  7. Vision Driving TPC 3.1 • Centralized Management With Focus on User Experience and Time to Value • Host to Spindle Performance Analysis • Single monitoring/data repository for storage infrastructure (capacity, SAN, Disk) • Linkage to ILM Processes – both at data and device levels

  8. Control Interface Monitor Interface Discovery Interface Class Mapper Control Translator Class Mapper Monitor Class Mapper Class Mapper Copy Services (eCS) DB Driver CIM Client Library ESSNI Library Agent Library SNMP Library … Single TPC Suite Install Integrated UI TPC 3.1 Architecture Replication Interfaces (6 UIs into 1) Automated Best Practices Provisioning / Workflow CLI WSDL Data Fabric Disk Replication (future) Management Applications Device Discovery And Control (Consolidated and Enhanced) Consolidated Database (5 DBs into 1) Scheduling, Reporting/Charting, Messages Logging (Consolidated) Infrastructure (multiple WAS into 1)

  10. IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center Standard Edition Productivity Center For Data Productivity Center For Disk Productivity Center For Fabric Limited Edition Introducing TPC Version 3 Release 1 New Features A Single Application with modular components Simplified Install Single Sign-on Streamlined Installation and Packaging Consistent Reporting Capabilities (Scheduled, Ad-Hoc) Storage topology viewer Single User Interface - File System, Database, Fabric and Storage management - Asset, Capacity and Performance Reporting Data Export Capabilities (html, CSV) Role based administration AIX support for TPC server Single set of services for consistent administration andoperations Policy Definitions, Event Handling, Resource Groups Security Fabric performance management Tape discovery and asset/capacity reporting Single Database and Schema Correlated host, fabric, storage information Performance Management for DS4000 and Heterogeneous Storage Heterogeneous Storage Provisioning TPC Standard Edition for the full suite or orderable separately

  11. TPC 3.1 Server Platforms • Linux RedHat 3.0 on xSeries • AIX 5.3 including on POWER5 • Windows/2003 New

  12. Single Signon for all components Roles are provided for administration (full access) and operation (read only access) Super user role provided Users can belong to more than one role The complete set of roles are: TPC Superuser TPC Administrator Data Administrator Data Operator Disk Administrator Disk Operator Fabric Administrator Fabric Operator Tape Administrator Tape Operator User Profiles for Productivity Center Operators and Administrators Productivity Center

  14. Storage Administrators can provision storage directly from TPC Assign Host Ports Assign Volumes to Subsystem Ports Create/Assign Fabric Zone Define RAID Level Create/Delete Volumes Label Volumes Creating Volumes with TPC TPC Administrators can directly allocate storage, zonethe fabric switches and assign the host ports

  15. Storage and Fabric Bottleneck Analysis • TPC for Fabric monitors switches and ports for throughput rates and allows you to specify throughput threshold • TPC for Disk monitors disk subsystem ports, subsystem arrays, disk volumes for throughput, I/O and cache rates, as well as for response times • Thresholds can be set for these metrics and alerts are generated when thresholds are violated, indicating potential bottlenecks. • TPC Topology console will show all performance violations and propagate the thresholds events through performance health monitor icons • Storage administrator can see end to end view of fabric and disk subsystem performance and assess business impact and drill into potential or actual problem areas

  16. SAN Predictive Fault Monitoring • Most SAN link failures due to deteriorating Fibre Optics • Typically appear as intermittent frame errors long before hard failure • TPC 3.1 provides Error Frame Rate Report that identifies suspect ports • The average number of frames received in error, per second, for specified ports • Recommend setting this switch alert (recommended values still being investigated)

  17. TPC Device Management Matrix (TPC 3.1)

  18. Storage Devices Supported in TPC 3.1 • IBM Disk Support (Disk and Data) • Operation Control, Asset/Capacity/Performance Reporting • ESS 800, Fxx • DS4100 , 4300, 4400, 4500, 4800 • SAN Volume Controller 2.1 • DS6000/DS8000 • 3rd party disk support (via SMIS 1.0.2/1.1) (Disk and Data) • Operational control, Asset/Capacity Reporting, PERFORMANCE (1.1) • *HDS Thunder 9500V, Lightning 9900V, • *HPQ StorageWorks Virtual Array family • *HPQ XP 512, 1024 • *EMC Symmetrix • *EMC Clariion • Engenio • 3rd party fabric support (Fabric) • Brocade, McData, Cisco for Performance management • Most vendors for discovery, monitoring, reporting, zone control • IBM Tape Support (Disk and Data) • Asset/Capacity Reporting • Tape Library Support (3584 and 3494)

  19. Overview of Tape in TPC 3.1 • Discovery, monitoring, asset and capacity reporting • Interception of tape-related indications (converted SNMP traps) • Are added to TPC Alert Log • Status of discovered tape resources updated upon reception • Launching of „Element Manager“ (Specialist) • All the above functions are based on SMI-S 1.1 • Topology Viewer integration (new in TPC 3.1) • Graphical display of network topology, including host connections • Allows quick health-check and drill-down capabilities • Supported libraries in 3.1 (test-constrained): • IBM 3584: fully supported, including indications (via ICAT4Tape 1.1.1) • IBM 3494: partial support only (discovery and launch Specialist)
