4. The Event Monitor service SMmonitor must be installed and running, or the Enterprise Management window must remain open in order to receive alert notifications, If SMmonitor is not running or the Enterprise Management window is closed, you will not receive any alert notifications from the managed storage subsystems.
It is a very simple question...How to switch off the storage (ex for maintance)?I really don't know if there is a standard procedure to switch off a SAS storage. I did not find any switch to push and in Storage management software there is not any option to shutdown.
If the IBM Systems Storage DS Storage Manager Graphical User Interface (SM GUI) is left open and connected to an IBM Systems Storage DS Storage Controller running 7.8x level of firmware, small amounts of memory are not freed. If the IBM Systems Storage DS Storage Manager Graphical User Interface is left open and connected to a storage controller, this memory leak can cause the storage controller to deplete its memory and restart.
By default this Support Monitor automatically schedules profile and support data collections at 2am. This in itself is not a problem. The problem starts if multiple copies of the Client are used to manage the same storage subsystems and the default collection time is not unique for each Client. To give a typical situation: Lets assume everyone in your support team installs the Storage Manager on their workstations (which is quite normal) and all of those workstations are still running at 2am (this depends on whether people turn their PCs and laptops off). Multiple requests will come to the storage subsystem too close together, causing performance issues as it tries to process them all at the same time. This issue is documented in Retain tip H196538 which you can read here.
The problem is that after some I/O operation one of the paths to storage is lost (Status: dead). However it is restored after HOST reboot. This problem occurs on both of the hosts. (not simultaneously)
I am experiencing the same issues here. 2 x IBM 3650M3 Hosts with SAS HBA's connecting to a DS3524... Hosts are randomly losing connectivity to the storage and need to be rebooted to restore the connection.
The functionality of Spectrum Accelerate is based on the IBM XIV, a high-end disk storage system. IBM Spectrum Accelerate and XIV run the same base software stack and interoperate with features such as management, remote replication and volume mobility.[2][3]
IBM Spectrum Virtualize is a block storage virtualization system. Because the IBM Storwize V7000 uses SVC code, it can also be used to perform storage virtualization in exactly the same way as SVC. Since mid-2012 it offers real time compression with no performance impact, saving up to 80% of disk utilization. SVC can be configured on a Stretched Cluster Mode, with automatic fail over between two data centers, and can have SSD that can be used by EasyTier software to perform sub-LUN automatic tearing.[5]
IBM SmartCloud Storage Access is a software application designed to create a private cloud storage service on existing storage devices. The software can be configured to allow users self-service, Internet-based access for account creation, storage provisioning and file management. The software offers simple management with monitoring and reporting capabilities, including storage usage by user and group definitions.[9]
IBM Easy Tier is designed to automate data placement throughout the disk pool to improve the efficiency and performance of the storage system. Easy Tier is designed to relocate data (at the extent level) across up to three drive tiers automatically and without disruption to application. IBM Easy Tier is available on the DS8000, Storwize (V7000, V7000 Unified, V5000, V3700 lines) and SAN Volume Controller.
IBM acquired flash storage system maker Texas Memory Systems in 2012.[11] In April 2013, IBM announced a plan for a $1 billion investment in flash storage research and development,[12] and then the product line-up was renewed in 2014 with the announcement of the FlashSystem 840[13] and FlashSystem V840.[14] IBM has been updating these models every year. The former IBM FlashSystem had 1U-size solutions only, but the current lineup contains rackable systems with 1U, 2U or 6U form-factor, and based on a 6U modules cabinet-size solution.
IBM Power-based storage series, that offers specialized advanced functions optimized for IBM Power Systems and IBM Z servers; This line early known as System Storage DS series, and former TotalStorage DS series; current models slowly dropped the "System Storage" naming prior to simple line names (DS#### for flash systems, TS#### for tape storage). Currently DS series contains only DS8000 sub-line.
General purpose tape library series.
The IBM TS4500 Tape Library is designed to help midsized and large enterprises respond to cloud storage challenges. It incorporates the latest generation of industry-leading linear tape-open (LTO) and IBM enterprise class technology that will help organizations handle the growing data demands of modern tape use cases. including data volume growth, rising storage footprint costs, data migration efforts and the increased complexity of IT training and management as staff resources shrink.
The IBM TS2900 Tape Autoloader is an entry-level automated backup for rack systems and small to midsize businesses. With a low-profile, high-density storage capacity, the TS2900 is ideally suited for backup and archival operations. The TS2900 is available with half-height LTO Ultrium tape technology, with 6 Gbps SAS drive options. Web-based remote management and a bar code reader help provide ease of use. The TS2900 can be used in a rack system or on a desktop next to a server in an office.
The IBM System Storage TS2230 Tape Drive, Model Type 3580, Model H3V, is a high-performance, high-capacity data-storage device that is designed to backup and restore open systems applications. It is the third generation in the Ultrium series of products, and is available with a Serial Attached SCSI interface (SAS). This model incorporates the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) IBM Ultrium 3 Half-High Tape Drive.
The IBM XIV Storage System was configured as cabinet-size solution and designed to work well in cloud and virtualized environments. The last XIV Gen3 model offers 2, 3, 4 or 6 TB drives, providing up to 485 TB of usable capacity per rack. SSD caching (available as an option) adds up to 12 TB of management-free high-performance data caching capability to the entire array. The system can also connect to external storage via Fibre Channel (8Gbit/s) and iSCSi (1 or 10 Gbit/s).[25] The XIV line was replaced by IBM FlashSystem line.[26]
The Storwize family of storage controllers shares the software with the IBM SAN Volume Controller and offers the same functionality with few exceptions. Storwize systems are capable of external virtualization, and oriented for technology migration and investment protection for aging systems. Storwize advanced caching, free-of-charge Easy Tier (automatic data placement) and automatic hotspot elimination help infuse a second life to previous-generation storage systems. Modern virtualization functions like inline real-time compression for data on external systems can help delay capacity repurchase for several years.
IBM Scale Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS) was the IBM enterprise x86-based storage platform based on GPFS technology, and released in 2010[31] as hardware product. This system implements NAS based protocols over a large-scale global name space. Today the system can scale out using commodity components to 30 balanced nodes and up to 21 PB of storage in 2011.[32] The 2013 lineup was based on a DCS3700 storage line.[33] GPFS gives the SONAS system with built-in ILM and tight integration with Tivoli Storage Manager helps move data to disk pools.[34]
The IBM BladCenter is a very robust architecture and it is available in CITI (Interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Technologies), from the University of São Paulo (USP), which is why CITI has been the ideal choice to meet a high flow of requests and data storage. It also allows the rationalization of resources when less hardware is required, reducing the short running costs and energy use, which is an ideal situation since it is considered that it should meet, after system deployment, a high flow of requests, but for short time periods.
Another parameter that must be analyzed over the model is the scalability. In this context, scalability means the responsiveness of the system in relation to resource demand that is required from it. It is considered that, in mega sporting events, the data flow generated by applications that will be integrated into the framework for later storage in the data structure must be pretty high.
We must mention the difficulty accessing the information that would enable a more complete pilot solution, which includes the implementation of the first scenario. The difficulty originates from the resistance of the stadium managers, major focus of the mega event, in providing access to technical information. They would have even favored the planning of the nonexistent communication infrastructure of most stadiums hosting the World Cup in 2014.
