Interaction with the TS7510 Cache Controllers to perform transparent failover/failback from path (HBA, port, switch, channel) or storage controller failure to minimize disruption to backup or restore activities. Completing the TS7510 Virtualization Engine is a software program IBM Virtualization Engine TS7510 Software V1.1 (5639-CC7), that executes on a TS7510 Virtualization Engine in the TS7510. Virtualization Engine TS7510 Software V1.1 The TS7510 V1.1 (5639-CC7) has two components: The management console program is Java based. It runs as a client on a customer-supplied management console. The TS7510 server software runs on the TS7510 Virtualization Engine. With two TS7510s installed, operating in a dual node or HA TS7510 configuration, two copies of the of the TS7510 V1.1 Software are required, one on each TS7510 Virtualization Engine. Management Console and Capacity Support per Terabyte (#3233) delivers the TS7510 Management Console program and provides entitlement to use the available disk capacity. Feature 3233 is licensed in 1 TB increments. Approximately three units of 3233 are required for every TS7510 Cache Controller and TS7510 Cache Module allocated to the TS7510 Virtualization Engine applicable to each 5639-CC7 license. The maximum disk capacity that may be allocated to any one TS7510 Virtualization Engine is 23 TB.

3 Management console A management console is used for configuration, management, and service support for the TS7510 Virtualization Engine. This console is required by the TS7510 and is either supplied by the customer or optionally can be ordered from IBM. If a management console machine is ordered, it is placed as a separate order from the TS7510. Refer to the Hardware requirements section for the minimum requirements needed for the management console. Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act The IBM TS7510 Virtualization Engine is capable as of October 28, 2005, when used in accordance with associated IBM documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used with the product properly interoperates with it. A U.S. Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) can be requested via IBM s Web site at index.html Product positioning The TS7510 Virtualization Engine is a high-performance, high-capacity open systems virtual tape product designed to augment the tape backup and restore process in large tape environments. The TS7510 is designed to aid in the tape backup and restore process by helping to provide customers significant operational and throughput efficiencies via tape virtualization, namely: Backup window reduction Restore time reduction Data sharing and resource virtualization facilitation Operational efficiencies Low total cost of ownership Capability to allow multiple disparate backup applications to share the same physical resources The TS7510 is a tape virtualization solution for open systems attachment over Fibre Channel interfaces. It is designed to help achieve significant operational efficiencies by storing the daily backup in the TS7510 disk cache. As backup data ages, the older data may be migrated to real tape for longer term storage. Since daily backup data is now written to virtual tape via the disk cache, heavy daily tape drive usage can be greatly reduced. Fewer personnel may be needed to administer the backup process when it includes virtual tape. A TS7510 equipped with one TS7510 Virtualization Engine has four Fibre Channel ports available for host or tape attachment. A TS7510 equipped with two TS7510 Virtualization Engines has eight Fibre Channel ports available for host or tape attachment. With eight Fibre Channel interfaces a TS7510 can connect up to four ports directly to the tape SAN. The TS7510 differs from many other open systems virtual tape products, by enabling either direct tape attachment or parallel tape attachment. Direct tape attachment is where real tape drives or libraries are physically attached to the TS7510. Parallel tape attachment is where real tape drives or libraries are attached to the host server and data is transferred from the TS7510 through the host server to real tape drives or libraries that are physically attached to the host server. The TS7510 can help reduce the backup window in many installations. Since robotic movement, tape load/thread, and physical tape search and rewind is eliminated in virtual tape, the effective utilization of the Fibre Channel interfaces is high. That means more tape jobs can be run to virtual tape over a single interface than to real tape. If the backup window is reduced, the time allowed for migration to real tape is increased, thus potentially reducing the of real tape drives needed for longer term backup data storage. The TS7510 is designed to improve business continuity by providing better restore times. By having the data in the disk cache, the TS7510 is designed to help decrease restore times. With 512 virtual tape drives, and 64 virtual tape libraries, each backup server can be allocated their own virtual resources, allowing multiple and disparate backup applications to use the same physical resources. This offers the potential for infrastructure simplification. Multiple different tape libraries and tape drives can be aggregated to one or more TS7510s, helping centralize the backup resources and further reduce the operational cost. The addition of the TS7510 into your tape backup architecture can help provide significant operational cost reductions, and performance benefits.
