Default Profiles are provided for your use with IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager. Each default Profile represents a specific statistic that you can gather (which is included in the name of the Profile for convenient identification).
When creating Scan jobs, you can select the Profile(s) that you want to use during that job. The Profiles you include in the job determine what statistics are gathered and how they are correlated. This then determines what reports are available for the computers or file systems that you are scanning. If you want all reports to be available, select all of the default Profiles.
You can learn to create new Profiles and model the statistics to your requirements as you grow more comfortable with using IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager. Creating custom profiles will enable you to find out specific information on certain files or file types throughout your enterprise.
Tivoli is the creator of the default Profiles, so you will see their names prefixed by Tivoli within the system. The following table shows the default Profile names and describes their function:
