can be run on another server.

• Database

• A single DB instance acts as a repository for all Tivoli Storage Productivity Center components.

• Agent Program

• Storage resource agents, CIM agents, and out-of-band fabric agents can collect information about hosts, applications, storage systems, and SAN fibre networks and send that information to data servers or device servers.

• Gui

• Tivoli Storage Productivity Center provides two graphical user interfaces for managing the storage infrastructure in an enterprise environment: a standalone GUI and a Web-based GUI. Each GUI provides different capabilities to handle monitored resources. To see a comparison of the features available in each GUI, see available features in the interface.

• Cli

• Use the command line interface (CLI) to emit commands for the main Tivoli Storage Productivity Center feature.
