The document provides an overview and update on IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center (TPC) version 4.2.2. TPC is IBM's premier storage infrastructure management tool that provides a centralized view and management capabilities for storage infrastructure, including disk arrays, tape libraries, and SAN fabrics from IBM and other vendors. The update highlights new features in TPC 4.2.2 such as enhanced replication management, disk performance monitoring, and file and database reporting.

5. For convenience, I will use the abbreviation “TPC”
to refer to IBM Tivoli® Storage Productivity Center
Note: IBM, HP and Quantum also use the term “TPC” to refer to Technology Provider
Companies in the LTO Consortium. Do not confuse the term TPC with the Transaction
Processing Performance Council (tpc.org) a non-profit corporation, nor the Tournament
Players Club (tpc.com) subsidiary of the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA)

6. IBM StorWatch (1990s)
• In the 1990s, there was
IBM StorWatch
– Monitored performance
and replication of the
ESS 800
• Feedback from clients:
– “We don’t want a
Stor-Watch, …
Like having a personal we want a Stor-Do!”
“X-Ray Machine” to help
understand and identify – Manage more than one
problems with your storage kind of disk array!

Initiative Specification (SMI-S)
• It is intended to be the unifying factor between the
objects that must be managed in a storage network
and the tools used to manage them.
• It is the result of a collaborative effort
