Chapter 31. IBM TotalStorage Productivity
Center for Replication
The IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication is an automated solution to provide
a management front end to Copy Services. This chapter describes IBM’s strategic solution to
manage disaster recovery solutions based on copy service functions in DS6000 and DS8000
storage servers. For details refer to the redbook and product manuals listed below.
In addition to the DS6000 and DS8000, the IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for
Replication or TPC for Replication can also help manage Copy Services for the SAN Volume
Controller (SVC) as well as the ESS 800 when using FCP links for PPRC paths between ESS
800s or between ESS 800 and DS6000 and/or DS8000. This applies also to FlashCopy
For installation and configuration details, refer to Replication Management with IBM
