2 Chris Bremer, CTO SAN Overview for IBM i

3 Who We Are About Us

4 About Us Overview» Founded in 1973» Over 2,000 customers worldwide» Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado» Over 44 years of experience with high availability, high performance architectures» Specializes in commercial, public sector and financial data storage 2,000+ customers worldwide

5 About Us Sample of Current Customers

6 Presenting Chris Bremer» Chief Technology Officer» 20+ years in data storage

7 SAN Concepts» Fibre Channel» Hardware» Topologies» Ports

8 IBM i SAN Overview Fibre Channel

9 SAN What is it?» SAN = STORAGE AREA NETWORK» A high speed network connecting storage devices» Disk» Tape» Virtual Tape

10 SAN What isn t it?» SAN is not NAS misspelled» NAS = Network Attached Storage» File level storage (i.e. file server)» SAN = Storage Area Network» Block level storage

11 SAN - Fiber vs. Fibre What is Fibre?» Something we should get more of?» Something we make clothes out of?» A Type of cable? NO! IT IS A PROTOCOL STANDARD

12 SAN Where did it come from? History» SCSI» Limited cable lengths» Limited speeds» Fibre Channel» Evolved to a protocol stack» Uses same upper layer as SCSI» Lower layers define protocol and hardware» Not same layers as OSI» Optimized for storage

13 SAN How fast? History» 1988 specification work started» 1994 ANSI standard approved» Gb products available» Gb products available» Gb products available» Gb products available» Gb products available» Gb products available» Gb and 128Gb products available

14 IBM i SAN Overview Hardware

15 SAN Hardware» Host HBA» Vary by host» Cabling» Connectors» Switches (optional)

16 SAN Cabling» Glass» Multi-mode 50 micron Newer installations 62.5 micron» Single mode Very long distances» Copper

17 SAN Connectors» SC cable for GBICs Old 1 Gb/s» LC cable for SFPs Newer 2 Gb/s+» MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) (QSFP) Speeds above 32 Gb/s» HSSDC for copper cables Old, slow, short, expensive

18 SAN GBIC» GBIC = Gigabit Interface Converter» Used with SC cable/connectors» 1 Gb/s Fibre Channel» Copper and optical fiber versions» > 1 Gb/s systems use SFP» Also known as transceivers (GCIC and SFP)

19 SAN SFP» SFP = Small Form-factor Pluggable» Not just for Fibre Channel» Not just for Fiber Optic cabling» Different types» SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP+, QSFP28, CFP, XFP

20 SAN Switches» Switches implement fabric environments» Allows for hardware isolation» Allows multiple configurations

21 IBM i SAN Overview Topologies and ports

22 SAN Topologies» Point-to-Point (FC-P2P)» No address» Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL)» 8 bit address (ALPA) soft or hard» Switched Fabric (FC-SW)» 24 bit address Host Device Host Device Device Host Host Switch Device Device Host Device

23 SAN Ports What is all this port stuff?

24 SAN Ports» WWN World Wide Name» Assigned by device manufacturer» Think like MAC addresses» WWPN World Wide Port Name» Port id, initiator» WWNN World Wide Node Name» Device id, target» NPIV» N_Port ID Virtualization

25 SAN Switch zoning» Zoning» Zoning used with switched (fabric) SANs» Isolates ports and devices from other ports/devices» Hard and Soft zoning Soft zoning restricts visibility by name service Hard zoning restricts actual communication New switches handle soft like hard zoning» Port and WWN zoning Port zoning applies to the switch port WWN zoning applies to the a devices WWN

26 SAN Switch zoning» Isolates hosts and peripheral devices from each other» Multiple configuration files Host Host Host Device Device Device Device Device Device Device

27 SAN Other» FCoE Fibre Channel over Ethernet» Larger IP bandwidth required» 8Gbps FC -> 10Gbps IP» CNA- converged network adapter» iscsi» SAS

28 SAN and IBM i SAN in IBM i» Disk» IASP Independent Auxiliary Storage Pool» Virtual Tape Libraries» DSI among others» Tape» LTO 7 Ultrium» TS1150

29 SAN and IBMi Learn more» Redbooks» Old (2005) but concepts still valid (Parts 1 &2)» Introduction to Storage Area Networks (2016, updated 2016) Not IBM i specific» INCITS Standards Groups» T10 SCSI Storage Interfaces» T11 Fibre Channel Interfaces
