• Sommario/riassunto: IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center is designed to provide a single point of control for managing networked storage devices that implement the Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S), including the IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller, Enterprise Storage Server, and FAStT. TotalStorage Productivity Center includes the IBM Tivoli Bonus Pack for SAN Management, bringing together device management with fabric management, to help enable the storage administrator to manage the Storage Area Network from a central point. The storage administrator has the ability to configure storage devices, manage the devices, and view the Storage Area Network from a single point. This software offering is intended to complement other members of the IBM TotalStorage Virtualization family by simplifying and consolidating storage management activities. This IBM Redbooks publication includes an introduction to the TotalStorage Productivity Center and its components. It provides detailed information about the installation and configuration of TotalStorage Productivity Center for Disk and TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication and how to use them. It is intended for anyone wanting to learn about TotalStorage Productivity Center and how it complements an on demand environment and for those planning to install and use the product.
