Terminology
IBM offers two virtualization solutions:
TS7650
When used alone, this term signifies IBM's family of virtualization
solutions that operate on the ProtecTIER platform.
TS7650G or Gateway
These are terms for IBM's virtualization solution from the TS7650 family
that does not include a disk storage repository, allowing the customer to
choose from a variety of storage options. The TS7650G consists of the
following:
Server There are five types of server that have been used in the Gateway.
The following are the currently supported servers:
3958 DD6
This is a higher performance server available in March
2016. The enclosure, or chassis, has space for two controller
nodes in the rear, which accommodates a cluster
configuration in a 2u platform and eliminates the external
cluster connection kit. In the front, the 3958 DD6 contains
24 SAS drive slots (only 2 of which actually contain SAS
drives). The 3958 DD6 also includes edundant power
supplies in the rear of the unit.
3958 DD5
This server, which first shipped in May 2012, is based on
the IBM System xy7143 model. When used as a server in
the TS7650G, its machine type and model are 3958 DD5.
Use this machine type and model for service purposes.
3958 DD4
This server became available in December 2010 and is
based on the IBM System x3850 X5 Type 7145-PBR. When
used as a server in the TS7650G, its machine type and
model are 3958 DD4. Use this machine type and model for
service purposes.
System console
The system console is a TS3000 System Console (TSSC). This
document uses the terms system console and TSSC interchangeably.
The TSSC is not available (and does not work with) the 3958 DD6.
Under IBM best practices, the TS7650G also contains the following:
