Connectivity with Fibre Channel/FICON host adapters

The DS8880 series is designed to offer enhanced connectivity with the availabilityof four-port or eight-port Fibre Channel/FICON host adapters. The 8 Gbps and 16Gbps Fibre Channel/FICON host adapters, offered in longwave and shortwave, auto-negotiate to either 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, 4 Gbps, or 2 Gbps link speeds. This flexibilityenables exploitation of the potential benefits offered by the higher performance,16 Gbps SAN-based solutions, while also maintaining compatibility with existing 2Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps infrastructures. In addition, the individual ports on theadapter can be configured with Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) or FICON(R). This canhelp protect investment in Fibre Channel adapters and increase the ability to migrateto new servers. DS8886 Model 981 can support up to a maximum of 32 four-portor 16 eight-port host adapters, which equates to a maximum of 128 Fibre Channelports.


DS8880 models offer extensive connectivity support, including Fibre Channel orFICON, across a broad range of server environments, such as IBM z SystemsTM,System p, System i(R), and System x servers, as well as servers from Sun, Hewlett-Packard, and non-IBM Intel-based servers. This rich support of heterogeneousenvironments and attachments, along with the flexibility to easily partition theDS8880 series storage capacity among the attached environments, can help supportstorage consolidation requirements and dynamic, changing environments.

Concurrent upgrade path

The DS8880 continues supporting a concurrent upgrade from the smallest to thelargest configuration on each model. This includes adding cache and processors forincreased performance, adding host ports for increased connectivity, adding HDDs,SSDs, and additional expansion frames to the base frame for increased capacity, andadding advanced function features.

High availability

DS8880 models are designed and implemented with component redundancy toeliminate single points of failure.

Logical Unit Number (LUN) and volume management

Concurrent LUN and volume creation and deletion are supported. When a LUN orvolume is deleted, the capacity can be reformatted and reused.

LUNs and volumes can be configured to span arrays, therefore the size of thevolume or LUN is not constrained by the size of the array. LUNs up to 16 TB aresupported. CKD volumes up to 1 TB (1,182,006 cylinders) are also supported.

Dynamic Volume Expansion supporting application data growth

The IBM DS8880 series supports Dynamic Volume Expansion, enabling the size ofa logical volume to be increased while it is online to a host system. This capabilitycan simplify management by enabling easier online volume expansion to supportapplication data growth. The maximum volume size is limited to the currentlysupported maximum size for DS8880:

• Open systems (Fixed Block - FB) volumes - 16 TB

• System z(R) (CKD) volumes - 1 TB (1,182,006 cylinders)

Volumes that are expanded can be online during and after the execution of thefunction. Volumes may not be in copy services relationships (Point-in-Time Copy,FlashCopy(R) SE, Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, Metro/Global Mirror, and z/OS(R) GlobalMirror functions) while expansion is taking place. The function can be managedand configured through the DS Storage Manager, DS CLI, and DS Open API. IBM zSystems and System p servers support and recognize the expanded volumes withinthe DS8880.

All other servers may require additional steps to be put into place in order to supportand recognize the expanded volumes within the DS8880. The Dynamic VolumeExpansion capability is provided with the DS8880 series at no additional charge.

Addressing capabilities

Support for logical subsystems, logical devices, and logical paths defined as:

• Up to 256 logical subsystems

• Up to 65,280 logical devices

• Up to 130,560 FICON logical paths (1,280 logical paths per control unit image)

• Up to 8,000 process logins (509 per SCSI-FCP port)

Simplified storage management for z Systems with z/OS


For z Systems and z/OS environments, DS8880 models can support 1 TB (1,182,006cylinders) 3390 volumes. It can help relieve addressing constraints, improve diskresource utilization, and improve storage administrator productivity by providing theability to consolidate multiple disk volumes into a single address.

Administration and management

• Online configuration capability features a web-based GUI designed to offerincreased ease of use

• A single command-line interface supports both logical configuration and copyservices

Conversion from Model 961 to Model 98E is for those base models with five diskenclosures since an additional expansion is required to contain the additional diskenclosure.

Every configuration that needs to perform a model conversion has to be submittedthrough SCORE process and have the configuration validated before the password isprovided to enable the model conversion option on e-config. You can access SCOREat

https://scores.boulder.ibm.com/webapp/snicrs/int/ssic/logon.do

Note: This is a reminder that model conversions are disruptive. Customers areresponsible for backing up all data on the DS8870 and restoring it when the DS8886is ready for production. The approximate duration for the conversion is three days.

Note: Prerequisites for model conversions can be found in the IBM SystemStorage(R) DS8880 Introduction and Planning Guide (GC27-8525).

Note: Certain restrictions apply based on the machine and remaining warrantyyears, contact your sales representative for additional information.

* Parts removed as a result of a model conversion become the property of IBM.

Some DS8000 series features and functions may not be available or supported in allenvironments. Current information on supported environments, prerequisites, andminimum operating system levels is available at

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/config/ssic

Planning information

Customer responsibilities

Physical configuration planning

Physical configuration planning is a customer responsibility. A marketing specialistcan help plan and select the DS8000 series physical configuration and features.Introductory information, including required and optional features, can be found inthe IBM DS8880 Introduction and Planning Guide (GC27-8525).

Capacity and performance planning assistance is also available. Through the use ofDisk Magic, a disk marketing specialist can help plan and anticipate performancecharacteristics for specific workloads by modeling proposed configurations.

Installation planning

Installation planning is a customer responsibility. Information about planning theinstallation of a DS8000 series, including equipment, site, and power requirements,can be found in the IBM DS8880 Introduction and Planning Guide (GC27-8525).

Logical configuration planning and application

Logical configuration planning is a customer responsibility. Logical configurationrefers to the creation of RAID ranks, volumes, and LUNs, and the assignment of theconfigured capacity to servers.

Application of the initial logical configuration and all subsequent modifications to thelogical configuration is a customer responsibility. The logical configuration can becreated, applied, and modified using the DS Storage Manager, DS CLI, or DS OpenAPI, and also DS8000 Graphical User Interface (GUI).

IBM Global Services will also apply or modify the logical configuration (fee-basedservice).

Licensed Machine Code planning and application

IBM may release changes to the DS8000 series Licensed Machine Code. IBMplans to make the most current DS8000 series Licensed Machine Code changesavailable for download by the DS8000 series system from the IBM System Storagetechnical support website. Not all Licensed Machine Code changes may be availablethrough the support website. If the machine does not function as warranted and a

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/config/ssic


problem can be resolved through the application of downloadable Licensed MachineCode, the customer is responsible for downloading and installing these designatedLicensed Machine Code changes as IBM specifies. IBM has responsibility for installingchanges that IBM does not make available for you to download. The DS8000 seriesincludes many enhancements to make the Licensed Machine Code change processsimpler, quicker, and more automated. A request can be made for IBM to installdownloadable Licensed Machine Code changes, however there may be a charge forthat service.

Calculating physical and effective capacity

Refer to the IBM DS8880 Introduction and Planning Guide (GC27-8525) for capacitycalculation guidelines.

Encryption planning

Encryption planning is a customer responsibility. There are three major planningcomponents to the implementation of an encryption environment. Review allplanning requirements and include them in the installation considerations.

• Storage Appliance planning

• Security Key Lifecycle Manager planning

• Encryption activation review planning

Storage Appliance planning

Storage Appliance planning is a customer responsibility. Introductory information,including required and optional features, can be found in the IBM DS8880Introduction and Planning Guide (GC27-8525).

DS8880 requires at least two storage appliances and associated software for eachsite which has one or more encryption-enabled DS8000 systems, according toencryption best practices. One server must be isolated and the others can be of anysupported appliance configuration. Any site that operates independently of othersites must have storage appliances for the encryption-enabled DS8000 systems atthat site.

It is the customer's responsibility to replicate any key labels and their associatedkey material across all storage appliances attached to a given encryption-enabledDS8000 before configuring that key label on the DS8000.

Dual storage appliance server planning

DS8000 supports the ability to configure two independent key labels for eachencryption-enabled DS8000. This capability enables the use of two independentstorage appliance server platforms when one or both storage appliance serverplatforms are using secure-key mode key stores, enabling the isolated storageappliance server platform to be used in conjunction with a second appliance serverplatform that is operating with a secure-key mode key store.

For customers desiring NIST 800-131a compliance, IBM Security Key LifecycleManager (formerly named IBM Tivoli(R) Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM)) V2.5, or later,is required.

For customers needing dual platform key server support on the DS8000 system,the installation of SKLM IFIX 2 (SKLM Version 1.0.0.2, or later) is recommendedto support displaying both key labels in the GUI. Additionally, for customers whointend to replicate keys between separate z Series Sysplexes using ICSF with theJCECCARACFKS key store in secure key mode and with the secure key configurationflag set in SKLM, SKLM Fix Pack 3 (SKLM Version 1.0.0.3, or later) is required.

IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager planning

The DS8000 series supports IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager V2.5 and IBMSecurity Key Lifecycle Manager V1.1.


Program number VRM Program name

5724-T60 2.5.0 IBM Security Key LifecycleManager

5608-A99 2.5.0 IBM Security Key LifecycleManager

To support enterprise-wide encryption-key management, a new set of pricingmetrics is now available. These pricing metrics are simpler and more comprehensivefor devices, users, and server capacity.

For self-encrypting disk drives, the metric is per client device with the disk drivefeature number.

For more information on the licensing requirements and pricing of the metric, referto Software Announcement JP13-0586, dated October 29, 2013.

Isolated key server ordering options:

• Single/Dual storage appliance server - feature numbers 1761 and 1762:New storage appliance server options are available in addition to the existingSKLM isolated key manager (feature number #0204).

• Customer acquired isolated key server: Refer to the IBM Security KeyLifecycle Manager Installation and Configuration Guide (SC27-5335) for hardwareand operating system requirements.

Note: Regardless of the ordering method, customers will need to acquire a SKLMlicense for use of the SKLM software ordered separately from the stand-alone serverhardware.

Note: The licensing for SKLM includes both an install license for the SKLMmanagement software as well as licensing for the encrypting drives.

Refer to the following publications:

• IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager Quick Start Guide (GI13-2316)

• IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager Installation and Configuration Guide(SC27-5335)

Encryption activation review planning

Encryption activation is a customer responsibility. IBM encryption offerings must beactivated prior to use. This activation is part of the installation and configurationsteps required for use of the technology. This installation and activation review isperformed by the IBM Systems and Technology Lab Services group.
