Introduction

IBM® System StorageTM DR550, one of IBM’s Data Retention offerings, is an integrated offering for clients that need to retain and preserve electronic business records. The DR550 packages storage, server and software retention components into a lockable cabinet.

Integrating IBM System P5 servers (using POWER5™ processors) with IBM System Storage and TotalStorage products and IBM System Storage Archive Manager software, this system is designed to provide a central point of control to help manage growing compliance and data retention needs. The powerful system, which fits into a lockable cabinet, supports the ability to retain data and helps prevent tampering alteration. The system’s compact design can help with fast and easy deployment, and incorporates an open and flexible architecture.

To help clients better respond to changing business environments as they transform their infrastructure, the DR550 can be shipped with as few as 5.6 terabytes of physical capacity and can expand up to 89.6 terabytes, of physical capacity (equal to 89.6 million full-length novels) to help address massive data requirements.

The DR550 is available to be sold by IBM Business Partners certified on all of the solution components as well as by IBM Direct.

Innovative Technology

At the heart of the offering is IBM System Storage Archive Manager. This new industry changing software is designed to help customers protect the integrity of data as well as automatically enforce data retention policies. Using policy-based management, data can be stored indefinitely, can be expired based on a retention event, or have a predetermined expiration date. In addition, the retention enforcement feature may be applied to data using deletion hold and release interfaces which hold data for an indefinite period of time, regardless of the expiration date or defined event.

The policy software is also designed to prevent modifications or deletions after the data is stored. With support for open standards, the new technology is designed to provide customers flexibility to use a variety of content management or archive applications.

The System Storage Archive Manager is embedded on an IBM System P5 520 using POWER5+ processors. This entry-level server has many of the attributes of IBM’s high-end servers, representing outstanding technology advancements.

Tape storage can be critical for long-term data archiving, and IBM provides customers with a comprehensive range of tape solutions. The IBM System Storage DR550 supports IBM's TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3592, IBM System Storage TS1120 drive, and the IBM Linear Tape Open family of tape products. Write Once Read Many (WORM) cartridges are recommended due to the permanent nature of data stored with the DR550, it is strongly recommended that the 3592 with WORM cartridges be used to take advantage of tape media encoded to enforce nonrewrite and non-erase capability. This complementary capability will be of particular interest to customers that need to store large quantities of electronic records to meet regulatory and internal audit requirements.

The DR550 is available in two basic configurations: single node (one POWER5+ server) and dual node (two clustered POWER5+ servers).

IBM System Storage DR550 Version 3.0 ------17 March 2006 Page 7

Hardware Overview

The DR550 includes one or two IBM System P5 520 servers running AIX® 5.3. When configured with two 520 servers, the servers are setup in an HACMP™ 5.3 configuration. Both P5 520s have the same hardware configuration. When configured with one 520 server, no HACMP software is included.

IBM System P5 520

The IBM System P5 520 (referred to hereafter as the P5 520 when discussing the DR550) is a costeffective, high performance, space-efficient server that uses advanced IBM technology. The P5 520 uses the POWER5+ microprocessor, and is designed for use in LAN clustered environments.

The P5 520 is a member of the symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) UNIX servers from IBM. The P5 520 (product number 9131-52A) is a 4-EIA (4U), 19-inch rack-mounted server. The P5 520 is configured as a 2-core system with 1.9 GHz processors. The total system memory installed is 1024 MB.

The P5 520 includes six hot-plug PCI-X slots, an integrated dual channel Ultra320 SCSI controller, two 10/100/1000 Mbps integrated Ethernet controllers, and eight front-accessible disk bays supporting hot-swappable disks (two are populated with 36.4 GB Ultra3 10K RPM disk drives). These disk bays are designed to provide high system availability and growth by allowing the removal or addition of disk drives without disrupting service. The internal disk storage is configured as mirrored disk for high availability.

Additional features are designed into pSeries servers to provide an extensive set of reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features such as improved fault isolation, recovery from errors without stopping the system, avoidance of recurring failures, and predictive failure analysis.

Additional information on the P5 520 server is available at www.ibm.com/redbooks.

Management Console

Included in the DR550 is a set of integrated management components. This includes the Hardware Management Console (HMC) as well as a flat panel monitor, keyboard and mouse. The HMC (7310-CR3) is a dedicated rack-mounted workstation that allows the user to configure and manage call home support. The HMC has other capabilities (partitioning, Capacity on Demand) that are not used in the DR550. The HMC includes the management application used to setup call home. To help ensure console functionality, the HMC is not available as a general purpose computing resource. The HMC offers a service focal point for the 520 server(s) that are attached. It is connected to a dedicated port on the service processor of the POWER5 system via an Ethernet connection. Tools are included for problem determination and service support, such as call-home and error log notification, through the internet or via modem. The customer will need to supply the connection to the network or phone system. The HMC is connected to the keyboard, mouse and monitor installed in the rack.

The IBM 7316-TF3 is a rack-mounted flat panel console kit consisting of a 17 inch (337.9 mm x

270.3 mm) flat panel color monitor, rack keyboard tray, IBM travel keyboard (English only), and the Netbay LCM switch. This is packaged as a 1U kit and is mounted in the rack along with the other DR550 components. The Netbay LCM Switch is mounted in the same rack space, located behind the flat panel monitor. The IBM Travel Keyboard is configured for English. An integrated “mouse” is included in the keyboard. The HMC and the P5 520 servers are connected to the Netbay LCM switch so that the monitor and keyboard can access all three servers.

IBM TotalStorage DS4100 Midrange Disk System and IBM TotalStorage DS4000 EXP100

The DR550 includes one IBM TotalStorage DS4100 Midrange Disk System (hereafter referred to as the DS4100) in DR550 configurations of 44.8 TBs or less. With 89.6 TB configurations, two DS4100s are included. The disk capacity used by the DS4100(s) is provided by the IBM TotalStorage EXP100 (hereafter referred to as the EXP100). Each EXP100 enclosure packaged with the DR550 includes fourteen 400 GB Serial ATA (SATA) disk drive modules, offering 5.6 Terabytes (TB) of raw physical capacity.

The DS4100 is an affordable, scalable storage server for clustering applications such as the Data Retention application. Its modular architecture —which includes Dynamic Capacity Expansion and Dynamic Volume Expansion—is designed to support e-business on demand™ environments by helping to enable storage to grow as demands increase. Autonomic features such as online firmware upgrades also help enhance the system’s usability.

One DS4100 supports up to 44.8TB of Serial ATA physical disk storage capacity (seven EXP100 enclosures). Thus for 89.6 TB configurations of the DR550, dual DS4100s are provided, each capable of supporting up to 44.8 TBs of raw disk capacity. Note, the first rack holds the first 44.8 TB and the second rack holds the second 44.8 TB.

The DS4100 is designed to allow upgrades while keeping data intact, helping to minimize disruptions during upgrades. The DS4100 also supports online controller firmware upgrades, to help

IBM System Storage DR550 Version 3.0 ------17 March 2006 Page 10

provide high performance and functionality. Events such as upgrades to support the latest version of DS4000 Storage Manager can also often be executed without stopping operations.

IBM TotalStorage SAN Switch

Two IBM TotalStorage SAN Fibre Channel Switches are used to interconnect both P5 520 servers with the DS4100s to create a SAN (dual node configurations). Tape attachment such as the 3592, TS1120 or LTO can be done using the additional ports on the switches. The switches (2005-B16) build two independent SANs, which are designed to be fully redundant for high availability. This implementation in the DR550 is designed to provide high performance, scalability, and high fault tolerance.

For the single node configurations, only one switch (2005-B16) included. This creates a single independent SAN and can be used for both disk and tape access.

The 2005-B16 is a 16-port, dual speed, auto-sensing fibre channel switch. Eight ports are populated with 2 gigabit shortwave transceivers when the DR550 is configured for single copy mode. Twelve ports are populated with 2 gigabit short wave tranceivers when the DR550 is configured for enhanced remote volume mirroring. This dual implementation is designed to provide a fault tolerant fabric topology, to help avoid single points of failure.

IBM SAN Fibre Channel Switch 2005-B16

Each switch in the DR550 comes pre-zoned by ports. Both switches are configured with distinct zones as illustrated below:

Accessing the Switch(es)

If you need to access the switch(es) to review the zoning information, error messages, or other information, you will need to connect Ethernet cables (provided by the customer) to the Ethernet port

IBM System Storage DR550 Version 3.0 ------17 March 2006 Page 11

on the switch. These cables would also need to be connected to the customer network. You can then access the switch using the IP address. The Userid is ADMIN and the password is PASSWORD. You should change this password to confirm with site security guidelines.

If you should need to review the configuration or zoning within the switches, the IP address for switch 1 is 192.168.1.31 and switch 2 (only installed in dual node configurations) is 192.168.1.32. These addresses should not be changed. To gain access to the switches via the IP network, you will need to provide Ethernet cables and ports on your existing Ethernet network. Once the connections have been made, then you can connect to the IP address and use the management tools provided by the switch.

Software Overview

High Availability Cluster Multi-Processing (HACMP) for AIX

The data retention application can be a business critical application. The DR550 can provide a high availability environment by leveraging the capabilities of AIX and High Availability Cluster Multi-Processing (HACMP) with dual P5 servers and redundant networks. This is referred to as the dual node configuration. IBM also offers a single node configuration that does not include HACMP.

HACMP is designed to maintain as operational applications such as System Storage Archive Manager if a component in a cluster node fails. In case of a component failure, HACMP is designed to move the application along with the resources from the active node to the standby (passive) node in the DR550.

Cluster Nodes

The two P5 520 servers running AIX with HACMP daemons are Server nodes that share resources—disks, volume groups, file systems, networks and network IP addresses.

In this HACMP cluster, the two cluster nodes communicate with each other over a private Ethernet IP network. If one of the network interface cards fails, HACMP is designed to preserve communication by transferring the traffic to another physical network interface card on the same node. If a “connection” to the node fails, HACMP is designed to transfer resources to backup node to which it has access.

In addition, heartbeats are sent between the nodes over the cluster networks to check on the health of the other cluster node. If the passive standby node detects no heartbeats from the active node, the active node is considered as failed and HACMP is designed to automatically transfer resources to the passive standby node.

Within the DR550 (dual node configuration only), HACMP is configured as follows:

• The clusters are setup in Hot Standby (active/passive) mode.

• The resource groups are setup in cascading mode.

• The volume group is setup in enhanced concurrent mode.

System Storage Archive Manager

IBM System Storage Archive Manager (this is the new name for Tivoli Storage Manager for Data Retention) is designed provide archive services and to prevent critical data from being erased or rewritten. This software can help address requirements defined by many regulatory agencies for retention and disposition of data. Key features include the following:

• Data retention protection This feature is designed to prevent deliberate or accidental deletion of data until its specified retention criterion is met. See “Data Retention Protection” for more information.

• Event-based retention policy - In some cases, retention must be based on an external event such as closing a brokerage account. System Storage Archive Manager supports event-based retention policy to allow data retention to be based on an event other than the storage of the data. See “Defining and Updating an Archive Copy Group” for more information. This feature must be enabled via the commands sent by the content management application.

• Deletion hold In order to ensure that records are not deleted when a regulatory retention period has lapsed but other requirements mandate that the records continue to be maintained, System Storage Archive Manager includes deletion hold. Using this feature will

IBM System Storage DR550 Version 3.0 ------17 March 2006 Page 15

help prevent stored data from being deleted until the hold is released. See “Deletion Hold” for more information. This feature must be enabled via the commands sent by the content management application.

• Data encryption - 144.8-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is now available for the

Archive API Client. Data can now be encrypted before transmitting to the DR550 and would then be stored on the disk/tape in an encrypted format.

While the software has been renamed, many of the supporting documents have not been renamed yet. You will see references to SSAM and TSM throughout this document. Overtime, the documentation will be updated to reflect the new naming conventions.

The System Storage Archive Manager API Client is used, in conjunction with System Storage Archive Manager server code, as the link to applications that produce or manage information to be stored, retrieved and retained. Content management applications, such as The IBM DB2® Content Manager, identify information to be retained. The content management application calls the System Storage Archive Manager (SSAM) archive API Client to store, retrieve and communicate retention criteria to the SSAM server. The SSAM API Client must be installed on the application or middleware server that is used to initiate requests to DR550. The application or middleware server must call the SSAM API to initiate a task within the DR550.

Some applications and middleware include the API client as part of their code. Others require it to be installed separately.

DS4000 Storage Manager Version 9.12.65

The DS4000 Storage Manager Version 9.12.65 software (hereafter referred to as Storage Manager) is only available as part of the DR550 and is not available for download from the web. This version has been enhanced to provide additional protection.

Storage Manager is designed to support centralized management of the DS4100s in the DR550. Storage Manager is designed to allow administrators to quickly configure and monitor storage from a Java™-based GUI interface. It is also designed to allow them to customize and change settings as well as configure new volumes, define mappings, handle routine maintenance and dynamically add new enclosures and capacity to existing volumes—without interrupting user access to data. Failover drivers, performance-tuning routines and cluster support are also standard features of Storage Manager.

Using the DS4000 Storage Manager, the DS4100 is partitioned into a single partition at the factory. As shown in later diagrams, the P5 520 servers are connected to the DS4100s via Ethernet cables. This connection is used to manage the DS4000. For the single node configuration, DS4000 Storage Manager runs in the P5 520 server. For the dual node configuration, DS4000 Storage Manager runs in both servers. Server #2 is used to manage DS4100 #1 and Server #1 is used to DS4100 #2 (if present in the configuration).

IBM System Storage DR550 Version 3.0 ------17 March 2006 Page 16

Note: only this special version of DS4000 Storage Manager should be used with the DR550. You should not use this version with other DS4000 or FAStT disk systems and should not replace this version with a standard version of DS4000 Storage Manager (even if a newer version is available).

Content Management Applications

For the DR550 to function within a customer IT environment, information appropriate to be retained must be identified and supplied to the DR550. This can be accomplished with a content management application. The content management application identifies information appropriate to be retained, and provides this information to the DR550 via the SSAM API Client.

IBM DB2 Content Manager

To assist customers in addressing needs for data retention, IBM delivers DB2 Content Manager along with business consulting services (as needed).

IBM® DB2® Content Manager provides a foundation for managing, accessing and integrating critical business information on demand. It lets you integrate all forms of content - document, web, image, rich media - across diverse business processes and applications, including Siebel, PeopleSoft and SAP. Content Manager integrates with existing hardware and software investments, both IBM and non-IBM, enabling customers to leverage common infrastructure, achieve a lower cost of ownership, and deliver new, powerful information and services to customers, partners and employees where and when needed. It is comprised of two core repository products that are integrated with System Storage Archive Manager for storage of documents into the DR550:

• DB2 Content Manager is optimized for large collections of large objects. It provides imaging, digital asset management, and web content management. When combined w/ DB2 Records Manager, it also provides a robust records retention repository for managing the retention of all enterprise documents.

• DB2 Content Manager OnDemand is optimized to manage very large collections of smaller objects such as statements and checks. It provides output and report management.

More information on the DB2 Content Manager portfolio of products can be found at the following web site: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/cm/

There are a number of applications that work with IBM Content Manager to deliver specific solutions. These applications are designed to use Content Manager functions and can send data to be stored in DR550.

IBM offers additional applications that are designed to work with the DR550 API. These include:

 IBM CommonStore for Exchange Server  IBM CommonStore for Lotus Domino  IBM CommonStore for SAP  IBM Content Manager for Message Monitoring and Retention (CM MMR) (with iLumin)  BRMS (iSeries) (also via IFS to BRMS)

Other Management Applications

You should consult with your application software vendor to determine if your applications support the DR550 API. A number of application providers have enhanced their software to include this support. The current list includes:

 AXS-One

Note* the actual size of the last LUN in each disk drawer is an approximate value. The actual size may be slightly different from what is published.

Backup times for the SSAM data base will vary, depending on the used portion of the allocated space. As the data base fills up (could take years to do this, you should expect longer backup times.

AIX settings

The following has been setup for the AIX server(s)

• Paging space has been increased by 1536 MB. Now DR550 has a paging space of 1536 + 512 = 2048 MB paging space.

• Changed TCP parameter in AIX rfc1323 = 1 <==== the default value was 0.

In addition, FTP and Telnet services have been shut down. All other ports/sockets are blocked with the exception of those needed by AIX, HACMP and System Storage Archive Manager

IBM System Storage DR550 Version 3.0 ------17 March 2006 Page 28

System Storage Archive Server Configuration

The System Storage Archive Manager Server settings on the DR550 are (these settings are different than the default settings. Other parameters use the default settings.

ARCHIVERETENTIONPROTECTION ON TCPWINDOWSIZE 63 TCPNODELAY YES BUFFERPOOL 512000 SELFTUNEBUFPOOLSIZE NO TXNGRPMAX 512 COMMTIMEOUT 300 DBPAGE SHADOW YES MAX SESSIONS 100

The following files have been set at the factory:

1. Defined /tsm/files/devconfig (keeps System Storage Archive Manager device configuration

to help in rebuilding the System Storage Archive Manager server within DR550 in case of System Storage Archive Manager server loss).

2. Defined /tsm/files/volhist (keeps track of volumes used by System Storage Archive

Manager).

See the Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX Administrator’s Guide and Reference manuals for information on customizing these settings for your needs.

System Storage Archive Manager Database and Logs

For the DR550 configurations (5.6 TB and 11.2 TB), a 100 GB logical volume for the SSAM database and a 15 GB logical volume for the SSAM log have been preconfigured. For the 22.4 TB configuration, a 300 GB logical volume for the SSAM database and a 15 GB logical volume for the SSAM log has been preconfigured. For the 44.8 and 89.6 TB configurations, a 400 GB logical volume for the SSAM database and 15 GB logical volume for the SSAM log have been preconfigured. The System Storage Archive Manager database and log volumes are configured using DS4000 RAID5 storage. System Storage Archive Manager mirroring for the database and log volumes is not configured.

System Storage Archive Manager Disk Storage Pool

The DR550 has been preconfigured with a single disk storage pool (ARCHIVEPOOL). The raw logical volumes in the table above have been defined into the ARCHIVEPOOL.

System Storage Archive Manager Storage Management Policy

The DR550 default policy is defined (all are named STANDARD) and the Archive Copy Group in the STANDARD Management Class specifies the following:

Data is stored into ARCHIVEPOOL A chronological retention policy to retain the data for 365 days

See the Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX Administrator’s Reference, Guide, and Quick Start manual for more information on customizing the System Storage Archive Manager policy for your data environment.

Automated System Storage Archive Manager Operations

DR550 includes schedules used to automate System Storage Archive Manager server administrative commands. The schedules specify that the operations start and stop during defined time periods. You may want to change these start and stop windows to suit your situation. See the

IBM System Storage DR550 Version 3.0 ------17 March 2006 Page 29

TSM for AIX Administrator’s Guide and Reference manuals for help in modifying the administrative schedules.

Examples of schedules that are setup in the DR550 are:

 Backup of the System Storage Archive Manager database is scheduled to run daily at

8am.

 Maintain 3 copies of backup and delete older versions (scheduled a job to run daily at

23:59). Note: It is the responsibility of the customer to set up and verify schedules and database backups. You should verify that you have appropriate schedules in place to back up your database.

Routine Operations for System Storage Archive Manager

Monitoring the Database and Recovery Log Status

Monitor the System Storage Archive Manager database and recovery usage log to ensure that you have enough space available for efficient operation. You should pay particular attention to the maximum utilization percentage (%Util) for both. If more room is needed in that database or recovery log, shift resources by using the administrator functions outlined in the Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX Administrator’s Guide and Reference manuals.

Monitoring Disk Volumes

Monitor the status of the volumes for the Tivoli Storage database, recovery log, and the ARCHIVEPOOL storage pool. If any volumes have a status of Offline or Stale, you must determine why and correct the situation.

Monitoring the Results of Scheduled Operations

Monitor scheduled administrative to ensure that the schedules are running successfully. This is particularly relevant if you have set up scheduled backups of the database.

Installing and Setting Up System Storage Archive Manager API Clients

The DR550 storage interface is the System Storage Archive Manager API Client. You may need to install the System Storage Archive Manager API Client V5.2.2 or later on the server(s) that are sending data to the DR550. Your software vendor may offer specific recommendations for defining System Storage Archive Manager storage management policies, the System Storage Archive Manager client node names, and System Storage Archive Manager client Include-Exclude lists. You will also need to point to the network address of the DR550 in the System Storage Archive Manager Client Communications Options definition.

Safety Notices

A danger notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing death or serious injury. A caution notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing moderate or minor personal injury. Note: For a translation of these notices, see System Unit Safety Information, order number SA23-

2652.

Electrical Safety

Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnecting devices attached to the workstation.

DANGER

• An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

• Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.

• When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.

• Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.

• During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers, telephones, or station protectors for communications lines.

CAUTION: This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and plug for the user’s safety. Use this power cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock.

DANGER: To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect all power cables from the electrical outlet before relocating the system.

Laser Safety Information

CAUTION: This product contains a CD-ROM and a laser module on a PCI card, which are class 1

laser products.
