Rack relocation (19" rack)

CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building: v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not known, you must do the following: Remove all devices in the 32U position and above. Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet below the 32U level. If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet from the suite. Inspect the route that you plan to take when moving the rack to eliminate potential hazards. Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that came with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet. Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2030 mm (30 x 80 in.). Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure. Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position. Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement. Do not use a ramp inclined at more than ten degrees. Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following: - Lower the four leveling pads. - Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. - If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position. If a long distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet. For additional information, see the documentation for your rack cabinet.

Relocating the rack

The following safety notices apply to the procedures in this section. CAUTION: Make sure that you do the following: v Before you add or remove drawers, always have the leveling feet lowered and the front and rear stabilizer installed, or have the rack bolted to the floor. v Always install drawers at the bottom of the rack first. v Always remove drawers from the top of the rack first. v Always install the heaviest drawers on the bottom of the rack. v Remove two or three drawers from the top of the rack before you relocate it. v Never push on the sides of the rack. Attention: If the rack has equipment located above EIA location 32, you must remove the equipment in position 32 and above from the rack before you move it. Always remove the equipment from the top of the rack first. Complete the following steps before you relocate a rack: 1. Turn off all power to the rack and the system that is installed. 2. Disconnect all power cables. 3. Make sure that the rack is either bolted down or has the stabilizers installed before continuing this procedure. 4. Before removing any drawers from the rack, ensure that the battery LEDs on the controller units are NOT blinking. A blinking LED indicates that the batteries are in use. To ensure that the batteries do not discharge during the relocation process, remove and reseat the battery packs before removing the drawer. Complete the following steps to relocate the rack: 1. Unbolt the rack from the floor or remove the stabilizers. 2. Raise all the leveling feet. 3. Unlock each caster wheel by loosening the screw on the caster. 4. Move the rack to the new position. 5. Reposition the rack. For additional information, see the documentation for your rack cabinet.
Fire suppression systems

A fire suppression system is the responsibility of the customer. The customer's own insurance underwriter, local fire marshal, or a local building inspector, or both, should be consulted in selecting a fire suppression system that provides the correct level of coverage and protection. IBM designs and manufactures equipment to internal and external standards that require certain environments for reliable operation. Because IBM does not test any equipment for compatibility with fire suppression systems, IBM does not make compatibility claims of any kind nor does IBM provide recommendations on fire suppression systems.

Chapter 1. Planning for the IBM N series storage system

Successful installation of the IBM System Storage N series storage system requires careful planning. You are the most valuable resource in site planning because you have the most detailed understanding of how the N series storage system and devices attached to it will be used. Site preparation is the responsibility of the customer and this document will provide basic information required to do this preparation. You may want to also enlist the help of your Field Technical Support Specialist, marketing representative, or other support personnel. Your marketing representative is available to ensure that the hardware and software that you have chosen will meet your needs. Planning for the IBM N series storage system consists of these main tasks: 1. Understanding the features and functions of the N series storage system and selecting the proper feature codes (FCs) for your business as described in Chapter 2, IBM N series hardware features, on page 9 and Chapter 3, IBM N series storage system software features, on page 103. 2. Planning for the physical environment where the equipment will operate. This planning step includes the physical space, electrical, temperature, humidity, altitude, air flow, service clearance, and similar requirements as described in Chapter 4, Site planning, on page 125. 3. Planning for cabling depends on the adapter feature codes (FCs) selected as described in Chapter 5, Cable planning, on page 183. 4. If required, planning for a dual-node (active/active or high availability) configuration for as described in High availability or active/active configurations on page 7. 5. Planning for reporting error information to IBM as described in Chapter 6, AutoSupport, on page 187. This chapter also introduces the following topics: v IBM N series storage systems and storage expansion units v Storage expansion unit support on page 2 v Data ONTAP on page 5 v v v v Write Anywhere File Layout (WAFL) on page 6 Interoperability on page 6 Adapter support on page 6 High availability or active/active configurations on page 7

Storage expansion unit support

The following N series disk storage expansion units are specifically designed for IBM N series systems: v v v v v IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM unit EXN4000 EXN3000 EXN3500 EXN2000 EXN1000 Fibre Channel (FC) disk storage expansion unit SAS and SATA disk storage expansion unit SAS disk storage expansion unit Fibre Channel disk storage expansion unit serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) storage expansion
Multiple EXN1000s, each having different SATA disk drive feature codes, may be attached to the same N series system on the same Fibre Channel loop. Multiple EXN2000s and EXN4000s, each having different Fibre Channel disk drive feature codes, may be attached to the same N series system on the same Fibre Channel loop. Within an EXN3000, SAS and SATA drives cannot be intermixed; the EXN3000 is either a SAS storage controller or a SATA storage controller. For detailed information about the important differences between EXN3000s and EXN3500s and EXN1000/2000/4000 storage expansion units, see the IBM System Storage N series Universal SAS and ACP Cabling Guide.
For the latest N series storage expansion unit support information, visit the IBM N series support website, which is accessed and navigated as described in Websites on page xxiv. Starting with Data ONTAP 7.3, gateway expands its support matrix to include storage for native disk shelves and native disks. Gateways can now virtualize storage from both third-party storage array venders and native disk shelves. The Data ONTAP software provides a unified storage software platform that simplifies managing both native disk shelves and LUNs on storage arrays. You can add storage when and where you need it, without disruption. See the Gateway Implementation Guide for Native Disk Shelves for additional information about this feature.
Intermixing EXN units

EXN4000s and EXN2000s are both Fibre Channel disk storage expansion units. EXN4000 and EXN2000 storage expansion units can be mixed within the same loop, but the speed switches on all EXN4000s and EXN2000s must be set to the same speed (either 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps). Intermixing Fibre Channel and SATA disk drives in a supported N series system configuration is supported as follows: v Intermixing Fibre Channel disk storage expansion units with SATA disk storage expansion units on the same loop is not supported. v EXN4000s or EXN2000s (Fibre Channel disk drives) and EXN1000s (SATA disk drives) may be attached to the same N series system only if the Fibre Channel disk storage expansion units (EXN4000s or EXN2000s) are on separate loops than the SATA disk storage expansion units (EXN1000s). Note: Intermixing Fibre Channel and SATA disk drives in an N3700 configuration is not supported. IBM N series systems with Data ONTAP 7.3.2 or higher that support SAS HBAs also support stacks of EXN3000s as well as Fibre Channel loops of EXN1000s, EXN2000s, and EXN4000s. A single EXN3000 storage expansion unit must contain only SAS disk drives or only SATA disk drives. However, a stack of EXN3000 storage expansion units can contain storage expansion units with SAS disk drives and storage expansion units with SATA disk drives. IBM N series systems with Data ONTAP 7.3.3.P2 or higher (except N3400 and N3600 storage systems, which require Data ONTAP 7.3.4 or higher) that support SAS HBAs also support stacks of EXN3500s as well as Fibre Channel loops of EXN1000s, EXN2000s, and EXN4000s. On IBM N series systems that support SAS HBAs, EXN3000s and EXN3500s are supported within the same system configuration, but they cannot be connected in the same SAS stack. A single SAS stack must contain only EXN3000s or EXN3500s.
Connecting storage expansion units to N series systems

This section describes the requirements for connecting a storage expansion unit to N series systems and other storage expansion units. For detailed instructions about how to install and connect one or more storage expansion units in a rack, or to connect a storage expansion unit to your filer storage system, see the Installation and Setup Instructions and the Hardware and Service Guide for your N series controllers and storage expansion units.
v For connections to EXN1000/2000/4000 storage expansion units, IBM strongly recommends using optical (Fibre Channel) cabling whenever possible. v See Chapter 2, IBM N series hardware features, on page 9 for details about the maximum number of drive loops, maximum number of storage expansion units or hard disk drives per loop, maximum total storage capacity, and maximum total number of hard disk drives for configurations using your N series system. v Multipath looping is recommended for all configurations to provide additional redundancy. This includes single or dual controller and single or multiple storage expansion units. v Do not mix Fibre Channel EXN2000s/EXN4000s and SATA EXN1000 storage expansion units in the same loop. v EXN4000 and EXN2000 storage expansion units can be mixed within the same loop, but the speed switches on all EXN4000s and EXN2000s must be set to the same speed (either 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps). v For detailed information about the important differences between EXN3000 and EXN3500 and EXN1000/2000/4000 storage expansion units, see the IBM System Storage N series Universal SAS and ACP Cabling Guide. v For detailed information about the FC/SAS Atto Bridges, see the ATTO FibreBridge 6500N Installation and Operation Manual. Note: One optical cable feature code order provides two cables. One SFP feature code order provides two SFPs.

Storage expansion unit cabling requirements

You must meet the cabling requirements discussed in the following sections when connecting the storage expansion unit to an N series system or to other storage expansion units. For the latest information on cabling requirements, see Installation and Setup Instructions and the Hardware and Service Guide for your storage system. Connecting the storage expansion unit to the N series system: For EXN1000, EXN2000, and EXN4000: When connecting EXN1000, EXN2000, and EXN4000 storage expansion units to an N series system, you must use appropriate cables and connectors according to the following guidelines. v For direct connections to N3700 storage systems with early CPU module designs: Use a NAS-to-EXP Fibre Channel copper cable (#2020 or 2022). For attachment to an N3700 Model A10, one NAS-to-EXP Fibre Channel copper cable is required. For attachment to an N3700 Model A20, two NAS-to-EXP Fibre Channel copper cables are required. v For direct connections to N3700 storage systems with current CPU module designs: Use an LC-to-LC Fibre Channel optical cable and two SFPs for attachment to an N3700 Model A10. Use two LC-to-LC Fibre Channel optical cables and four SFPs for attachment to an N3700 Model A20. v For direct connections to all other N series systems: Use LC-to-LC Fibre Channel optical cables and SFPs. Note: For information about the differences between early and late CPU module designs, see Understanding the differences between early and current N3700 CPU modules on page 21. For EXN3000 and EXN3500:
For information about cabling EXN3000s and EXN3500s, see the IBM System Storage N series Universal SAS and ACP Cabling Guide. Connecting the storage expansion unit to other storage expansion units: For EXN1000, EXN2000, and EXN4000: When connecting a storage expansion unit to other storage expansion units, IBM strongly recommends using two LC-to-LC Fibre Channel optical cables and four SFPs (two SFPs per LC-to-LC Fibre Channel optical cable). Note: SFP-to-SFP Fibre Channel copper cables may also be used for connections (to a maximum of three meters) between storage expansion units. You must order one cable feature code and two SFP feature codes per storage expansion unit. For EXN3000 and EXN3500: Connections between EXN3000s are made using SAS and ACP cables. For information about cabling EXN3000s and EXN3500s, see the IBM System Storage N series Universal SAS and ACP Cabling Guide. | | For detailed information about the FC/SAS Atto Bridges, see the ATTO FibreBridge 6500N Installation and Operation Manual.
Connecting a gateway to external storage

You must use fiber optic cables to connect a gateway to external storage on a Fibre Channel SAN. See the Interoperability Matrix at the following web page for supported devices for your gateway system. www.ibm.com/systems/storage/network/interophome.html Refer to the documentation for your external storage for additional information.
Data ONTAP
N series storage systems are driven by the Data ONTAP operating system. Data ONTAP is a highly optimized, scalable, and flexible operating system that can handle mixed SAN and NAS environments. Data ONTAP delivers flexible management and high availability, ensures business continuance, and provides data permanence, thereby reducing storage management complexity in your enterprise. Data ONTAP software integrates seamlessly into UNIX, Windows, and web environments and provides the foundation to build your storage infrastructure and an enterprise-wide data fabric for mission-critical business applications. The operating system includes integrated secure access capabilities (SSL, SSH) and FilerView, a web-based element manager. The innovative Data ONTAP architecture delivers scalable performance and a flexible storage environment, that can be applied in many environments ranging from small workgroups to enterprise data centers. Data ONTAP stores and serves applications, consolidates data, and provides reliable data access throughout the enterprise. The Data ONTAP operating system simplifies management and
optimizes storage utilization by combining file-system technology and a microkernel design, enabling such features as flexible data management, scalability, and heterogeneous access.
Write Anywhere File Layout (WAFL)

The WAFL (Write Anywhere File Layout) file system contributes to a high level of data availability while providing dynamic and flexible data storage containers using Flexible Volume technology as well as data protection using integrated, nonvolatile RAM and a block-level checksum capability. The WAFL file system is designed specifically to work in an NFS appliance. The primary focus is on the algorithms and data structures that WAFL uses to implement Snapshots, which are read-only clones of the active file system. WAFL uses a copy-on-write technique to minimize the disk space that Snapshots consume.
Interoperability
The latest information on software and hardware interoperability can be accessed from the following web page: www.ibm.com/systems/storage/network/interophome.html
Adapter support
Most IBM System Storage N series controller models feature PCI adapter slots. Adapters must be added in pairs, one per node, to dual-controller models, so that both nodes are populated with the same number of each type of PCI adapters. There are no PCI adapter slots on the N3300, N3400, and N3700 systems. No additional adapter options are supported for the N3300, N3400, and N3700 systems. There is one available PCIe adapter slot per node on the N3600 storage system. The PCIe adapters supported by the N3600 are described in Appendix D, Optional adapter cards supported by the N3600, on page 209. There are three available PCI-X adapter slots per node on the N5200 and N5500 storage systems. (A10/G10 models have three available PCI-X adapter slots. A20/G20 models have six available PCI-X adapter slots.) The PCI-X adapters supported by the N5200 and N5500 storage systems are described in Appendix E, Optional adapter cards supported by N5200 and N5500 systems, on page 215. There are three available PCIe adapter slots per node on the N5300 and N5600 storage systems. (A10/G10 models have three available PCIe adapter slots. A20/G20 models have six available PCIe adapter slots.) The PCIe adapters supported by the N5300 and N5600 storage systems are described in Appendix F, Optional adapter cards supported by N5300 and N5600 systems, on page 223. There are five available PCIe adapter slots and three available PCI-X adapter slots per node on the N7700 and N7900 storage systems. (The sixth PCIe adapter slot on each N7700 or N7900 node is reserved for the NVRAM6 adapter and is not available for PCIe adapter card use). The PCIe and PCI-X adapters supported by the N7700 and N7900 storage systems are described in Appendix I, Optional adapter cards supported by N7000 series systems, on page 255.
There are three PCIe X8 expansion slots and one PCIe X4 expansion slot per node on the N6000 series storage systems. The PCIe adapters supported by the N6000 series storage systems are described in Appendix G, Optional adapter cards supported by N6000 series systems, on page 233. There are two PCIe expansion slots per controller node on the N6200 series storage systems. N6240 and N6270 Exx models also include one I/O expansion module per controller node; each I/O expansion module provides four additional PCIe slots. Note: The I/O expansion module is not available on N6210 Cxx models. The PCIe adapters supported by the N6200 series storage systems are described in Appendix H, Optional adapter cards supported by N6200 series systems, on page 245. There are two available vertical expansion slots and four PCIe expansion slots per controller node on the N7x50T storage systems. The N7x50T also includes one I/O expansion module per controller node; each I/O expansion module provides two additional vertical slots and eight PCIe slots, which means a total of 4 available vertical slots and twelve PCIe slots for adapter expansion per node. One vertical slot per controller is occupied by the NVRAM card and the other three vertical slots are reserved for features 1079 and 1080. Any and all adapter cards (hardware features) added to an N7950T configuration must be added in equal numbers to the two nodes of the N7950T. The two nodes must be identically configured. The PCIe adapters supported by the N7x50T storage systems are described in Appendix J, Optional adapter cards supported by N7x50T series systems, on page 269.
High availability or active/active configurations

Before beginning hardware planning, decide if the higher availability obtained by clustering two N series storage system nodes is needed. These higher availability configurations are referred to as HA (high availability) pairs in Data ONTAP 8.x 7-Mode, as active/active configurations in Data ONTAP 7.2 and 7.3, and as clustered configurations in Data ONTAP 7.1. An HA pair (or active/active configuration) consists of two storage systems (nodes) whose controllers are connected to each other either directly or, in the case of a fabric-attached MetroCluster, through switches and FC-VI interconnect adapters. You can configure the HA pair so that each node in the pair shares access to a common set of storage, subnets, and tape drives, or each node can own its own distinct set of storage. The nodes are connected to each other through a NVRAM adapter, or, in the case of systems with two controllers in a single chassis, through an internal interconnect. This allows one node to serve data that resides on the disks of its failed partner node. Each node continually monitors its partner, mirroring the data for each others nonvolatile memory (NVRAM or NVMEM). Two N series storage system nodes can be clustered together for higher availability using the Cluster Failover (CFO) software feature. Active/active or high availability configuration IBM N5000 and N7000 series models contain two nodes, with each node contained in a different enclosure. Both nodes must be the same N series model. The two nodes are clustered through an
Infiniband (IB) cluster cable that is attached to the NVRAM5 adapter (for N5200 and N5500 models) or NVRAM6 adapter (for N5300, N5600 and N7000 series models), which allows one node to serve data to the disks of its failed partner node. Active/active or high availability configuration IBM N3300, N3400, N3600, N3700, and N6000 series systems all contain both clustered (active/active or high availability) nodes in the same enclosure. IBM N6200 series HA models that do not include Input/Output expansion modules contain both nodes in the same enclosure. Dual-controller IBM N6200 series models that do include Input/Output expansion modules contain controller nodes in separate enclosures. IBM N7x50T has one model only (N7950T Model E22). It is a dual node, dual enclosure system. It has one controller module and one Input/Output expansion module in each enclosure. Configuring storage systems in an HA pair (or active/active configuration) provides the following benefits: v Fault tolerance When one node fails or becomes impaired, a takeover occurs, and the partner node continues to serve the failed nodes data. v Nondisruptive software upgrades When you halt one node and allow takeover, the partner node continues to serve data for the halted node while you upgrade the node you halted. For more information about nondisruptive upgrades, see the Data ONTAP Upgrade Guide or Upgrade and Revert/Downgrade Guide for your version of Data ONTAP. v Nondisruptive storage system and disk maintenance When you halt one node and allow takeover, the partner node continues to serve data for the halted node while you replace or repair hardware in the node you halted.

Disk drive types include 72 GB (10,000 or 15,000 RPM), 144 GB (10,000 or 15,000 RPM), and 300 GB (10,000 RPM). Within any single N3700, all disk drives must be of the same type. Note: Any N3700 drive bays that do not contain hard disk drives must be populated with drive blank covers (feature 4099) covering the remaining drive bays. The N3700 load board feature enables the N3700 (A10 and A20) to operate in a SATA-only storage environment. If the N3700 load board is ordered, the N3700 is ordered with no Fibre Channel hard drives and only EXN1000s (SATA drives) are attached to the storage controller. For more information about the N3700 load board, see Connecting storage expansion units to the N3700 on page 22. Attention: If your N3700 storage system shipped with load boards, exactly two N3700 load boards (FC 4020) and 12 HDD blank fillers (FC 4099) are installed in the system. The two load boards must be installed in bays 0 and 1. For details about your system's configuration limits for Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, and iSCSI, see the IBM System Storage N series Fibre Channel and iSCSI Configuration Guide for your version of Data ONTAP.
Understanding the differences between early and current N3700 CPU modules
N3700 storage systems with system serial numbers between 13-00001 and 13-01000 shipped with an early CPU module design. (In general, these are N3700 systems that shipped prior to January 31, 2006.) Current N3700 systems (with system serial numbers 13-01001 and higher) ship with the current CPU module design, which uses different Fibre Channel connectors. (In general, these are N3700 systems that shipped after January 31, 2006.) Regardless of the CPU module design, all N3700 storage systems offer the same functionality. Field repairs or upgrades may use the current CPU module design on any N3700 system. The early CPU module is easily distinguished from the current CPU module design by the rear port labeling, shown in Figure 2. The early CPU module uses an integrated SFP for Fibre Channel Port C (used for third-party devices), and it uses a special HSS connector for Fibre Channel Port B to connect the N3700 to storage expansion units.
Figure 2. Port labeling for early N3700 CPU module designs
The current CPU module design uses pluggable SFP connections for both Fibre Channel ports. The current CPU module labeling is shown in Figure 3 on page 22. The SFP required for connections to the Fibre Channel Port C (used for third-party devices) is included with all N3700s that ship with the current CPU module
21
design. For Port B (used for connections to storage expansion units), an SFP is required only for connections using optical cables (recommended). The SFP for Port B is shipped with the cables ordered with your storage expansion unit.
Figure 3. Port labeling for current N3700 CPU module designs
Attention: Depending on the design of your N3700 CPU module, direct connections to storage expansion units must be made with either Fibre Channel copper cables or Fibre Channel optical cables, as described in the following bullets: v For direct connections to N3700 early CPU module designs: Use NAS-to-EXP Fibre Channel copper cables (FC 2020 or 2022). For attachment to an N3700 Model A10, one NAS-to-EXP Fibre Channel copper cable is required. For attachment to an N3700 Model A20, two NAS-to-EXP Fibre Channel copper cables are required. v For direct connections to N3700 current CPU module designs: Use an LC-to-LC Fibre Channel optical cable and two SFPs for attachment to an N3700 Model A10. Use two LC-to-LC Fibre Channel optical cables and four SFPs for attachment to an N3700 Model A20.

Physical capacity of the N3700 can be scaled up to 16.8 TB with the attachment of up to three IBM System Storage N series EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000 storage expansion units. An N3700 storage system configuration supports a maximum of 56 disk drives (including the possible fourteen disk drives in the N3700). The maximum raw physical storage capacity of 16.8 TB includes the capacity of any internal drives in the N3700. Note: The N3700 does not support attachment of EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units. v EXN4000 storage expansion units can be configured with as few as four disk drives, up to a maximum of 14, Fibre Channel disk drives of 144 GB, 300 GB, 450 GB or 600 GB physical capacity. v EXN2000 storage expansion units can be configured with as few as four disk drives, up to a maximum of 14, Fibre Channel disk drives of 72 GB, 144 GB, 300 GB, 450 GB or 600 GB physical capacity. v EXN1000 storage expansion units can be configured with a minimum of five, up to a maximum of 14, SATA disk drives of the same capacity. SATA disk drives are available in 250 GB, 320 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB, and 1 TB capacities. Note: Any storage expansion unit drive bays that do not contain hard disk drives must be populated with drive blank covers (feature 4099) covering the remaining drive bays.
22
The N3700 does not support the attachment of mixed storage expansion unit types. All storage expansion units connected to a single N3700 must be either EXN4000s, EXN2000s or EXN1000s. Attention: Depending on the CPU module design of your N3700 storage system, direct connections to storage expansion units must be made with either Fibre Channel copper cables or Fibre Channel optical cables, as described in Understanding the differences between early and current N3700 CPU modules on page 21. If you are attaching EXN1000 SATA storage expansion units to the N3700, the N3700 base unit must either: v have the minimum number of Fibre Channel disk drives installed (four for a Model A10 and eight for a Model A20); or v have two N3700 load boards (FC 4020) and 12 HDD blank fillers (FC 4099) In the case where the objective is to have as much low cost SATA storage as possible, the N3700 can be configured with no Fibre Channel disk drives. In order to configure the N3700 system (the base unit and storage expansion units) with no Fibre Channel disk drives, you must order two HDD load boards (FC 4020) and 12 HDD blank fillers (FC 4099).

N5200 filer hardware features

The IBM System Storage N5200 filers consist of the Model A10 and Model A20, and associated software. The N5200 filers are designed to interoperate with products capable of data transmission in the industry-standard iSCSI, CIFS, FCP and NFS protocols. These include the IBM Eserver System p, System i (NFS only), System x and System z (NFS only) servers. Details and current information on N5200 interoperability is available at: www.ibm.com/systems/storage/network/interophome.html For details about your system's configuration limits for Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, and iSCSI, see the IBM System Storage N series Fibre Channel and iSCSI Configuration Guide for your version of Data ONTAP.
N5200 A10
The N5200 Model A10 is designed to provide a single node filer with NFS, CIFS, FCP and iSCSI support in a 3U filer mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The N5200 Model A10 does not include storage in the base chassis. The base chassis includes: v One Intel 2.8 GHz Xeon processor v 2 GB of ECC memory v 512 MB of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) v Four integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports v Four integrated 2-Gbps Fibre Channel ports that can be configured as targets or initiators v Redundant hot-plug integrated power supplies with fans v Redundant cooling fans v Three PCI-X expansion slots for additional Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) or Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs) v Front LCD message display For the N5200 Model A10, the maximum number of all additional PCI-X adapters is three. Note: The PCI-X adapters supported by the N5200 and N5500 storage systems are described in Appendix E, Optional adapter cards supported by N5200 and N5500 systems, on page 215. The Model A10 can have a maximum of four dual-path (redundant) Fibre Channel storage loops for attaching storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, and EXN4000). On the Model A10, in order to have the maximum number of dual-path Fibre Channel storage loops, two additional dual-port Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (FC 1004) are needed. The four onboard 2-Gbps Fibre Channel ports can be configured as either FCP Initiators for attaching disk storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) or as FCP targets for attaching to Fibre Channel application hosts (attached either directly or through a Fibre Channel SAN). If some of the onboard Fibre Channel ports are configured as FCP targets, then more than two dual-port Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment
24
(FC 1004) are required to reach the maximum of four dual-path Fibre Channel storage loops for disk storage expansion units. The Model A10 can be upgraded to a maximum of ten 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports via the addition of three optional dual-port fiber Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface cards (NICs) (feature number 1003) or 16 10/100/100 Ethernet ports via the addition of three optional quad-port copper Gigabit Ethernet NICs (feature number 1007). The Model A10 may be upgraded to a Model A20. The upgrade from a Model A10 to a Model A20 is a disruptive upgrade.
N5200 A20
The N5200 Model A20 is designed to provide identical function as the N5200 Model A10, but with the addition of a second processing node and the Clustered Failover (CFO) software feature. The Model A20 consists of two processing nodes that are designed to provide failover and failback function, helping improve overall availability. For the Model A20, each processing node is a 3U rack-mountable filer. Therefore, the Model A20 occupies a total of 6U of rack space. The N5200 Model A20 includes: v Two Intel 2.8 GHz Xeon processors, one per node v 4 GB of ECC memory, 2 GB per node v 1 GB of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM), 512 MB per node v Eight integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, four per node v Eight integrated 2-Gbps Fibre Channel ports, four per node, that can be configured as targets or initiators v Four redundant hot-plug integrated power supplies with fans, two per node v Redundant cooling fans v Six PCI-X expansion slots for additional Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) or Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs), three per node (always ordered and installed in pairs) v Infiniband (IB) cluster cable, which attaches to the NVRAM5 adapter, between the two processing N5000 nodes v Front LCD message display For the N5200 Model A20, the maximum number of all additional PCI-X adapters is six. Note: The PCI-X adapters supported by the N5200 and N5500 storage systems are described in Appendix E, Optional adapter cards supported by N5200 and N5500 systems, on page 215. The Model A20 can have a maximum of eight dual-path (redundant) Fibre Channel storage loops for attaching storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, and EXN4000). On the Model A20, in order to have the maximum number of dual-path Fibre Channel storage loops, four additional dual-port Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (FC 1004), two per node, are needed. The onboard 2-Gbps Fibre Channel ports can be configured as either FCP Initiators for attaching disk storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) or as FCP targets for attaching to Fibre Channel application hosts (attached either directly or through a Fibre Channel SAN). If some of the onboard Fibre Channel ports are configured as FCP targets, then more than four dual-port Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment
25
(FC 1004) are required to reach the maximum of eight dual-path Fibre Channel storage loops for disk storage expansion units. The N5200 Model A20 can be upgraded to a maximum of 20 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports via the addition of six optional dual-port fiber Gigabit Ethernet NICs (feature number 1003) or 32 10/100/100 Ethernet ports via the addition of six optional quad-port copper Gigabit Ethernet NICs (feature number 1007). The physical proximity of the two processing nodes within a Model A20 (with respect to each other) is determined by which Infiniband cluster interconnect cables are ordered (feature numbers 1037, 1040 and 1041). Optical cables (feature numbers 1040 and 1041) also require feature number 1042.
Connecting storage expansion units to the N5200 filer

The N5200 filer Models A10 and A20 require at least one storage expansion unit per node, either an EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000. Note: The N5200 does not support attachment of EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units. Within a single EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000 storage expansion unit, all disk drives must be of a particular type (rotational speed/capacity). Although the original order for storage expansion units may contain storage expansion units with no more than two different types (rotational speed/capacity) of disk drives, later upgrades to add additional storage expansion units do not have to meet this requirement. Table 12 describes the maximum supported total physical storage capacity for both the N5200.

The maximum raw storage capacity of the N5200 system is determined by the maximum number of disk drives supported (168) and a maximum physical storage limit of 168 TB. Both limits must be honored.
EXN1000 SATA storage expansion units and EXN2000/EXN4000 Fibre Channel storage expansion units must not share Fibre Channel loops. A maximum of six storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) are supported on a single Fibre Channel loop. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is supported for the N5200 filer. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is designed to improve reliability, availability and serviceability of the storage expansion units attached to the storage controller by creating two redundant paths from each storage controller to each loop of the storage expansion units. For more information about using dual-path Fibre Channel cabling, see the Installation and Setup Instructions that came with your system.

N5300 A10
The N5300 Model A10 is designed to provide a single-node filer with NFS, CIFS, FCP, and iSCSI support in a 3U filer mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The N5300 Model A10 does not include disk storage in the base chassis. This base chassis includes: v v v v v v v v v v v Two 2.4 GHz 64-bit processors 4 GB of ECC memory 512 MB of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) Four integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports Four integrated 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports that can be configured as targets or initiators Redundant hot-plug integrated power supplies with fans Redundant cooling fans Three PCI-Express (PCIe) expansion slots for additional Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) or Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs) One integrated Remote LAN Management (RLM) port One serial console port Front LCD message display
All the adapter card slots of the N5300 are PCI-Express (PCIe) slots. For the N5300 Model A10, the maximum number of all additional PCIe adapters is three. A fourth expansion slot is used for the standard (included with the N5300) 512 MB NVRAM adapter card. Note: The PCIe adapters supported by the N5300 storage system are described in Appendix F, Optional adapter cards supported by N5300 and N5600 systems, on page 223. The Model A10 can be upgraded to a maximum of five dual-path Fibre Channel loops (10 Fibre Channel ports) via the addition of three optional Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (feature number 1014). The five loops will support a maximum of 252 total disk drives. The Model A10 can be up upgraded to a maximum of 16 gigabit Ethernet ports via the addition of three optional quad-port copper NICs (feature number 1023).
31
The Model A10 may be upgraded to an N5300 Model A20. The upgrade from a Model A10 to a Model A20 is a disruptive upgrade. Note: It is not possible to upgrade an N5200 or N5500 storage system to an N5300 storage system.
N5300 A20
The N5300 Model A20 is designed to provide identical function as the Model A10, but with the addition of a second processing node and the Clustered Failover (CFO) software feature. The Model A20 consists of two processing nodes that are designed to provide takeover and failback function, helping improve overall availability.

The Model A20 can be upgraded to a maximum of ten dual-path Fibre Channel loops (20 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports) via the addition of six optional Fibre Channel HBA for Disk Attachments (feature number 1014). The ten loops will support a maximum of 252 total disk drives. The Model A20 can be upgraded to a maximum of 32 Gigabit Ethernet ports via the addition of six optional quad-port copper gigabit Ethernet NICs (feature number 1023). The physical proximity of the two processing nodes within a Model A20 (with respect to each other) is determined by which Infiniband cluster interconnect cables are ordered (feature numbers 1037, 1040 and 1041). Optical cables (feature numbers 1040 and 1041) also require feature number 1042.
32

Both N5300 filer models require the addition of at least one N series storage expansion unit. Within a single N series storage expansion unit, all disk drives must be of a particular type (rotational speed/capacity). Although the original order for storage expansion units may contain storage expansion units with no more than two different types (rotational speed/capacity) of disk drives, later upgrades to add additional storage expansion units do not have to meet this requirement. Table 17 describes the maximum supported total physical storage capacity for the N5300.

The maximum raw storage capacity of the N5300 is determined by the maximum number of disk drives supported (336) and a maximum physical storage limit of 336 TB in systems running Data ONTAP 7.3.x or 672 TB in systems running Data ONTAP 8.0.x 7-Mode. Both limits must be honored.
EXN1000 SATA storage expansion units and EXN2000/EXN4000 Fibre Channel storage expansion units must not share Fibre Channel loops. A maximum of six storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) are supported on a single Fibre Channel loop. A SAS stack can contain a maximum of ten EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units. The maximum number of supported SAS stacks and total SAS storage expansion units depends upon the storage controller configuration. EXN3000s and EXN3500s are supported within the same system configuration, but they cannot be connected in the same SAS stack. A single SAS stack must contain only EXN3000s or EXN3500s. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is supported for the N5300 filer. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is designed to improve reliability, availability and serviceability of the storage expansion units attached to the storage controller by creating two redundant paths from each storage controller to each loop of the storage expansion units. For more information about using dual-path Fibre Channel cabling, see the Installation and Setup Instructions that came with your system.

The following table lists the feature codes for N5300 cables and connectors. For a list of the HBA feature codes supported for the N5300, see Appendix F, Optional adapter cards supported by N5300 and N5600 systems, on page 223.

The IBM System Storage N5300 gateways consist of the Model G10 and Model G20, and associated software. The Model G10 is designed to provide a single node gateway with NFS, CIFS, FCP and iSCSI support in a 3U gateway mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The Model G20 provides an active/active (or high availability) dual-node base unit. The N5300 gateways are designed to interoperate with products capable of data transmission in the industry-standard iSCSI, CIFS, FCP and NFS protocols. These include the IBM Eserver System p, System i (NFS only), System x and System z (NFS only) servers. Details and current information on N5300 gateway interoperability is available at: www.ibm.com/systems/storage/network/interophome.html Mixed disk/LUN support is available on N series gateway systems. This support requires Data ONTAP 7.3 or higher and enables the use of both third-party disks and N series storage expansion units on N series gateways. This support also enables SnapLock Compliance, LockVault Compliance, and Disk Sanitization on gateways when used with IBM N series storage only. These features are not supported on third-party storage devices. For details about your system's configuration limits for Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, and iSCSI, refer to the IBM System Storage N series Fibre Channel and iSCSI Configuration Guide for your version of Data ONTAP.

N5300 Model G10

The N5300 Model G10 gateway does not include storage in the base chassis. The base chassis includes: v Two AMD 2.4 GHz 64-bit Opteron processors (per node), each with 1 MB of level 2 cache v Four GB random access ECC memory v Up to five backend Fibre Channel loops per node v 512 MB of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) v 252 logical unit numbers (LUNs) support for both Model G10 and Model G20 v Four integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports (ten with the addition of expansion HBA features) v Four integrated 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports that can be configured as targets or initiators v Redundant hot-plug integrated power supplies with fans v Redundant cooling fans v Three PCI-Express (PCIe) expansion slots for additional Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) or Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs) v Front LCD message display All the adapter card slots of the N5300 are PCI-Express (PCIe) slots. For the N5300 Model G10, the maximum number of all additional PCIe adapters is three. Note: The PCIe adapters supported by the N5300 and N5600 storage systems are described in Appendix F, Optional adapter cards supported by N5300 and N5600 systems, on page 223. The Model G10 may be upgraded to a Model G20. The upgrade from a Model G10 to a Model G20 is a disruptive upgrade.
N5300 Model G20

The N5300 Model G20 is designed to provide identical function as the N5300 Model G10, but with the addition of a second processing node and the Clustered Failover (CFO) software feature. The Model G20 consists of two processing nodes that are designed to provide failover and failback function, helping improve overall availability. For the Model G20, each processing node is a 3U rack-mountable gateway. Therefore, the Model G20 occupies a total of 6U of rack space. The N5300 Model G20 includes: v Four AMD 2.4 GHz 64-bit Opteron processors (per node), each with 1 MB of level 2 cache v Eight GB random access ECC memory v Up to ten backend Fibre Channel loops v 1 GB of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) v 252 logical unit numbers (LUNs) support for both Model G10 and Model G20 v Four integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports (ten with the addition of expansion HBA features) v Four integrated 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports that can be configured as targets or initiators v Redundant hot-plug integrated power supplies with fans
36
v Redundant cooling fans v Six PCI-Express (PCIe) expansion slots for additional Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) or Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs), three per node (always ordered and installed in pairs) v Infiniband (IB) cluster cable, which attaches to the NVRAM6 adapter, between the two processing N5000 series nodes v Front LCD message display All the adapter card slots of the N5300 are PCI-Express (PCIe) slots. The maximum number of adapters that may be added to the N5300 Model G20 is six. When adapter cards are ordered for the Model G20 on the initial order, they must be ordered and added in pairs, one per node, so that both nodes are populated with the same number of each type of PCIe adapters. Note: The PCIe adapters supported by the N5300 and N5600 storage systems are described in Appendix F, Optional adapter cards supported by N5300 and N5600 systems, on page 223. The physical proximity of the two processing nodes within a Model G20 (with respect to each other) is determined by which Infiniband cluster interconnect cables are ordered (feature numbers 1037, 1040 and 1041). Optical cables (feature numbers 1040 and 1041) also require feature number 1042.

You must use fiber optic cables to connect a gateway to external storage on a Fibre Channel SAN.

Note: The PCI-X adapters supported by the N5200 and N5500 storage systems are described in Appendix E, Optional adapter cards supported by N5200 and N5500 systems, on page 215. The N5500 Model A10 can have a maximum of four dual-path (redundant) Fibre Channel storage loops for attaching storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, and EXN4000). On the Model A10, in order to have the maximum number of dual-path Fibre Channel storage loops, two additional dual-port Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (FC 1004) are needed. The onboard 2-Gbps Fibre Channel ports can be configured as either FCP Initiators for attaching disk storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) or as FCP targets for attaching to Fibre Channel application hosts (attached either directly or through a Fibre Channel SAN). If some of the onboard Fibre Channel ports are configured as FCP targets, then more than two dual-port Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (FC 1004) are required to reach the maximum of four dual-path Fibre Channel storage loops for disk storage expansion units. The N5500 Model A10 can be upgraded to a maximum of ten 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports via the addition of three optional dual-port fiber Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface cards (NICs) (feature number 1003) or 16 10/100/100 Ethernet ports via the addition of three optional quad-port copper Gigabit Ethernet NICs (feature number 1007). The Model A10 may be upgraded to an N5500 Model A20. The upgrade from a Model A10 to a Model A20 is a disruptive upgrade.
N5500 A20
The N5500 Model A20 is designed to provide identical function as the Model A10, but with the addition of a second processing node and the Clustered Failover (CFO) software feature. The N5500 Model A20 consists of two processing nodes that are designed to provide takeover and failback function, helping improve overall availability. For the Model A20, each processing node is a 3U rack-mountable filer. Therefore, the Model A20 occupies a total of 6U of rack space. Note: It is not possible to upgrade an N5200 storage system to an N5500 storage system. The N5500 Model A20 includes: v Four Intel 2.8 GHz Xeon processors, two per node v 8 GB of ECC memory, 4 GB per node v 1 GB of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM), 512 MB per node v Eight integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, four per node v Eight integrated 2-Gbps Fibre Channel ports, four per node, that can be configured as targets or initiators

Note: The PCI-X adapters supported by the N5200 and N5500 storage systems are described in Appendix E, Optional adapter cards supported by N5200 and N5500 systems, on page 215. The N5500 Model A20 can have a maximum of eight dual-path (redundant) Fibre Channel storage loops for attaching storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, and EXN4000). On the Model A20, in order to have the maximum number of dual-path Fibre Channel storage loops, four additional dual-port Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (FC 1004), two per node, are needed. The onboard 2-Gbps Fibre Channel ports can be configured as either FCP Initiators for attaching disk storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) or as FCP targets for attaching to Fibre Channel application hosts (attached either directly or through a Fibre Channel SAN). If some of the onboard Fibre Channel ports are configured as FCP targets, then more than four dual-port Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (FC 1004) are required to reach the maximum of eight dual-path Fibre Channel storage loops for disk storage expansion units. The N5500 Model A20 can be upgraded to a maximum of 20 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports via the addition of six optional dual-port fiber Gigabit Ethernet NICs (feature number 1003) or 32 10/100/100 Ethernet ports via the addition of six optional quad-port copper Gigabit Ethernet NICs (feature number 1007). The physical proximity of the two processing nodes within a Model A20 (with respect to each other) is determined by which Infiniband cluster interconnect cables are ordered (feature numbers 1037, 1040 and 1041). Optical cables (feature numbers 1040 and 1041) also require feature number 1042.

Both N5500 filer models require the addition of at least one storage expansion unit, either an EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000. Note: The N5500 does not support attachment of EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units. Within a single EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000 storage expansion unit, all disk drives must be of a particular type (rotational speed/capacity). Although the original order for storage expansion units may contain storage expansion units with no more than two different types (rotational speed/capacity) of disk drives, later upgrades to add additional storage expansion units do not have to meet this requirement.

The N5600 filers are designed to interoperate with products capable of data transmission in the industry-standard iSCSI, CIFS, FCP and NFS protocols. These include the IBM Eserver System p, System i (NFS only), System x and System z (NFS only) servers. Details and current information on N5600 interoperability is available at: www.ibm.com/systems/storage/network/interophome.html For details about your system's configuration limits for Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, and iSCSI, refer to the IBM System Storage N series Fibre Channel and iSCSI Configuration Guide for your version of Data ONTAP.
N5600 A10
The N5600 Model A10 is designed to provide a single-node filer with NFS, CIFS, FCP, and iSCSI support in a 3U filer mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The N5600 filer does not include disk storage in the base chassis. This base chassis includes: Two 1.8 GHz 64-bit processors 8 GB of DDR-400 ECC memory 512 MB of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) Four integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports Four integrated 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports that can be configured as targets or initiators v Redundant hot-plug integrated power supplies with fans v Redundant cooling fans v v v v v

v Three PCI-Express (PCIe) expansion slots for additional Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) or Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs) v One integrated Remote LAN Management (RLM) port v One serial console port v Front LCD message display For the N5600 Model A10, the maximum number of all additional PCIe adapters is three. A fourth expansion slot is used for the standard (included with the N5600) 512 MB NVRAM adapter card. Note: The PCIe adapters supported by the N5600 storage system are described in Appendix F, Optional adapter cards supported by N5300 and N5600 systems, on page 223. The N5600 Model A10 can be upgraded to a maximum of five dual-path Fibre Channel loops (10 Fibre Channel ports) via the addition of three optional Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (feature number 1014). The five loops will support a maximum of 420 total disk drives. The Model A10 can be up upgraded to a maximum of 16 gigabit Ethernet ports via the addition of three optional quad-port copper NICs (feature number 1023). The Model A10 may be upgraded to an N5600 Model A20. The upgrade from a Model A10 to a Model A20 is a disruptive upgrade. Note: It is not possible to upgrade an N5200 or N5500 storage system to an N5600 storage system.
N5600 A20
The N5600 Model A20 is designed to provide identical function as the Model A10, but with the addition of a second processing node and the Clustered Failover (CFO) software feature. The N5600 Model A20 consists of two processing nodes that are designed to provide takeover and failback function, helping improve overall availability. For the Model A20, each processing node is a 3U rack-mountable filer. Therefore, the Model A20 occupies a total of 6U of rack space. The N5600 Model A20 includes: v Four 1.8 GHz 64-bit processors v 16 GB of DDR-400 ECC memory v 1 GB (512 MB per node) of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) v Eight integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports v Eight integrated 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports that can be configured as targets or initiators v Redundant hot-plug integrated power supplies with fans v Redundant cooling fans v Six PCI-Express (PCIe) expansion slots for additional Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) or Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs) v Two integrated Remote LAN Management (RLM) ports v Two serial console ports v Front LCD message display

For the N5600 Model A20, the maximum number of all additional PCIe adapters is six. Note: The PCIe adapters supported by the N5600 storage system are described in Appendix F, Optional adapter cards supported by N5300 and N5600 systems, on page 223. The Model A20 can be upgraded to a maximum of ten dual-path Fibre Channel loops (20 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports) via the addition of six optional Fibre Channel HBA for Disk Attachments (feature number 1014). The Model A20 can be upgraded to a maximum of 32 Gigabit Ethernet ports via the addition of six optional quad-port copper gigabit Ethernet NICs (feature number 1023). The physical proximity of the two processing nodes within a Model A20 (with respect to each other) is determined by which Infiniband cluster interconnect cables are ordered (feature numbers 1037, 1040 and 1041). Optical cables (feature numbers 1040 and 1041) also require feature number 1042.

Both N5600 filer models require the addition of at least one N series storage expansion unit. Within a single N series storage expansion unit, all disk drives must be of a particular type (rotational speed/capacity). Although the original order for storage expansion units may contain storage expansion units with no more than two different types (rotational speed/capacity) of disk drives, later upgrades to add additional storage expansion units do not have to meet this requirement. The maximum raw storage capacity of the N5600 Model is determined by the maximum number of disk drives supported (504) and a maximum physical storage limit of 504 TB in systems running Data ONTAP 7.3.x or 1008 TB in systems running Data ONTAP 8.0.x 7-Mode. Both limits must be honored.

In a system with redundant cabling, the maximum raw storage capacity of the N5600 is determined by the maximum number of disk drives supported (504) and a maximum physical storage limit of 504 TB in systems running Data ONTAP 7.3.x or 1008 TB in systems running Data ONTAP 8.0.x 7-Mode. Both limits must be honored.
EXN1000 SATA storage expansion units and EXN2000/EXN4000 Fibre Channel storage expansion units must not share Fibre Channel loops. A maximum of six storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) are supported on a single Fibre Channel loop. A SAS stack can contain a maximum of ten EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units. The maximum number of supported SAS stacks and total EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units depends upon the storage controller configuration. EXN3000s and EXN3500s are supported within the same system configuration, but they cannot be connected in the same SAS stack. A single SAS stack must contain only EXN3000s or EXN3500s. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is supported for the N5600 filer. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is designed to improve reliability, availability and serviceability of the storage expansion units attached to the storage controller by creating two redundant paths from each storage controller to each loop of the storage expansion units. For more information about using dual-path Fibre Channel cabling, see the Installation and Setup Instructions that came with your system.

The IBM System Storage N5600 gateways consist of the Model G10 and Model G20, and associated software. The N5600 Model G10 is designed to provide a single node gateway with NFS, CIFS, FCP and iSCSI support in a 3U gateway mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The N5600 Model G20 provides an active/active (or high availability) dual-node base unit.
50
The N5600 gateways are designed to interoperate with products capable of data transmission in the industry-standard iSCSI, CIFS, FCP and NFS protocols. These include the IBM Eserver System p, System i (NFS only), System x and System z (NFS only) servers. The most current information on N5600 gateway interoperability is available at: www.ibm.com/systems/storage/network/interophome.html Mixed disk/LUN support is available on N series gateway systems. This support requires Data ONTAP 7.3 or higher and enables the use of both third-party disks and N series storage expansion units on N series gateways. This support also enables SnapLock Compliance, LockVault Compliance, and Disk Sanitization on gateways when used with N series storage only. These features are not be supported on third-party storage devices. For details about your system's configuration limits for Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, and iSCSI, refer to the IBM System Storage N series Fibre Channel and iSCSI Configuration Guide for your version of Data ONTAP.

The maximum raw storage capacity of the N6040 is determined by the maximum number of disk drives supported (420) and a maximum physical storage limit of 420 TB in systems running Data ONTAP 7.3.x or 1260 TB in systems running Data ONTAP 8.0.2 7-Mode or higher. Both limits must be honored.
EXN1000 SATA storage expansion units and EXN2000/EXN4000 Fibre Channel storage expansion units must not share Fibre Channel loops. A maximum of six storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) is supported on a single Fibre Channel loop. A SAS stack can contain a maximum of ten EXN3000 EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units. The maximum number of supported SAS stacks and total EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units depends upon the storage controller configuration. EXN3000s and EXN3500s are supported within the same system configuration, but they cannot be connected in the same SAS stack. A single SAS stack must contain only EXN3000s or EXN3500s. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is supported for the N6040 system. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is designed to improve reliability, availability and serviceability of the storage expansion units attached to the storage controller by creating two redundant paths from each storage controller to each loop of the storage expansion units. For more information about using dual-path Fibre Channel cabling, see the Installation and Setup Instructions that came with your system.

The maximum raw storage capacity of the N6060 is determined by the maximum number of disk drives supported (672) and a maximum physical storage limit of 672 TB in systems running Data ONTAP 7.3.x or 2016 TB in systems running Data ONTAP 8.0.2 7-Mode or higher. Both limits must be honored. 2 Storage systems using Solid-state disk (SSD) drives require at least one stack of rotating disk drives in addition to the SSD stack. For the disk shelf supporting SSD drives to function properly, a minimum of four SSD drives must be installed in the disk shelf.
EXN1000 SATA storage expansion units and EXN2000/EXN4000 Fibre Channel storage expansion units must not share Fibre Channel loops. A maximum of six storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) is supported on a single Fibre Channel loop. A SAS stack can contain a maximum of ten EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units. The maximum number of supported SAS stacks and total EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units depends upon the storage controller configuration. EXN3000s and EXN3500s are supported within the same system configuration, but they cannot be connected in the same SAS stack. A single SAS stack must contain only EXN3000s or EXN3500s. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is supported for the N6060 system. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is designed to improve reliability, availability and serviceability of the storage expansion units attached to the storage controller by creating two redundant paths from each storage controller to each loop of the storage expansion units. For more information about using dual-path Fibre Channel cabling, see the Installation and Setup Instructions that came with your system.

EXN1000 SATA storage expansion units must not share a Fibre Channel loop with EXN2000/EXN4000 Fibre Channel storage expansion units. A maximum of six storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) is supported on a single Fibre Channel loop. An SAS stack can contain a maximum of ten EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units. The maximum number of supported SAS stacks and total EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units depends upon the storage controller configuration. EXN3000s and EXN3500s are supported within the same system configuration, but they cannot be connected in the same SAS stack. A single SAS stack must contain only EXN3000s or EXN3500s. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is supported for N6210 systems. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is designed to improve reliability, availability and serviceability of
71
the storage expansion units attached to the storage controller by creating two redundant paths from each storage controller to each loop of the storage expansion units. For more information about using dual-path Fibre Channel cabling, see the Installation and Setup Instructions that came with your system.

The N7700 filer storage controllers consist of the Model A11 and Model A21 and associated software with gateway options. The IBM System Storage N7700 storage controllers are designed to interoperate with products capable of data transmission in the industry-standard iSCSI, CIFS, FCP and NFS protocols. These include the IBM Eserver System p, System i (NFS only), System x, and System z (NFS only) servers. See the Interoperability Matrix at the following web page for supported devices for your N7000 series filer system. www.ibm.com/systems/storage/network/interophome.html Mixed disk/LUN support is available on N series gateway systems. This support requires Data ONTAP 7.3 or higher and enables the use of both third-party disks and N series storage expansion units on N series gateways. This support also enables SnapLock Compliance, LockVault Compliance, and Disk Sanitization on gateways when used with IBM N series storage only. These features are not supported on third-party storage devices. For details about your system's configuration limits for Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, and iSCSI, refer to the IBM System Storage N series Fibre Channel and iSCSI Configuration Guide for your version of Data ONTAP.
N7700 A11
The N7700 Model A11 is designed to provide a single-node storage controller with iSCSI support, and NFS, CIFS, and FCP support via optional features. The N7700 is a 6U storage controller that must be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The N7700 storage controller does not include storage in the base chassis. The base chassis includes: v Two AMD 2.6 GHz 64-bit Opteron 252 processors, each with 1 MB of level 2 cache v 16 GB of DDR-333 memory v 512 MB of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) v Six integrated Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports v Eight integrated 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports
81
v Dual redundant hot-plug integrated power supplies and cooling fans v Three PCI-X expansion slots v Six PCIe expansion slots (Five PCIe slots are available for customer use. One PCIe slot is reserved for the NVRAM6 adapter.) v One serial console port For the N7700 Model A11, the maximum number of additional expansion adapters is eight (three PCI-X and five PCIe). One PCIe expansion slot is used for the standard (included with the N7700) 512 MB NVRAM adapter card. Note: The PCIe and PCI-X adapters supported by the N7700 and N7900 storage systems are described in Appendix I, Optional adapter cards supported by N7000 series systems, on page 255. The N7700 Model A11 can be upgraded to a maximum of 14 dual-path (loop A and loop B) Fibre Channel loops (28 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports) via the addition of four optional Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (feature numbers 1014, 1029, or 1035). The 14 loops will support a maximum of 840 total disk drives. The Model A11 can be upgraded to a maximum of 14 Gigabit Ethernet ports via the addition of two optional quad-port copper Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface cards (NICs) (feature number 1009). The Model A11 may be upgraded to a Model A21. The upgrade from a Model A11 to a Model A21 is a disruptive upgrade.
N7700 A21
The N7700 Model A21 is designed to provide identical function as the N7700 Model A11, but with the addition of a second processing node and the Clustered Failover (CFO) licensed function. The N7700 Model A21 supports a maximum of 840 drives (or LUNs, with the gateway option), 32 GB of DDR-333 memory, and ten backend Fibre Channel loops. The Model A21 consists of two nodes that are designed to provide failover and failback function, helping improve overall availability. For the Model A21, each node is a 6U rack-mountable storage controller. Therefore, the Model A21 occupies a total of 12U of rack space. The Model A21 includes: v Four AMD 2.6 GHz 64-bit Opteron 252 processors, each with 1 MB of level 2 cache v 32 GB of DDR-333 memory v 1 GB of NVRAM v 12 integrated Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports v 16 integrated 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports v Dual redundant hot-plug integrated power supplies and cooling fans v Six PCI-X expansion slots v 12 PCIe expansion slots (Ten PCIe slots are available for customer use. Two PCIe slots are reserved for NVRAM6 adapters.) v Two serial console ports For the N7700 Model A21, the maximum number of additional expansion adapters is 16 (six PCI-X and 10 PCIe). Two PCIe expansion slots are used for the standard (included with the N7700) 512 MB NVRAM adapter cards.
82
Note: The PCIe and PCI-X adapters supported by the N7700 and N7900 storage systems are described in Appendix I, Optional adapter cards supported by N7000 series systems, on page 255. The N7700 Model A21 can be upgraded to a maximum of 14 dual-path (loop A and loop B) Fibre Channel loops (28 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports) via the addition of two optional Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (feature number 1014, 1029, or 1035). The Model A21 can be upgraded to a maximum of 20 Gigabit Ethernet ports via the addition of four optional quad-port copper Gigabit Ethernet NICs (feature number 1009). The physical proximity of the two processing nodes within a Model A21 (with respect to each other) is determined by which Infiniband cluster interconnect cables are ordered (feature numbers 1037, 1040 and 1041). Optical cables (feature numbers 1040 and 1041) also require feature number 1042.

Both N7700 filer models require the addition of at least one N series storage expansion unit. Within a single N series storage expansion unit, all disk drives must be of a particular type (rotational speed/capacity). Although the original order for storage expansion units may contain storage expansion units with no more than two different types (rotational speed/capacity) of disk drives, later upgrades to add additional storage expansion units do not have to meet this requirement. The maximum raw storage capacity of the N7700 system is determined only by the number of disk drives supported. Table 51 describes the maximum supported total physical storage capacity for the N7700.

EXN1000 SATA storage expansion units and EXN2000/EXN4000 Fibre Channel storage expansion units must not share Fibre Channel loops. A maximum of six storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) is supported on a single Fibre Channel loop. An SAS stack can contain a maximum of ten EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units. The maximum number of supported SAS stacks and total EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units depends upon the storage controller configuration. EXN3000s and EXN3500s are supported within the same system configuration, but they cannot be connected in the same SAS stack. A single SAS stack must contain only EXN3000s or EXN3500s. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is supported for the N7700 filer. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is designed to improve reliability, availability and serviceability of the storage expansion units attached to the storage controller by creating two redundant paths from each storage controller to each loop of the storage expansion units. For more information about using dual-path Fibre Channel cabling, see the Installation and Setup Instructions that came with your system.

The N7900 filer storage controllers consist of the Model A11 and Model A21 and associated software with gateway options. The IBM System Storage N7900 storage controllers are designed to interoperate with products capable of data transmission in the industry-standard iSCSI, CIFS, FCP and NFS protocols. These include the IBM Eserver System p, System i (NFS only), System x, and System z (NFS only) servers. See the Interoperability Matrix at the following web page for supported devices for your N7000 series filer system. www.ibm.com/systems/storage/network/interophome.html Mixed disk/LUN support is available on N series gateway systems. This support requires Data ONTAP 7.3 or higher and enables the use of both third-party disks and N series storage expansion units on N series gateways. This support also enables SnapLock Compliance, LockVault Compliance, and Disk Sanitization on gateways when used with IBM N series storage only. These features are not supported on third-party storage devices. For details about your system's configuration limits for Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, and iSCSI, refer to the IBM System Storage N series Fibre Channel and iSCSI Configuration Guide for your version of Data ONTAP.
N7900 A11
The N7900 Model A11 is designed to provide a single-node storage controller with iSCSI support, and NFS, CIFS, and FCP support via optional features. The N7900 Model A11 is a 6U storage controller that must be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The N7900 storage controller does not include storage in the base chassis. The base chassis includes: v Four AMD 2.6 GHz Opteron 885 64-bit dual-core processors, each with 1 MB of level 2 cache v v v v v 32 GB of DDR-333 memory 2 GB of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) Six integrated Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports Eight integrated 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports Dual redundant hot-plug integrated power supplies and cooling fans
v Three PCI-X expansion slots v Six PCIe expansion slots (Five PCIe slots are available for customer use. One PCIe slot is reserved for the NVRAM6 adapter.)
86
v One serial console port For the N7900 Model A11, the maximum number of additional expansion adapters is eight (three PCI-X and five PCIe). One PCIe expansion slot is used for the standard (included with the N7900) 2 GB NVRAM adapter card. Note: The PCIe and PCI-X adapters supported by the N7700 and N7900 storage systems are described in Appendix I, Optional adapter cards supported by N7000 series systems, on page 255. The N7900 Model A11 can be upgraded to a maximum of 14 multi-path (loop A and loop B) Fibre Channel loops (28 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports) via the addition of four optional Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (feature numbers 1014, 1029, or 1035). The 14 loops will support a maximum of 1176 total disk drives (or LUNs, with the gateway option). The Model A11 can be upgraded to a maximum of 14 Gigabit Ethernet ports via the addition of two optional quad-port copper Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface cards (NICs) (feature number 1009). The Model A11 may be upgraded to a Model A21. The upgrade from a Model A11 to a Model A21 is a disruptive upgrade.
N7900 A21
The N7900 Model A21 is designed to provide identical function as the N7900 Model A11, but with the addition of a second processing node and the Clustered Failover (CFO) licensed function. The N7900 Model A21 also supports a maximum of 1176 drives (or LUNs, with the gateway option) and 14 backend Fibre Channel loops. The Model A21 consists of two nodes that are designed to provide failover and failback function, helping improve overall availability. For the Model A21, each node is a 6U rack-mountable storage controller. Therefore, the Model A21 occupies a total of 12U of rack space. The N7900 Model A21 includes: v Eight AMD 2.6 GHz Opteron 885 64-bit dual-core processors, each with 1 MB of level 2 cache v 64 GB of DDR-333 memory v 4 GB of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) v 12 integrated Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports v v v v 16 integrated 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports Dual redundant hot-plug integrated power supplies and cooling fans Six PCI-X expansion slots 12 PCIe expansion slots (Ten PCIe slots are available for customer use. Two PCIe slots are reserved for NVRAM6 adapters.)
v Two serial console ports For the N7900 Model A21, the maximum number of additional expansion adapters is 16 (six PCI-X and 10 PCIe). Two PCIe expansion slots are used for the standard (included with the N7900) 2 GB NVRAM adapter cards. Note: The PCIe and PCI-X adapters supported by the N7700 and N7900 storage systems are described in Appendix I, Optional adapter cards supported by N7000 series systems, on page 255.
87
The N7900 Model A21 can be upgraded to a maximum of 14 dual-path (loop A and loop B) Fibre Channel loops (28 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports) via the addition of four optional Fibre Channel HBAs for Disk Attachment (feature numbers 1014, 1029, or 1035). The Model A21 can be upgraded to a maximum of 20 Gigabit Ethernet ports via the addition of four optional quad-port copper Gigabit Ethernet NICs (feature number 1009). The physical proximity of the two processing nodes within a Model A21 (with respect to each other) is determined by which Infiniband cluster interconnect cables are ordered (feature numbers 1037, 1040 and 1041). Optical cables (feature numbers 1040 and 1041) also require feature number 1042.

Both N7900 filer models require the addition of at least one N series storage expansion unit. Within a single N series storage expansion unit, all disk drives must be of a particular type (rotational speed/capacity). Although the original order for storage expansion units may contain storage expansion units with no more than two different types (rotational speed/capacity) of disk drives, later upgrades to add additional storage expansion units do not have to meet this requirement. The maximum raw storage capacity of the N7900 system is determined only by the number of disk drives supported. Table 54 describes the maximum supported total physical storage capacity for the N7900.

EXN1000 SATA storage expansion units and EXN2000/EXN4000 Fibre Channel storage expansion units must not share Fibre Channel loops. A maximum of six storage expansion units (EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000) are supported on a single Fibre Channel loop. A SAS stack can contain a maximum of ten EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units. The maximum number of supported SAS stacks and total EXN3000 or EXN3500 storage expansion units depends upon the storage controller configuration. EXN3000s and EXN3500s are supported within the same system configuration, but they cannot be connected in the same SAS stack. A single SAS stack must contain only EXN3000s or EXN3500s. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is supported for the N7900 filer. Dual-path Fibre Channel cabling is designed to improve reliability, availability and serviceability of the storage expansion units attached to the storage controller by creating two redundant paths from each storage controller to each loop of the storage expansion units. For more information about using dual-path Fibre Channel cabling, see the Installation and Setup Instructions that came with your system.

The operating system for the IBM N series products is the Data ONTAP software. It is a highly optimized, scalable and flexible operating system that can handle heterogeneous environments. It integrates into UNIX, Windows, and web environments. Data ONTAP characteristics include: v Flexible volumes that do not require prepartitioning v Usage of multiple processors for performance v Block-level data access over a Fibre Channel SAN fabric using FCP and over an IP-based Ethernet network using iSCSI v File-level data access over an IP-based Ethernet network using file access protocols such as NFS, CIFS, HTTP, or FTP v Data protection and recovery v Disk-based data permanence features for regulated and reference data v Double parity RAID v Setup wizard v FilerView, a web-based administration tool that allows IT administrators to fully manage N series systems from remote locations. FilerView is a simple and intuitive web-based single-appliance administration. v SnapShot, which enables instant self-service file backup and recovery for end users. Only block level changes are stored, so only a minimal amount of space is required for each subsequent snapshot. v FlexVol, which allows an administrator to create multiple flexible volumes across a large pool of disks. This feature enables dynamic, non-disruptive storage (thin) provisioning and increases space- and time-efficiency. FlexVol enables more productive use of available storage and helps improve performance. The following protocols are supported for IBM N series storage systems. CIFS CIFS allows Microsoft Windows servers and clients access over the IP network using CIFS file system protocols. Microsoft Windows client access licenses (CALs) are not required. CIFS supports an active directory environment. To enable CIFS support, you must purchase the appropriate feature code. See IBM N series host software features on page 119. NFS NFS allows UNIX and Linux servers and clients access over an IP network using NFS file system protocols. To enable NFS support, you must purchase the appropriate feature code. See IBM N series host software features on page 119. iSCSI iSCSI allows transfer of data between storage and servers in block I/O formats (iSCSI protocol) across an IP network. iSCSI enables the creation of IP SANs for optimizing the transfer of database traffic in IP environments. To enable iSCSI, you must purchase the appropriate feature code. See IBM N series host software features on page 119.
103
FCP
FCP allows transfer of data between storage and servers in block I/O formats utilizing FCP protocols across a Fibre Channel SAN. FCP enables participation of an N series storage solution within Fibre Channel SAN environments. To enable FCP, you must purchase the appropriate feature code. See IBM N series host software features on page 119.
Following are descriptions of some of the Data ONTAP software packages available for N series storage systems as feature codes. Advanced Single Instance Storage This feature provides block-level deduplication within the entire flexible volume on an IBM N series storage controller that has the near-line Function feature enabled. Advanced Single Instance Storage only stores unique data blocks in the flexible volume and creates a small amount of additional metadata in the process. Each block of data has a digital "signature," that is compared to all other signatures in the flexible volume. If an exact byte-for-byte block match exists on the flexible volume, the duplicate block is discarded and its disk space is reclaimed. CFO Installed on a pair of N series storage controllers, this feature is designed to enable the transfer of data service from an unavailable controller to the other controller in the cluster. It is designed to deliver a robust and highly available data service for business-critical environments.
Disk Sanitization Disk sanitization is the process of physically obliterating data by overwriting disks with specified byte patterns or random data in a manner that helps prevent recovery of current data by any known recovery methods. This feature enables you to carry out disk sanitization by using three successive byte-overwrite patterns per cycle and a default six cycles per operation. Note: After the disk sanitization feature has been installed on an N series storage system, it cannot be uninstalled. FlexCache for NFS FlexCache for NFS is designed to create a caching layer in your storage infrastructure that helps to eliminate performance bottlenecks in NFS environments. It is designed to replicate hot data sets to local caching volumes anywhere in the infrastructure. This is useful with NFS implementations in compute-intensive applications, distributed computing environments, and reverse-tiered storage. FlexClone FlexClone enables near-instant replication of data volumes/sets without requiring additional storage space at the time of creation. FlexClone allows an IT administrator to make a backup copy of a database and then modify and run testing against the test (backup) database without affecting the online database and without taking the online database offline. MetroCluster This feature is an integrated, high-availability, and business-continuance solution designed to leverage proven technologies from IBM. It expands the capabilities of the IBM N series portfolio of high-availability and disaster recovery solutionsa portfolio that includes failover, data replication, and backup solutions. MetroCluster is designed to be a simple-to-administer solution that extends failover capability from within a
104
data center to a remote site. It also provides replication of data at the primary site to a remote site, helping to keep data at the remote site current. The combination of failover and data replication aids in the recovery from disaster, helping prevent loss of data in less time than otherwise possible. MultiStore MultiStore permits consolidating a large number of Windows and UNIX file servers onto a single storage system. MultiStore is designed to let you quickly and easily create separate, private logical partitions in filer network and storage resources. Each virtual storage partition is designed to maintain separation from every other storage partition to prevent different enterprise departments that share the same storage resources from accessing or finding other partitions. MultiStore helps prevent information on any virtual partition from being viewed, used, or downloaded by an unauthorized users. NearStore This feature is designed to help optimize an N series system for data protection and retention applications. It enables additional concurrent streams and SnapVault for NetBackup. SnapLock Compliance SnapLock Compliance provides data permanence storage that enables compliance with government records retention regulations by using SEC-compliant disk-based WORM technology. SnapLock Enterprise Like SnapLock Compliance, SnapLock Enterprise provides data permanence storage that enables compliance with government records retention regulations by using SEC-compliant disk-based WORM technology. SnapLock Enterprise allows administrators to delete SnapLock Enterprise volumes. SnapManager for Exchange SnapManager for Exchange is designed to help streamline storage management while simplifying configuration, backup, and restore operations for Microsoft Exchange databases. SnapManager for Hyper-V SnapManager for Hyper-V is designed to designed to integrate with the Microsoft Hyper-V virtual server infrastructure and automate crucial tasks such as back up, restore, recovery, and cloning. It allows connectivity of any number of Microsoft Hyper-V servers to one storage controller. SnapManager for Oracle SnapManager for Oracle is designed to integrate with an Oracle Database and automate crucial tasks such as back up, restore, database recovery, and cloning. SnapManager for SAP SnapManager for SAP is designed to allow SAP administrators to backup and restore a SAP system hosted on an Oracle database. It is integrated with the interface for SAP br* tools for backup and recovery of SAP systems as well as with the N series data management tools. It is designed to simplify provisioning and data protection on enterprise SAP systems. SnapManager for SharePoint IBM SnapManager for Microsoft Office SharePoint provides a single console to manage disk-based backup and recovery of SharePoint content
105
databases, portals, sites, sub-sites, folders, documents, and versions of documents. Deployed in combination with an N series storage system, SnapManager software is designed to provide near-instantaneous hot backups and rapid restores to help you achieve a combination of availability, scalability, performance, and reliability for SharePoint environments. This feature allows connectivity of any number of Microsoft Office SharePoint servers to one N series storage system. SnapManager for SQL SnapManager for SQL is designed to help reduce backup and restore times of SQL databases by using backups based upon snapshot copies. SnapManager for SQL enables simultaneous backup of multiple databases using minimal disk space for each additional full backup. SnapManager for VI SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructures (SnapManager VI) is designed to integrate with a virtual server infrastructure and automate crucial tasks such as back up, restore, recovery, and cloning. It allows connectivity of any number of VMWare servers to one storage controller. SnapMirror SnapMirror provides remote mirroring software that enables automated file system replication between sites. SnapMirror enables asynchronous, synchronous, and semi-synchronous remote replication over inexpensive Internet protocols. Full backup is followed by incremental block updates. SnapMover SnapMover provides a local data migration solution for optimizing workloads across N series systems sharing a common disk array. SnapMover allows you to migrate the ownership of a volume from one filer to another filer with a single command. This feature also allows for better resource utilization and performance amongst multiple N series systems. Note: MultiStore and Clustering are prerequisites for SnapMover. SnapRestore SnapRestore enables quick restoration of snapshot data files and volumes. It provides instant self-service volume recovery for large individual files. SnapRestore allows volumes to be restored with a single command (as opposed to the file level restorations that SnapShot offers). SnapValidator SnapValidator provides data validation and protection for Oracle data. SnapVault Primary SnapVault Primary provides disk-based backup by periodically backing up a SnapShot copy to another system. SnapVault provides heterogeneous, super-efficient, hourly disk-based online backup and restoration by periodically backing up a snapshot copy to another system. SnapVault Primary is the license for the primary backup system in use. SnapVault Secondary Like SnapVault Primary, SnapVault Secondary provides disk-based backup by periodically backing up a SnapShot copy to another system. SnapVault Secondary is required to attain the license for the secondary backup device. SyncMirror SyncMirror provides data protection by maintaining two copies of data online; SyncMirror maintains strict physical separation between the two
106
copies. This feature enables synchronous local mirroring from one volume to another volume attached to the same filer. SyncMirror includes volume mirroring between two clustered nodes.

IBM N series host software features

This section describes the host software features available for your N series storage system. Host software features are installed directly on the host that supports your N series storage system. Data ONTAP DSM for Windows MPIO The Data ONTAP Device Specific Module (DSM) for Windows Multipath I/O (MPIO) supports Windows Server host machines running SnapDrive for Windows attached to N series storage systems that are licensed to use the DSM with Fibre Channel (FC) and iSCSI paths. Open Systems SnapVault Agents Open Systems SnapVault is designed to be a heterogeneous, disk-to-disk data protection solution. An OSSV primary system corresponds to a backup client in the traditional backup architecture. The SnapVault secondary system is always an N series system running Data ONTAP. OSSV software is designed to protect data residing on the primary system, which can be a storage system attached to a server running an operating system such as AIX, Windows, VMWare or Linux. Three main components are installed within the OSSV environment:
119
v The primary system v The OSSV agent residing on the primary system v The secondary system (N series) with the SnapVault Secondary feature A predetermined directory or file system is chosen to be backed up to the secondary storage. The data set is mapped to a secondary system qtree on a secondary storage system. Operation Manager Core (OMC) The OMC features are designed to provide a central point of control and to provide alerts, reports, and configuration tools. These tools are designed to help manage storage and content delivery infrastructure, consistent with business requirements, and help maximize availability and reduce total cost of ownership. Protection Manager The Protection Manager feature provides backup and replication management software for an N series disk-based data protection environment. It is designed to help protect data and support high productivity by providing policy-based management, including when used in automated data protection configurations. Protection Manager Disaster Recovery (DR) features The Protection Manager Disaster Recovery (DR) features provide backup and replication management software for an N series disk-based data protection environment and disaster recovery. Protection Manager DR is designed to help protect data and support high productivity by providing policy-based management, including when used in automated data-protection environments. Provisioning Manager Provisioning Manager is an automated, policy-based provisioning software for N series environments. The software is designed to automate manual and repetitive provisioning processes, increasing the productivity of administrators and improving the availability of data by ensuring that provisioned storage complies with data protection policies. Single Mailbox Recovery Single Mailbox Recovery (SMBR) adds advanced function to the SnapManager for Exchange feature. Single Mailbox Recovery restores individual mail items from any recent (hourly, daily, or weekly) snapshot. This helps allow rapid search of archived snapshot copies of previously deleted messages that are no longer in the current mailbox. Single Mailbox Recovery also includes Extract Wizards for Microsoft NT Backup, VERITAS Backup Exec, and, optionally, Extract Wizards for CA BrightStor ARCserve, Legato NetWorker, and VERITAS Net Backup. The Extract Wizards are designed to restore both private and public exchange information and stored data from tape or disk backups to any alternate location (machine, volume, or folder), thereby helping to eliminate the need for a recovery server. SMBR Administrative Server SMBR Administrative Server provides a framework that can host centralized services for multiple clients and provide both client and server support for Single Mailbox Recovery 5.0, or higher and Single Mailbox Recovery ExtractWizard users. It facilitates server configuration, mailbox permissions, and application auditing services for SMBR environments.
120
SMBR Content Analysis Wizard The SMBR Content Analysis Wizard (CAW) is designed to enable you to automate and save search results with Microsoft Exchange by selecting sources, including entire Exchange Database (EDB) files, individual mailboxes from an EDB, or folders from an EDB. Any number of sources is allowed. SnapDrive SnapDrive provides a software application designed to enhance the storage management capabilities in an operating system environment, including easier management of dynamic volume, cluster, snapshot, and replication management. SnapManager for Exchange SnapManager for Exchange is designed to help streamline storage management while simplifying configuration, backup, and restore operations for Microsoft Exchange databases. SnapManager for Hyper V SnapManager for Hyper-V is designed to designed to integrate with the Microsoft Hyper-V virtual server infrastructure and automate crucial tasks such as back up, restore, recovery, and cloning. It allows connectivity of any number of Microsoft Hyper-V servers to one storage controller. SnapManager for Microsoft Office SharePoint Archiver This feature is used with Microsoft SharePoint and SnapManager Sharepoint (SMSP) environments to migrate binary large object data (BLOB) into a CIFS share, accessible outside of the SharePoint data structure. This method of externalizing data helps improve scalability of the SharePoint environment while providing access to the data. These CIFS shares can reside on primary (FC/SAS) storage or on secondary storage (SATA), allowing the core SharePoint data and the externalized data to be stored on a single system. SnapManager for Microsoft Office SharePoint Migrator This feature adds the ability to use SMSP functions to migrate data from existing CIFS shares and Exchange public folders to the SharePoint data structure to take advantage of collaboration security provided by SharePoint. Data contained in existing CIFS shares that require increased security for collaboration can be migrated directly to the SharePoint environment. Similarly, the data in Exchange public folders can be migrated to the SharePoint environment while keeping in place all the existing access security components. SnapManager for SQL SnapManager for SQL is designed to help reduce backup and restore times of SQL databases by using backups based upon snapshot copies. SnapManager for SQL enables simultaneous backup of multiple databases using minimal disk space for each additional full backup. SnapManager for Oracle SnapManager for Oracle allows connection of one Oracle host server to a storage controller. SnapManager for Oracle for Windows SnapManager for Oracle for Windows is designed to integrate with an Oracle database and automate crucial tasks such as backup, restore, database recovery, and cloning. This feature allows connection of one Oracle host server to a storage controller. One of this feature is required for
121
each Oracle host. SnapManager for Oracle for Windows is available for Oracle databases running on Windows. SnapManager for VI IBM SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructures (SnapManager VI) is designed to integrate with a virtual server infrastructure and automate crucial tasks such as back up, restore, recovery, and cloning in a VMWare environment.

Circuit breaker and power outlet balancing requirements

NEMA If your equipment is mounted in a rack, the total number of circuit breakers required for your equipment is based on the current draw. You should not load a circuit beyond 80% of the rated limit for the circuit. For example, if you have a 20A circuit, you should load it to no more than 16A of draw. IEC If your equipment is mounted in a rack, the total number of circuit breakers required for your equipment is based on the current draw. For example, if you have a 16A circuit, you should load it to no more than 16A of draw. Attention: Overloading circuit breakers can lead to tripped breakers or power brownouts that can cause system errors.
Balancing the load across PDUs

A best practice is to plan how to distribute the total load across the PDU banks prior to plugging your system components into them. You should make each bank load as equal as possible. Keep the following considerations in mind when planning to balance the load: v Balancing the load depends on the number of components being connected and the location of the component power supply units (PSUs), as shown in the following illustrations. v You should connect the components to different PDUs on opposite sides of the system cabinet, using the illustrations for reference. v You should plug each component into the PDU outlet directly across from the component, using the illustrations for reference.
Examples of balancing the load with a single component

The following illustrations show three examples of connecting the PSUs of a single component, such as a controller in a single chassis, to the system cabinet PDUs.

Connecting your system to an ASCII terminal console

The ASCII terminal console enables you to monitor the boot process, helps you configure your system after it boots, and enables you to perform system administration.

ASCII terminal console wiring

The following table lists the RJ-45 connection pinout for the ASCII terminal console wiring.

DB-9 to RJ-45 console adapter pin connections

You use the DB-9 to RJ-45 console adapter to connect the ASCII terminal console to your N6000 series system. Its purpose is to convert the RJ-45 pinout on the system to the DB-9 pinout, like those on other IBM products, and all PCs. The following table lists the console adapter pin number connections between the PC-style DB-9 male connector and the RJ-45 connection on your system.

How the measurements are made

These published system measurements are conservative. The following assumptions, conditions, and observations apply to these measurements: v Line voltage is either 100V AC or 200V AC. v Current and power are steady state rms values. v Heat dissipation in BTU/hour is based on Watts multiplied by 3.4129. v Measurements are taken at room ambient. v Data is collected for each individual controller, controller module, or storage expansion unit, not for clustered systems or other combinations (except for platforms that have two controllers in one chassis). v Each controller or storage expansion unit is fully populated with a particular drive type and speed and exercised with multiple threads of a disk stress test program. v Controllers or controller modules with PCI slots are fully populated and are exercised with test program. v To account for customer work loads that exceed these conditions, the total system workload is calculated using random disk_qual to obtain electrical current, power, and heat dissipation values.
132
v If the system configuration causes fan speed to increase or decrease, the data is collected in that mode. v Because fan speed can vary for a given set of conditions, the worst case set of numbers is presented. v Electrical requirements for systems containing performance accelerator modules are measured with the maximum number of these modules installed in the system.
Converting watts to volt-amps (VA)

Use the following formula to calculate VA from watts: VA = Watts/PF PF = 0.95 Watts = Watts listed in the individual tables
Important information about ambient temperature

IBM N series systems have variable speed cooling fans. At higher ambient temperatures, the fans will spin faster and consume more power. This may counteract some energy savings anticipated by rasing the ambient temperature. You should operate your system within the ambient temperature range of 10-40 C. As the temperature increases, the reliability and life expectancy of electronics and hard disk drives decreases.

Important factors to consider

When installing the N series storage system, you must keep in mind certain environmental factors. When you are planning your installation give careful consideration to the following: v Weight of the N series storage system. See Hardware specifications on page 132. The N series storage system requires three people to install it. v Rack considerations. The clearances and mounting requirements are specified in Rack considerations. v Power supplies and power requirements. You may need to provide new service or install an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). See Power supplies and power requirements for more information. v System input power. See System input power on page 178 for more information. v Thermal considerations. See Thermal considerations on page 179. v Floor loading. See Floor-loading specifications on page 180. v Floor planning. See Floor plan considerations on page 180 for more information. v Cabling. Both Ethernet and Fibre Channel cabling will be required. See Chapter 4, Site planning, on page 125 and Chapter 5, Cable planning, on page 183. v AutoSupport. AutoSupport is a sophisticated, event-driven logging agent featured in the Data ONTAP operating software and inside each N series storage systems that continuously monitors the health of your system. See Chapter 6, AutoSupport, on page 187.
Rack considerations
The four recommended racks for the N series storage system are: v IBM 7014 Model T00 (a 36U high rack) v IBM 7014 Model T42 (a 42U high rack) v IBM 2101 Model N00 (a 36U high rack) v IBM 2101 Model N42 (a 42U high rack) The N series storage system can also be mounted in some other IBM and non-IBM racks, provided the rack meets all the requirements specified in Appendix C, Specifications for IBM and non-IBM racks, on page 195. When clustering N series storage systems, the physical proximity of the cluster nodes is determined by the Infiniband (IB) cluster interconnect cables that are ordered. Feature codes are available for cluster cables ranging in size from 2 m to 30 m. For more information, see Chapter 2, IBM N series hardware features, on page 9.
Power supplies and power requirements

N series storage systems contain two hot-swappable power supplies. They are both active at the same time, but have sufficient capacity that if one fails the other can assume the full load. Each power supply has a separate power cord. Separate power sources for each power cord are recommended.
176
Power cords with attached plugs are provided for most ac-powered systems. The power cords are ordered by feature code and at least one power cord must be specified when the ordering the N series storage system. A feature code contains two cords, one for each power supply. Power cables vary by country and are listed in Appendix B, Power cord list for N series storage systems, on page 191.

Before you install the N series storage system, you must make sure that its proposed location meets the power requirements. If necessary, consult an electrician to determine if your electrical infrastructure can support the N series storage system that you are installing. 2. Consider security when planning your power requirements. (For example, your power mains should be in a secure area.) See Security on page 181 for more information.
System input power

The following input power considerations apply to all system units. See Rack considerations on page 176 for additional information about power.
Electrical considerations
These topics should be considered before you install a system.
Primary computer power service

Although a dedicated power supply is not necessary, for maximum reliability, the computer power panel should connect to feeders that do not serve other loads. Connect electrical noise-producing devices to panels separate from those feeding the system units.
178
Grounding
For information about grounding your N series storage systems and storage expansion units, see the Installation and Setup Instructions for your N series products. To ensure proper grounding, a licensed electrician should check the grounding and receptacles for conformance with the country electrical codes.
Computer room emergency power-off controls

As a safety precaution, you should provide computer room emergency power-off controls for disconnecting the main service wiring that supplies the computer equipment. Install these controls at a convenient place for the operator and next to the main exit doors of the room.
Lightning protection
You should install lightning protection devices when in environments such as these: v An overhead power service supplies the primary power. v The area is subject to electrical storms or equivalent-type power surges.
Three-phase power
If your rack power distribution uses three-phase power, consult a licensed electrician to ensure that the loads are properly balanced.
Thermal considerations
When installed in a rack, all components, including the N series storage system, should have front-to-back air flow. Failure to do so results in a thermal loop, where the heated exhaust air from one unit is drawn into the air intake of another, which further heats the air. Eventually a unit will shut down or fail to operate due to high temperature.

Floor-loading specifications
Consult with an engineer to determine your floor-loading specifications. See Hardware specifications on page 132 for information on the N series storage system weight. See Appendix C, Specifications for IBM and non-IBM racks, on page 195 for rack floor-loading specifications.
Floor plan considerations

You need to create a floor plan before installing a N series storage system. This section describes floor planning considerations and how to create a floor plan. It also describes what security measures to keep in mind when doing floor planning. Before you create your floor plan, consider these variables: v Flow of work and personnel within the area v Placement to optimize cooling, such as positioning the unit over a cutout in a raised floor v Routing of cables and length of cables v Location of safety equipment v Future expansion
Creating a floor plan

It is important to ensure that the total weight of installed racks and equipment does not exceed the maximum amount of weight that the floor in your facility
180
supports. You need to create a floor plan before installing a N series storage system. This section discusses floor planning considerations and how to create a floor plan. It also discusses security measures to keep in mind when doing your floor planning. Note: You might need to prepare and analyze several plans before choosing a final one. If you install more than one N series storage system in more than one installation stage, prepare a separate plan for each installation stage. Begin with an accurate drawing of the installation area (blueprints and floor plans are appropriate). Include the following items in your floor plan: v Service and operational clearances. v If the N series storage system will be on a raised floor, consider any objects that might obstruct cable routing and the height of the raised floor. v If the N series storage system will not be on a raised floor, consider these factors: Placement of cables to minimize obstruction Amount of additional cable required if the cable is indirectly routed between N series storage system (for example, along the walls or suspended from the ceiling) v Location of: Power receptacles Air conditioning equipment and controls File cabinets, desks, and other office equipment Room emergency power-off controls All entrances, walkways, exits, windows, columns, and pillars v LAN and telephone connections. When you finish the floor plan, review it to make sure that all cables to be connected to the N series storage system are long enough. Also ensure that the N series storage system has enough clearance.
Security
In forming your floor plan, you should consider ways to keep your N series storage system secure. For security purposes, use these precautions: v Choose a trusted administrator. v Place any equipment that may disrupt operations (for example, power supplies) in a secure location. v Keep rack cabinet keys in a secure location.

182
Chapter 5. Cable planning

Before ordering, the customer is asked to develop specific planning information concerning the physical layout of the installation. This chapter can help you plan your layout by presenting useful planning information for interconnecting the system units and devices. You must plan the type of cable, cable path, and cable length. Consider not only your current needs but also your anticipated growth and the relocation of personnel. To assist with the installation of your system, you should note cable paths on your floor plan. The customer is responsible for planning for the installation of interconnecting cables, including the proper lightning and surge protection as necessary and should contact the appropriate contractor for guidance and assistance as required.
General considerations
In preparing for cabling, consider the following: v Where applicable, electrical and physical specifications of cables that you currently have and plan to use with the N series storage system must be compatible with the standards mentioned in this manual. If no standard is specifically mentioned in this manual, the standards for the interface on that adapter must be met. v Lengths and paths of cables. v Communication signal cables should be installed away from power lines or other sources of electrical interference. v Labeling of cables and ports you currently have in order to indicate which devices you want attached to them. v Electrostatic discharge (ESD) considerations. In particular, unprotected patch panels, punch blocks, or other intermediate routing or switching devices used in cabling can allow ESD into the network. Note: Lightning protection must be provided on any cable that travels outside of the building in which the system or devices are installed. Contact a cabling vendor about providing lightning protection for those cables. Fiber-optic cables do not require lightning protection. The following cabling is required: 1. Power cables for power supplies and rack power distribution. 2. Category 5 or better copper Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors. Note: EXN3000 and EXN3500 ACP cabling requires Category 6 or better Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors. 3. 50 or 62.5 um fiber optic cable with LC connectors for Fiber Ethernet ports. 4. 50 or 62.5 um fiber optic cable with LC connectors for Fibre Channel ports. 5. LVD SCSI cable for optional direct SCSI-attached tape backup. The connector on the rear of the N series storage system is a VHDCI mini 68pin connector.
183
6. If clustering, Infiniband (IB) cluster interconnect cables are available for N5000 series and N7000 series models and can be ordered in the following lengths and types:
Table 169. Infiniband (IB) cluster interconnect cables Description 2m Copper Cluster 4X IB cable 5m Fiber Cluster 4X IB cable Machine 2864, 2865 , 2866, 2867, 2868, 2869 2864, 2865, 2866, 2867, 2868, 2869 Model A20/G20/A21 A20/G20/A21 A20/G20/A21 A20/G20/A21 1037 1040 1041 1042 Feature

Cable measuring
Accurate measuring of cables is critical to a successful and efficient installation. Do not guess or estimate your cable lengths. Some cable lengths are fixed. For example, the Infiniband (IB) cluster interconnect cables are fixed length cables that restrict the physical distance of the cluster nodes in the rack. The power cords, depending on the feature code, are also of fixed lengths. For the Ethernet and Fibre Channel cabling, consider the following: 1. Cabling that exits the N series storage system is typically run in a cable management tray, included with the N series storage system. 2. Avoid sharp bends and do not route cables near rack doors to avoid crimping cables. 3. Account for raised floor height, if appropriate.
Cable labeling
Cable labels can be used to organize your cabling. The fields on a cable label are: Room Person Telephone # Device type Device ID Software location code The room number, or other information about the physical location of the device. The name of the person who uses the device. The nearest telephone number to the device. This could be a printer, plotter, TTY, or similar device. The device ID is determined when the software is configured on the system. The software location code is the link between the hardware and software. This code appears in the software configuration menus and in the hardware diagnostic menus.
184
Note: For specific location code information, see the Diagnostic Information manual for your system. Adapter type The adapter type number is located on a label attached to the end of the adapter. Note: Some of the adapters do not have an adapter type. Interface Name of the asynchronous adapters, and some network adapters, generally includes the name of the interface. For example, Ethernet LAN or Fibre Channel SAN. Used in a rack-type system unit to identify the physical location of the drawer within the rack. The label along the right side of the rack (with rear cover open) indicates numbers from 1, at the bottom, to 32, at the top of the rack. The number at the bottom-right corner of the drawer is the EIA location for this drawer. Physical position within the system unit or drawer where the adapter is located. Each adapter slot is identified by a single digit number. Usually, the number is embossed in the adapter mounting frame. Connector number on the adapter. Most adapters have only one connector, so this number is 1. The number of the tailgate connector to which this cable is attached if tailgates are used. If an installation has more than one system unit, each one must be identified to prevent connecting devices to the wrong system unit. The customer determines the System ID.

Chapter 6. AutoSupport
AutoSupport is a sophisticated, event-driven logging agent featured in the Data ONTAP operating software and inside each N series storage systems that continuously monitors the health of your system. It keeps a watchful eye on a multitude of preset conditions, automatically sending a status message to IBM Technical Support, and your system administrator if desired, for immediate action to correct potential problems. AutoSupport makes sure that your storage environment is working at top efficiency. For more information on AutoSupport, go to the N series support website AutoSupport overview page at https://www.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=ssg1S7001625.
How does AutoSupport work?

The AutoSupport feature triggers the automatic sending of notification messages to IBM Service and Support. AutoSupport also has the ability to send notification messages to one or more customer-specified e-mail addresses which can alert recipients to potential problems with the N series storage system. As necessary, IBM Service and Support will contact customers based on the contact information in the customers record for resolution of potential system problems. Note: After an occurrence of an event, an AutoSupport notification is sent to IBM Service and Support via HTTPS by a direct connection to the predefined location specified in Data ONTAP. AutoSupport is enabled by default with Data ONTAP 7.1.1 or higher when you configure your N series storage system for the first time. IBM strongly encourages customers to enable AutoSupport. AutoSupport enables the IBM System Storage N series machines to send diagnostic information back to IBM when error conditions are encountered within the machines. AutoSupport can be enabled via the command line interface via the following command: options autosupport.enable on AutoSupport can also be enabled via the FilerView web browser user interface by selecting Filer Configure AutoSupport in the left-hand navigation frame, and then selecting Yes from the drop-down list box next to AutoSupport Enabled. On later versions of Data ONTAP, AutoSupport is enabled by default when you configure your N series storage system for the first time. After a grace period of 24 hours, AutoSupport messages start being generated. Note: You can disable AutoSupport at any time using the autosupport.enable option, but you are strongly advised to leave it enabled.
Interaction with mail hosts

N series storage systems do not function as mail hosts, they rely on another host at the customer site that listens on the SMTP port (25) to send mail to the customer-specified e-mail addresses. AutoSupport requires at least one host reachable by an N series storage system that runs an SMTP server or a mail forwarder, such as the sendmail program.
187
Subject line of AutoSupport e-mail messages

The subject line of the e-mail messages sent by the AutoSupport mechanism contains a text string that identifies the reason for the notification. The subject also contains a relative prioritization of the message, using syslog severity levels from DEBUG to EMERGENCY. The messages and other information in the notification should be used to check on the problem being reported. The format of the subject line is as follows: System Notification from (message)
Short e-mail messages for urgent events

Customers can specify up to five addresses of e-mail recipients in which the N series storage systems can send a short alert notification containing only the reason for the alert to these recipients. The short e-mail messages contain the reason for the notification in the subject line and note the time of failure. These messages are triggered only by specific urgent events. This feature is useful for system administrators who read e-mail messages on alphanumeric pagers.
Recipients of AutoSupport e-mail messages

Customers can specify up to five e-mail recipient addresses for standard AutoSupport notification.
Technical Support response

When IBM Technical Support receives an alert AutoSupport notification, it takes corrective action to resolve the problems. IBM Technical Support initiates a case and then contacts the customer to further investigate the situation or to provide a corrective action to the customer.
High-availability considerations
The AutoSupport notification messages from a N series storage system in a high-availability configuration are different from the AutoSupport notification messages from a standalone N series storage system in the following ways: v The AutoSupport messages from a N series storage system in a high-availability configuration contain information about the N series storage system's partner, such as the partner system ID and the partner host name. v In takeover mode, if you reboot the live N series storage system, two AutoSupport messages are sent to notify the e-mail recipients of the reboot. The live N series storage system sends one message; the failed N series storage system sends the other message. v The live N series storage system sends an AutoSupport message after it completes the takeover process.
188
Appendix A. Recommended power line sizes

This appendix discusses how to determine the power line lengths running from your N series storage system to the power source.
Recommended AC power line sizes

Longer AC power feeds need to be properly designed to preserve voltage levels to the equipment. The wiring from the breaker panel to the power strip, which supplies power to your N series storage system and storage expansion units, can often exceed 50 feet. Note: Total AC wire length = breaker to wall or ceiling outlet + extension cable or ceiling drop. The following tables list the recommended conductor size for 2% voltage drop for a particular distance in feet (taken from the Radio Engineer's Handbook).

Each ac Power Distribution Unit (PDU) can supply 4.8 kVA. A rack can have up to four PDUs as required by the drawers mounted in the rack. 5. All rack installations require careful site and facilities planning designed to both address the cumulative drawer heat output and provide the airflow volumes rates necessary to comply with drawer temperature requirements.

Rack specifications
All racks used for N series storage system installation must conform to the specifications in this section. Both the IBM 7014 (Model T00 and Model T42) and the IBM 2101 Model N00 racks conform, but some other racks, including a few from IBM do not. v The rack or cabinet must meet the EIA Standard EIA-310-D for 19-inch racks. The front rack opening must be 451 mm wide + 0.75 mm (17.75 in. + 0.03 in.), and the rail-mounting holes must be 465 mm + 0.8 mm (18.3 in. + 0.03 in.) apart on center (horizontal width between vertical columns of holes on the two front-mounting flanges and on the two rear-mounting flanges). Rail-mounting holes must be 7.1 mm + 0.1 mm (0.28 in. + 0.004 in.) in diameter.

v The rack or cabinet must be capable of supporting an average load of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) of product weight per EIA unit.
203
For example, a 4-EIA drawer will have a maximum drawer weight of 63.6 kg (140 lbs). v Only ac power drawers are supported in the rack or cabinet. It is strongly recommended that you use a power distribution unit (PDU) that meets the same specifications as IBM PDUs to supply rack power. Each Power Distribution Bus installed in a rack requires a dedicated power line of 200 to 240 V ac and 30 A. Rack or cabinet power distribution devices must meet the drawer power requirements, as well as that of any additional products that will be connected to the same power distribution device. The rack or cabinet power receptacle (PDU, UPS or multi-outlet strip) must have a compatible plug type for your drawer or device. Note: Refer to the sales manual for 7014 or 2101 racks if you want to use PDUs that are designed for 7014 or 2101 racks. The customer is responsible for ensuring that the PDU is compatible with the rack or cabinet and assumes responsibility for any and all agency certifications required. v The rack or cabinet must be compatible with drawer mounting rails, including a secure and snug fit of the rail-mounting pins and screws into the rack or cabinet rail support hole. Note: If the rack or cabinet has square holes, a plug-in hole adapter may be required. The plug-in hole adapters are NOT part of the N series rail mounting kit included with every N series machine. The rails provided with the N series storage system have been designed and tested to safely support the weight of your drawer or device. The rails also provide rear tie-down brackets. The front and rear mounting flanges in the rack or cabinet must be 719 mm (28.3 in.) apart and the internal width bounded by the mounting flanges at least 494 mm (19.45 in.), for the IBM rails to fit in your rack or cabinet (see figure, Top View of non-IBM Rack Specifications Dimensions on page Figure 16 on page 202). v The rack or cabinet must have stabilization feet or brackets installed both in the front and rear of the rack, or have another means of preventing the rack or cabinet from tipping while the drawer or device is installed or removed. Examples of some acceptable alternatives: The rack or cabinet may be securely bolted to the floor, ceiling or walls, or to adjacent racks or cabinets in a long and heavy row of racks or cabinets. Refer to the Rack Installation Guide for the 7014 or 2101 and the individual drawer installation guides for additional information. v There must be adequate front and rear service clearances (in and around the rack or cabinet). The rack or cabinet must have sufficient horizontal width clearance in the front and rear to allow the drawer to be fully slid into the front and, if applicable, the rear service access positions (typically this requires 914.4 mm (36 in.) clearance in both the front and rear). If present, front and rear doors must be able to open far enough to provide unrestrained access for service or be easily removable. If doors must be removed for service, it is the customer's responsibility to remove them prior to service. v The rack or cabinet must provide adequate clearance around the rack drawer. There must be adequate clearance around the drawer bezel so that it can be opened and closed, according to the product specifications (refer to the 7014 or 2101 Rack Installation Guides and the individual drawer installation guides).
204
Front or rear doors must also maintain a minimum of 51 mm (2 in.) front, 203 mm (8 in.) rear, door-to-mounting flange clearance, and 494 mm (19.4 in.) front, 571 mm (22.5 in.) rear, side-to-side clearance for drawer bezels and cables (see Figure 16 on page 202). v The rack or cabinet must provide adequate front-to-back ventilation. For optimum ventilation, it is recommended the rack or cabinet not have a front door. If the rack or cabinet has doors, the doors must be fully perforated so that there is proper front-to-back airflow to maintain the required drawer ambient inlet temperature between 10 C and 40 C (50 F and 104 F), with an ideal 22 C (72 F), inside the rack. The perforations must yield 34% minimum open area per square inch.
General safety requirements for IBM products installed in a non-IBM rack

v Any product or component that plugs into either an IBM Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or main power (using a power cord), or uses any voltage over 42 V ac must be Safety Certified by a Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL) for the country in which it will be installed. Some of the items that require safety certification may include: the rack or cabinet (if it contains electrical components integral to the rack or cabinet), fan trays, PDU, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), multi-outlet strips, or any other products installed in the rack or cabinet that connect to hazardous voltage. Examples of OSHA-approved NRTLs for the USA: UL ETL CSA (with CSA NRTL or CSA US mark) Examples of approved NRTLs for Canada: UL (Ulc mark) ETL (ETLc mark) CSA The European Union requires a CE mark and a Manufacturer's Declaration of Conformity (DOC). Certified products should have the NRTL logos or marks somewhere on the product or product label. However, proof of certification must be made available to IBM upon request. Proof consists of such items as copies of the NRTL license or certificate, a CB Certificate, a Letter of Authorization to apply the NRTL mark, the first few pages of the NRTL certification report, Listing in an NRTL publication, or a copy of the UL Yellow Card. Proof should contain the manufacturer's name, product type and model, standard to which it was certified, the NRTL name or logo, the NRTL file number or license number, and a list of any Conditions of Acceptance or Deviations. A Manufacturer's Declaration is not proof of certification by an NRTL. v The rack or cabinet must meet all electrical and mechanical safety legal requirements for the country in which it is installed. The rack or cabinet must be free of exposed hazards (such as voltages over 60 V dc or 42 V ac, energy over 240 VA, sharp edges, mechanical pinch points, or hot surfaces). v There must be an accessible and unambiguous disconnect device for each product in the rack, including any PDU.
205
A disconnect device may consist of either the plug on the power cord (if the power cord is no longer than 6 feet), the inlet receptacle (if the power cord is of a detachable type), or a power on/off switch, or an Emergency Power Off switch on the rack, provided all power is removed from the rack or product by the disconnect device. If the rack or cabinet has electrical components (such as fan trays or lights), the rack must have an accessible and unambiguous disconnect device. v The rack or cabinet, PDU and Multi-Outlet Strips, and products installed in the rack or cabinet must all be properly grounded to the customer facility ground. There must be no more than 0.1 Ohms between the ground pin of the PDU or rack plug and any touchable metal or conductive surface on the rack and on the products installed in the rack. Grounding method must comply with applicable country's electric code (such as NEC or CEC). Ground continuity can be verified by your IBM service personnel, after the installation is completed, and should be verified prior to the first service activity. v The voltage rating of the PDU and multi-outlet strips must be compatible with the products plugged into them. The current and power ratings for the PDU or multi-outlet strips must be at least 1.25 times the sum of the ratings of the products that will plug into it. The current rating of the PDU or multi-outlet strip must be less than 0.80 of the rating for the building supply circuit (as required by the NEC and CEC). Example: A PDU rating of 12A for a 15A wall breaker, and sum of product ratings does not exceed 9.6A. If a UPS is installed, it must meet all the above electrical safety requirements as described for a PDU (including certification by an NRTL). v The rack or cabinet, PDU, UPS, multi-outlet strips and all products in the rack or cabinet must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions, and in accordance with all national, state or province, and local codes and laws. The rack or cabinet, PDU, UPS, multi-outlet strips and all products in the rack or cabinet must be used as intended by the manufacturer (per manufacturer's product documentation and marketing literature). v All documentation for use and installation of the rack or cabinet, PDU, UPS, and all products in the rack or cabinet, including safety information, must be available on-site. v If there is more than one source of power in the rack or cabinet, there must be clearly visible safety labels for "Multiple Power Source" (in the languages required for the country in which the product is installed). v If the rack or cabinet or any products installed in the cabinet had safety or weight labels applied by the manufacturer, they must be intact and translated into the languages required for the country in which the product is installed. v If the rack or cabinet has doors, the rack becomes a fire enclosure by definition and must meet the applicable flammability ratings (V-0 or better). Totally metal enclosures at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) thick are considered to comply. Nonenclosure (decorative) materials must have a flammability rating of V-1 or better. If glass is used (such as in rack doors) it must be safety glass. If wood shelves are used in the rack or cabinet, they must be treated with a UL Listed flame-retardant coating. v The rack or cabinet configuration must comply with all IBM requirements for "safe to service" (contact your IBM Installation Planning Representative if in doubt). There must be no unique maintenance procedures or tools required for service.
206
Elevated service installations, where the products to be serviced are installed between 1.5 m and 3.7 m (5 ft and 12 ft) above the floor, require the availability of an OSHA- and CSA-approved nonconductive step ladder. If a ladder is required for service, the customer must supply the OSHA- and CSA-approved nonconductive step ladder (unless other arrangements have been made with the local IBM Service Branch Office). Products installed over 2.9 m (12 ft) above the floor require a Special Bid to be completed before they can be serviced by IBM service personnel. For products not intended for rack-mounting to be serviced by IBM, the products and parts that will be replaced as part of that service must not weigh over 11.4 kg (25 lbs) (contact your Installation Planning Representative if in doubt). There must not be any special education or training required for safe servicing of any of the products installed in the racks (contact your Installation Planning Representative if in doubt). v Any rack or cabinet must have stabilization feet or brackets installed, or have another means of preventing the rack or cabinet from tipping during product operation or service. Examples of some acceptable alternatives: The rack or cabinet may be securely bolted to the floor, ceiling or walls, or to adjacent racks or cabinets in a long and heavy row of racks or cabinets. v It is strongly recommended that the mounting rails that are shipped with the product be used to install it in the rack. The mounting rails that ship with IBM products have been designed and tested to safely support the product during operation and service activities. The mounting rails used on products to be serviced by IBM must be certified for use with the products by an NRTL to all applicable country safety standards. Note: IBM requires that mounting rails must be able to support four times the maximum rated product weight in its worst-case position (fully extended front and rear positions) for one full minute without catastrophic failure.
