INFORMATION - Consolidation

MARKET – OPPORTUNITY – Problem needing a solution

The market for consolidate storage is fairly well understood. There are generally two different types of access to storage; block and file. The block level access is performed by devices like the DS3000/DS4000/DS5000. The storage looks and feels like direct attached storage, and the performance characteristic requirements are usually more demanding. File level access requires a server (or appliance) between the storage and the servers accessing the storage via NFS or CIFS. This type of storage is usually less demanding as far as performance is required, but usually has the requirement of sharing access to files for multiple servers. This is the environment that spawned the NAS industry. Originally the NAS storage server was a standard server with lots of direct attached storage. This model is alive and well in many customer environments.

Problems arise with the standard server approach when other applications start to run on the servers that are providing NAS storage to other systems. Many times server maintenance, application problems, or hardware problems can cause wide outages (to many other servers besides the file server). As the industry matured, the file server role became separated, and the idea of storage consolidate became split between block-level and network-attached storage.

Some of the NAS vendors, noticing that benefits of storage consolidation was being diluted, decided to offer block-level access to their NAS storage. Although this seems like a good thing, the differences in storage access methodology leads to several inefficiencies, and performance suffers. Remember, when consolidating storage, performance is very important because more and more servers (and hence more and more applications) are relying on fewer storage subsystems. This means that slower performance can impact many application (not just one server), and have a greater impact on the business as a whole.

Another approach is to consolidate the storage onto a storage subsystem, and have a “NAS GATEWAY” offer NAS access to the consolidated storage. This is similar to having another server on the SAN, but the application is to provide file level access to other servers. So then the question is asked; what is the best way to implement a NAS Gateway? This question has a variety of answers, all depending on the balance of cost, effort, and support. I will go through a few options, and try to point out the differences. First, I would like to present a diagram that represents the configuration we’re discussing. There is a corporate Fibre Channel SAN with servers attached to storage and a tape library. Also attached to this SAN is the NAS Gateway, which offers up NAS storage to other servers over the corporate network. All options below could generally fall under this same configuration.

INFORMATION - Question of the WEEK - Upgrading my DS4800

Question of the week:

I’m upgrading my DS4800 to the latest version of firmware this weekend. I just downloaded the 10.30 storage manager to start upgrading the servers first, and noticed that the scripts for enabling and disabling array migration were not included in the scripts directory. All the other scripts are still there. I know we’re planning on adding more storage, so what should I do? Should I save them from the 10.10 StorageManager package, where I know they were included, or is there new ones being generated?

Answer of the week:

The functionality of the controller firmware has changed between the 6.x release and the 7.x release. The enabledrivemigration and disabledrivemigration scripts are no longer necessary with firmware version 7.x. In the 6.x and earlier firmware, the drives would be incorporated on insertion. This meant that the license information and array definitions would automatically be incorporated. If you didn’t want the old information, and didn’t disable the migration feature, there would be extra clean-up steps, and other maintenance would need to be performed. With the 7.x code, none of the licenses or other information in incorporated. Only the array and logical drive definitions/data are migrated. If you don’t want to migrate the data, then simply do not import the array set (initialize the drive instead).

The scripts were included in earlier releases of the storage manager because they were often used for older versions of the DS4000 systems that cannot be upgraded to 7.x firmware (DS4500/DS4300/etc). Those systems would still require the scripts to smoothen the process of adding capacity to the storage subsystem (especially since the drives may be previously deployed).

PART NUMBER LOOKUP

INFORMATION - IBM BladeCenter Information Center

Introducing the information center

The Systems Information Center provides a broad and integrated view of the product information for IBM systems products. In the past, you had to know where to find the information about which product feature. If you looked in the wrong location, you didn't find an answer. The Systems Information Center simplifies your search by integrating information about many systems products into a single portal -- a major step toward a one-stop shop for explanations about how to use IBM products and solutions.

Features of the information center include:

· Narrowing a search:

If your initial search finds too much information, you can narrow the search by picking subjects of interest -- the hardware platform, operating system, software application, type of task, and so on. The information center displays the subset of articles matching the search that are about the combination of subjects.

· Searching alternatives:

If a narrowed search does not match any information, the information center lets you know which subjects to deselect to get results.

· Setting filtering preferences:

You can set filtering preferences if you are always interested in some subjects to the exclusion of other subjects. For instance, if you are interested exclusively in AIX and System p, you can hide the i5/OS, Linux, and System i content when you view or search information. To filter the information, you sign in to the information center using your usual IBM account, select the Preferences link, and choose the subjects that you want to see. Thereafter, whenever you sign in, the information center hides the information about the subjects that you don't want to see. You can toggle off filtering at any time, however, to broaden your view and search to the full product information.

· Searching other resources:

While searching the product information in the information center, you can run the same search on the Redbooks or Service and Support sites to look for other available information. Pick the appropriate link next to the search box, and the information center runs the same query on the other resource.

· Annotating:

You can expand our information by adding your own notes -- for instance, recording additional tips for performing tasks in your environment. Because you sign in before creating notes, no one else can see your notes.

Click the links in the navigation pane to see specific details about these functions and features.

We expect to continue to improve the Systems Information Center by integrating the information about more products and solutions and continuing to improve search to make it easier for you to find answers and keep productive and successful.
