16 ETERNUS CS800
Page 17
1.2.3 Installation and Operation
CAUTION!
l This unit should not be operated in ambient temperatures above 35 °C.
l If the unit is integrated into an installation that draws power from an industrial
power supply network with an IEC309 connector, the power supply's fuse
protection must comply with the requirements for non-industrial power supply
networks for type A connectors.
l The unit automatically adjusts itself to a mains voltage in a range of 100-240 V (50-
60 Hz). Ensure that the local mains voltage lies within these limits.
l This device must only be connected to properly grounded shock-proof sockets or
insulated sockets of the rack's internal power supply with tested and approved
power cables.
l Ensure that the device is connected to a grounded shock-proof socket close to the

device from the mains power supply. To disconnect it completely from the mains
power supply, unplug all network power plugs from the grounded shock-proof
sockets.
l Always connect the system components and the attached peripherals to the same
power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for example, the
ETERNUS CS800 server unit is still running but a storage subsystem fails during
a power outage.
l Data cables must be adequately shielded.
l The EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2 standards apply for LAN cabling. The minimum
requirement is the use of a category 5 screened LAN cable for 10/100 Mbit/s
Ethernet, or a category 5e cable for Gigabit Ethernet. The requirements from the
ISO/IEC 11801 specification must also be met.
l Route the cables in such a way that they do not create a potential hazard (make
sure no-one can trip over them) and that they cannot be damaged.
l Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm (risk of
lightning strike).
l Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewelry, paper-clips etc.) or liquids can get inside
the system (risk of electric shock, short circuit).

2.1 Overview
2.1 Overview
The ETERNUS CS800 is Fujitsu’s entry level and midrange disk backup solution that
integrates data deduplication and replication technology to connect backup and DR (disaster
recovery) protection across distributed corporate environments. The ETERNUS CS800 diskbased backup appliance uses Fujitsu’s patented data deduplication technology to increase
disk capacities by 10 to 50 times, and make WAN replication a practical, cost-effective part
of disaster recovery planning. The ETERNUS CS800 is designed for departmental and
medium business customers.
2.1.1 Disk-Based Backup Appliance
The ETERNUS CS800 system uses high speed disk RAIDs for backup data storage. In
comparison to a tape-based backup solution, the ETERNUS CS800 significantly reduces the
time required for backup/restore jobs and improves the reliability that backup jobs complete
within their planned backup window.
2.1.2 Advanced Data Deduplication Increasing Disk Retention for Backup Data
The ETERNUS CS800 leverages Fujitsu’s patented data deduplication technology (U.S.
Pat. No. 5,990,810) to dramatically increase the role that disk can play in the protection of
critical data. With the ETERNUS CS800 solution, users can retain 10 to 50 times more
backup data on fast recovery disk than with conventional arrays.
2.1.3 Remote Replication of Backup Data Providing Automated Disaster Recovery Protection
With the ETERNUS CS800, users can transmit backup data from a remote site to a central,
secure location to reduce or eliminate media handling. ETERNUS CS800 replication is
asynchronous, automated, and operates as a background process.

2.5 Data Reduction
2.5 Data Reduction
Data reduction is the process of reducing the amount of storage capacity required to store
your data. The ETERNUS CS800 systems provide two techniques to optimize the storage
space required on your system:
l "Data Deduplication" on page 34
l "Compression" on page 34
2.5.1 Data Deduplication
The ETERNUS CS800 system disk backup and replication systems use Fujitsu Technology
Solutions patented data deduplication technology to dramatically increase the role that disk
can play in data protection. With ETERNUS CS800 solutions, users can retain 10 to 50
times more backup data on fast recovery disk than with conventional arrays. This advantage
allows IT departments to cost-effectively retain months of backup data on disk for faster,
more reliable restores and more data recovery points. Fujitsu’s innovative implementation of
this core technology means that users do not have to compromise on performance to take
advantage of extended retention capability. Inline data flow provides streamlined
deduplication that offers a maximum combination of total system performance,
manageability, and value.
Fujitsu's deduplication technology uses a sub-file, variable-length approach to identify
redundant blocks in a data stream—blocks that have appeared before in the same dataset or
in datasets processed at an earlier time. When a block appears that has already been stored,
the ETERNUS CS800 system inserts a reference pointer to the earlier instance of the data
segment instead of storing another copy. The result is a dramatic reduction in the storage
capacity needed to store the data set, and a similar reduction in the bandwidth needed to
replicate deduplicated data sets over a network.
2.5.2 Compression
The ETERNUS CS800 systems use compression technology after duplicate blocks have
been identified and replaced as part of the deduplication process. With compression, unique
data that has been through the data deduplication process can be compressed at a typical
ratio of approximately 2:1. This enables you to maximize the storage capacity of your
system.
34 ETERNUS CS800
Page 35
2.6 Space Reclamation
The space reclamation process performs multiple functions on the ETERNUS CS800.
When data is deduplicated it is stored in a block pool - a pool of all unique data blocks that
were captured during the data deduplication cycle. When subsequent backup jobs occur, the
data deduplication engine searches for new data entering the ETERNUS CS800 and uses a
variable length compression algorithm to compare new data to existing data in the block pool.
Unique blocks are added to the block pool and known blocks are indexed.
The space reclamation function searches the blockpool for data blocks that are not
referenced by any pointers (that is, the files associated with the block have been expired and
removed). Once such a data block is identified, the block is removed to make the space
reusable.
For correct system operation, space reclamation must be run at regular intervals (at least
once a week). Fujitsu Technology Solutions recommends creating a schedule to
automatically run space reclamation (see "Scheduling Space Reclamation" on page 293).
It may be beneficial to schedule space reclamation for a time when other operations are not
normally being carried out. Therefore it is important to know when to schedule the space
reclamation process. As best practice it is recommended that this process commences at
least two hours after your backup job has completed on a daily basis. It is far more efficient to
process a day’s worth of new data than a week’s worth.
2 System Description
2.7 Remote Replication
Today most backup occurs on isolated devices, making it difficult to deploy disk backup
when disaster recovery protection is required. ETERNUS CS800 solutions use data
deduplication and replication to decrease by up to 50 times the bandwidth required to move
backup data over networks and between sites. This dramatic gain makes it practical and
cost-effective for users to replicate backup data over WANs for secure, network-based
disaster recovery protection, and it lets users combine rapid, local restores with sound
disaster recovery protection.
With ETERNUS CS800 replication, users can transmit data from a single site or multiple
sites to a central location using any ETERNUS CS800.The replication is an asynchronous,
automated background process that includes encryption of data in transit. This model for
protecting the distributed enterprise allows users to combine disk, replication, and tape for an
optimal combination of performance, simplicity, and security.
For more information on implementing a replication plan, see "ETERNUS CS800 Replication
Overview" on page 363.
ETERNUS CS800 35
Page 36
2.8 Storage Presentation
A ETERNUS CS800 can only replicate data to an ETERNUS CS800 that supports the
same protocol as the ETERNUS CS800 (NAS or VTL). That is, an ETERNUS CS800
VTL system can only replicate data to a ETERNUS CS800 that supports VTL.
2.8 Storage Presentation
The ETERNUS CS800 presents its disk storage using multiple protocols:
l "Virtual Tape Storage" on page 36
l "Network Attached Storage (NAS)" on page 37
l "OpenStorage (OST)" on page 39
2.8.1 Virtual Tape Storage
A virtual tape storage or virtual tape library (VTL) presentation allows the storage space on
these hard drives to appear to the backup application as tape cartridges (DLT or LTO). Data
is stored on the hard drives through an interface that appears as a tape library, with virtual
cartridges, virtual drives, and a virtual changer mechanism. An ETERNUS CS800 with a
VTL or Multi-Protocol configuration can be configured to present multiple VTL interfaces of
different sizes and types at once. This allows backup applications to recognize and integrate
a ETERNUS CS800 system into a data center environment just like one or more physical
tape libraries. ETERNUS CS800 provides a number of tape drive and library emulations
including the tape drive emulations:
l IBM LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, or LTO-5
l HP LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, or LTO-5
and the library emulations:
l Fujitsu CS-TL
l ADIC Scalar i2000, or ADIC Scalar i500
36 ETERNUS CS800
Page 37
Figure 4: Virtual Tape Library (VTL)
2.8.2 Network Attached Storage (NAS)
The ETERNUS CS800 system has the ability to serve as a NAS backup system (see
"Network Attached Storage (NAS)" on page 37) where the following protocols are supported:
l "CIFS Protocol" on page 37
l "NFS Protocol" on page 38
2 System Description
Figure 5: NAS Backup using CIFS and NFS
NAS shares are optimized for backup (i.e. typically large files) rather than file
sharing. When used with many small files, the performance may be degraded.
2.8.3 CIFS Protocol
The CIFS (Common Internet File System) protocol defines a standard for remote file access
from many computers at a time in Windows environments.
ETERNUS CS800 37
Page 38
2.8 Storage Presentation
Active Directory Support
The ETERNUS CS800 supports ADS (Active Directory Services) as well as ACLs (Access
Control Lists). This provides the following benefits:
l Compatibility with CIFS domains - NAS shares are able to join CIFS domains and
use domain authentication.
l Precise control of file system permissions - Administrators can specify which users
and groups can perform what actions.
l Robust administrative support - Administrators have the same implicit permissions as
they do in Windows operating systems.
Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2, and Windows 2012 R2 are supported for Active
Directory domain membership.
When you create a CIFS share, the initial permissions are the same as the default
permissions for a Windows 2003 share with the addition of an ACE (Access Control
Entry) that permits full access to the share for all authenticated users. Administrators
can choose to remove this full access ACE, set up custom permissions, or leave the
ACL (Access Control List) as is if the server is set up in a fully trusted environment.
2.8.4 NFS Protocol
The NFS (Network File System) protocol allows network users to access shared files stored
on computers of different types. NFS provides access to shared files through an interface
called the Virtual File System (VFS) that runs on top of TCP/IP. With NFS, computers
connected to a network operate as clients while accessing remote files, and as servers while
providing remote users access to local shared files. This protocol is used with UNIX and
Linux networks. It can also be used with Windows networks.
38 ETERNUS CS800
Page 39
2.8.5 OpenStorage (OST)
With the OST presentation, the ETERNUS CS800 system presents storage servers to a
Symantec NetBackup or Backup Exec media server through a specific Symantec protocol. A
storage server consists of logical storage units (LSUs), which are similar to directories in a
NAS file system or tape cartridges in a VTL partition.
The OST presentation requires the Symantec NetBackup (7.1.x or later) or Backup Exec
2010 R3 or later host application and the OST Plug-in client installation on the media server.
Windows 2012 64-bit requires Symantec NetBackup (7.6 or later) or Backup Exec 2014
or later.
Plug-in clients are host-OS dependent and are supplied by Fujitsu Technology Solutions. To
use the ETERNUS CS800 in OST mode, you must configure an OST storage server and
LSUs on the ETERNUS CS800. You must also map the LSUs on the NetBackup server so
that NetBackup can perform backups and restore from them. Additionally, policies for
optimized duplication (OST replication) and OST direct to tape may need to be set on the
NetBackup server.
2 System Description
Figure 6: OpenStorage (OST) Example
2.9 Path to tape (PTT)
The path to tape (PTT) capability allows writing data stored in the ETERNUS CS800 to a
tape library which is attached to an FC port of the ETERNUS CS800 system. With path to
ETERNUS CS800 39
Page 40
2.10 ETERNUS CS800 Advanced Reporting
tape, backup data can be moved directly from the ETERNUS CS800 system to a tape library
without the need to travel through a backup host. A common use case for PTT is to create
removable media for long term storage. Path to tape is available on all ETERNUS CS800
models with FC port option. PTT is supported by a number of backup applications
including:
l Symantec™ NetBackup™
l Symantec™ Backup Exec
l Oracle® Secure Backup
l Atempo Time Navigator™
l EMC® Networker before version 8.1
2.10 ETERNUS CS800 Advanced Reporting
Fujitsu Technology Solutions ETERNUS CS800 Advanced Reporting works with all
ETERNUS CS800-Series disk backup systems. ETERNUS CS800 Advanced Reporting
combines comprehensive performance data logging with powerful visual reporting and
analysis tools to help you identify potential problems and optimize system operation. For
more information, refer to the Advanced Reporting User’s Guide.
2.11 Network Configuration
During network configuration, each individual interface on the ETERNUS CS800 can be
configured as a subnet with its own network settings. Each physical Ethernet port can be
configured as an interface. In addition, you can also create bonded interfaces (logical ports)
consisting of two or more physical ports.
Keep in mind that any traffic can pass through any of the configured Ethernet ports. This
means that the routing of different traffic types, as well as firewall capability, must be
controlled using the network infrastructure (routers and switches) that the ETERNUS CS800
is connected to.
For more information about configuration network settings, see "Network" on page 319.
Each configured network interface requires its own set of network settings (IP address,
network mask, and gateway).
For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network switch is required. The
ETERNUS CS800 bonding settings must match the switch settings. If the switch settings
and the ETERNUS CS800 settings do not match, your system may become inaccessible
through the switch.

Each configured network interface requires its own set of network settings (IP
address, network mask, and gateway). of Linux.
CAUTION!
For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network switch is required. (A
network switch is not supplied with the ETERNUS CS800).The ETERNUS CS800
bonding settings must match the switch settings. If the switch settings and the
ETERNUS CS800 settings do not match, your system may become inaccessible
through the switch.
Performance Guidelines
The throughput and resilience of a ETERNUS CS800 depends on various parameters,
such as
l on the model and configuration level (Entry/Scale, interfaces, the number of disk drives)
l the data which should be backed up (deduplicable, compressible, new or already stored
in the blockpool)
l the backup software and the method used by it
l the client operating system
l the presentation layer (NFS, CIFS, VTL, OST)
l non-backup jobs performed in parallel (replication, space reclamation)
Therefore a general recommendation cannot be given here. As a rough guideline only: If each
backup file/job written concurrently to the system is considered as a stream, maximum of
throughput is reached with 16 to 32 (Scale) or 5 to 16 (Entry) streams in parallel. The
given ranges are appropriate for the configuration levels and the presentation layers used in
parallel.
NAS shares provided by ETERNUS CS800 are optimized for backup. Using NAS
shares to store many small files may degrade the throughput of the system (e.g.
inline throughput, replication) significantly.

3.1 Server
3.1.3 Connecting the servers to the mains
The ETERNUS CS800 servers are equipped with two hot-plug power supply units. If one
power supply unit is defective, then the other guarantees unimpaired operation. Each hot-plug
power supply unit can be replaced during operation.
CAUTION!
The server is automatically set to a mains voltage in the range 100 V - 240 V. You
may only operate the server if its rated voltage range corresponds to the local
mains voltage.
Connect the power cord with the insulated connector to the power supply unit of the
server, and plug the power plug into a grounded outlet on the mains socket strip on the
rack (see Technical Manual of the rack).
A phase redundancy in the power supply of the server can be set up if each of the
power supply units is either connected to two different phases or to two separate
circuits of the internal power supply network.
Using the cable clamp
You can secure the power cords in a cable clamp to ensure that the insulated connectors
cannot be disconnected from the server accidentally.
Figure 12: Cable clamp
1. Pull the cable clamp up (2).
2. Thread the power cord through the cable clamp (1).
3. Press the cable clamp down until it engages to secure the cable (3).
52 ETERNUS CS800
Page 53
Notes on connecting/disconnecting cables
CAUTION!
l Always read the documentation supplied with the device you wish to connect.
l Never connect or disconnect cables during a thunderstorm.
l Never pull on a cable when disconnecting it. Always take hold of the cable by
the plug. Be sure to wait for 10 seconds or more after shutdown before turning
the server on.
l Follow the sequences described below to connect or disconnect external
devices to or from the server:
Connecting cables
Turn off all power and equipment switches
Disconnect all power plugs from the properly grounded power outlets.
Connect all cables to the server and peripherals.
Plug all data communication cables into the utility sockets.
Plug all power cords into the properly grounded power outlets.
Disconnecting cables
Turn off all power and equipment switches.
Disconnect all power plugs from the properly grounded power outlets.
Unplug all data communication cables from the utility sockets.
Disconnect the relevant cables from the server and all the peripherals
3 Hardware Description
For connecting or disconnecting LAN cables, the server does not need to be
powered off. To avoid loss of data either stop the I/O or make sure the cable is
redundant, i.e. a member of a bond.
Information for ensuring electromagnetic compatibility.
All data and signal cables must have sufficient shielding. The use of cable type S/FTP Cat5e
or better is recommended. Use of unshielded or badly shielded cables may lead to increased
emission of interference and/or reduced fault-tolerance of the device.

The rack systems from Fujitsu (PRIMECENTER Rack) support the installation of
ETERNUS CS800 S6 components. Installation in most current rack systems from other
manufacturers is also supported.
To ensure proper ventilation, any unused areas in the rack must be sealed using dummy
covers. Ventilation takes place from the front to the back and may not be obstructed! The
power is supplied via the multiple socket outlets fitted in the rack.
PRIMECENTER Rack
The main features of the rack systems from Fujitsu are as follows:
l rail systems that can be mounted without tools
l support systems having a linear alignment feature to ensure that they can be adjusted to
different rack depths
Asymmetrical PRIMECENTER Rack provides an enhanced cable management in the lateral
rack area.
Installation of the cable management is described in detail in the Technical Manual for the
respective rack.
3rd Party Racks
Installation in most current rack systems from other manufacturers (3rd party racks) is
also supported. For details please contact your sales representative.

5 Installing the ETERNUS CS800 S6 Modules
It is recommended to install the ETERNUS CS800 system in a controlled or
restricted area to prevent access by untrained personnel. In addition, it is
recommended that system installation is performed only by qualified IT personnel.
Installing the ETERNUS CS800modules in a rack consists of the following steps:
1. "Locating the Mounting Position" on page 82
2. "Installing the components in the rack" on page 85
3. "Cabling the ETERNUS CS800 S6 System" on page 92
Necessary tools
Provide the following tools for unpacking and installing the ETERNUS CS800 system:
l #2 Phillips and Torx 20 screwdriver
Taking ESD precautions
Some components within the ETERNUS CS800 system contain static-sensitive parts. To
avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe the
following precautions:
l Keep the system turned off during all installation procedures.
l Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for installation.
l Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside their protective
shipping bag or on an antistatic mat.
l Avoid touching connectors and other components.
Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower relative humidity
and are more likely to produce static electricity.
CAUTION!
Do NOT discard the packing materials after the system is unpacked. The packaging
materials must be used if the system is relocated.
WARNING!
The server PRIMERGY RX2540 M1 weighs 25 kg (55 lbs). The storage module
ETERNUSJX40 S2 weighs 35 kg (77 lb). Also the controller enclosure and each drive
enclosure of the ETERNUSDX100 S3 weighs 35 kg (77 lb). Two people are required to
lift either chassis.
ETERNUS CS800 81
Page 82
5.1 Locating the Mounting Position
5.1 Locating the Mounting Position
The ETERNUS CS800 S6 system is designed to fit in a standard 19" wide rack. It is
important for the chassis installation to locate the hole pattern in the rack rails. You must
allow 2 HU (3.5") of vertical space for the server module and 2 HU (3.5") of vertical space for
each storage module installed in the rack.
WARNING!
If the rack is empty at the time of installation, do NOT install the ETERNUS CS800 S6
components too high in the rack. The weight of the components may cause the rack to
become "top heavy" and unstable if installed in the top of an empty rack.
CAUTION!
The storage expansion modules (ETERNUS DX100 S3 resp. ETERNUS JX40 S2) are
preconfigured in the factory and labeled with identifiers. The sequence of these
identifiers must be observed precisely when they are mounted and connected to each
other. Otherwise the system will not work and might get damaged.
The labels with the numbers assigned in the factory are affixed at the right flange of the
front side and at the ID card on top of the cover as described in figure below.
Figure 48: Labels on Front and Rear of the Storage Expansion Module
The ETERNUS CS800 S6 Entry model without the JX40 S2 option can be mounted to any
free 2HU space in the rack (like any other server).
With the other models, which are either already delivered with additional storage components
or at least have the option of an appropriate expansion later on, it is recommended to position
the different components of the system in the following order:
Entry with JX40 S2 Option
The server has to be mounted either immediately above or under the optional JX40 S2
storage module. If the system is initially used without JX40 S2, it might be useful to preserve
82 ETERNUS CS800
Page 83
5 Installing the ETERNUS CS800 S6 Modules
an appropriate free space (2 to 6 HU) for storage expansion with up to three modules (see the
figure below for a graphical representation).
The maximum length of the cable between the server and the first JX40 S2
module (JX40-1) is 3.5m and the cables between the JX40 S2 modules have a
maximum length of 1.1m. Using longer cables may cause malfunction with a risk
of data loss!
Figure 49: Recommended Positions of the Modules in the Rack for Entry
CAUTION!
The JX40 S2 storage modules are preconfigured and assigned by numbers in the
factory. This sequence must be observed precisely when they are mounted. Otherwise
the system does not work.

5.3 Cabling the ETERNUS CS800 S6 System
This chapter provides cabling diagrams for the different ETERNUS CS800 S6
configurations.
In order to set up the mains connection of the system with phase redundancy, the two power
supply units of each module must be connected to two different phases or to two different
circuits of the rack installation.
To safeguard backups in the event of a power outage, it is recommended that you
connect the ETERNUS CS800 S6 to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).
92 ETERNUS CS800
Page 93
5 Installing the ETERNUS CS800 S6 Modules
The table below summarizes the different types of cables used for cabling of the offered
ETERNUS CS800 S6 configurations.
Every FC port can be configured for PPT.
Initially all FC ports are configured with the VTL target role. The port role can be
changed on page Configuration > System > FC Initiators & Targets of the Remote
Management Console.
Connecting the iRMC port is possible but typically not necessary. For example the
monitoring of the server hardware is included to the general monitoring provided by the
ETERNUS CS800 itself.
The service port of the CS800 should not be connected to the LAN.
CS800 Labelsheet
Together with each ETERNUS CS800 S6 a label sheet is delivered. The stickers on it are
intended to label the storages modules and their power cables (CE, DE-x, JX40-x) as well as
the internal LAN and FC cables to connect the DX100 to the server of the Scale model.
The cells within the tables below should represent the labels. All components delivered with
the initial order of the system are already labeled in the factory, i.e. the appropriate positions
at the sheet will be empty. The remaining labels are either obsolete (e.g. for a different model
of ETERNUS CS800 S6) or may be needed in the future to label additional storage modules
purchased for system enhancement.
