The system supports multiple petabytes of storage and up to a billion files in a single file system and supports up to 256 file systems per system. Data access to the system from client computers is provided using industry standard network file protocols NFS v2/v3, CIFS, and FTP, (including z/os NFS client support). In addition, the system supports traditional NAS features and functions, including: Snapshots Quotas (user, group, and fileset level) Integration with user directory servers such as Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and LDAP Command line interface (CLI) and browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) Call Home and Remote Support capabilities In addition to these traditional features, the system supports advanced features, including: Integrated Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) backup client Key prerequisites Refer to the Hardware requirements section.

2 Description IBM Scale Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS) is a Scale Out NAS software system designed to manage vast repositories of information. The SONAS (5639-SN1) is preloaded and licensed on each node in the IBM SONAS hardware system, including: Management node (2851-SM1) Interface nodes (2851-SI1) Storage nodes (2851-SS1) The software provides file serving capability to client computer systems using industry standard network file protocols, including the following: Network File System (NFS) v2/v3 (including z/os NFS client support) Microsoft Common Internet File System (CIFS) File Transfer Protocol (FTP) The SONAS software is capable of interoperating with any client computer system that supports industry standard network file protocols. End users accessing data residing in the SONAS system can be authenticated against an external user directory service, such as Microsoft Active Directory (MS AD) or a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server. Each file system has support for up to 256 snapshots. Each snapshot copy represents a point-in-time copy of the file system, from which prior copies of individual files or directories can be accessed and restored. Windows users can access prior snapshot copies via the Previous Copies tab on the Windows file properties dialog box. Quotas can be used to limit the number of files created or amount of space consumed by an individual user, groups or filesets (a fileset is a portion of the file system directory tree). Both soft quotas and hard quotas are supported. The software provides a unified command line interface for configuring, administrating, and monitoring the system and a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) which runs on the SONAS management node (2851-SM1). A client side application is not required in order to configure, monitor, or manage the system. The GUI includes a System Health Center which monitors the overall health of the SONAS system and displays that information in a topology view allowing the customer to quickly identify when hardware problems occur in the system. The Health Center includes a centralized alert log to capture all the critical software and hardware failures within the system. The alerts within the alert log can be filtered by a variety of criteria. In addition to the alert log, the system Health Center also includes a centralized system log. All system logs from all hardware components (including interface nodes, storage nodes, storage controllers, infiniband switches, and ethernet switches) are gathered in a centralized system log on the SONAS management node (2851-SM1). The events in the centralized system log can be filtered by a variety of criteria to allow easy viewing of information of particular interest. The software provides Call Home capability. When hardware failure occurs within a SONAS system, the software gathers diagnosis data and calls home to IBM via a secure web connection to open a problem reporting record (PMR) in the IBM Problem Reporting System (RETAIN ) so that IBM is aware of the problem. The software includes Remote Support capability. IBM Product Field Engineers (PFE) and service personnel can remotely diagnose problems inside the system via a broadband connection to the system, if approved and authorized by the customer. The approval and authorization is on an individual connection instance basis, IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 2

3 meaning the customer must approve and authorize each connection to the system by an IBM service personnel. The software includes a threshold notification facility allowing the customer to set up thresholds regarding specific operating parameters within the system, and to be notified via or SNMP alerts when those thresholds are exceeded. The software also has the capability to have the nodes in a SONAS system synchronize time with an external time server via the Network Time Protocol (NTP).

5 Technical information Specified operating environment Hardware requirements This program requires one of the SONAS Interface Node (2851-SI1), Storage Node (2851-SS1), or Management Node (2851-SM1). Each node in a SONAS system requires one license of the software (5639-SN1) to function. The license is provided via the charge code that pertains to the corresponding SONAS hardware node. For example, if the SONAS system contains three Interface nodes, one Management node, and two Storage nodes, a corresponding 5639-SN1 must be ordered with a quantity of three Interface node features (#0001), one Management node feature (#0002), and two Storage node features (#0003). requirements The program's specifications and specified operating environment information may be found in documentation accompanying the program, if available, such as a README file, or other information published by IBM, such as an announcement letter. Documentation and other program content may be supplied only in the English language. Limitations This program (5639-SN1) operates on specified SONAS systems only, currently defined by IBM 2851-SI1, 2851-SS1, and 2851-SM1 SONAS nodes.
