Tivoli Storage Productivity Center simplifies storage management by providing the
following benefits:
v Centralizing the management of heterogeneous storage network resources with
IBM storage management software
v Providing greater synergy between storage management software and IBM
storage devices
v Reducing the number of servers that are required to manage your software
infrastructure
v Migrating from basic device management to storage management applications
that provide higher-level functions
With the help of agents, Tivoli Storage Productivity Center discovers the devices to
which it is configured. It then can start an element manager that is specific to each
discovered device, and gather events and data for reports about storage
management.
DS command-line interface
The IBM System Storage DS CLI can be used to create, delete, modify, and view
Copy Services functions and the logical configuration of a storage unit. These tasks
can be performed either interactively, in batch processes (operating system shell
scripts), or in DS CLI script files. A DS CLI script file is a text file that contains one
or more DS CLI commands and can be issued as a single command. DS CLI can be
used to manage logical configuration, Copy Services configuration, and other
functions for a storage unit, including managing security settings, querying
point-in-time performance information or status of physical resources, and
exporting audit logs.
The DS CLI provides a full-function set of commands to manage logical
configurations and Copy Services configurations. The DS CLI can be installed on
and is supported in many different environments, including:
v AIX

5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6.1
v HP-UX 11.0, 11i, v1, v2, v3
