The Storage Energy Estimation Agent displays energy consumption estimates within the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. Estimates are given for storage subsystems, storage pools, arrays and logical volumes. The energy information is displayed in both tabular and graphic forms in the ITM Tivoli Enterprise Portal. The graphs allow the user to monitor the energy consumption, as it changes over time.
Every 5 minutes, the agent runs an executable JAR file, which reads TPC performance information relating to storage subsystems. The TPC performance information is used to compute the energy estimates, which are then fed into the ITM Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
Although the Storage Energy Estimation Agent is not designated as "Supported", please let us know if you have any questions regarding its installation or usage. The email address is Storage Energy/Haifa/IBM, or SEEAGENT@il.ibm.com
