The superb support people that help Tivoli Storage Productivity Center customers diagnose any problems or conditions that might arise have put together a great reference article entitled, Basic TPC server health check . Because after all, periodic Tivoli Storage Productivity Center server health checks are an important part of maintaining a smoothly functioning Tivoli Storage Productivity Center environment;  it is also an important part of disaster recovery readiness.

It is particularly important to conduct a health check prior to major configuration changes or upgrades you perform in your environment, because a poorly functioning Tivoli Storage Productivity Center environment is likely to lead to errors, failure, and instability (server hangs, needing frequent reboots, etc.).

Thanks to Tony Narduzzi, over in level 2 support for Tivoli Storage Productivity Center and his colleagues, for creating this valuable reference information.
