Storage and Tape Support 2 Q 2009 • Storage support – Blade. Center H and JS 12/JS 23/JS 43: • SAS – DS 3200 • Fibre Channel – DS 3400, DS 4700, DS 4800, DS 8100, DS 8300, SVC – Multiple storage subsystems supported with SVC • IBM is investigating DS 5100, DS 5300 and XIV support for Power blades – Blade. Center S and JS 12/JS 23/JS 43: • SAS – BCS drives with NSSM and RSSM; DS 3200 only with NSSM • Tape support – Blade. Center H and Blade.

Configuring Storage for IBM i on Blade • Step 1: Perform sizing – – – Use Disk Magic, where applicable Use the PCRM, Ch. 14. 5 – http: //www. ibm. com/systems/i/advantages/perfmgmt/resource. html Number of physical drives is still most important VIOS itself does not add significant disk I/O overhead For production workloads, keep each i partition on a separate RAID array • Step 2: Use appropriate storage UI and Redbook for your environment to create LUNs for IBM i and attach to VIOS (or use TPC or SSPC where applicable) Storage Configuration Manager for NSSM and RSSM DS Storage Manager for DS 3200, DS 3400, DS 4700, DS 4800 DS 8000 Storage Manager for DS 8100 and DS 8300 SVC Console for SVC 35 © 2009 IBM Corporation

Configuring Storage for IBM i on Blade, Cont. • Step 3: Assign LUNs or physical drives in BCS to IBM i – ‘cfgdev’ in VIOS CLI necessary to detect new physical volumes if VIOS is running – Virtualize whole LUNs/drives (“physical volumes”) to IBM i – Do not use storage pools in VIOS 36 © 2009 IBM Corporation

Configuring Storage with the RSSM • Step 1: download SCM – • Step 2: install SCM and add RSSM in Bay 3 (get IP address from AMM) • Step 3: use SCM to create RAID arrays (storage pools) and volumes, and to assign volumes to blades http: //www-947. ibm. com/systems/supportsite. wss/docdisplay? lndocid=MIGR-5078617&brandind=5000016 • See Readme for details 37 © 2009 IBM Corporation

IBM i Support for Virtual Tape • Virtual tape support enables IBM i partitions to directly backup to Power. VM VIOS attached tape drive saving hardware costs and management time • Simplifies backup and restore processing with Blade. Center implementations – – – • Simplifies migration to blades from tower/rack servers – • LTO-4 drive can read backup tapes from LTO-2, 3, 4 drives Supports IBM Systems Storage SAS LTO-4 Drive – – • IBM i 6. 1 partitions on Blade.

Migrating IBM i to Blade • Virtual tape makes migration to blade similar to migration to tower/rack server: – On existing system, go save option 21 on LTO-2, LTO-3 or LTO-4 media – On blade, use virtual tape to perform D-mode IPL and complete restore – Existing system does not have to be at IBM i 6. 1 • Previous-to-current migration also possible • IBM i partition saved on blade can be restored on tower/rack server – IBM i can save to LTO-3 and LTO-4 media on blade • For existing servers that do not have access to LTO tape drive, there are two options: – Save on different media, convert to LTO as a service, restore from LTO – Use Migration Assistant method 41 © 2009 IBM Corporation

Multiple Virtual SCSI Adapters for IBM i • Since VIOS 2. 1 in November 2008, IBM i is no longer limited to 1 VSCSI connection to VIOS and 16 disk + 16 optical devices • What IVM will do: – Create 1 VSCSI server adapter in VIOS for each IBM i partition created – Create 1 VSCSI client adapter in IBM i and correctly map to Server adapter – Map any disk and optical devices you assign to IBM i to the first VSCSI server adapter in VIOS – Create a new VSCSI server-client adapter pair only when you assign a tape device to IBM i – Create another VSCSI server-client adapter pair when you assign another tape device • What IVM will not do: – Create a new VSCSI server-client adapter pair if you assign more than 16 disk devices to IBM i 42 © 2009 IBM Corporation

Multiple Virtual SCSI Adapters for IBM i, Cont. • Scenario I: you have <=16 disk devices and you want to add virtual tape – Action required in VIOS: • In IVM, click on tape drive, assign to IBM i partition – Separate VSCSI server-client adapter pair created automatically • Scenario II: you have 16 disk devices and you want to add more disk and virtual tape – Actions required in VIOS: • In VIOS CLI, create new VSCSI client adapter in IBM i – VSCSI server adapter in VIOS created automatically • In VIOS CLI, map new disk devices to new VSCSI server adapter using ‘mkvdev’ • In IVM, click on tape drive, assign to IBM i partition • For details and instructions, see IBM i on Blade Read-me First: http: //www. ibm. com/systems/power/hardware/blades/ibmi. html 43 © 2009 IBM Corporation

Notes on performance estimates r. Perf for AIX r. Perf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other IBM UNIX systems. It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads, TPC and SPEC benchmarks. The r. Perf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way. The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU, cache and memory. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations. • r. Perf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement. Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics. The IBM e. Server p. Series 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 1. 0. Although r. Perf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance, actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration. Note that the r. Perf methodology used for the POWER 6 systems is identical to that used for the POWER 5 systems. Variations in incremental system performance may be observed in commercial workloads due to changes in the underlying system architecture. All performance estimates are provided "AS IS" and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM. Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks, and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying. For additional information about r. Perf, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller. ==================================== CPW for IBM i Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is a relative measure of performance of processors running the IBM i operating system. Performance in customer environments may vary. The value is based on maximum configurations.
