IBM Tivoli Assist On-site (AOS)IBM Tivoli Assist On-site (AOS) is a web-based tool that enables aremote support representative in IBM to view or control themanagement node desktop. More information is located at theTivoli AOS website.

Replication terminology

OpenStorageOpenStorage allows ProtecTIER to be integrated with NetBackup toprovide the means for backup-to-disk without using a virtual tape library(VTL) emulation. Using a plug-in that is installed on anOpenStorage-enabled media server, ProtecTIER can implement acommunication protocol that supports data transfer and control betweenthe backup server and the ProtecTIER server. Therefore, to support theplug-in, ProtecTIER implements a storage server emulation.

replicationA process that transfers logical objects like cartridges from one ProtecTIERrepository to another. The replication function allows ProtecTIERdeployment to be distributed across sites. Each site has a single orclustered ProtecTIER environment. Each ProtecTIER environment has atleast one ProtecTIER server. The ProtecTIER server that is a part of thereplication grid has two dedicated replication ports that are used forreplication. Replication ports are connected to the customer's WAN and areconfigured on two subnets as default.

replication gridA set of repositories that share a common ID and can potentially transmitand receive logical objects through replication. A replication grid defines aset of ProtecTIER repositories and actions between them and is configuredusing the ProtecTIER Replication Manager. The ProtecTIER ReplicationManager is a software component that is installed on a ProtecTIER serveror a dedicated host. The ProtecTIER Replication Manager should be able torecognize all the members of the entire network the ProtecTIER ReplicationManager handles on both replication subnets. The ProtecTIER ReplicationManager manages the configuration of multiple replication grids in anorganization. An agent on every node in each ProtecTIER server interactswith the server and maintains a table of its grid members.

Note: Customers must license the Replication features on all ProtecTIERsystems participating in the replication grid whether the system is sendingor receiving data (or both).

replication grid IDA number from 0 to 63 that identifies a replication grid within anorganization.

replication grid memberA repository that is a member in a replication grid.

replication pairsTwo repositories within a replication grid that replicate from one toanother.

replication policyA policy made up of rules that define a set of objects (for example, VTLcartridges) from a source repository to be replicated to a target repository.

About this document xvii


repository unique ID (RID)A number that uniquely identifies the repository. The RID is created fromthe replication grid ID and the repository internal ID in the grid.

replication timeframeA scheduled period of time for replication to take place for all policies.

shelf A container of VTL cartridges within a ProtecTIER repository.

virtual tape library (VTL)The ProtecTIER virtual tape library (VTL) service emulates traditional tapelibraries. By emulating tape libraries, ProtecTIER VTL enables you totransition to disk backup without having to replace your entire backupenvironment. Your existing backup application can access virtual robots tomove virtual cartridges between virtual slots and drives. The backupapplication perceives that the data is being stored on cartridges whileProtecTIER actually stores data on a deduplicated disk repository.

visibility switchingThe automated process that transfers the visibility of a VTL cartridge fromits master to its replica and vice versa. The visibility switching process istriggered by moving a cartridge to the source library Import/Export (I/E)slot. The cartridge will then disappear from the I/E slot and appear at thedestination library's I/E slot. To move the cartridge back to the sourcelibrary, the cartridge must be ejected to the shelf from the destinationlibrary. The cartridge will then disappear from the destination library andreappear at the source I/E slot.

xxiv IBM System Storage TS7650 and TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Solutions: Introduction and Planning Guide

Chapter 1. Introduction

Note: This document applies only to the TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance. Forthe description and planning information about the IBM System Storage TS7610ProtecTIER Deduplication Appliance Express® (TS7610 Appliance Express), see theIBM System Storage TS7610 and TS7620 ProtecTIER Deduplication Appliance ExpressIntroduction and Planning Guide, GA32-0913.The TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance are data deduplication and replicationsolutions that compress and store backup data on disk storage arrays (backendstorage).

System throughput is scalable; it can be set at a level suitable for yourorganization’s needs.

Restriction: Changing system throughput is not a dynamic operation. Raising orlowering throughput requires the system to be offline and forces the recreation ofrepositories.

The replication function allows ProtecTIER deployment to be distributed acrosssites. To facilitate backup applications that are designed for use with tape storage,the TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance emulate traditional tape library units. TheTS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance are available either in a stand-aloneconfiguration or in a clustered configuration; the cluster facilitates increasedthroughput and higher availability.

When configured as a Virtual Tape Library (VTL) system, both solutions use IBMtechnology and software to emulate DTC VTF® 0100, ATL P3000 0100 and TS3500tape libraries. This emulation capability is designed to help customers achieve thefollowing operational and throughput efficiencies:v Backup window reductionv Restoration time reductionv Data sharing and resource virtualization optimizationv Operational efficiencyv Improved sharing of virtual tape libraries across applications and servers

When configured as an OpenStorage system, the TS7650G and the TS7650Appliance present ProtecTIER as a NetBackup application programming interface(API) supporting communications between NetBackup systems andOpenStorage-enabled ProtecTIER systems. The OpenStorage interface provides thefollowing capabilities:v NetBackup software directs ProtecTIER systems when to create, copy, delete or

restore backup images.v Backup images may be replicated to up to 12 different ProtecTIER systems.v Workloads and performance are balanced between NetBackup media servers and

ProtecTIER systems.v Detailed statistics on the state of the ProtecTIER systems are available through

API.

When configured as a File System Interface (FSI) system, the TS7650G and theTS7650 Appliance present ProtecTIER as a network attached storage (NAS) backuptarget, capable of using the HyperFactor® algorithm. FSI enables backup servers

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2011, 2012 1

running backup applications to access ProtecTIER over an Ethernet-based IPnetwork, eliminating the need for Fibre Channel connectivity. Implementation ofFSI supports:v A 16-way many-to-many replication topology groupv Single-node (non-clustered) ProtecTIER configurationsv Creation of backup images produced by backup applications (not intended for

primary storage deduplication)v File system access security through the use of a Microsoft workgroup domain

(default) or Active Directory domain

Attention: Before upgrading the ProtecTIER code level in the TS7650 Appliance,it is required that the storage subsystem firmware, NVSRAM firmware, and theESM firmware on your expansion drawers be updated first.

You must call IBM Service to schedule a time to update the firmware.

For the TS7650G, the disk storage array is supplied by the customer. It attaches tothe TS7650G through Fibre Channel connections and holds the repository offactored backup data. The amount of cache available depends on your disksubsystem and configuration. The TS7650G supports the following disksubsystems:v IBM System Storage DS8300v IBM System Storage DS8100v IBM System Storage DS5300v IBM System Storage DS5100v IBM System Storage DS4800v IBM System Storage DS4700v IBM System Storage DS4300v IBM System Storage DS4200v IBM System Storage DS3400v IBM System Storage V7000v IBM XIV® (Machine type 2810)v IBM SAN Volume Controller 4.3.1 and laterv XIV Nextra™

v HDS AMS1000v HDS AMS2300v HP EVA 8100v HP EVA 8400v EMC CX series

The TS7650 Appliance uses the self-contained IBM System Storage DS4700 diskstorage unit for data compression and storage.

Important: As of 3 April 2012, systems for which IBM has the responsibility forinstallation must be made available to IBM for installation within six months ofshipment or else a fee will be charged.

2 IBM System Storage TS7650 and TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Solutions: Introduction and Planning Guide

TS7650G hardware componentsFor TS7650 Appliance hardware components, see “TS7650 Appliance hardwarecomponents” on page 13.

The TS7650G is available in stand-alone and clustered configurations. For astand-alone configuration, one IBM machine type and model 3958 DD5 server isrequired. For a clustered configuration, two 3958 DD5 servers are required, alongwith an FC 3437 Cluster Connection Kit, which consists of:v two 1 Gb (gigabit) Ethernet switches, SMC model 8126L2v one network power switch, Western Telematic, Inc. (WTI) model VMR-8HD20-2v power cablesv Ethernet cablesv mounting hardware

Notes:

v The following cluster server combinations are supported:– two 3958 DD5 servers– one 3958 DD5 server and one 3958 DD4 server– one 3958 DD5 server and one 3958 DD3 server– one 3958 DD5 server and one 3958 DD1 server (by RPQ only)

In all cases, the clustered servers must be installed in the same frame.v IBM does not support more than one clustered pair of TS7650G servers in a

single frame.

Red Hat Linux version 5.6 is required to run on the gateway server. For moreinformation, see “TS7650G feature codes” on page 55.

An IBM Total Storage System Console (TSSC) and the accompanyingKeyboard/Video/Monitor (KVM kit) (purchased separately) are also required forinstallation, service, and maintenance of the TS7650G. IBM recommends that theTSSC be installed in the same rack as the gateway server. However, an existingTSSC may be used, provided it is within 100 feet of the gateway server.

For the TS7650G to be fully functional, additional hardware components(purchased separately) are required. These components include frame(s), diskcontroller(s), and disk expansion modules.

The lists below outline the additional hardware purchases recommended for eachdeployment option of the TS7650G:

Stand-alone Gateway

v One customer-supplied server framev One customer-supplied disk storage frame

Clustered Gateway

v One customer-supplied server framev One or more customer-supplied disk storage frames

Replication Gateway

v Two customer-supplied server frames

Chapter 1. Introduction 3

v One or more customer-supplied disk storage frames per server frame

Each customer-supplied frame must contain from two to four 220V powerdistribution units, and provide sufficient rack space in order to accommodate thefollowing scenarios.v In a stand-alone configuration, the server frame must provide either 8u or 10u of

rack space.– 2u of rack space for a KVM tray and its associated Ethernet switch– 1u of rack space for one 26-port Ethernet switch used for the TSSC network,

or no additional rack space if an existing TSSC network is used– 1u of rack space for one TSSC, or no additional rack space if an existing TSSC

is used.– 4u of rack space for one gateway server– 2u of rack space for two power distribution unitsFigure 1 on page 5 identifies the server components present in a fully configuredTS7650G in a stand-alone configuration.


v In a single cluster configuration, the server frame must provide 15u or 17u of rackspace.– 2u of rack space for a KVM tray and its associated Ethernet switch– 1u of rack space for one 26-port Ethernet switch used for the TSSC network,


is used.– 8u of rack space for two gateway servers– 2u of rack space for two Ethernet switches– 1u of rack space for one network power switch– 2u of rack space for two power distribution unitsFigure 2 on page 6 identifies the server components present in a fully configuredTS7650G in a single cluster configuration.

Possible new gateway installation scenarios:v New TS7650G installation, clustered or stand-alone, with replication (VTL or

OpenStorage).v New TS7650G installation, clustered or stand-alone, without replication (VTL or

OpenStorage).v New TS7650G installation, stand-alone only, with or without replication (FSI).

For the disk storage frame(s), the amount of rack space and the number of framesrequired varies depending on the type of disk storage that is being used. Forexample, one IBM System Storage DS4700 disk controller and six IBM SystemStorage DS4000 EXP810 disk expansion modules require 21u of rack space in theframe. In a clustered configuration with two controllers and 12 expansion modules,an additional disk storage frame may be required.

TS7650 Appliance hardware componentsThe TS7650 Appliance consists of four hardware machine types and the ProtecTIERsoftware.

For TS7650G hardware components, see “TS7650G hardware components” on page3.

The 3952 F05 Frame is used to house the components of the TS7650 Appliance. TheTS7650 Appliance is available in the following stand-alone and clusteredconfigurations.

Replication is available in both stand-alone and clustered configurations.Replication requires that the source and destination systems be separate andidentical in size and configuration, that is, stand-alone to stand-alone or clusteredto clustered.

Note: You must have a license for the replication feature for each ProtecTIERserver in the replication grid.

Each system can function as a hub or as a spoke. Replication does not require thatthe source and destination systems be identical in size and configuration.

Important: Both the source and the destination must be completely installed andconfigured before replication can be enabled. Resources should be planned so thatthe destination machine is able to receive replications from all source machines.The space allocated for replication in the destination machine should be larger thanthe sum of all the data in the sources that need to be replicated. When planning forthe performance of the destination, the amount of data that needs to be replicatedand the time allocated for replication should be considered.

There are two types of replication grid:

Many-to-one

In a many-to-one environment, replication groups are created wheremultiple source repositories (spokes) can receive local backups and replicateto a single destination (hub). The destination repository can then act as aDisaster Recovery site for any number of the source repositories while stillallowing local backups and replication from the active source repositories.

Many-to-one replication defines the following two roles in a replicationgrid:v Spoke - A backup target that can only replicate to a single hub, may not

be a target for replication.v Hub - A replication and backup target, may receive replication from up

to 12 spokes, may not replicate (besides failback).

A group of one hub and one or more spokes is referred to as a topologygroup. A single grid may include up to eight hubs and therefore up to eighttopology groups. Spokes do not need physical connections between them.


All repositories need a network connection to the replication managerserver (a PT or dedicated host via RPQ approval).

Currently, the only many-to-one topology group supported is a VTL12-way configuration, which consists of one to twelve spokes associatedwith one hub.

Note: When upgrading from one-to-one replication to many-to-onereplication, the Replication Manager server automatically upgrades thegrid's database; therefore all replication pairs will be set as hub and spokeaccordingly. The GUI behaves as its multiple many-to-one pairs.

Many-to-many

In a many-to-many environment, replication groups are created wheremultiple repositories can replicate to each other. A many-to-manyreplication group can be defined with multiple repositories, where eachrepository assumes the responsibility of a hub repository and can receivelocal backups, replicate data to remote hub repositories, as well as receivereplicated data from remote hub repositories.

The following many-to-many topology groups are supported:

VTL 4-wayIn a VTL configuration, up to four repositories act as both hub andspoke.

OpenStorage 12-wayIn an OpenStorage configuration, up to twelve repositories act asboth hub and spoke.

FSI 16-wayIn an FSI configuration, up to sixteen repositories act as both huband spoke.

For all many-to-one and many-to-many configurations, the same cartridge can bereplicated from its principal repository to up to three destination repositories.Different cartridges can be replicated between multiple hub repositories in abidirectional manner.

For a stand-alone configuration, one IBM machine type and model 3958 AP1 serveris required. For a clustered configuration, two 3958 AP1 servers are required, alongwith an FC 3437 Cluster Connection Kit, which consists of:v two 1 Gb (gigabit) Ethernet switches, SMC model 8126L2v one network power switch, Western Telematic, Inc. (WTI) model VMR-8HD20-2v power cablesv Ethernet cablesv mounting hardware

Red Hat Linux version 5.6 is required to run on the appliance server. For moreinformation, see “TS7650 Appliance feature codes” on page 65.

FC 2722 provides an IBM Total Storage System Console (TSSC) and theaccompanying Keyboard/Video/Monitor (KVM) switch. These items are requiredfor installation, service, and maintenance of the TS7650 Appliance. IBMrecommends that the TSSC be installed in the same rack as the appliance server.However, an existing TSSC may be used, provided it is within 100 feet of theappliance server. For additional information on hardware requirements, seeChapter 5, “Customer installation responsibilities,” on page 81.

and two cooling units. The disk controller provides dual redundant controllers,redundant cooling, redundant power, and battery backup of the RAID controllercache.

The disk controller is designed to provide maximum host and drive-sideredundancy, enabling full redundant drive loop support to additional disk storagecapacity in the expansion frames via the drive loop port from each RAIDcontroller. In addition, each RAID controller supports direct attachment of twoservers that contain two fibre channel host bus adapters each. External cables andsmall form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules connect the disk controller to theexpansion units and the servers. For optimum performance, RAID 5 configurationis recommended.

Currently, the only expansion unit that can be attached to the 1814 70H diskcontroller is the 1812 81H disk expansion module.

For more support information about the disk controller, go to www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/disk/ and select Disk Systems > DS4700 Express.

Disk expansion module (1812 81H) FC 3707The disk expansion module supports sixteen 450 GB (15k rpm), 4 Gbps, fibrechannel disk drive modules (DDMs). For optimum performance, RAID 5configuration is recommended.

The disk expansion module supports redundant, dual-loop configurations with thedisk controller and other disk expansion modules. External cables and SFPmodules connect the controller to the disk expansion module. The disk expansionmodule provides continuous, reliable service and uses hot-swap technology.

SoftwareProtecTIER is a disk-based data storage system. It uses data deduplicationtechnology to store data to disk arrays. With Feature Code 9022, the ProtecTIERVirtual Tape Library (VTL) service emulates traditional automated tape libraries.With Feature Code 9023, the TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance can be configuredas OpenStorage and integrated with Symantec NetBackup. With Feature Code9024, a stand-alone TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance can be configured as FSI.

Note: A single repository only supports either Feature Code 9022 (VTL emulation),9023 (OpenStorage) or 9024 (FSI); the three options cannot be combined in a singlerepository in any way.

ProtecTIER Manager

The ProtecTIER Manager workstation is a customer-supplied workstation that runsthe ProtecTIER Manager software. The ProtecTIER Manager software provides themanagement GUI interface to the TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance.

System requirements for the workstation are provided in this document in“ProtecTIER Manager workstation requirements” on page 82.

Complete information about installing and using the ProtecTIER Managerworkstation is provided in the IBM System Storage ProtecTIER User's Guide forEnterprise Edition and Appliance Edition, GA32-0922.




Note: ProtecTIER Manager will not be optimal on all resolutions. 1024 × 768 is theminimum supported; 1280 × 1024 is recommended.

ProtecTIER VTLThe ProtecTIER VTL service emulates traditional tape libraries. By emulating tapelibraries, ProtecTIER VTL enables you to transition to disk backup without havingto replace your entire backup environment. Your existing backup application canaccess virtual robots to move virtual cartridges between virtual slots and drives.The backup application perceives that the data is being stored on cartridges whileProtecTIER actually stores data on a deduplicated disk repository on the appliancestorage. ProtecTIER supports an absolute maximum of 62,000 virtual cartridges,slots, and tape drives, although the maximum number might be lower forindividual systems because of available storage space.

OpenStorageWith OpenStorage , ProtecTIER can be integrated with NetBackup to provide themeans for backup-to-disk without having to emulate tape. Using a plug-in that isinstalled on an OpenStorage-enabled media server, ProtecTIER can implement acommunication protocol that supports data transfer and control between thebackup server and the ProtecTIER server. Therefore, to support the plug-in,ProtecTIER implements a storage server emulation.

FSIWhen configured for FSI, ProtecTIER emulates a network attached storage (NAS)backup target capable of using both HyperFactor and ProtecTIER NativeReplication bandwidth reduction techniques for storing and replicatingdeduplicated data. ProtecTIER FSI enables backup servers running backupapplications to connect over IP networks to ProtecTIER, without the use of FibreChannel connectivity, and allows you to use your existing tools and capabilities tointegrate a ProtecTIER NAS-based backup target into your environment.

FSI systems support:v Sixteeen-way, many-to-many, replication topology groupsv Creation of backup images produced by backup applications (not intended for

primary storage deduplication)v File system access security through the use of a Microsoft workgroup domain

(default) or Active Directory domainv The maximum number of concurrent streams and host connections listed in

ProtecTIER exposes virtual interfaces to the host, such as a media server with theplug-in installed. In version 3.2, the physical Ethernet ports are assigned to onevirtual application interface. Currently, the physical ports are assigned to virtualinterface ost1 or fsi1, depending on the server configuration. This assignmentoption is used to group several physical interfaces into a single virtual interface,and create a bond configuration of several physical interfaces. Each virtualinterface used must be configured with a corresponding IP address.

Attention: Each configured IP address on the same server needs to be on adifferent subnet, and each subnet needs to be on a different VLAN. If separatesubnets and VLAN’s are not used, in certain environments and networks, networkpackets can move to other subnets, which can harm network performance andpotentially reduce the network's quality of service.

In addition, each virtual interface containing more than one physical interface(configured as a bond) needs to be configured with a load balancing method. For aserver with 10 Gb interfaces, where bonding is implemented, the recommendedload balancing method is LACP with L3L4.

For more information about bonding, the different load balancing methods, andwhether to configure bonds at all, refer to the Best Practices Guide for IBM SystemStorage TS7600 ProtecTIER Deduplication Solutions, GA32-0924 or the IBM ProtecTIERImplementation and Best Practices, IBM Redbooks® publication SG24-8025.

TSSC microcodeIf you are using an existing TSSC, before installing or upgrading ProtecTIER, theTSSC microcode must be 5.12.x or later. To check the version, go to the TS3000System Console Screen Login screen as shown in Figure 24.

RAIDRedundant array of independent disks (RAID) is a method of configuring multipledisk drives in a storage subsystem for high availability and high performance. Thecollection of two or more disk drives presents the image of a single disk drive tothe system. In the event of a single device failure, data can be read or regeneratedfrom the other disk drives in the array.

The TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance support the following RAIDconfigurations:v RAID 1 for the appliance server's internal hard disk drivesv RAID 5 for user data on attached disk storagev RAID 6 for user data on attached SATA disk storage (TS7650G only)v RAID 10 for meta data on attached disk storage

Configure other items such as block size, channel protection, and so on, inaccordance with your disk storage manufacturer's instructions and with the BestPractices Guide for IBM System Storage TS7600 ProtecTIER Deduplication Solutions,GA32-0924.

FencingThis section provides a description of fencing.

The fencing option for servers in the TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance provideshigher availability for operations by eliminating the down time that can occurshould a hardware or software failure occur in a server. Two-node active-activesupport permits the sharing of all disk storage between two servers in a clusteredconfiguration.

In the fencing design for the TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance, two servers areinstalled in the same frame and configured to monitor each other. In the event thatone server fails to fulfill its responsibilities to the SAN clients it is serving, theother server will reset the server and allow for an orderly reconstruction of theserver’s resources.

Fencing requirementsFencing is available only in a clustered TS7650G or TS7650 Applianceconfiguration.

Follow these requirements when setting up a fencing configuration, dependingupon the solution:

For the TS7650G

You must have one of the following combinations of gateway servers in a singleframe:v two 3958 DD5sv two 3958 DD4sv one 3958 DD5 and one 3958 DD3v two 3958 DD3sv one 3958 DD3 and one 3958 DD1v two 3958 DD1

Notes:


v The 3958 DD1 and 3958 DD4 gateway servers cannot be clustered.v The 3958 DD1 and 3958 DD5 gateway servers can be clustered by RPQ only.v Fencing with two gateway servers in different frames is not possible, because

both gateway servers must be connected to the same network power switch.

For the TS7650 Appliance

You must have two 3958 AP1 appliance servers in a single frame. One applianceserver is located at the bottom of the frame (node A, the lower server in the rack)and the other appliance server is located at the top of the frame (node B, the upperserver in the rack).

Note: Fencing with two appliance servers in different frames is not possible,because both servers must be connected to the same power supply.

Two-node active-active supportThis section applies only to the TS7650G.

The use of two-node active-active support in the storage subsystem permits thesharing of all disk storage between two gateway servers in a clusteredconfiguration, although the DS3000, DS4000, and DS5000 families are only capableof active-passive support.

LUN maskingThis section describes the LUN masking function.

LUN masking is used to control device visibility by allowing specific devices (forexample, tape drives or robots) to be seen only by a selected group of hostinitiators. A host initiator is the WWN, or the physical address of a port of a fibercard of the host (that is, the server that the backup application is installed on).

LUN masking allows you to assign specific devices to a specific host runningbackup application modules. It enables multiple initiators to share the same targetFC port without having conflicts on the devices being emulated.

The LUN masking setup can be monitored and modified at all times duringsystem operation. LUN masking in ProtecTIER influences the visibility of thedevices by the hosts systems. Keep in mind that every modification to LUNmasking in ProtecTIER may affect the host configuration and may requirerescanning by the hosts.

ReplicationThis section describes the replication function.

Note: You must have a license for the replication feature for each ProtecTIERserver in the replication grid.The replication function provides complete system backup and allows ProtecTIERdeployment to be distributed across sites. Each site has a single or clusteredProtecTIER environment. Each ProtecTIER environment has at least one ProtecTIERserver. The ProtecTIER server that is a part of the replication grid has twodedicated ports that are used for replication. Replication ports are connected to thecustomer's WAN and are configured on two subnets by default.


Note: Do not configure the replication ports on the same subnet as the externalLAN port, eth0 or on the same subnets as each other. Doing so may causereplication errors.

Use the pt_net_perf_util utility to test maximal replication performance betweentwo future ProtecTIER repositories by emulating the network usage patterns ofProtecTIER's Native Replication component. This utility will not predict replicationperformance, but it may discover performance bottlenecks.

Many-to-one replicationProtecTIER many-to-one replication supports both single node and clusteredProtecTIER configurations.

Many-to-one replication provides the following functionality and support:v Setting replication performance limits - This feature allows the user to set

system-wide physical and/or nominal limits in order to indicate to thereplication engine the maximal replication transfer rate allowed in the networkfor a specific repository. The performance limits refer to overall resourceconsumption of the system, and is reflected on the network transfer rate.Performance limits are based on the Replication Rate Control (RRC). CurrentRRC is used when a user does not provide a time frame and the systemreplicates continuously. The rate calculation uses performance limits tounderstand the maximum rate possible in both levels of system usage (IDLE,BUSY), and then it normalizes the rate accordingly.

v Reserving space for hub repository - This feature provides the ability toexclusively assign a fragment of a hub repository's capacity for local backups. Inlarge deployments with many spokes replicating, capacity management done bythe user might cause a situation where replication is trying to occupy all thespace in hub repository. Since the assumption is that backup has precedenceover replication, this feature has been added to ensure that capacity is reservedonly for local backup, so that replication cannot be written to this storagefragment. Error notifications appear in the event the capacity reserved for thelocal backup or the capacity reserved for replication on the repository hub isrunning out of space.

v Enhanced monitoring of repository space consumption - This enhancement isdisplayed in the GUI as a nominal data pie, where a user can get at-a-glance theproportion of the nominal data out of the repository and the internal capacitydistribution of replication data vs. local backup data and free space.

v Additional Replication information in Repository's cartridge view - Thisfeature reports cartridge replication properties such as: last update time,destination, etc. to a replication view that displays replication properties forcartridges which are also displayed in the regular cartridge view. This featureallows the user to see replication properties for a batch of cartridges each in asingle row. Sorting capability for the replication fields is equivalent to the sortingcapabilities for the rest of the cartridge fields.

v Disaster Recovery site replaces production site operation - This featuresupports a scenario where a disaster recovery site (the hub) is chosen to replaceone of its spokes permanently. The feature allows the user to “take over” theresponsibility for the cartridges of the old spoke after running the replacerepository wizard from the Replication Manager.

v Enhanced Timeframe support - This feature enhances the repository timeframeattribute to be a weekly scheduler on a repository level. The timeframe is a setof 30 minute time intervals across a full week. The user chooses at which time


interval the replication should run during a single week. The timeframe alsouses the performance limits feature for limiting the replication rate when intimeframe.

v Command Line Interface for Disaster Recovery - This feature is a CommandLine Interface (CLI) that allows a user to run complex queries on cartridges andprovides cartridge batch move operation during a manual DR procedure. Thefeature allows the user to query ProtecTIER in order to obtain a list of cartridgesthat falls under specific criteria. The query criteria are cartridge replicationproperties and cartridge location properties.

Replication gridThe replication grid is defined as an entity that supports replication between itsmembers. The replication grid members are PT repositories and are configuredusing a Replication Manager (RM). The RM is a software component that may beinstalled on a dedicated host or on a PT machine. The RM should be able to detectall members of the various networks that the RM handles on both replicationsubnets.

A replication grid defines a set of PT repositories and actions between them. TheRM is server software that is separately deployed on the customer's WAN or on aPT machine. The RM on a stand-alone installation can manage the configuration ofmultiple replication grids in an organization. An agent on each PT system(specifically on every node) interacts with the server and maintains a table of itsgrid's members.

There are two types of replication grid:

Many-to-one

In a many-to-one environment, replication groups are created wheremultiple source repositories (spokes) can receive local backups and replicateto a single destination (hub). The destination repository can then act as aDisaster Recovery site for any number of the source repositories while stillallowing local backups and replication from the active source repositories.

Many-to-one replication defines the following two roles in a replicationgrid:v Spoke - A backup target that can only replicate to a single hub, may not

be a target for replication.v Hub - A replication and backup target, may receive replication from up

to 12 spokes, may not replicate (besides failback).

A group of one hub and one or more spokes is referred to as a topologygroup. A single grid may include up to eight hubs and therefore up to eighttopology groups. Spokes do not need physical connections between them.All repositories need a network connection to the replication managerserver (a PT or dedicated host via RPQ approval).

Currently, the only many-to-one topology group supported is a VTL12-way configuration, which consists of one to twelve spokes associatedwith one hub.

Note: When upgrading from one-to-one replication to many-to-onereplication, the Replication Manager server automatically upgrades thegrid's database; therefore all replication pairs will be set as hub and spokeaccordingly. The GUI behaves as its multiple many-to-one pairs.

Many-to-many


In a many-to-many environment, replication groups are created wheremultiple repositories can replicate to each other. A many-to-manyreplication group can be defined with multiple repositories, where eachrepository assumes the responsibility of a hub repository and can receivelocal backups, replicate data to remote hub repositories, as well as receivereplicated data from remote hub repositories.

The following many-to-many topology groups are supported:

VTL 4-wayIn a VTL configuration, up to four repositories act as both hub andspoke.

OpenStorage 12-wayIn an OpenStorage configuration, up to twelve repositories act asboth hub and spoke.

FSI 16-wayIn an FSI configuration, up to sixteen repositories act as both huband spoke.

For all many-to-one and many-to-many configurations, the same cartridge can bereplicated from its principal repository to up to three destination repositories.Different cartridges can be replicated between multiple hub repositories in abidirectional manner.

Important: Be sure to coordinate between the source and destination sites toensure that the servers at both locations are fully configured before the you use theProtecTIER Replication Manager GUI to create the replication grid. Consult withSolutions Assurance and your IBM Representative for assistance and information.

Remote support through Call HomeRemote support is available for the TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance throughthe Call Home capability on the TSSC. The Call Home feature reports failuresdetected by the ProtecTIER servers. Whenever a failure is detected, Call Homesends detailed error information to IBM (home). The IBM Service Representativecan then prepare an action plan to handle the problem before traveling to theaffected installation. The appliance or gateway might also periodically sendsupport information (such as configuration, code versions, and error logs) to IBM.Doing so speeds-up problem determination and fault resolution. When enabled onthe appliance and gateway, Call Home uses a connection on your Ethernet networkto transmit hardware and software problem reports to IBM. Call Home is enabledand tested by IBM Service Representatives during initial system installation.

Tip: To enable Call Home, go to the TSSC General Settings page. The Call Homeoption allows you to select either a Modem or Ethernet interface. Set the CallHome option to use the Ethernet interface for the most reliable error notification.

When the Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) software on theProtecTIER server detects an error condition, Call Home sends detailed errorinformation through the TSSC to IBM (home). If the error indicates a problem witha field replaceable unit (FRU), an IBM Service Representative can then prepare anaction plan to handle the problem before traveling to your site.

The TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance provide four Call Home capabilities:Problem Call Home, Heartbeat Call Home, Test Call Home, and User-Initiated CallHome; descriptions follow. RAS sends data files that may be helpful to IBMSupport Center personnel for all four types of Call Home. These data files includeerror logs and configuration information, such as the Machine Reported ProductData (MRPD) log.

Test Call HomeThe IBM Service Representative sends a Test Call Home signal afterenabling the Call Home feature during initial installation. You can alsosend a Test Call Home to ensure that the setup is correct and that theappliance or gateway can successfully open a Problem ManagementRecord (PMR) in the IBM Remote Technical Assistance InformationNetwork (RETAIN).

Problem Call HomeWhen RAS detects a problem, RAS initiates a Call Home operation tocreate a PMR in RETAIN. The PMR is a single page of text data thatenables the Support Center or the Service Representative to access anaction plan and a list of applicable FRU components.

Heartbeat Call HomeTo ensure proper ongoing Call Home functionality, the system sends aHeartbeat Call Home on a regularly-scheduled basis. The heartbeat intervalis user-defined.

User-Initiated Call HomeYou can manually initiate Call Home from the TSSC GUI to collect aproduct engineering (PE) package.


Call Home through the TSSC

The TSSC is a service tool that must be present in an IBM-supported TS7650G orTS7650 Appliance. You can either order a TSSC with your appliance or gateway, oruse a TSSC already installed at your site.

Attention: While it is possible to operate a TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance withouta connected TSSC, note that IBM does not support this configuration.

For both the TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance, FC 2722 provides a new TSSC,while FC 2714 and FC 2715 allow connection of an existing TSSC. For moreinformation on these feature codes, see the IBM System Storage TS7650 ProtecTIERDeduplication Appliance and TS7650G Deduplication Gateway Introduction and PlanningGuide, GA32-0918.

Chapter 2. Physical planning specifications

This section provides physical planning and site specifications for the TS7650G andthe TS7650 Appliance.

Before the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance is installed at your site, verify that theplanned installation site meets these requirements, or prepare the site so that itdoes meet these requirements. Preparations might involve meeting arearequirements, environmental requirements, and electrical requirements forinstallation, service, and operation.

Site preparationThis section describes the preparation involved for installation.

Use the following information to prepare a location for installation of the system'scomponents.

Prepare a floor plan that includes the following information:v Power outlet locations, types, and ratingsv Frame locationsv Operator and service clearancesv Dimensions of the area containing all system components

Before hardware installation can begin, the local installation planningrepresentative must verify that all installation planning and preparation iscomplete. Additional user responsibilities include planning for the following:v Cabling and wiring for connections to the hostv Cooling and heatingv Telephone service (If not using Internet Call Home and support)v Safety and securityv Fire detection and suppressionv Floors (both raised and non-raised) that meet the operational and structural

requirements necessary for the system components

Important: You must have a license for the replication feature for each ProtecTIERserver in the replication grid. For replication to be enabled, the servers at bothsource and destination locations must be fully installed and configured before anyother steps are taken. Use this information for planning at both sites as needed.Consult with Solutions Assurance and your IBM Representative for assistance andinformation.

Lighting considerationsThe TS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance are designed for lights-out operation. Nospecial lighting considerations apply.


Upgrade considerationsConsult your IBM representative for current planning information regardingupgrades to the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance.

Accommodating cablesThis section lists considerations when planning for cabling accommodations.

Review the following considerations when planning for cabling accommodations:

Electrical power cablingPlan in advance of delivery for the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance. Thisplanning includes cabling for a second source if the dual power option hasbeen ordered and if independent sources are intended to be used.

Fibre Channel cablingPlan in advance for the TS7650 Appliance adapters to attach to yourservers or switch fabric. For the TS7650G, Fibre Channel cabling from theTS7650G adapters to the attaching customer servers or customer switchfabric should be included in the planning, as well as Fibre Channel cablingto any attached physical disk storage. In addition, customers should planfor the Fibre Channel cabling from the server frame to the disk storageframe.

Cat-5e Ethernet cablingRequired for attaching the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance to the TSSC,operator console or consoles, and to the network for replication and forcall-home reporting. For OpenStorage, you also need Ethernet cables forhost connectivity.

Clustered configurationsRequired for a network connection for the corresponding Ethernet ports onthe two TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance servers for mutual operational statemonitoring.

Analog phone lineRequired for remote access to the TSSC for TS7650G or TS7650 Appliancesupport (if not using Internet Call Home and support).

Calculating space requirementsThis section contains information useful for calculating space requirements, such asdimensions, clearances, and weights, for your data deduplication solution.

When you plan the installation location, first calculate the total amount of spacethat is needed for the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance units, including all serviceclearances and weight distribution areas. See the following subsections:v “Dimensions and weights”v “Operator and service clearances” on page 47v “Height requirements” on page 48v “Floor requirements” on page 48

Dimensions and weightsWhen you are planning the floor and space requirements for your storage units,consider the dimensions and weights of your configuration components.


For the TS7650G, see “TS7650G dimensions and weights.”

For the TS7650 Appliance, see “TS7650 Appliance dimensions and weights.”

Operator and service clearancesClearances are required around system components for the operator and theservice representative to perform certain tasks. The service clearance is the arearequired to open the service covers and to pull out components for servicing. Theweight distribution area is the area required to distribute the weight of the storageunit.

Notes:

v Size is defined by the depth from the outside of the frame and either the widthof a stand-alone frame or the length along any frames installed side-by-side. Thewidth is on a frame-to-frame basis; space required in front or behind each frameis additive. The access space for individual frames overlaps.

v Required clearance around the frame is listed below:– Front: 690 mm (27.2 in.)– Back: 660 mm (26.0 in.)– Side: 0 mm (0 in.)

v Unlike weight distribution areas that are required to handle floor loading, keepin mind that service clearances of adjacent unrelated storage units can overlap.

Figure 26. TS7650 Appliance frame isometric view


Note: The terms service clearance and weight distribution area are often confusedwith each other. The service clearance is the area required to open the servicecovers and to pull out components for servicing. The weight distribution area is thearea required to distribute the weight of the storage unit.

Aisle and door clearancesTwo persons should be available to move system components between locations.The following are the minimum aisle and door dimensions for moving componentsfrom one location to another:

Roof Height1830 mm (72 in.)

Aisle and Door Width736 mm (29 in.)

Corner Radius2237 mm (88 in.)

Ramp Inclination15°

Height requirementsThe minimum floor-to-ceiling clearance required for installation as well as therequired operating and service clearances are determined by the dimensions of theframes. For the TS7650G, IBM recommends that server components be installed ina separate frame from disk storage components.

For more information, refer to “TS7650G hardware components” on page 3 or“TS7650 Appliance hardware components” on page 13.

Floor requirementsA frame can be installed on a raised or solid floor meeting the minimum levelingand floor-loading capacity requirements.

Floor level requirementsThis section describes floor level requirements.

The maximum out-of-level condition is 25.4 mm (1 in.) over the frame's length andwidth.

For the TS7650G, the customer-supplied frame should provide leveling pads thatcan be adjusted to compensate for an uneven floor where the frame is to beinstalled.

For the TS7650 Appliance, the frame supplies leveling pads that can be adjusted tocompensate for an uneven floor where the frame is to be installed.

Weight distribution and floor loading

The floor loading (FL) for your TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance must not exceed thefloor load rating (FLR) of the location where it will be installed.

As an example: the heaviest possible frame configuration is that of a clusteredTS7650 Appliance with 36 TB of storage, for a total weight of 728 kg (1605 lb.).Using the guidance given in IBM Corporate Standard: Machine Mobility, Stability, Sizeand Mass: Design Requirements, C-S 1-3705, the FL for this configuration calculates


to 249 kg/m2 (49.3 lb./ft2). Therefore, the FLR at the location where thisconfiguration would be installed must equal or exceed 249 kg/m2 (49.3 lb./ft2).This does not include additional transient loading by personnel or equipmenttraffic.

If the frame is installed on a raised floor, the raised floor should be stabilized toprevent a horizontal shift of the raised floor structure.

Security considerationsThis section describes the security measures that need to be taken with theTS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance.

Controlling access to the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance is the customer'sresponsibility. The system should be installed in a controlled-access area to preventunauthorized access to the system's internal components, the TSSC, andProtecTIER Manager console.

For troubleshooting purposes, an IBM service representative may need to use theTSSC to open an SSH session on the appliance server. To do so, the IBM servicerepresentative will need the ptadmin account password. If the customer haschanged the default password, the customer must make the new passwordavailable to the IBM service representative upon request.

Operating environment requirementsYou must meet specific operating environment requirements at all the air intakelocations of your models.

The operating points vary depending on the state of the model. The models can bein the Operating, Non-operating, Storage, or Transit states.

Temperature and humidity

Table 26 lists the acceptable temperature and humidity ranges in which theTS7650G and the TS7650 Appliance are designed to operate.

1 The non-operating environment must not exceed the operating environmentlimits for longer than 60 days.2 The storage environment must not exceed the operating environment limitsfor longer than one year.3 Substantial deviations from the suggested operating range, in either direction,if sustained for extended periods of time, exposes the unit to greater risk offailure from external causes.

Particulates and reactive gases

Attention: Airborne particulates (including metal flakes or particles) and reactivegases acting alone or in combination with other environmental factors such ashumidity or temperature might pose a risk to the server in the TS7650G or theTS7650 Appliance. Risks that pare posed by the presence of excessive particulatelevels or concentrations of harmful gases include damage that might cause theserver to malfunction or cease functioning altogether. This specification sets forthlimits for particulates and gases that are intended to avoid such damage. Thelimits must not be viewed or used as definitive limits, because numerous otherfactors, such as temperature or moisture content of the air, can influence the impactof particulates or environmental corrosives and gaseous contaminant transfer. Inthe absence of specific limits that are set forth in this document, you mustimplement practices that maintain particulate and gas levels that are consistentwith the protection of human health and safety. If IBM determines that the levelsof particulates or gases in your environment have caused damage to the server,IBM might condition provision of repair or replacement of servers or parts onimplementation of appropriate remedial measures to mitigate such environmentalcontamination. Implementation of such remedial measures is a customerresponsibility.

Safety issuesYou must consider various safety issues when you plan your TS7650G or TS7650Appliance location.

The following list identifies some of the safety issues you must consider:v Fire suppression


v Earthquake safety

Providing a fire-suppression systemYou are responsible for providing a fire suppression system for your TS7650G orTS7650 Appliance.

IBM designs and manufactures equipment to internal and external standards thatrequire certain environments for reliable operation. Because IBM does not test anyequipment for compatibility with fire-suppression systems, IBM does not makecompatibility claims of any kind. IBM does not provide recommendations onfire-suppression systems.

Consult your insurance underwriter, local fire marshal, or local building inspectorabout selecting a fire-suppression system that provides the proper level of coverageand protection.

Earthquake effectsThere is no guarantee against equipment damage as a result of an earthquake.Many factors influence the stress imposed on system equipment, including:v Intensity and duration of the earthquakev Equipment structural strength and durabilityv Equipment location within a structurev Equipment installation methodv Building typev Soil conditions

Guarantees of equipment reliability cannot be made for all earthquakes andconditions. The damaging effects of an earthquake are minimized by appropriateinstallation and planning techniques. Significant sliding and rocking of equipmentduring an earthquake might directly or indirectly result in damage. The followingsteps can help minimize damage:v Position equipment far enough from walls to prevent or minimize collision.v Ensure that power and accessory cables are long enough to accommodate sliding

and flexing during an earthquake.v Ensure that cable clamps or other strain reliefs are secured properly to

equipment.v Secure several tall units together to form a more stable structure.v Use a flexible restraint that allows a limited amount of movement,

approximately 75 mm to 150 mm (3 in. to 6 in.), to dissipate energy imparted bythe earthquake.

Chapter 4. Sizing, configuration, and usage considerations

This section describes the sizing, configuration, and usage considerations TS7650Gand the TS7650 Appliance.

The performance of customer-supplied components, such as backup servers andstorage arrays, can greatly effect solution performance. Understanding otherfactors, such as the amount of time allotted for backups, the type of data beingstored, and the rate at which the data changes, will help you to make decisionsabout the design for your TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance solution. Your IBMrepresentative will discuss these factors with you to help you design a solutionthat meets your needs:

Backup serversUnderstanding the recommended method for connecting the backupservers to the appliance server and configuring the backup serverapplications for optimal performance with the TS7650G or TS7650Appliance.

SAN connectivityUnderstanding how the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance can be installed inyour existing SAN environment.

Storage arraysUnderstanding the performance benefits of Fibre Channel drives versusSATA drives, comparisons of different RAID levels, and recommendationsfor configuring LUNs.

Data typesUnderstanding how the compressibility of different data types affects theamount of storage required for your TS7650G or TS7650 Appliancesolution.


Chapter 5. Customer installation responsibilities

This section discusses customer installation responsibilities.

Customers are responsible for preparing the installation site, as described inChapter 2, “Physical planning specifications,” on page 43, prior to the installationof the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance.

All physical planning for the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance is a customer'sresponsibility. In summary, customers are responsible for providing networkconnections (cables and switches), SNMP catcher, email servers, host clients, andemail services for Call Home and IMM alerts. Customers must provide IBM withall necessary IP addresses for the installation of the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance:v two IP addresses per 3958 DD5 or 3958 AP1 server (for a clustered installation),

orv one IP address per 3958 DD5 or 3958 AP1 server (for a stand-alone installation)

and one IP address for the TSSC. The customer must supply an analog telephoneline for the TSSC, or allow for Internet Call Home and support. The customer mustsupply a USB keyboard and SVGA monitor for use during the installation process.

Note: The OpenStorage host interface requires more IP addresses.

Customers are responsible for obtaining a ProtecTIER Manager workstation and forobtaining the appropriate adapters and cables. Fibre Channel cables are required toattach the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance to various server adapters. Cat-5e orbetter Ethernet cables are required to attach the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance toiSCSI hosts. Refer to “TS7650G feature codes” on page 55 or “TS7650 Appliancefeature codes” on page 65, as applicable, for a list of cables for the attachment ofthe TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance. In addition, customers are also responsible forproviding client machines and required Fibre Channel and Ethernet switches asdescribed in the following sections. For an appliance, there are four Fibre Channelconnections required for each node. For a gateway, there are eight Fibre Channelconnections for each node. Additional Fibre Channel switch ports are required forthe storage connectivity.

Customers are also responsible for downloading or obtaining from IBM, andinstalling designated software programs, device drivers, and other softwareupdates in a timely manner from an IBM website or from other electronic media,and following the instructions provided.

Important: You must have a license for the replication feature for each ProtecTIERserver in the replication grid. The systems at both the source and destination sitesmust be completely installed and configured for replication before the installationof the replication functionality of the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance can begin.Consult with Solutions Assurance and your IBM Representative for assistance andinformation.Attention: For the TS7650 Appliance, before upgrading the ProtecTIER codelevel, it is required that the storage subsystem firmware, NVSRAM firmware, andthe ESM firmware on your expansion drawers be updated first.

You must call IBM Service to schedule a time to update the firmware.


TS7650G considerations

For the TS7650G, customer-supplied frames, disk controllers, and disk expansionmodules must be fully installed and operational before the installation of theTS7650G can begin. Customers are required to have an approved disk subsystemavailable and configured according to the guidelines in the “Cache configurationbest practices” on page 83 prior to the installation of the TS7650G. The customermust also supply the appropriate Fibre Channel cables, which an IBM servicerepresentative will use to attach the TS7650G to the customer-supplied disksubsystem. It is also necessary for the customer to order the appropriate featurecode for the selected disk subsystem. Refer to “TS7650G feature codes” on page 55for more information.

Note: All aspects of the backend disk repository, including configuration,monitoring, code updates, and repair actions are the responsibility of the customerin conjunction with their disk supplier.

System responsibilitiesThis section discusses the hardware and system responsibilities of the customer.

In addition to meeting the requirements set out in Chapter 2, “Physical planningspecifications,” on page 43, the customer must provide the following hardware andsystems.

ProtecTIER Manager workstation requirementsThis section discusses workstation requirements.

The ProtecTIER Manager software is used to configure, manage, and monitor theoperation of the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance. The customer are responsible forobtaining the workstation where the ProtecTIER Manager software is installed.

The customer can install the software from the supplied ProtecTIER Managerapplication disk. Complete information about installing and using the ProtecTIERManager workstation is provided in the IBM System Storage ProtecTIER User's Guidefor Enterprise Edition and Appliance Edition, GA32-0922.

The following are hardware and operating environment requirements for theProtecTIER Manager workstation.

Hardware requirements:

v x86 (Pentium or higher) microprocessorv 256 MB memoryv 1.2 GB of disk spacev Access to the ProtecTIER service node's IP address (Port 3501 and 3503 are open

on the firewall.)v Keyboard, mouse, and CD-ROM drivev Resolution of 1024x768 pixels or higher. (This is the minimum resolution

supported, however, we recommend 1280x1024.)v 24 bit color or higher

Operating environments supported:

v Windows 32 bit (2003/XP)


v Linux Red Hat 32/64 bit (Red Hat Enterprise 4 or 5)

Hardware, cabling, and infrastructure responsibilitiesIn general, the customer is responsible for providing the appropriate infrastructureresources, cables, and switches required to support TS7650G or TS7650 Applianceconnections to the ProtecTIER Manager console.

Note: The customer must use an additional connectivity device between theoptical Fibre directly connected to RMSS optical adapters (for example, Fibre,ESCON, or FICON) and an external public network. It can be a patch panel, router,switch, or other suitable device. Optical Fibre connectivity that does not go over apublic network does not require an additional connectivity device.

The customer must provide the following hardware and cabling resources prior tothe installation of the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance.v One server frame with two 220V power distribution units (TS7650G only).v One or two disk storage frames, as required, based on the amount of rack space

needed for the disk storage components. Each frame must have two 220V powerdistribution units (TS7650G only).

v Fibre Channel cables for connecting the disk controller(s) to the disk expansionmodules (TS7650G only).

v Cat-5e Ethernet cables for the connection between the TS7650G or TS7650Appliance and the TSSC.

Note: Cat-5 cables do not provide sufficient data-transfer rates for the TS7650Gor TS7650 Appliance. You must use Cat-5e or above.

v Fibre Channel cables for connecting the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance server tothe host.

v 1 SVGA monitor and 1 USB keyboard.

Note: This requirement is not necessary for TS7650 Appliance systems with FC2722 installed.

v TS7650G customers might consider Feature Code 2722 for the provision of therequired TSSC.

Note: All customer-supplied hardware components, including frames, switches,client host platforms, and media must be installed and verified as operational bythe customer prior to the installation of the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance.

Cache configuration best practicesThe disk storage array that connects to the TS7650G is a critical element of theTS7650G environment. This section lists the key factors and common configurationrequirements of the back end disk storage array that must be set appropriately inorder to establish a proper environment for ProtecTIER.

Note: This section applies only to the TS7650G.v Use RAID for data protection and performance. It is recommended that you use

RAID 5 with at least five disk members (4+1) per group for Fibre-Channel userdata LUNs (5+1 or 7+1 for SATA disks) and RAID 10 groups for meta dataLUNs (with layout per planning requirements). Even if you use SATA drives foruser data LUNs, we recommend that you use Fibre-channel disks for meta dataLUNs.

Chapter 5. Customer installation responsibilities 83

v For SATA configurations, use RAID 6 instead of RAID 5 for user data LUNs,and enable dual-parity to sustain dual disk failure.

v Create at least 24 user data RAID groups for best performance optimization. Thenumber of meta data RAID groups will be dictated by the planningsession/wizard, and can range from 2 to 10 or more RAID groups. The numberof RAID groups needed is based on repository size, factoring ratio, andperformance needs.

v Only create one LUN per RAID group, that is, one LUN that spans the entireRAID group. The only exceptions are the single 1 GB meta data LUN or whenthe LUNs on the RAID group exceed 8 TB. The 1 GB metadata LUN can becreated on any of the meta data RAID groups, but ideally should be placed onthe first.

v Tune the ProtecTIER server host type in the host connectivity settings for aLinux device-mapper-multipath client. It may be generally denoted as a Linux host.

v A repository requires a minimum of four LUNs, one for the cluster database,one for user data and two for meta data. At least 27 LUNs (one cluster, twometa data and 24 user data) give best performance.

v The size of the required meta data LUNs/filesystems is a function of thenominal capacity of the repository (physical space and expected factoring ratio)and should be determined prior to the system installation by trained ProtecTIERspecialist (FTSS).

v The size of user data RAID groups and LUNs should be consistent. For example,don't mix 7+1 SATA user data LUNs with 3+1 SATA LUNs. Smaller disk groupswill hold back the performance of the larger groups and will degrade the overallsystem throughput. Follow this policy for meta data.

v When expanding the repository, it is important to use the same tier of RAIDgroups (spindle type & quantity) for meta data or user data as the existing metaand user data groups. For example, if the original two meta data LUNs werebuilt on RAID 4+4 Groups, new meta data RAID groups added must be at least4+4 to maintain the same level of performance. Using storage from 2+2 or 4+1RAID Groups for the expansion could result in performance degradation due toinput/output bottlenecks.

v In storage arrays with active-active controller support (that is, a LUN can beaccessed from both controllers simultaneously) map LUNs to both controllers forbest load-balancing and redundancy.

v In arrays with only active-passive support (that is, a LUN can only be accessedby one controller at once) LUN mapping should be interleaved betweencontrollers (that is, LUN 0 on controller A, LUN 1 on B, 2 on A, and so on) inorder to establish load-balancing to a similarly effective degree.

v Each ProtecTIER node should have at least one Fibre Channel link/path to eachdisk array controller. With low SAN switching speeds (for example, 1 GB or 2GB), two paths per controllers are recommended.

v When using only two backend Fibre Channel links, use separate HBA ports onthe TS7650G to protect against HBA hardware failure.

v If possible, use patch cords and loop topology between the TS7650G and thedisk storage array. This saves expensive fabric ports and reduces the risk of SANfailure.

v If using SAN P2P topology to connect the TS7650G to the disk array, create adedicated zone for ProtecTIER backend ports. Do not mix the backend ports(Qlogic) with the frontend ProtecTIER ports (Emulex) or any other SAN devicesin the same zone.


v If possible, dedicate the disk storage array to the TS7650G. If not possible, usezoning and LUN masking to isolate the TS7650G from other applications. TheTS7650G should never share RAID groups or LUNs with other applications.

v ProtecTIER is a random read oriented application. 80 to 90 percent of I/O in atypical TS7650G environment is random reads at 60 Kb block size. Implementthe performance optimizations and tuning recommended by the disk vendor forthis I/O profile or as recommended in the Best Practices Guide for IBM SystemStorage TS7600 ProtecTIER Deduplication Solutions, GA32-0924.

v The disk storage array firmware version level should be equal to or greater thanthe firmware version level listed in the ProtecTIER Interoperability Matrix.

v Make sure that the ISL links between SAN switches connected to TS7650G portsand disk storage arrays are not oversubscribed.

See Appendix F, “Example cache configuration file,” on page 111 for a sampleconfiguration file for a TS7650G with an IBM System Storage DS4000 disk storagearray.

Chapter 6. IBM service installation responsibilities

This section lists IBM service installation responsibilities.

The IBM installation team is responsible for performing the followings tasksduring the installation of the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance:v Connect the network cables (provided by the customer) to the network switches

(provided by the customer) in the customer configuration.v Set IP addresses according to customer-provided network assignments.v Enable licenses.v Configure the operating system on the solution servers.v Configure the RAS package.v Configure the ProtecTIER software.v Verify that the TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance hardware is functioning properly.v Install and set up the TSSC, which includes connecting the customer-supplied

analog phone line and network cable.

Note: The supplied analog phone line must be a minimum of a 26 AWG typewire and comply with one of the following standards:– CSA NO. 233– UL 1863

v Verify communications among TS7650G or TS7650 Appliance, TSSC andProtecTIER Manager console.


Chapter 7. Planning data migration

This section discusses planning for data migration.

Use data migration considerations to formulate your data migration plan.

There are three levels of considerations to keep in mind when selecting the bestmethod for your environment. At the first level, consider broad questions aboutyour environment to create a generic profile of your needs. At the second levelcompare which migration methods fit into your generic profile. The third level isto review a set of hints and other guidelines that apply to specific environments orthat may help you take advantage of a migration to optimize your environment.

The following are some key questions to use to define your generic migrationenvironment:v Why is the data migrating?v How much data is migrating?v How quickly must the migration be performed?v What duration of service outage can be tolerated?v Is the data migration to/from the same type storage?v What resources are available for the migration?

After determining general answers to the considerations listed above, a betterunderstanding of some of the migration options along with their advantages anddisadvantages will help frame your generic profile into a subset of acceptablemigration options.

Frame range number This value is specific for setting the IPaddress range for a TSSC connection(172.31.1.xxx). These ranges are set inunits of 10 for standalone servers. Forexample: standalone server 1 would beframe range 10, standalone server 2(connected to the same TSSC) would beframe range 20, etc.

When clustering a second server, theframe range number entered should bethe same number used for the firstframe. For example: 10 for the originalserver's frame number (172.31.1.10), andwhen prompted, enter 10 for the secondnode. The system will automaticallyassign the frame range to 15 and the IPof the second node (in this case:172.31.1.15).

To check the original server's IPaddress, view the Attached System liston the TSSC, where the last octet of theIP address is the frame number(172.31.1.10 = 10).

Appendix D. IP address worksheet

Use this worksheet to specify the IP addresses assigned to the TS7650G or TS7650Appliance components. IBM service representatives use the information providedto define the IP addresses of components supported by the TSSC. When the TSSCsends Call Home information to IBM through VPN or modem, or sends younotices about serviceable events, these settings will be included in the informationto identify and provide important information about the TSSC that sent a servicerequest.

Table 38 on page 100 and Table 40 on page 101 show the default IP addresses forthe TS7650G and TS7650 Appliance servers with VTL configurations.

Table 39 on page 101 and Table 41 on page 103 show the default IP addresses forthe TS7650G and TS7650 Appliance servers with OpenStorage or FSIconfigurations.

Table 43 on page 105 shows the IP address, network mask, DNS and VLANsettings for the source and destination servers for replication. This information isneeded to configure the individual ports to communicate and transfer data overthe replication network. Write this information in the spaces provided for futurereference. Table 44 on page 106 shows the host names and other settings neededfor replication. Write the appropriate information in the spaces provided for futurereference.

Table 45 on page 107 shows the default IP addresses for the TSSC.

Table 46 on page 108 shows the IP address ranges for the gateway or appliancecomponents once they are configured to be on the TSSC's 172.31.1.xx network. Inthe spaces provided in Table 46 on page 108, write the IP addresses that you assignfor each component, so that the IP address information is available for futurereference.

Attention:

1. All components use subnet mask 255.255.255.0.2. Do not configure the replication ports on the same subnet as the external LAN

port Eth0. Doing so may cause replication errors.

ProtecTIER exposes virtual interfaces to the host, such as a media server with theplug-in installed. In version 3.2, the physical Ethernet ports are assigned to onevirtual application interface. Currently, the physical ports are assigned to virtualinterface ost1 or fsi1, depending on the server configuration. This assignmentoption is used to group several physical interfaces into a single virtual interface,and create a bond configuration of several physical interfaces. Each virtualinterface used must be configured with a corresponding IP address.

Attention: Each configured IP address on the same server needs to be on adifferent subnet, and each subnet needs to be on a different VLAN. If separatesubnets and VLAN’s are not used, in certain environments and networks, networkpackets can move to other subnets, which can harm network performance andpotentially reduce the network's quality of service.


In addition, each virtual interface containing more than one physical interface(configured as a bond) needs to be configured with a load balancing method. For aserver with 10 Gb interfaces, where bonding is implemented, the recommendedload balancing method is LACP with L3L4.

For more information about bonding, the different load balancing methods, andwhether to configure bonds at all, refer to the Best Practices Guide for IBM SystemStorage TS7600 ProtecTIER Deduplication Solutions, GA32-0924 or the IBM ProtecTIERImplementation and Best Practices, IBM Redbooks publication SG24-8025.

TSSC IP addresses from frame-to-frame

A single frame is ten IP addresses, and each node within a frame requires its ownset of ten IP addresses – from 0 to 9. If there are no attached devices/systems, thefirst usable frame would be 10. For example:v 172.31.1.10 - 172.31.1.19 would be considered frame 10v 172.31.1.20 - 172.31.1.29 would be considered frame 20v 172.31.1.30 - 172.31.1.39 would be considered frame 30...v 172.31.1.240 - 172.31.1.249 would be considered frame 240


Table 46. Base Clusters and Additional Storage Component IP addresses

The TSSC IP address range changes from frame to frame, and each new frame increments by a multiple of 10. Forexample, the first stand-alone frame range would be 10, and the second frame range would be 20.

If this is a clustered set of servers, the entry for the first server (A) will most likely be 10. For the entry for thesecond server (B), you will also enter 10 for the frame number. The code will make the adjustment automaticallybased on the answer you provide during the RAS package installation process that asks you if you are setting upthe second node. If you reply "Yes", the code will set the IP range for node 2 at 5 octets higher than what is set fornode 1 (server A). For example, if server A is set for 172.31.1.10 then server B will be set for 172.31.1.15.Note: Depending upon the address ranges available on the TSSC, the IBM Service representative may have to useranges other than those shown here.
