IBM Power Systems Summary of Important Tape Tips § TS 2900 is a great entry SAS LTO 4 drive that supports encryption – Recall that it requires POWER 6 and V 6 R 1 § Be careful not to overstate the performance of a new drive: – TS 1120 and TS 1130 perform the same on IBM i on both usermix and largefile … capacity upgrade only – LTO 3 and LTO 4 perform the same on a user mix workload – Upgrade still makes sense for largefile workloads – Upgrade still makes sense for encryption – Upgrade still makes sense if capacity is required – Half High drives have a lower sustained speed than full high drives – Previous generation media restricts drive performance § Avoid selling LVD SCSI if you can: – – LVD SCSI card tops out at 140 MB/sec, which can bottleneck the drive Not shareable Doesn’t support encryption Likely won’t go forward to the next generation of servers § LTO 5 is still a year out, and isn’t expected to give a performance gain, so feel very comfortable selling LTO 4 still § The latest LTO firmware gives a performance boost for all generations and all attachments: – For integrated drives, get the following PTFs: V 5 R 4 M 5 = MF 45813, V 6 R 1 M 0 = MF 45815 – For external drives, request the new firmware via the web 13 i want an i. © 2009 IBM Corporation

IBM Power Systems Published Info that may contain errors re Tape § SSIC Website is not ready yet § Recall that fc 5746 (integrated HH SAS LTO 4 drive) was not announced via the regular channels, so does not appear in the announcement letters or sales manual § TS 3100/TS 3200 SAS Announcement Letters + Sales Manual have multiple errors (eg it implies V 6 R 1 is a pre-req for encryption vs a pre-req for SAS) § The IBM i Planning website has multiple errors in the Jan 2008 tape entry: – http: //www-947. ibm. com/systems/support/i/planning/upgrade/futurehdwr. html – Refer to the Feb-Sept 2007 entry instead: the information is correct there § References to LTO WORM tape support are inconsistent … see WORM section later in this pitch 14 i want an i. © 2009 IBM Corporation

Bootable 16 i want an i. Bootable POWER 6 + i 6. 1 only When reloading a system using a drive attached to a non-bootable IOP’d fibre adapter card, you need to do an “alt-install” by booting to your Licensed Internal Code (LIC) CD, then reviewing the list of attached drives and selecting the one that has the *SAVSYS tape in it. When reloading a system, drives on the LVD SCSI and IOPless fibre/SAS cards can boot directly to the *SAVSYS tape if the card is in an alt-IPL slot. Fibre drives need to be direct-attached or zoned so they are the only drive visible to the card © 2009 IBM Corporation

IBM Power Systems What is Data Deduplication? § Data de-duplication (often called "intelligent compression") is a method of reducing storage needs by eliminating redundant data. Only one unique instance of the data is actually retained on storage media. Redundant data is replaced with a reference or pointer to the unique data copy. C A B B A A C C A B 1. Data elements are analyzed to determine a unique signature for each 24 i want an i. A B B A A C C A B 2. Signature values are compared to identify all duplicates A B B A A A C B 3. Duplicate data elements are eliminated and are replaced with pointers to the existing reference element © 2009 IBM Corporation

IBM Power Systems Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM) What is TKLM? • Follow-on to Encryption Key Manager (EKM) • Stores / Serves keys for Encyption: • Tape: TS 1120, TS 1130, LTO 4 • Disk: DS 8000 • MUCH more user-friendly than EKM What Platforms does it run on? IBM i customers usually run their TKLM on Windows because: • They typically have good skill on Windows • Windows Server 2003 (32 bit) • AIX 5. 3 or later ( 64 bit), AIX 6. 1 or later (64 bit) • Red Hat AS 4. 0 x 86(32 bit ) • Su. SE Linux 9. 0 and 10 x 86 (32 bit ) • Solaris 10 Sparc (64 bit) • Avoids the temptation to run TKLM on a system with a production application and accidentally encrypt the keys which makes it impossible to recover (chicken / egg problem) • Easy to load up a spare TKLM and store it offsite • Easy to acquire hardware to re-build the TKLM after a big disaster • Faster to restore / rebuild the key store on Windows vs a larger platform Although we can’t RUN TKLM on IBM i, we can use TKLM on another platform to encrypt our IBM i saves 38 i want an i. © 2009 IBM Corporation

IBM Power Systems TKLM: Advantages over EKM Much Nicer Interface • GUI Install Wizard • Web GUI Interface • Simple backup of TKLM data via GUI New Functions • Automated key rollover • Notification of expired certificates • Able to force a unique key for each LTO tape Easier to Order/Use • IBM Java Run. Time Enviroment (IBM JRE) is included with the product: no need to buy TPC/BE • Easy to include Support on the order • Better documentation via Info Center 39 i want an i. © 2009 IBM Corporation

IBM Power Systems TKLM: Pricing and Licensing TKLM A A single TKLM server license with 8 tape drive RVUs (+ 2 base RVUS) could be used as follows (simultaneously): TKLM C • Load it onto TKLM A and have both tape libraries point at it as their main Key Manager with 10 drives in the drive table TKLM B • Load it onto TKLM B and have both libraries point at it as their backup Key Manager. TKLM B will be used automatically if TKLM A is unavailable TKLM D 6 drives Primary Site 4 drives • Load it onto TKLM C and TKLM D to use in case of a disaster. The Libraries will have to be switched to point at these key managers when needed Secondary Site TKLM Server License includes: • 1 Production Copy of TKLM $3, 000 US • Multiple non-production copies of TKLM • First 2 tape drive or disk resource activations TKLM “Resource Value Units” (RVU’s): S $750 U each • Authorization to add 1 more tape drive to drive table • Or ability to encrypt 1 more TB of disk 40 i want an i. • Load it onto 2 laptops to store offsite in case of a serious disaster • Use TKLM C and TKLM D 2 -3 times a year for 2 -3 days each time for disaster recovery testing, even while TKLM A and TKLM B are serving keys • If the secondary site is a cold site (eg drives are only used in a disaster), then 4 RVUs (+ 2 base) are enough If the customer would like to run each tape library from a local TKLM, then he will need 2 TKLM server licenses (2+2 base RVU’s) and 6 extra drive RVU’s TKLM offers volume disounts.

IBM Power Systems Tape Drive Based Encryption Reminders Things to Remember § Hardware Required – – – LTO 4 or TS 1120/TS 1130 tape drives Fibre or SAS (not SCSI) Drives must reside in a tape library (although it’s OK to run in sequential mode) For LTO 4, library must have the transparent LTO encryption feature LTO 4 media for LTO 4, or any TS 1120/TS 1130 formatted media Comparable gear at your recovery site § Software Required § Key Manager reminders § Other Reminders – – – – 44 Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager Software + hardware to run it on Don’t encrypt your Key Manager Have multiple Key Managers at your home site and DR site Save your Key Manager and send a copy offsite anytime your keys change Choose TS 3500 / 3494 over other libraries since it can turn encryption on/off based on volser Include ALMS on a TS 3500 order so encrypted/non-encrypted drives can share a TS 3500 partition Hire IBM Lab Services to help with install/setup (contact Mark Even in Rochester) i want an i. © 2009 IBM Corporation
