In thissection we show how this components are related and we describe them briefly. We alsodescribe the different interfaces that you can use to access Tivoli Storage Productivity Centerand finally its integration with other products.1.2.1 Architecture overviewFigure 1-1 illustrates an architectural overview for IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center.Figure 1-1 Tivoli Storage Productivity Center Version 4.2 - Architecture Overview Chapter 1. Tivoli Storage Productivity Center V4.2 introduction and overview 3 23. 7894Overview.fmDraft Document for Review February 17, 2011 2:17 am1.2.2 Data server This component is the control point for product scheduling functions, configuration, event information, reporting, and graphical user interface (GUI) support. It coordinates communication with and data collection from agents that scan file systems and databases to gather storage demographics and populate the database with results. Automated actions can be defined to perform file system extension, data deletion, and Tivoli Storage Manager backup or archiving, or event reporting when defined thresholds are encountered. The Data server is the primary contact point for GUI user interface functions. It also includes functions that schedule data collection and discovery for the Device server.1.2.3 Device server This component discovers, gathers information from, analyzes performance of, and controls storage subsystems and SAN fabrics. It coordinates communication with and data collection from agents that scan SAN fabrics and storage devices.1.2.4 Tivoli Integrated Portal IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center V4 is integrated with IBM Tivoli Integrated Portal (TIP). This integration provides functionalities like single sign-on and the use of Tivoli Common Reporting. Single sign-on Enables you to access Tivoli Storage Productivity Center and then Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication using a single user ID and password. Tivoli Common Reporting Tivoli Common Reporting (TCR) is a component provided by TIP. It is one possible option to implement customized reporting solutions using SQL database access, providing output in HTML, PDF or Microsoft Excel. Note that Tivoli Common Reporting is intended to provide a platform to reproduce custom reports in an easy way or for reports that are to be run repeatedlytypically on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. It does not provide any online report creation or report customization features.1.2.5 Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication Starting with TPC V4.1, the IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication product is starting to get integrated into TPC. Currently the integration is limited to basic functions such as providing Launch in Context links in the TPC GUI, as well as crosschecks when a volume is deleted with TPC and mapping of user roles.1.2.6 DB2 database A single database instance serves as the repository for all Tivoli Storage Productivity Center components. This repository is where all of your storage information and usage statistics are stored. All agent and user interface access to the central repository is done through a series of calls and requests made to the server. All database access is done using the server component to maximize performance and to eliminate the need to install database connectivity software on your agent and UI machines.4 Tivoli Storage Productivity Center V4.2 Release Update 24. Draft Document for Review February 17, 2011 2:17 am7894Overview.fm1.2.7 AgentsOutside of the server, there are several interfaces that are used to gather information aboutthe environment. The most important sources of information are the TPC agents (Storageresource agent, Data agent and Fabric agent) as well as SMI-S enabled storage devices thatuse a CIMOM agent (either embedded or as a proxy agent).Storage Resource agent, CIM agents, and Out of Band fabric agents gather host, application,storage system, and SAN fabric information and send that information to the Data Server orDevice server.Note that Data agents and Fabric agents are supported in Tivoli Storage Productivity CenterV4.2. However, no new functions were added to those agents for this release. For optimalresults when using Tivoli Storage Productivity Center, migrate the Data agents and Fabricagents to Storage Resource agents.1.2.8 InterfacesAs TPC gathers information from your storage (servers, subsystems, and switches) acrossyour enterprise, it accumulates a repository of knowledge about your storage assets and howthey are used. You can use the reports provided in the user interface view and analyze thatrepository of information from various perspectives to gain insight into the use of storageacross your enterprise.The user interfaces (UI) enable users to request information and then generate and displayreports based on that information. Certain user interfaces can also be used for configurationof TPC or storage provisioning for supported devices.The following interfaces are available for TPC:TPC GUI:This is the central point of TPC administration. Here you have the choice of configuringTPC after installation, define jobs to gather information, initiate provisioning functions,view reports, and work with the advanced analytics functions.Java Web Start GUI:When you use Java Web Start, the regular TPC GUI will be downloaded to yourworkstation and started automatically, so you do not have to install the GUI separately.The main reason for using the Java Web Start is that it can be integrated into otherproducts (for example, TIP). By using Launch in Context from those products, you will beguided directly to the select panel. The Launch in Context URLs can also be assembledmanually and be used as bookmarks.TPCTOOL:This is a command line (CLI) based program which interacts with the TPC Device Server.Most frequently it is used to extract performance data from the TPC repository database inorder to create graphs and charts with multiple metrics, with various unit types and formultiple entities (for example, Subsystems, Volumes, Controller, Arrays) using chartingsoftware. Commands are entered as lines of text (that is, sequences of types ofcharacters) and output can be received as text. Furthermore, the tool provides queries,management, and reporting capabilities, but you cannot initiate Discoveries, Probes andperformance collection from the tool.Database access:Starting with TPC V4, the TPC database provides views that provide access to the datastored in the repository, which allows you to create customized reports. The views and the Chapter 1. Tivoli Storage Productivity Center V4.2 introduction and overview 5 25. 7894Overview.fmDraft Document for Review February 17, 2011 2:17 amrequired functions are grouped together into a database schema called TPCREPORT. Forthis, you need to have sufficient knowledge about SQL. To access the views, DB2supports various interfaces, for example, JDBC and ODBC.1.2.9 Integration with other applications In this section, we describe Tivoli Storage Productivity Center integration with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for backup or archival of files, IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) or any other SNMP manager for alert notification. Integration with Tivoli Storage Manger Use the Archive/Backup function available within the Reporting facility to define IBM Tivoli Storage Manager archive or backup jobs to run against the files that you select from reports. This function enables you to select a specific file or group of files from Data Manager reports that you want to archive or backup using Tivoli Storage Manager. Some of this reports include largest files, most obsolete files, duplicate files and constraint violations. The results of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive commands are viewable through the graphical user interface. In the case of constraints configured to archive-backup violating files, the results are included in the agent scan job logs (scans are responsible for enforcing constraints). In the case of file report driven archive-backup operations, a new type of job (archive-backup job) is created. The results of the backup operations in this case are found in archive-backup job logs. SNMP For users planning to use the Simple Network Managment Protocol (SNMP) trap alert notification capabilities of Tivoli Storage Productivity Center, SNMP Management Information Base (SNMP MIB) files are included on the installation media. The MIB is provided for use by your SNMP management console software (for example, IBM Tivoli NetView or HP Openview). This will allow you to better view TPC-generated SNMP traps from within your management console software. Integration with Tivoli Enterprise Console Netcool/OMNIbus Tivoli Storage Productivity Center can use the Event Integration Facility (EIF) to send messages to the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) or the follow-on product Netcool/OMNIbus. This can allow one of the two central monitoring applications to consider Tivoli Storage Productivity Center alerts in causal analysis for problems. TEC/OMNIbus is added as a destination for alerts, in addition to SNMP Trap and Windows Event Log.1.3 Tivoli Storage Productivity Center family In this section we describe the Tivoli Storage Productivity Center components.1.3.1 TPC for Data Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Data provides over 400 enterprise-wide reports, monitoring and alerts, policy-based action and file-system capacity automation in a heterogeneous environment.

Instead, you can download and install the PuTTYgenutility from a website.With SSPC 1.5, single sign-on authentication is extended to SAN Volume Controller.When you use single sign-on authentication, you can enter one user ID and password toaccess multiple applications.IBM Storwize V7000Storwize V7000 is a hardware and software solution that provides online storageoptimization through real-time data compression. This solution helps to reduce costswithout performance degradation.The Storwize V7000 hardware consists of a set of drive enclosures. Control enclosurescontain disk drives and two node canisters. The two nodes within the canisters make anI/O group that is attached to the SAN fabric. A single pair of nodes is responsible forserving I/O on a given volume. Because a volume is served by two nodes, there is no lossof availability if one node fails or is taken offline.Storwize V7000 can be used as a traditional RAID storage system where the internaldrives are configured into arrays, and volumes are created from those arrays. StorwizeV7000 can also be used to virtualize other storage systems.Storwize V7000 supports both regular and solid-state drives (SSDs). A Storwize V7000system without any internal drives can be used as a storage virtualization solution.Tivoli Storage Productivity Center provides basic support for this product, includingdiscovery, probes, performance monitoring, Storage Optimizer, and SAN Planner.Similar to other systems, Storwize V7000 is displayed as an entity within data sources,reports, data collection schedules, the topology viewer, and so on. Tivoli StorageProductivity Center for Replication also supports Storwize V7000.Like SAN Volume Controller, single sign-on authentication is available to Storwize V7000.System Storage DS Storage Manager Release 10.70The IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager user interface is available for you tooptionally install on the SSPC server or on a remote server. The DS Storage Manager10.70 can manage the DS3000, DS4000, and DS5000. With DS Storage Manager 10.70,when you use Tivoli Storage Productivity Center to add and discover a DS CIM agent youcan start the DS Storage Manager from the topology viewer, the Configuration Utility, orthe Disk Manager of Tivoli Storage Productivity Center.IBM Java Release 1.6IBM Java 1.6 is preinstalled and can be used with DS Storage Manager 10.70. You do notneed to download Java from Sun Microsystems.DS CIM agent management commandsThe DS CIM agent management commands (DSCIMCLI) for Release 6.0 are preinstalledon the SSPC server.Optional media to recover image for 2805-MC5Order Feature Code 9010 if you did not back up your SSPC 2805-MC5 image and you needto recover it.

At the time of this book release is only used under IBM System Director version 6.2.1 using Tivoli Storage Productivity Center V4.2.1.1.4 New function since version 4.1 In this section we describe the new functions provided in Tivoli Storage Productivity Center from V4.2 highlighting the changes since Tivoli Storage Productivity Center V4.1.1.4.1 What is new for Tivoli Storage Productivity Center In this section we provide a summary of the new functions in Tivoli Storage Productivity Center V4.2 since V4.1. Native storage system interfaces provided for DS8000, SVC and XIV To improve the management capabilities and performance of data collection for the DS8000, SAN Volume Controller (SVC), and XIV storage systems, native storage system interfaces are provided. Now TPC communicates with these storage systems through ESSNI interface for DS8000, SSH for SVC and XCLI for XIV. These interfaces replace the CIM agent (SMI-S agent) implementation. SAN Volume Controller When you add the SAN Volume Controller to Tivoli Storage Productivity Center, you need to supply a private SSH key. Tivoli Storage Productivity Center requires OpenSSH key or putty (.ppk) key format. More information can be found in IBM SAN Volume Controller on page 225. Configure Devices wizard Use the Configure Devices wizard to set up storage devices for monitoring by IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center. The wizard guides you through the steps for adding a device as a data source, running a discovery, including devices in groups, specifying alerts, and setting up data collection schedules. The wizard supports configuration of storage subsystems, fabrics and switches, computers and tape libraries. Job Management panel The Job Management panel in the user interface lets you view and manage the schedules, runs, and jobs related to the storage entities that are monitored by Tivoli Storage Productivity Center. Storage Resource agents The Storage Resource agents now perform the functions of the Data agents and Fabric agents (Out-of-band Fabric agents are still supported and their function has not changed.). Before you migrate an existing Data agent or Fabric agent to a Storage Resource agent or deploy a new Storage Resource agent, make sure that the product functions you want to use on the monitored devices are available for those agents.10 Tivoli Storage Productivity Center V4.2 Release Update 30. Draft Document for Review February 17, 2011 2:17 am7894Overview.fmData agents, Fabric agents, and Agent ManagerThe Data agents, Fabric agents, and Agent Manager are supported in the current release butno new functions were added to these components. The legacy Data agents and Fabricagents are supported at version 3.3.x and 4.1.x, and can communicate with the Tivoli StorageProductivity Center 4.2 server. You can also select to migrate the Data agents and Fabricagents to Storage Resource agents.The Tivoli Storage Productivity Center V4.2 installation program does not support installationof the Data agent or Fabric agent. If you want to install the legacy Data agent or Fabric agent,you must have a previous Tivoli Storage Productivity Center installation program thatsupports installing the Data agent or Fabric agent.If you are installing DB2 9.7 and want to use the Agent Manager, you must install a newrelease of Agent Manager 1.4.2 or later. Agent Manager 1.3 does not support DB2 9.7.Most of the information about Tivoli Common Agent Services has been removed from theTivoli Storage Productivity Center version 4.2 documentation. However, this information isstill available in the Information Center for Tivoli Storage Productivity Center version 4.1.1.SAN PlannerTivoli Storage Productivity Center provides a new SAN Planner wizard which has beenenhanced to support the following functions.SAN Volume Controller with provisioning and workload profilesThe SAN Planner recommendations are limited to SAN Volume Controller front-endoperations only. The support includes the creation and provisioning of VDisks with therecommended I/O group and preferred node for each VDisk. The SAN Planner does notsupport back-end operations such as the creation of new MDisks or the creation or expansionof MDisk groups.Space-only planning for all storage subsystemsAll storage subsystems supported by Tivoli Storage Productivity Center can be used forspace-based planning.Resiliency profile for TPC for Replication supported devicesThe SAN Planner has a new profile called the resiliency profile for resilient resources. Theresiliency profile is created internally when you select different options in the SAN Plannerwizard. Resilient resource planning is available only for devices which are supported by TivoliStorage Productivity Center for Replication. The supported devices are DS8000, DS6000,ESS, and SAN Volume Controller.Space-efficient volumesThe SAN Planner now has an option to provision space-efficient volumes on supportedstorage subsystems. These storage subsystems are: SVC (v4.3 or later), XIV (v10.1 or later),and DS8000 (v4.3 or later).Encrypted volumesTivoli Storage Productivity Center supports encrypted volumes for the DS8000. The SANPlanner has been enhanced to allow input from the user for encrypted volumes as needed.The SAN Planner currently supports encrypted volumes for the DS8000 and SAN VolumeController (if the DS8000 is used as a backend device).
