Planning for network and communications requirements
You must locate your storage systems in a location that meets the network and
communications requirements.
Keep in mind the following network and communications issues when you plan
the location and interoperability of your storage systems:
v Management console network requirements
v Remote power control requirements
v Host attachment requirements
v
SAN considerations
Management console network requirements
You must plan for the network requirements of the management console.
Each management console requires a dedicated connection to the network.
Note: If you plan on accessing the DS CLI or DS8000 Storage Management GUI
and have a firewall between the management console and your network, open the
following TCP/IP ports before installation: 1750, 1751, 1755 for CLI, and 8452 for
the DS8000 Storage Management GUI.
Remote support connection requirements
IBM highly recommends remote-support connections so that the storage system
can report failures, transmit pertinent debugging data to IBM, and use remote code
load as the delivery method for code upgrades.
When call home is used, your technical support representative can quickly isolate
and resolve potential issues with the storage system. The strategic and preferred
remote support connectivity method for call home is internet SSL (Secure Socket
Layer) for management-console-to-IBM communication.
The DS8882F uses remote code load (RCL) as the default delivery method for code
upgrades. RCL provides the ability to securely download microcode and perform
concurrent code load with support already engaged to quickly resolve any issues.
RCL requires configuring Assist On-Site or remote support center (RSC), the same
secure connection method used for the DS8000 system autonomic call home
process for service. For on-site code load for license machine code upgrades, a
separate contract is required. Global Technology Services offers Global Total
Microcode Support Services. For more information, contact your sales
representative.
For IBM remote access to the management console and the storage system, the
preferred remote support connectivity method is Assist On-site (AOS). AOS
provides a network-type connection that is secured by SSL and state-of-the-art
encryption technology. If your security guidelines allow, AOS can be turned on and
