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 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.
