Reporting with TPCTOOL

Since the introduction of TotalStorage Multiple Device Manager, and its subsequent replacement by versions of TotalStorage Productivity Center, and ever since the stabilization of the TotalStorage ESS Expert, customers have asked for a way to pull performance metrics from the TotalStorage Productivity Center database in much the same way they could pull the metrics from the ESS Expert database. There are always a few leading edge customers who know what they want to do with performance monitoring and performance management, and they know how they want to do it. This paper gives an overview of the function of TPCTOOL and shows how to use it to generate reports based on the TotalStorage Productivity Center repository data.
