Volume Controller, and other storage subsystems that support the SMI-S block
service performance subprofile. The performance functions start with the data
collection task, which captures performance statistics for the devices and stores the
data in the database.
You can set thresholds for certain performance metrics depending on the type of
device. Threshold checking is performed during data collection, and when
performance is outside the specified bounds, alerts can be generated.
After performance data has been collected, you can configure Disk Manager to
present graphical or text reports on the historical performance behavior of
specified devices, or of specific internal components of these devices. The
performance reports provide information on the performance metrics and can
display performance data in graphical form.

IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication provides Copy Services
functions such as the remote mirror and copy functions (Metro Mirror and Global
Mirror) and the point-in-time function (FlashCopy).
TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication provides a graphical interface that
you can use for configuring and managing Copy Services functions across the
DS8000, DS6000, and Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) storage units. These
data-copy services maintain consistent copies of data on source volumes that are
managed by Replication Manager.
IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication V3.1 for FlashCopy, Metro
Mirror, and Global Mirror support provided automation of administration and
configuration of these services, operational control (starting, suspending,
resuming), Copy Services tasks, and monitoring and managing of copy sessions.
TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication is an option of the TotalStorage
Productivity Center for Replication software program. If you are licensed for Copy
Services functions and have the required Ethernet adapter pair (feature code 180x)
that supports the communication between the storage units and Replication
Manager, you can use TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication to manage
your data copy environment.
Notes:
1. TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication operations can now be
performed using the DS8000 hardware management console (HMC).
2. The use of Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol
Version 6 (IPv6) are both supported through the HMC ports.
3. Ethernet ports on the DS8000 server only support the use of IPv4.
