Chapter 3. Recommended TS7650G configurations
This chapter describes the recommended configurations for the TS7650G
stand-alone and clustered gateways.
For easier installation and maintenance, it is recommended that the components
included in the purchase of the TS7650G and the TSSC occupy one frame (the
server frame). There should be only one clustered pair of TS7650G servers per
frame, while the disk components occupy a second frame (the disk storage frame).
Figure 1 on page 11 and Figure 2 on page 12 show only the TS7650G components
installed in the server frame.
Important:
v IBM does support two clustered pairs of TS7650 Gateway servers in a single
frame via the RPQ process. This document does not address that configuration.
v
Hardware components included in the purchase of the gateway are listed in
bold type
below. Additional components used with the TS7650G are purchased
separately by the customer and may differ from the recommendations. A new
TSSC is ordered under FC 2732. If an existing TSSC is being used, it must
include Feature Code 2719. This feature provides a memory upgrade to 2 GB
total RAM and a second Ethernet card for the Service Console to allow
redundant connections into the service network. This feature only applies to
consoles shipped with features #2718, #2720, #2721 and #2730. 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.
v
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.
In addition to the IBM DS4700 disk controller, the TS7650G also supports the
DS5000 disk controller, the DS8000 disk controller and the XIV disk controller, as
well as various non-IBM storage solutions. If the customer has elected to use
disk storage components other than the IBM disk controllers mentioned above,
the figures, examples, and procedures in this document will not apply to the
configuration on which you are working. Therefore, it is suggested that you
determine the make and model of the disk storage components in use and, if
necessary, obtain the related product documentation before you begin
installation of the gateway.
v The RAS code no longer sends call home packages for problems with any of the
disk storage products attached to the gateway including DS4700. DS5000,
DS8000 and XIV.
