  2. IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center Product Commitment

  3. TotalStorage Productivity Center – automating infrastructure management • Centralized Management With Focus on User Experience • Exploiting integration for increased efficiency • Single monitoring/data repository for storage infrastructure • Capacity, SAN, Disk performance • Automation of storage administration • Environment discovery, changes and provisioning

  4. Provides administration and management of storage environment DS8000, DS6000, ESS and DS4000 SAN Volume Controller Non-IBM and disk arrays SAN Fabric Provides automation of storage tasks via workflows Storage provisioning, including storage assignment and fabric zoning Provides management of the file systems and databases Mapping the storage users/consumers to the physical storage assets Ability to report on capacity utilization, forecasting and charge back(mapping storage infrastructure into the customer business) Productivity Center and Storage Management Integrating storage management to provide a single point of control

  6. IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center Components • TotalStorage Productivity Center for Data • Data collection and analysis, file systems and databases • Reporting and quotas • TotalStorage Productivity Center for Fabric • SAN Topology Display and Management • Event reporting • SAN Performance reporting • Zone control • TotalStorage Productivity Center for Disk • Heterogeneous Disk Subsystem Management • Disk Performance Management • Storage Provisioning • TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication • Single point of control for Point-in-time and Remote volume replication services.

  7. Automating the management of storage • Asset management • Discovery of devices, servers, relationships • Detection of environment change • Failures, out of line situations • Collection of performance and capacity information • SAN Fabric, disks, storage capacity • Data Management • Policies for archiving and retention • Performance management • Simplifying the analysis of performance data • Provisioning storage capacity • Faster results, fewer errors Productivity Center reduces administrative effort through automation

  8. Storage Administrators can provision storage directly from Productivity Center Assign Host Ports Assign Volumes to Subsystem Ports Create/Assign Fabric Zone Define RAID Level Create/Delete Volumes Wizard driven Provisioning Storage with Productivity Center Productivity Center Administrators can directly allocate storage, zonethe fabric switches and assign the host ports

  9. Automating Provisioning with Advanced Provisioning Productivity Center Productivity Center with Advanced Provisioning Workflows • End to end server provisioning with storage configuration Make disks usable for applications LUN mapping and masking SAN fabric zoning provisioning Disk Storage Host Configuration SAN Fabrics

  10. Automation of storage provisioning • Policy based storage configuration • Amount, capability, file system type • End-to-end deployment of servers with storage • Volume manager and file system configuration • Integration of delivery processes across IT functions • Allocation of storage capacity • Creation of file systems • Update of backup systems • Automated installation and configuration of Tivoli Storage Manager • IBM and non-IBM storage SAN

  12. ‘Request For Change’ comes to Storage Admin Requesting New Storage Create Request for Change Use this task to initiate a request to make a change to the IT infrastructure. Submitter Desired completion 15-01-2006 I. Admin Exchange Title Additional email storage space Priority High Description of change Add 100 GB of space to Server : Hursley Mail Justification Require space to increase the mail boxes for 1000 users. Impact of not implementing change Potential outage for e-mail users. Type of request Increase Space Amount Units GB 100 Create Cancel

  13. Notes RFC response depends on Service Class Assess Change Request A RFC will be assessed by many people to help quantify the resources required in order to fullfill the request. With this task you can see who is in the process of assessing the change, reassign the assessment, or even skip the assessment. < Additional email storage space > Associated Configuration Items Workflow Install Or Release Mgmt Create I.
