IBM System Storage TS7650G 3958 DD4, Инструкция по плану установки

Страница: 39 / 232

Chapter 1. Overview
The IBM System Storage TS7650G ProtecTIER De-duplication Gateway (TS7650G)
is available in two configurations — stand-alone and clustered.
Note: A 3958 DD4 may be clustered with a 3958 DD3. IBM does not support
clustering a 3958 DD4 with a 3958 DD1.
Note:
IBM does support installing two clustered pairs of TS7650 Gateway servers
in a single frame via the RPQ process. This document does not address that
configuration.
The purchase of the stand-alone gateway includes:
v One gateway server (IBM machine type and model 3958 DD4).
v
One licensed, preinstalled copy of Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux
®
Advanced
Platform (version x86_64 or EM64T)
v One licensed, preinstalled copy of IBM ProtecTIER
Purchase of the clustered gateway includes:
v
Two gateway servers, (IBM machine type and model 3958 DD4)
v
One Cluster Connection Kit (Feature Code 3447) consisting of:
– One Western Telematic IPS-800E-D20 remote network power switch and
accompanying cables
– Two 1 Gb Ethernet switches and accompanying cables
v Two licensed, preinstalled copies of Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux
®
Advanced
Platform (version x86_64 or EM64T)
v
Two licensed, preinstalled copies of IBM ProtecTIER
In order for either configuration of the TS7650G to be fully functional, additional
hardware components are required. These components are purchased separately
and, with the exception of the IBM TS3000 System Console (TSSC) and TSSC
Ethernet switch, must be installed and configured at the customer site before
TS7650G installation begins.
Note: If the customer is using a TSSC that already exists at their location, the TSSC
must include Feature Code 2719, and be at software level 5.5.22 or higher. See the
IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER Introduction and Planning Guide for the
TS7650G (3958 DD4), IBM form number GC53–1152 for additional information.
The lists below outline the additional recommended hardware components, based
on IBM best practices, for each configuration. IBM recommends using the
hardware components specified below to ensure optimal TS7650G functionality.
However, the actual components purchased and used are at the customer's
discretion, and may differ from those recommended.
Important:
This document references IBM 4.8 TB Fibre Channel Disk Controllers and IBM 7.2
TB Fibre Channel Disk Expansion Units in many of the hardware installation
figures, examples, and procedures.
