Terminology[edit]
- Storage Area Network (SAN)
- Storage Resource Management (SRM)
Architecture[edit]
- The IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center consists of several key components.
Data server[edit]
- This component is the control point for product scheduling functions, configuration, event information, reporting, and graphical user interface (GUI) support. It coordinates communication with and data collection from agents that scan file systems and databases to gather storage demographics and populate the database with results. Automated actions can be defined to perform file system extension, data deletion, and Tivoli Storage Productivity Center backup or archiving, or event reporting when defined thresholds are encountered. The Data server is the primary contact point for GUI user interface functions. It also includes functions that schedule data collection and discovery for the Device server.
Device server[edit]
- This component discovers, gathers information from, analyzes performance of, and controls storage subsystems and SAN fabrics. It coordinates communication with and data collection from agents that scan SAN fabrics and storage devices.
Database[edit]
- A single database instance serves as the repository for all Tivoli Storage Productivity Center components.
Agents[edit]
- Data agents, Storage Resource agents, and fabric agents gather host, application, and SAN fabric information and send this information to the Data Server or Device server.
GUI[edit]
- The graphical user interface (GUI) lets you enter or receive information for all Tivoli Storage Productivity Center components.
CLI[edit]
- The command-line interface (CLI) lets you issue commands for major Tivoli Storage Productivity Center functions.
Tivoli Integrated Portal[edit]
- The IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center installation program includes IBM Tivoli Integrated Portal. Tivoli Integrated Portal is a standards-based architecture for Web administration. Tivoli Integrated Portal enables developers to build administrative interfaces for IBM and independent software products as individual plug-ins to a common console network. The installation of Tivoli Integrated Portal is required to enable single sign-on for Tivoli Storage Productivity Center. Single sign-on is an authentication process that enables you to enter one user ID and password to access multiple applications. Single sign-on integrates with the launch in context feature to enable you to move smoothly from one application to a functionally related location in a second application

TopYou come across a situation where importing a Vu (Virtual User) floating license on the Rational License Key Administrator (LKAD) displays duplicate entries of the license.
Is this an error? Defect? Then, what is this?
This is not an error on the LKAD. This is most likely an artifact of the 'PACKAGE' lines in the license file. LKAD, on initial load, and license import, it will add the below PACKAGE line:
PACKAGE LT_Playback_250VU rational 7.5 {signature} COMPONENTS='LTvu:7.1:250 LT_250VT:8.0:1'
These are the components of that package line, whose name matches the key you were issued. These are also the license types the applications check out.
As LKAD uses essentially the same Flex/LM API call that the command 'lmutil lmstat -i' uses to enumerate license, there will be one 'served by' line in LKAD for each component of the package.
