3 1 Introduction The IBM TS7700 Virtualization Engine (TS7700) is the latest in the line of tape virtualization products that has revolutionized the way mainframe customers utilize their tape resources. Tape Virtualization subsystems have become an essential part of most mainframe customer s operations. The ability to connect two or more clusters into a grid provides support for high availability and disaster recovery configurations. The customer can choose which volumes to copy to other clusters, what clusters to copy them to, the number of copies to be made, and how the copies are completed. In addition to the traditional System z operating systems (z/os, z/vm, z/vse and z/tpf) that support the TS7700 Virtualization Engine, the focus here are on opportunities for the TS7700 Virtualization Engine to be used with Linux for System z. We ll first discuss a new product in Tivoli, the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for z/os Media, and how it can be used with the TS7700 Virtualization Engine. Then we ll discuss how Linux on System z guests running under z/vm can also access the TS7700 Virtualization Engine. This lets you expand and protect your TS7700 Virtualization Engine investment with opportunities for Linux on System z data. Page 3 of 11

5 2 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for z/os Media The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for z/os Media V6.3 (Basic or Extended Edition) enable IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.3 servers running on AIX and Linux on System z to access ESCON or FICON attached disk and tape storage devices on z/os. This paper focuses on the use of this support with IBM's tape storage devices and in particular with the IBM System Storage TS7700 Virtualization Engine. By using these products together, you can protect your hardware investment and share the TS7700 Virtualization Engine (or other storage devices) with your more traditional System z (z/os, z/vm, z/vse, and z/tpf) data. 2.1 Overview IBM Tivoli Storage Manager is a client/server program that provides centralized, automated data protection and storage management solutions to customers in a multivendor computer environment. Tivoli Storage Manager provides a policy-managed backup, archive, and spacemanagement facility for file servers, workstations, applications, and application servers. The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for z/os Media V6.3 (Basic or Extended Edition) are replacement products for the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for z/os V5.5. The Tivoli Storage Manager for z/os Media is installed on a z/os system and provides access to ESCON or FICON attached disk and tape. With a Tivoli Storage Manager V6.3 server on AIX or Linux on System z, you can take advantage of this new support and the functions available in Tivoli Storage Manager V6. This support enables TSM to access and use your existing ESCON or FICON attached storage devices on a z/os system. And for compatibility, the tape volumes and data that were previously managed by the Tivoli Storage Manager for z/os V5.5 server remain available to the Tivoli Storage Manager V6.3 server on AIX or Linux for System z. This enables the TSM client to transfer data to and from the z/os media server using a TCP/IP network. The solution can also be configured for use with TSM Storage Agents and requires the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Storage Area Networks. A storage agent can be configured to transfer backup and archive client data over the LAN directly to z/os attached storage devices. The storage agent can send the data directly to the server using the paths between the storage agent and the server. Focusing on tape, the Tivoli Storage Manager for z/os Media uses standard z/os interfaces: System-Managed Tape (SMStape) support for tape library and volume management DFSMSdfp Basic Sequential Access Method (BSAM) for tape write and read access 2.2 Backup-archive Client and the z/os Media Server The z/os media server provides read and write access to tape volumes, requesting mounts based on information received from the Tivoli Storage Manager server on AIX or Linux on System z. A typical backup operation to z/os attached storage consists of the steps outlined in Figure 1. Figure1 - Data flow from the backup-archive client to z/os media server storage Page 5 of 11

6 1. The Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client contacts the Tivoli Storage Manager server. 2. The Tivoli Storage Manager server selects a library resource and volume for the backup operation. 3. The Tivoli Storage Manager server contacts the z/os media server to request a volume mount. 4. The z/os media server mounts the tape volume. 5. The z/os media server responds to the Tivoli Storage Manager server that the mount operation is complete. 6. The backup-archive client begins sending data to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. 7. The Tivoli Storage Manager server stores metadata in the database and manages the data transaction. 8. The Tivoli Storage Manager server sends the backup-archive client data to the z/os media server. 9. The z/os media server writes the data to z/os attached storage device Page 6 of 11

7 2.3 Storage Agent Usage with the z/os Media Server A storage agent can be configured to access z/os storage resources that are controlled by a z/os media server. The storage agent installed on a client system communicates with the z/os media server over the LAN as shown in figure 2. Figure2 - Data movement in a z/os media server environment Storing or retrieving data between a storage agent and z/os media server storage consists of the following steps: 1. The storage agent initiates a data request with the Tivoli Storage Manager server to determine whether a path exists to the z/os media server. 2. The Tivoli Storage Manager server determines that a path does exist from the storage agent to the z/os media server. 3. The Tivoli Storage Manager server provides the storage agent with the z/os media server name from the library path definition, in addition to a volume and library name. The storage agent uses the server name, volume name (PRIVATE or SCRATCH), and library path definition to establish that it is configured to access the z/os media server. The storage agent determines the IP address, port, and password for the z/os media server from the Tivoli Storage Manager server database. 4. The storage agent sends a request for a volume mount to the z/os media server, using the IP address, port and password. 5. The z/os media server authenticates the connection, completes the volume open request, and mounts the FILE or TAPE volume. Page 7 of 11

8 6. The client, through the storage agent, sends or receives data to or from the z/os media server. The Tivoli Storage Manager server manages the storage agent transaction. 7. The storage agent sends metadata information to the Tivoli Storage Manager server, and the server stores the information in its database. 2.4 Optional HiperSocket Usage You can also establish network connections for data movement from a storage agent to a z/os media server on Linux for System z using HiperSockets (rather than the LAN). Figure 3 displays a Tivoli Storage Manager for a Linux on System z server connecting to a z/os media server by using HiperSockets. Client data is then transferred between the storage agent and the z/os media server using HiperSockets. Metadata and control information is also transferred from the storage agent to the Tivoli Storage Manager server through the use of HiperSockets as well. Figure3 - Data movement from a storage agent using HiperSockets 2.5 Installation and Configuration For a detailed discussion of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for z/os Media and what is required to plan and configure this support refer to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Information Center: Page 8 of 11

9 c%2fr_zsrv_operations.html 2.6 System-Managed Tape (SMStape) As with any other tape application running on System z (z/os), the system-managed tape (SMStape) support is used to manage IBM s tape libraries, including the IBM TS7700 Virtualization Engine (for virtual tape), the IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library (for physical tape), and the Manual Tape Library (for stand-alone tape devices). With SMStape, policies can be established through system-managed storage (SMS) and the automatic class selection (ACS) routines that enable a tape allocation request to be system-managed and hence directed to one or more tape libraries. Using the existing SMStape support, the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for z/os tape allocation requests can be directed to a TS7700 Virtualization Engine (or another tape device). There is no additional support required other than the support that is needed for the tape devices that are being used. The IBM TS7700 Virtualization Engine is a product family that consists of the TS7740 Virtualization Engine (disk cache with physical back store tape) and the TS7720 Virtualization Engine (disk cache only with no physical back store tape). One or more TS7700 Virtualization Engines (or a mix referred to as a hybrid configuration) can be interconnected using TCP/IP to form what is referred to as a multi-cluster grid configuration for local, metro and remote data availability requirements. Copies of the data can then exist in one or more of the clusters in the grid and can be accessed from any cluster in the grid. Using advanced policy management, also referred to as outboard policy management, you can assign policies through the SMS ACS routines that enable policy actions at the library. The policy actions at the library are associated with the assigned SMS contract names (storage class, storage group, management class, and data class) and enable a number of different functions at the library. The established policies can, for instance, indicate in which cluster a copy of the data should exist and also how those copies should be made (in immediate, synchronous, or deferred mode). The established policies can also indicate if the logical volume should be treated as write-once-read many (WORM) or as read-writeable (R/W) media. The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for z/os is able to take advantage of the functions and capabilities of the TS7700 Virtualization Engine, the same as with any other tape application writing to the TS7700. For a detailed discussion of the System- Managed Tape support, refer to z/os DFSMS Object Access Method Planning, Installation, and Storage Administration Guide for Tape Libraries: bin/bookmgr_os390/books/dgt2o370/ccontents?shelf=ez2zo213&dn=sc &DT= Page 9 of 11

10 3 Linux Guests under z/vm With Linux on System z running as a guest under z/vm, zvm can also be used to automate access to an IBM tape library including the IBM TS7700 Virtualization Engine. For a discussion of this support refer to z/vm: DFSMS/VM Removable Media Services t3%2fhcsm3c1103.htm and appendix section 3494 and 3495 Control for Foreign Processors. Though not explicitly referenced, this section also applies to the IBM TS7700 Virtualization Engine and describes how DFSMS/VM Removable Media Services (RMS) can be used to provide automated access to library resident tape cartridges for "foreign" processors, when the devices are connected to a z/vm system as well as the foreign host. A foreign host in this in this context would be a TCP/IP-capable processor or host environment (such as Linux) that does not provide native control for IBM s tape libraries but does support the tape devices to which it is connected (in this case 3490E tape devices).
