1 Hardware Announcement May 10, 2005 IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller Uninterruptible Power Supply hardware feature delivers new configuration option Overview The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) single provides an independent UPS for one engine of an IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller cluster. For some SAN Volume Controller configurations, use of this feature may result in a lower configuration price as compared to use of the previously announced UPS feature, number Key prerequisites The SAN Volume Controller supports connectivity with Intel -based servers running Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows 2003 Advanced Server, Linux Red Hat Advanced Server, SUSE Linux SLES 8, Novell NetWare, VMware ESX, and with RISC-based servers running AIX, HP-UX, or Sun Solaris operating systems. Many of these servers require the Subsystem Device Driver (SDD) multipathing driver. Storage controllers from IBM and select disk arrays from other manufacturers are supported. The full interoperability matrix for SAN Volume Controller solution is available at /support/2145 The IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller Storage Software V2, or later, must be ordered separately. For additional details, refer to Software Announcement , dated February 15, At a glance The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) single (#8115) feature: Provides temporary emergency power for one engine (node) of the IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller Is supported by SVC Storage Software V2, or later For ordering, contact: Your IBM representative, an IBM Business Partner, or the Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL Reference: YE001 Planned availability date May 13, 2005 This announcement is provided for your information only.

2 Description The IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller is a storage virtualization solution that incorporates highly specialized software, control engines (SVC Storage Engines) installed in pairs, a master console, and UPSs. The SAN Volume Controller hardware configuration consists of a cluster of IBM 2145 Model 4F2 servers, called SVC Storage Engines. Each SVC Storage Engine is a node; two nodes make up a node pair (I/O Group), and up to four I/O Groups constitute a SAN Volume Controller cluster. The cluster is scalable from one to four node pairs (I/O Groups), and supported by dual read/write cache. This design is intended to help avoid single points of failure, and support concurrent maintenance. IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller Storage Engine: The SVC Storage Engine is shipped with preloaded IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller Storage Software (ordered separately). For a description of the software and ordering procedures, refer to Software Announcement , dated February 15, The storage engines must be installed in pairs to provide load sharing and failover protection. Four optical fiber cables are required by each engine in the cluster for connection to the Fibre Channel Switches in the SAN. If the master console (#4001) is included in the initial SVC Storage Engine order, two additional optical fiber cables are required. These cables are not provided as part of the engine, but may be ordered by feature number. Each SVC Storage Engine has an Ethernet port for connection via Ethernet LAN to the master console, which provides configuration and error reporting. These connections need to be aggregated together through an Ethernet hub or switch. The Ethernet hub or switch and cabling are not included as part of the SAN Volume Controller. Master Console (#4001 or #4002): The master console is used as a platform for the configuration, management, and service software required to manage the SAN Volume Controller. The hardware feature (#4001) is a rack-mounted server that includes a keyboard and monitor. The master console, monitor, and keyboard (#4001) occupy a 2U space in the rack. Its preloaded software provides the following functions: SNMP Trap management Call Home capability Remote Service capability via Virtual Private Network (VPN) Browser support for FC switches SAN Volume Controller CLI support for configuration SAN Volume Controller configuration using the SAN Volume Controller Console SAN Topology rendering using Tivoli SAN Manager The Master Console Software (#4002) provides the same function, but is a software-only alternative feature and must be installed on equivalent customer-provided hardware that meets minimum requirements. The master console includes IBM and Licensed Machine Code and non-ibm code. Use is subject to the terms of the applicable licenses. The master console is ordered as a feature of the first SVC Storage Engine of the IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller. It is required for each SAN containing IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controllers. Additional or subsequent SAN Volume Controllers within a SAN can share the master console. A power cord to connect the Master Console (#4001) to a standard Power Distribution Unit (PDU) (for feature number 4001 only) ships standard with the Master Console (#4001). If the Master Console (#4001) will not be installed in a rack with a PDU, a country-specific power cord must be ordered with the Master Console (#4001) to connect to an alternate power source. License information for programs furnished with the Master Console (#4001 or #4002) is shipped with the master console. Uninterruptible Power Supply: In the event of a power failure, the UPS can provide temporary power while the contents of the SVC cache and cluster information is written to the internal disk drives of each node of the SVC. The UPS monitors the condition of its battery to enable planned maintenance actions to be performed. Each UPS provides an independent source of power to the node to which it is connected. It must not be used for any other purpose. The UPS single feature (#8115) provides one UPS for one SVC Storage Engine of the SAN Volume Controller cluster. (Feature number 8100 provided a pair of UPSs, each of which supported two engines.) UPS single requires SVC Storage Software V2, or later. For orders of a new SVC cluster (includes an initial engine, feature number 3001) running SVC software V2, or later, placed after May 10, 2005, one UPS single (#8115) must be ordered for each engine of a SVC cluster, both for the initial engine (#3001) and for additional engines (#3002). Each UPS single requires a 220 V, 10 amp power source; the UPS single is protected by its own 10 amp circuit breaker. UPSs of a node pair (I/O group) should be connected to separate circuits to provide added redundancy. This feature may be mixed with UPS feature number 8100 in a SAN Volume Controller configuration only for configurations running SVC Storage Software V2, or later. For SVC configurations running SVC Software V1, UPS feature number 8100 must be used; V1 does not support feature number For clusters of two or six engines, the use of UPS single may result in a lower-price solution. UPS feature number 8100 supported up to four nodes. Power cords to connect the UPS to a standard PDU ships standard with the UPS. Country-specific power cords to connect to an alternate power source must also be ordered with the UPS. This feature is plant-installed only. Product positioning The SAN Volume Controller is a modular implementation of IBM solutions designed to help address the complexities and cost of managing SAN-based storage. The SAN Volume Controller is designed to be added to existing SANs with minimal disruption.
