IBM System Storage DS8700 Architecture and Implementation by Bertrand Dufrasne,Werner Bauer,Brenda Careaga,Jukka Myyrrylainen,Antonio Rainero,Paulus Usong,IBM Redbooks Pdf

This IBM® Redbooks® publication describes the concepts, architecture, and implementation of the IBM System Storage® DS8700 storage subsystem. This book has reference information that will help you plan for, install, and configure the DS8700 and also discusses the architecture and components. The DS8700 is the most advanced model in the IBM System Storage DS8000® series. It includes IBM POWER6®-based controllers, with a dual 2-way or dual 4-way processor complex implementation. Its extended connectivity, with up to 128 Fibre Channel/FICON® ports for host connections, make it suitable for multiple server environments in both open systems and IBM System z® environments. If desired, the DS8700 can be integrated in an LDAP infrastructure. The DS8700 supports thin provisioning. Depending on your specific needs, the DS8700 storage subsystem can be equipped with SATA drives, FC drives, and Solid® State Drives (SSDs). The DS8700 can now automatically optimize the use of SSD drives through its no charge Easy Tier feature. The DS8700 also supports Full Disk Encryption (FDE) feature. Its switched Fibre Channel architecture, dual processor complex implementation, high availability design, and the advanced Point-in-Time Copy and Remote Mirror and Copy functions that incorporates make the DS8700 storage subsystem suitable for mission-critical business functions.

SAN Boot Implementation and Best Practices Guide for IBM System Storage by Sangam Racherla,Delmar Demarchi,Scott Dybas,Bobby Stark,Mansoor Syed,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Booting servers from a storage area network (SAN) is being used increasingly in complex data center environments today, due to its significant benefits over the traditional method of booting from local disks. SAN Boot enables organizations to maximize consolidation of their IT resources, minimize their equipment costs, and realize the considerable management benefits of centralizing the boot process. In SAN Boot, you can deploy diskless servers in an environment where the boot disk is located on (often RAID-capable) storage connected to the SAN. The server (initiator) communicates with the storage device (target) through the SAN using the Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA). The system downtime is greatly minimized in case a critical component such as a processor, memory, or host bus adapter fails and needs to be replaced. The system administrator needs to swap only the hardware and reconfigure the HBA's BIOS, switch zoning, and host-port definitions on the storage server. The system image still exists on the logical drive, therefore the server is fully operational after the hardware swap and configuration change is completed. This IBM® Redbooks® publication can help you with the SAN Boot implementation. We present various SAN Boot scenarios using IBM System Storage® products that include DS5000, DS8000®, XIV®, and SVC. The operating systems that are covered include Windows 2008, Red Hat Linux, SUSE Linux, and VMware.

Disaster Recovery and Backup Solutions for IBM FileNet P8 Version 4.5.1 Systems by Wei-Dong Zhu,Gary Allenbach,Ross Battaglia,Julie Boudreaux,David Harnick-Shapiro,Heajin Kim,Bob Kreuch,Tim Morgan,Sandip Patel,Martin Willingham,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Many organizations require continuous operation of their mission-critical, IBM® FileNet P8® systems after a failure has occurred. Loss of system resources and services as a result of any failure can translate directly into lost customers and lost revenue. The goal, therefore, is to design and implement a FileNet P8 system that ensures continuous operation even after a failure happens. This IBM Redbooks® publication focuses on FileNet P8 Version 4.5.1 systems disaster recovery. The book covers strategies, preparation levels, site sizing, data replication, testing, and what to do during a disaster. Backup and restore planning is a critical aspect of a disaster recovery strategy. We discuss backup types and strategies. We also discuss alternative strategies such as rolling storage policies and IBM FlashCopy® capability. With the help of use cases and our lab testing environment, the book provides guidelines for setting up a FileNet P8 production environment and a standby FileNet P8 disaster recovery system. This book is intended for IT architects, IT specialists, project managers, and decision makers, who must identify the best disaster recovery strategies and integrate them into the FileNet P8 system design process.

IBM DS8870 Easy Tier Heat Map Transfer by Bert Dufrasne,Artur Borowicz,IBM Redbooks Pdf

This IBM® RedpaperTM publication describes the concepts, functions, and practical usage of IBM Easy Tier® Heat Map Transfer (HMT). IBM System Storage® DS8000® Easy Tier is designed to automate data placement throughout the storage system disks pool. Easy Tier generates a heat map. It is a workload activity metric for each extent in a logical volume. With Easy Tier HMT, it is possible to transfer the heat map from a mirrored primary site and reapply it periodically at secondary and tertiary sites by using the Easy Tier Heat Map Transfer Utility (HMTU). This capability helps maintain storage performance after a failover to a remote site. With DS8870 Release 7.5, the heat map transfer supports Metro Global Mirror (MGM) replication topology in addition to Metro Mirror/Global Copy/Global Mirror (MM/GC/GM) functions. This paper is for those professionals who want to understand the Easy Tier HMT concept and its underlying design. It also provides guidance and practical illustrations about the operation of the HMTU. For more information about the general concept of Easy Tier, see IBM DS8000 Easy Tier, REDP-4667. For more information about Easy Tier Server and Easy Tier Application, see the following publications: IBM System Storage DS8000 Easy Tier Server, REDP-5013 DS8870 Easy Tier Application, REDP-5014
