IBM Systems
Director Storage Control provides a single control point within the data center
for managing both server resources and storage resources. The single console
allows for device discovery, correlated inventory collection, and visualization
of storage resources in the data center.
In a seamless and integrated fashion, this product, a plug-in to IBM Systems Director,
expands the device coverage to include additional storage resources. Along
with health status, the storage device configuration and inventory is collected
and available for topology and table display within the resource navigator.
The inventory correlation allows the user to view and understand not only
what the storage device has in its configuration, but also how it relates
to the IBM servers
consuming storage resource from the external storage devices.
Integrated health reporting of the storage devices managed by this plug-in,
displays the device status from a variety of topology and device listing reports,
enabling rapid and simple identification of storage resource status. For its
database-intensive operations, IBM Systems Director Storage Control uses
the Systems Director management server database, which is based on IBM DB2® technology
and is designed to manage data more effectively and efficiently. The increased
scalability and the ability to leverage the latest in data server technology
helps deliver increased performance. IBM DB2 Enterprise Server Edition (DB2 ESE) will
be available for limited use with the product concurrent with the availability
of this product. DB2 ESE will be available for download with the product
at no additional cost.
This plug-in is compatible with IBM Systems Director VMControl™ when
the storage systems being managed are supported with the IBM Systems
Director VMControl System Pools. IBM Systems Director Storage Control is
also compatible with IBM Systems Director
Active Energy Manager™ as it pertains to the DS8000 storage device inventory collection
and management.

Server
Server is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. A server is
a physical computer that is comprised of processing units, memory, and input/output
capabilities and that executes requested procedures, commands, or applications
for one or more users or client devices. Where racks, blade enclosures, or
other similar equipment is being employed, each separable physical device
(for example, a blade or a rack-mounted device) that has the required components
is considered itself a separate server. For the purpose of server-based licensing,
Licensee must obtain entitlements for each server which is made available
to the program, regardless of the number of processor cores or partitions
in the server or the number of copies of the program on the server.
IBM Systems
Director Storage Control uses per server charging metric. A server license
is required for each installation of the IBM Systems Director Storage Control program.
IBM Systems
Director Storage Control requires a keyfile to make the product operational
after the 60-day evaluation period. This keyfile is sent on a CD-ROM after
placing an order for the 5765-ASM product.
Orders may be placed beginning with configurator availability.

Electronic
Service Agent™ and the IBM Electronic Support web portal are dedicated to providing
fast, exceptional support to IBM Systems customers. The IBM Electronic Service Agent tool
is a no-additional-charge tool that proactively monitors and reports hardware
events, such as system errors, performance issues, and inventory. The Electronic
Service Agent tool can help you stay focused on your company's strategic
business initiatives, save time, and spend less effort managing day-to-day
IT maintenance issues. Servers enabled with this tool can be monitored remotely
around the clock by IBM Support all at no additional cost to you.
Now integrated into the base operating system of AIX 5.3, AIX 6.1, and AIX 7.1, Electronic Service Agent is
designed to automatically and electronically report system failures and utilization
issues to IBM,
which can result in faster problem resolution and increased availability.
System configuration and inventory information collected by the Electronic
Service Agent tool also can be viewed on the secure Electronic Support
web portal, and used to improve problem determination and resolution by you
and the IBM support
team. To access the tool main menu, simply type "smitty esa_main", and select
"Configure Electronic
Service Agent." In addition, ESA now includes a powerful web user interface,
giving the administrator easy access to status, tool settings, problem information,
and filters. For more information and documentation on how to configure and
use Electronic
Service Agent, refer to
- http://www.ibm.com/support/electronic
The IBM Electronic
Support portal is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple
entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. This
portal enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving
technical problems. The My Systems and Premium Search functions make it even
easier for Electronic
Service Agent tool-enabled customers to track system inventory and find
pertinent fixes.
Benefits
Increased uptime: The Electronic Service Agent tool
is designed to enhance the Warranty or Maintenance Agreement by providing
faster hardware error reporting and uploading system information to IBM Support. This
can translate to less wasted time monitoring the "symptoms," diagnosing the
error, and manually calling IBM Support to open a problem record. Its 24 x 7 monitoring
and reporting mean no more dependence on human intervention or off-hours customer
personnel when errors are encountered in the middle of the night.
Security: The Electronic Service Agent tool
is designed to be secure in monitoring, reporting, and storing the data at IBM.
The Electronic
Service Agent tool securely transmits either via the Internet (HTTPS
or VPN) or modem, and can be configured to communicate securely through gateways
to provide customers a single point of exit from their site. Communication
is one way. Activating Electronic Service Agent does not
enable IBM to
call into a customer's system. System inventory information is stored in a
secure database, which is protected behind IBM firewalls. It is viewable only by the
customer and IBM.
The customer's business applications or business data is never transmitted
to IBM.
More accurate reporting: Since system information and error
logs are automatically uploaded to the IBM Support center in conjunction with the
service request, customers are not required to find and send system information,
decreasing the risk of misreported or misdiagnosed errors. Once inside IBM,
problem error data is run through a data knowledge management system and knowledge
articles are appended to the problem record.
Customized support: Using the IBM ID entered during activation, customers
can view system and support information in the "My Systems" and "Premium Search"
sections of the Electronic Support website at
- http://www.ibm.com/support/electronic
My Systems provides valuable reports of installed hardware and software
using information collected from the systems by Electronic Service Agent.
Reports are available for any system associated with the customer's IBM ID. Premium
Search combines the function of search and the value of Electronic
Service Agent information, providing advanced search of the technical
support knowledgebase. Using Premium Search and the Electronic Service Agent information
that has been collected from your system, customers are able to see search
results that apply specifically to their systems.
