Description

In today's business world, where application servers are operational 24 hours a day, the data on these servers must be fully protected. With the rapid increase in the amount of data on these servers, their critical business needs, and the shrinking backup windows, traditional backup and restore methods may be reaching their limits in meeting these challenging requirements. Snapshot operations can help minimize the impact caused by backups and provide near instant restore capabilities. Since a snapshot operation typically takes much less time than the time for a tape backup, the window during which the data is being backed up can be reduced. This helps facilitate more frequent backups and increase the flexibility of backup scheduling and administration because the time spent for forward recovery through transaction logs after a restore is minimized.

In addition, application data availability can be significantly improved due to the reduction of the load on the production servers. The snapshots can be retained as backups on local disk and, with optional integration with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, sent to Tivoli Storage Manager server storage pools.

Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager V2.1 utilizes storage snapshot capabilities to provide high speed, low impact application data backup and restore functionality for the application and storage environments. Automated policy-based management of multiple snapshot backup versions, together with a simple and guided installation and configuration process process, provide an easy to use and quick to deploy data protection solution that can help meet the most stringent database recovery time requirements.

Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager V2.1 supports clustered application environments

(Microsoft Cluster Server and Veritas Cluster Server) on Microsoft Windows and high availability cluster multi-processing (HACMP TM ) on IBM AIX and Microsoft Exchange

2007 continuous replication configurations {local continuous replication (LCR), cluster continuous replication (CCR), and standby continuous replication (SCR)}.

Online, near instant snapshot backup and restore of critical business application data

IBM Tivoli Enhanced Value-Based Pricing

IBM Tivoli software products are priced using IBM Tivoli's Enhanced Value-Based

Pricing. The Enhanced Value-Based Pricing system is based upon the IBM Tivoli

Environment-Managed Licensing Model, which uses a managed-environment


209-297


approach -- whereby price is determined by what is managed rather than the number and type of product components installed.

For example, all servers monitored with IBM Tivoli's monitoring product (IBM Tivoli

Monitoring) require entitlements sufficient for those servers. Other Tivoli products may manage clients, client devices, agents, network nodes, users, or other items, and are licensed and priced accordingly.

Unlike typical systems management licensing models that require entitlements of specific software components to specific systems, the IBM Tivoli Environment-

Managed Licensing Model provides the customer flexibility to deploy its IBM Tivoli software products within its environment in a manner that can address and respond to the customer's evolving architecture. That is, as the architecture of a customer's environment changes, the customer's implementation of IBM Tivoli software can be altered, as needed, without affecting the customer's license requirements (as long as the customer does not exceed its entitlements to the software).

Under Enhanced Value-Based Pricing, licensing and pricing of server-oriented applications are determined based upon the server's use in the customer's environment. Typically, such applications are licensed and priced in a manner that corresponds to each installed and activated processor of the server managed by the

IBM Tivoli application to help correlate price to value while offering a simple solution.

Where a server is physically partitioned, this approach is modified. This partitioning technique is the approach used with systems that have either multiple cards or multiple frames, each of which can be configured independently. For servers capable of physical partitioning (for example, IBM System p® Scalable POWERparallel

Systems® servers, Sun Ultra servers, and HP Superdome servers), an entitlement is required for each processor in the physical partition being managed by the

Tivoli application. For example, assume that a server has 24 processors installed in aggregate. If this server is not partitioned, entitlements are required for all

24 processors. If, however, it is physically partitioned into three partitions, each containing eight processors, and Tivoli products were managing only one of the three partitions, then entitlements would be required for the eight processors on the physical partition managed by the IBM Tivoli application.

For servers with virtual or logical partitions, entitlements are required for all installed and activated processors on the server. For each IBM Tivoli application managing a clustered environment, licensing is based on the cumulative number of installed and activated processors on each server in the cluster. Where the cluster includes physically partitioned servers, the considerations described above concerning physically partitioned servers apply as well.

Enhanced Value-Based Pricing recognizes the convergence of RISC and UNIX®, and Microsoft Windows and Intel® technologies, in order to simplify your licensing requirements, and to provide a smoother, more scalable model. Pricing and licensing does not differentiate between non-System z server platforms or operating systems.

For some products, this platform neutrality extends to System z® and other host servers as well.

IBM Tivoli Enhanced Value-Based Pricing terminology definitions

Client device or client

A client device is a computer system that requires the execution of a set of commands, procedures, or applications from another computer system that is typically referred to as a server. Multiple client devices may share access to a common server. A client device generally has some processing capability or is programmable to allow a user to do work. Examples include, but are not limited to, notebook computers, desktop computers, desk side computers, technical workstations, appliances, automated teller machines, point-of-sale terminals, tills and cash registers, and kiosks.


209-297


Authorized user

An authorized user is one and only one individual (named or unnamed) within or outside your enterprise. A Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be obtained for each individual user accessing the program in any manner. A program licensed under an authorized user PoE may be installed on a single computer or server, and accessed by multiple users, provided that a PoE has been obtained for each individual user accessing the program either directly or indirectly (via a multiplexing program, device, or application server) through any means on behalf of the user.

Note that authorized users have unique specific identity and IDs cannot be shared.

An ID can establish one or more connections and count as a single authorized user.

Specific information to security products:

Enterprise

An enterprise is a person or single entity and those subsidiaries with more than 50 percent ownership.

Server

A server is a computer system that executes requested procedures, commands, or applications to one or more user or client devices over a network. A PoE must be obtained for each server on which the program or a component of the program is run or for each server managed by the program. Where blade technology is employed, each blade is considered a separate server.

Standby or backup systems

For programs running or resident on backup machines, IBM defines three types of situations: cold, warm and hot. In cold and warm situations, a separate entitlement for the copy on the backup machine is normally not required and typically no additional charge applies. In a hot backup situation, the customer needs to acquire other license or entitlements sufficient for that server. All programs running in backup mode must be solely under the customer's control, even if running at another enterprise's location.

As a practice, the following are definitions and allowable actions concerning the copy of the program used for backup purposes.

Cold: A copy of the program may reside, for backup purposes, on a machine as long as the program is not started. There is no additional charge for this copy.

Warm: A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine and is started, but is idling, and is not doing any work of any kind. There is no additional charge for this copy.

Hot: A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine, is started, and is doing work. The customer must acquire a license or entitlements for this copy and there will generally be an additional charge.

Doing work includes, for example, production, development, program maintenance, and testing. It also could include other activities such as mirroring of transactions, updating of files, synchronization of programs, data or other resources (for example, active linking with another machine, program, database or other resource, and so on), or any activity or configurations that would allow an active hot switch or other synchronized switch over between programs, databases, or other resources to occur.

In the case of a program or system configuration that is designed to support a high availability environment by using various techniques (for example, duplexing, mirroring of files, or transactions, maintaining a heartbeat, active linking with another machine, program, database, or other resource), the program is considered to be doing work in the hot situation and a license or entitlement must be purchased.

IBM Tivoli product licensing documents are available at http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/licensing.html

Passport Advantage

Through the Passport Advantage Agreement, you may receive discounted pricing based on their total volume of eligible products, across all IBM brands, acquired worldwide. The volume is measured by determining the total Passport Advantage points value of the applicable acquisitions. Passport Advantage points are only used for calculating the Entitled Passport Advantage discount.

To determine the required IBM Tivoli product configuration under Passport

Advantage, the IBM Tivoli Enhanced Value-Based Pricing Model applies. The customer's environment is evaluated on a per-product basis.

Use the following two-step process to determine the total Passport Advantage points value:

1.Analyze your environment to determine the number of charge units for a product.

The quantity of each product's part numbers to be ordered is determine by that analysis.

2.Order the Passport Advantage part numbers. A Passport Advantage point value, which is the same worldwide for a specific part number regardless of where the order is placed, is assigned to each IBM Tivoli product part number. The

Passport Advantage point value for the applicable part number, multiplied by the quantity for that part number, will determine the Passport Advantage points for that IBM Tivoli product part number. The sum of these Passport Advantage points determines the Passport Advantage point value of the applicable IBM Tivoli product authorizations which then may be aggregated with the point value of other applicable Passport Advantage product acquisitions to determine the total

Passport Advantage points value.

The discounted pricing available through Passport Advantage is expressed in the form of Suggested Volume Prices (SVPs), which vary depending on the SVP level.

Each SVP level is assigned a minimum total Passport Advantage point value, which must be achieved, in order to qualify for that SVP level.

Media packs and documentation packs do not carry Passport Advantage points and are not eligible for SVP discounting.

For additional information on Passport Advantage, refer to the following http://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage

The following Passport Advantage part number categories may be orderable:

• License and Software Subscription and Support 12 months - This is the product authorization with Software Subscription and Support to the first anniversary date.

• Annual Software Subscription and Support Renewal - This is the Software

Subscription and Support renewal for one anniversary that applies when a customer renews their existing coverage period prior to the anniversary date at which it expires.


209-297


• Software Subscription and Support Reinstatement 12 months - This is for customers who have allowed their Software Subscription and Support to expire, and later wish to reinstate their Software Subscription and Support.

• Media packs - These are the physical media, such as CD-ROMs, that deliver the product's code.

• Documentation packs - These contain printed documentation such as the User's

Guide and Release Notes.

Pricing example

The following example is provided to illustrate your licensing requirements.

Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager V2.1

Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager performs snapshots at the storage volume level.

Entitlement for Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager is on a per terabyte (TB) basis.

The storage capacity that requires entitlement is the total allocated volume size managed by Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager.

Scenario 1

The customer wants to have application data snapshot capability on a 100 TB pool of storage capacity on their Oracle database. Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager entitlements are required on the total allocated capacity managed by Tivoli Storage

FlashCopy Manager. Therefore, the customer will require the following entitlements for Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager.

TB tiers Number of TB

entitlements required

1-12 12

13-32 20

33-64 32

65-100 36

101-250 0

251 + 0

Total entitlements required 100

Notes for Scenario 1

In environments where an application replicates production data to create a replica copy, Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager entitlement is only required on the capacity of the total allocated volume size managed by Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for the source volumes of the production application data.

When Tivoli Storage Flash Copy Manager is used in a Tivoli Storage Manager environment and it sends data to a Tivoli Storage Manager server to be managed, you are required to have entitlement for Tivoli Storage Manager or Tivoli Storage

Manager Extended Edition for the application server for which Tivoli Storage

FlashCopy Manager manages data. In addition, you are required to have entitlement for the appropriate Tivoli Storage Manager application agent (the agent for Microsoft

SQL and Oracle is IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases, the agent for Microsoft

Exchange is IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail, and the agent for SAP is IBM Tivoli

Storage Manager for Enterprise Resource Planning). The Tivoli Storage Manager agent for IBM DB2 is included with DB2, so an additional Tivoli Storage Manager application agent entitlement is not required in that case.

Scenario 2

If the customer in Scenario 1 sends that 100 TB of Oracle database data to a Tivoli

Storage Manager server to be backed up, then the customer will need to entitle the server that is running the Oracle database for Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases,


209-297


which also requires entitlement for Tivoli Storage Manager or Tivoli Storage Manager

Extended Edition. The Tivoli Storage Manager server needs to be entitled with either

Tivoli Storage Manager or Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition.

For Scenario 2, the following entitlements are required in addition to the requirements from Scenario 1. In this example, the Oracle database server and the

Tivoli Storage Manager server are both dual quad core servers, with a total of eight processor cores on each server.

Tivoli Storage Manager environment Processor core entitlements

required

Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases 8

Tivoli Storage Manager or Tivoli 16

Storage Manager Extended Edition

Total processor core entitlements 24 required

Changes to Tivoli Storage Manager and Tivoli Storage Manager Extended

Edition licensing

When Tivoli Storage Manager or Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition are used in conjunction with Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager, the following licensing requirement changes apply for Tivoli Storage Manager and Tivoli Storage Manager

Extended Edition. For the purpose of offloaded proxy backup of Tivoli Storage

FlashCopy Manager managed data to Tivoli Storage Manager or Tivoli Storage

Manager Extended Edition, you are entitled to install on a secondary machine at no additional charge:

• A second copy of Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager.

• A second copy of Tivoli Storage Manager or Tivoli Storage Manager Extended

Edition.

• A second copy of the Tivoli Storage Manager application agent (the agent for

Microsoft SQL and Oracle is Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases, the agent for

Microsoft Exchange is Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail, and the agent for SAP is

Tivoli Storage Manager for Enterprise Resource Planning). The secondary machine is intended for offloaded data backup to Tivoli Storage Manager or Tivoli Storage

Manager Extended Edition.

IBM Electronic Services

IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled


209-297


solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services

Agent.

The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support.

The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.

The Electronic Service Agent TM is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your

IBM server.
