DANGER
Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack
system:
v Heavy equipment—personal injury or equipment damage might result if
mishandled.
v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always
install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install
servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not
place objects on top of rack-mounted devices.
v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to
disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect
power during servicing.
v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in
the same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in
one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.
v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous
voltage on the 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.
R001 Part 2 of 2
(R001 part 1 of 2)
CAUTION:
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures
will exceed the manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your
rack-mounted devices.
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that
air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used
for air flow through the unit.
v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the
supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power
connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the
rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
v (For sliding drawers): Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the
rack stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than
one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more
than one drawer at a time.
v (For fixed drawers): This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for
servicing unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the
xxii IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Installation Roadmap Guide
R002
drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become
unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
(R001 part 2 of 2)
CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves
rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you
relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building:
v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the
top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not
known, you must observe the following precautions:
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack
cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the
rack cabinet below the 32U level.
v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach
the rack cabinet from the suite.
v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded
rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for
the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.).
v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during
movement.
v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.
v When the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:
– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack
cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.
v If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in
the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also lower the leveling pads to
raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.

About this document xxxv
xxxvi IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Installation Roadmap Guide
Chapter 1. Overview
The IBM System Storage TS7650G ProtecTIER De-duplication Gateway (TS7650G)
is available in two configurations — stand-alone and clustered.
|
|
|
|
|
Note: A 3958 DD4 may be clustered with a 3958 DD3. IBM does not support
clustering a 3958 DD4 with a 3958 DD1.
Note: IBM does support installing two clustered pairs of TS7650 Gateway servers
in a single frame via the RPQ process. This document does not address that
configuration.
The purchase of the stand-alone gateway includes:
v One gateway server (IBM machine type and model 3958 DD4).
v One licensed, preinstalled copy of Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux®Advanced
Platform (version x86_64 or EM64T)
v One licensed, preinstalled copy of IBM ProtecTIER
Purchase of the clustered gateway includes:
v Two gateway servers, (IBM machine type and model 3958 DD4)
v One Cluster Connection Kit (Feature Code 3447) consisting of:
– One Western Telematic IPS-800E-D20 remote network power switch and
accompanying cables
– Two 1 Gb Ethernet switches and accompanying cables
v Two licensed, preinstalled copies of Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux®Advanced
Platform (version x86_64 or EM64T)
v Two licensed, preinstalled copies of IBM ProtecTIER
In order for either configuration of the TS7650G to be fully functional, additional
hardware components are required. These components are purchased separately
and, with the exception of the IBM TS3000 System Console (TSSC) and TSSC
Ethernet switch, must be installed and configured at the customer site before
TS7650G installation begins.
Note: If the customer is using a TSSC that already exists at their location, the TSSC
must include Feature Code 2719, and be at software level 5.5.22 or higher. See the
IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER Introduction and Planning Guide for the
TS7650G (3958 DD4), IBM form number GC53–1152 for additional information.
The lists below outline the additional recommended hardware components, based
on IBM best practices, for each configuration. IBM recommends using the
hardware components specified below to ensure optimal TS7650G functionality.
However, the actual components purchased and used are at the customer's
discretion, and may differ from those recommended.
Important:
This document references IBM 4.8 TB Fibre Channel Disk Controllers and IBM 7.2
TB Fibre Channel Disk Expansion Units in many of the hardware installation
figures, examples, and procedures.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2010 1
In addition to the IBM DS4700 disk controller, the TS7650G also supports the
DS5000 disk controller, the DS8000 disk controller and the XIV disk controller, as
well as various non-IBM storage solutions. If the customer has elected to use disk
storage components other than the IBM disk controllers mentioned above, the
figures, examples, and procedures in this document will not apply to the
configuration on which you are working. Therefore, it is suggested that you
determine the make and model of the disk storage components in use and, if
necessary, obtain the related product documentation before you begin installation
of the gateway.
The RAS code no longer sends call home packages for problems with any of the
disk storage products attached to the gateway including DS4700. DS5000, DS8000
and XIV.

Terminology used in this document
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. IBM does not support more than
one clustered pair of TS7650 Gateway servers in a single frame. The
TS7650G consists of the following:
Server There are three types of server that have been used in the
Gateway:
3958 DD4
This is a newer, higher performance server available in
December 2010. This server is based on the IBM System
x3850 X5 Type 7145-AC1. 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.
3958 DD3
This is a higher performance server available in March
2009. This server is based on the IBM System x3850 M2
Type 7233. When used as a server in the TS7650G, its
machine type and model are 3958 DD3. Use this machine
type and model for service purposes.
2 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Installation Roadmap Guide
3958 DD1
This is the original server available in August 2008. This
server is based on the IBM System x3850 M2 Type 7141.
When used as a server in the TS7650G, its machine type
and model are 3958 DD1. 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.
Under IBM best practices, the TS7650G also contains the following:
Disk controller
The customer must choose the disk controller for use with the
TS7650G. A list of compatible controllers is located at the IBM Tape

TS7650/TS7650G ISV and interoperability matrix document.
Disk expansion unit
The customer must choose the disk expansion unit for use with the
TS7650G. A list of compatible expansion units is located at the IBM
Tape Systems Resource Library website: http://www-03.ibm.com/
systems/storage/tape/library.html#compatibility in the
TS7650/TS7650G ISV and interoperability matrix document.
OpenStorage
OpenStorage allows ProtecTIER to be integrated with NetBackup to
provide the means for backup-to-disk without using a virtual tape library
(VTL) emulation. Using a plug-in that is installed on an
OpenStorage-enabled media server, ProtecTIER can implement a
communication protocol that supports data transfer and control between
the backup server and the ProtecTIER server. Therefore, to support the
plug-in, ProtecTIER implements a storage server emulation.
replication
A process that transfers logical objects like cartridges from one ProtecTIER
repository to another. The replication function allows ProtecTIER
deployment to be distributed across sites. Each site has a single or
clustered ProtecTIER environment. Each ProtecTIER environment has at
least one ProtecTIER server. The ProtecTIER server that is a part of the
replication grid has two dedicated replication ports that are used for
replication. Replication ports are connected to the customer's WAN and are
configured on two subnets as default.
replication grid
A set of repositories that share a common ID and can potentially transmit
and receive logical objects through replication. A replication grid defines a
set of ProtecTIER repositories and actions between them and is configured
using the ProtecTIER Replication Manager. The ProtecTIER Replication
Manager is a software component that is installed on a ProtecTIER server
or a dedicated host. The ProtecTIER Replication Manager should be able to
recognize all the members of the entire network the ProtecTIER Replication
Manager handles on both replication subnets. The ProtecTIER Replication
Manager is deployed separately from the ProtecTIER Manager on the
customer's ProtecTIER server. The ProtecTIER Replication Manager
manages the configuration of multiple replication grids in an organization.
Chapter 1. Overview 3
An agent on every node in each ProtecTIER server interacts with the server
and maintains a table of its grid members.
replication grid ID
A number from 0 to 63 that identifies a replication grid within an
organization.
replication grid member
A repository that is a member in a replication grid.
replication pairs
Two repositories within a replication grid that replicate from one to
another.
replication policy
A policy made up of rules that define a set of objects (for example, VTL
cartridges) from a source repository to be replicated to a target repository.
repository unique ID (RID)
A number that uniquely identifies the repository. The RID is created from
the replication grid ID and the repository internal ID in the grid.
replication timeframe
A scheduled period of time for replication to take place for all policies.
shelf A container of VTL cartridges within a ProtecTIER repository.
virtual tape library (VTL)
The ProtecTIER virtual tape library (VTL) service emulates traditional tape
libraries. By emulating tape libraries, ProtecTIER VTL enables you to
transition to disk backup without having to replace your entire backup
environment. Your existing backup application can access virtual robots to
move virtual cartridges between virtual slots and drives. The backup
application perceives that the data is being stored on cartridges while
ProtecTIER actually stores data on a deduplicated disk repository.
visibility switching
The automated process that transfers the visibility of a VTL cartridge from
its master to its replica and vice versa. The visibility switching process is
triggered by moving a cartridge to the source library Import/Export (I/E)
slot. The cartridge will then disappear from the I/E slot and appear at the
destination library's I/E slot. To move the cartridge back to the source
library, the cartridge must be ejected to the shelf from the destination
library. The cartridge will then disappear from the destination library and
reappear at the source I/E slot.
Server and Node

Chapter 3. Recommended TS7650G configurations
This chapter describes the recommended configurations for the TS7650G
stand-alone and clustered gateways.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For easier installation and maintenance, it is recommended that the components
included in the purchase of the TS7650G and the TSSC occupy one frame (the
server frame). There should be only one clustered pair of TS7650G servers per
frame, while the disk components occupy a second frame (the disk storage frame).
Figure 1 on page 11 and Figure 2 on page 12 show only the TS7650G components
installed in the server frame.
Important:
v IBM does support two clustered pairs of TS7650 Gateway servers in a single
frame via the RPQ process. This document does not address that configuration.
v Hardware components included in the purchase of the gateway are listed in
bold type below. Additional components used with the TS7650G are purchased
separately by the customer and may differ from the recommendations. A new
TSSC is ordered under FC 2732. If an existing TSSC is being used, it must
include Feature Code 2719. This feature provides a memory upgrade to 2 GB
total RAM and a second Ethernet card for the Service Console to allow
redundant connections into the service network. This feature only applies to
consoles shipped with features #2718, #2720, #2721 and #2730. See the IBM
System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER Introduction and Planning Guide for the
TS7650G (3958 DD4), IBM form number GC53–1152 for additional information.
v This document references IBM 4.8 TB Fibre Channel Disk Controllers and IBM
7.2 TB Fibre Channel Disk Expansion Units in many of the hardware installation
figures, examples, and procedures.
In addition to the IBM DS4700 disk controller, the TS7650G also supports the
DS5000 disk controller, the DS8000 disk controller and the XIV disk controller, as
well as various non-IBM storage solutions. If the customer has elected to use
disk storage components other than the IBM disk controllers mentioned above,
the figures, examples, and procedures in this document will not apply to the
configuration on which you are working. Therefore, it is suggested that you
determine the make and model of the disk storage components in use and, if
necessary, obtain the related product documentation before you begin
installation of the gateway.
v The RAS code no longer sends call home packages for problems with any of the
disk storage products attached to the gateway including DS4700. DS5000,
DS8000 and XIV.

application is provided on the IBM System Storage ProtecTIER Manager V2.5 DVD.
Storage Manager is used to monitor the health and connectivity status of the
recommended disk components, and to perform service and disk rebuilding tasks.
When extracting the .zip file, be sure to specify a target directory (such as
C:\StorageManager...) as a destination. Accepting the default destination will result
in an attempt to extract files to the CD-ROM drive (E:\) instead of to a location on
the hard drive, which will cause an error.

Chapter 4. Installing the TS7650G hardware
This chapter provides instructions for installing the TS7650G servers into the
recommended, customer-supplied 36u frame, and making all required power and
cable connections from the server to the hardware components recommended
under IBM best practices. To simplify installation and maintenance, it is
recommended that the components included in the purchase of the TS7650G,
including the TSSC and TSSC Ethernet switch, occupy one frame (the server
frame), while the disk components occupy a second frame (the disk storage frame).
|
|
Read this first
|
|
|
|
Attention: Any unused EIA units in the frame should be baffled, in order to
avoid recirculating air and overheating the system.
Read the notes below carefully. They provide important details regarding
installation of the gateway hardware components.
Important:
v This document references IBM 4.8 TB Fibre Channel Disk Controllers and IBM
7.2 TB Fibre Channel Disk Expansion Units in many of the hardware installation
figures, examples, and procedures.
In addition to the IBM DS4700 disk controller, the TS7650G also supports the
DS5000 disk controller, the DS8000 disk controller and the XIV disk controller, as
well as various non-IBM storage solutions. If the customer has elected to use
disk storage components other than the IBM disk controllers mentioned above,
the figures, examples, and procedures in this document will not apply to the
configuration on which you are working. Therefore, it is suggested that you
determine the make and model of the disk storage components in use and, if
necessary, obtain the related product documentation before you begin
installation of the gateway.
v The RAS code no longer sends call home packages for problems with any of the
disk storage products attached to the gateway including DS4700. DS5000,
DS8000 and XIV.
v The customer is responsible for ensuring that all hardware components other
than those included in the purchase of the TS7650G and the TSSC and the TSSC
Ethernet switch, are installed and configured before TS7650G installation begins.
v A USB keyboard and graphics-capable monitor are required to complete the
installation. These items are not provided in the TS7650G ship group; they must
be provided by the customer. The recommended screen resolution for the
ProtecTIER GUI is 1280 x 1024.
v Be sure to complete the installation of the TS7650G before installing any
miscellaneous equipment specification (MES) features. The installation
instructions for an MES feature assume that you are adding the feature to an
installed TS7650G.

Disk storage configuration guidelines
The Account/Sales team, Business Partner, and ultimately the customer, is
responsible for ensuring that the disk storage is installed and configured before
you start the TS7650G installation process. The installation also depends on having
a customer-provided frame available at the customer site.
Gateway servers can attach to a variety of disk storage technologies, which may
have different installation and support terms depending upon machine type.
Warranty service upgrades (WSUs) or an installation service contract may be
required to cover storage devices that are considered to be customer setup (CSU),
or not considered to be IBM setup such as third-party disk storage subsystems.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the IBM System Storage TS7650 Best Practices Guide for ProtecTIER v 2.5 and
TS7650G (Gateway) Attached Storage, IBM form number GA32-0646 for more
detailed information on how to set up IBM DS4700, DS5000, DS8000 and XIV
storage systems.
TS7650G sales agreements may include a frame and disk storage as part of the
order. However, installation of frames and disk storage are not included in the
gateway installation process, and will require additional planning and
coordination.
If the disk storage is not operational when you arrive at the customer site, take the
following steps:
v Assess the situation to determine whether you are capable of performing the
task yourself, or if additional IBM resources are required:
– You may perform physical disk storage installation if the machine types are
properly entitled. Note that advanced setup tasks, including LUN
configuration and/or mirroring, are outside the scope of normal installation
support and may warrant additional charges.
– If additional installation resources are required, contact your Service Delivery
Manager (SDM) or your next level of support for advice on how you should
proceed.
v In the event that IBM disk storage was purchased without IBM installation
services, inform the customer that a Service Contract 44 (SC44) is required for
disk storage and/or frame installation, and additional charges will apply.
Before you begin
The TS7650G installation requires participation from the customer, as well as the

Stand-alone gateway installation checklist
About this task
The checklist below outlines the tasks required to successfully install the hardware
in a stand-alone gateway configuration. If you are installing a clustered gateway,
use the “Clustered gateway installation checklist” on page 26.
Important:
This document references IBM 4.8 TB Fibre Channel Disk Controllers and IBM 7.2
TB Fibre Channel Disk Expansion Units in many of the hardware installation
figures, examples, and procedures.
In addition to the IBM DS4700 disk controller, the TS7650G also supports the
DS5000 disk controller, the DS8000 disk controller and the XIV disk controller, as
well as various non-IBM storage solutions. If the customer has elected to use disk
storage components other than the IBM disk controllers mentioned above, the
figures, examples, and procedures in this document will not apply to the
configuration on which you are working. Therefore, it is suggested that you
determine the make and model of the disk storage components in use and, if
necessary, obtain the related product documentation before you begin installation
of the gateway.
The RAS code no longer sends call home packages for problems with any of the
disk storage products attached to the gateway including DS4700. DS5000, DS8000
and XIV.

Installing the server
Use this procedure to install the server.
About this task
Important: The customer is responsible for ensuring that any recommended
hardware components that were not included in the purchase of the TS7650G, such
as disk controllers and disk expansion module, are installed in a frame, cabled, and
fully configured; before server installation begins.
Procedure
1. If any components installed in the server and/or disk storage frames are
powered-on, have the customer suspend all I/O activity, and then power-off
the components.
2. Physically install the server (or both servers, in a clustered gateway
configuration) into the server frame.
3. Once physical installation and labeling is complete, go to “Installing the TSSC
and Ethernet switch.”
Installing the TSSC and Ethernet switch
|
Use this procedure to install the TSSC and any related components.
Before you begin
Important: If the customer purchased a TSSC, you are required to install it and its
related components, along with the other gateway hardware. Failure to do so will
prevent the use of Call Home or IBM remote support.
Procedure
1. Physically install the TSSC and its related components into the server frame.
Use the documentation provided with the TSSC for installation instructions.
Attention: The recommended location for installing the TSSC is in EIA Unit
18. Use EIA holes 52, 53, and 54 for the installation of the rail assembly for the
TSSC. The rail pins should extend through holes 52 and 53 at the front and rear
of the frame. See Figure 8 on page 31 for the recommended mounting locations
for the TSSC.
The KVM and TSSC switch should be mounted directly under the TSSC in EIA
Unit 17. Use EIA holes 49, 50, and 51 for the installation of the KVM rail
assembly. Mounting clips should be placed in holes 49 and 51 (EIA Unit 17) in
the front and rear of the frame. Use the rail assembly mounting position at the
rear of the frame to secure the TSSC network switch when added after the
KVM assembly is installed.

installing a stand-alone gateway, go to “Applying cable labels” on page 35.
Chapter 4. Installing the TS7650G hardware 31
Important: The WTI network power switch (if included, or if clustering) should be
positioned within one meter or closer to the TS7650G servers. The cables for the
WTI network power switch must be able to reach the power distribution units
(PDUs), and the cables from the TS7650G servers must be able to reach the WTI
network power switch. The ability for one server to power-off the other server in a
clustered environment is a design requirement. For this to occur, both servers must
be plugged into the WTI network power switch at all times. In addition, locating
the servers within one meter of the WTI network power switch will allow the
servers to remain connected to the network power switch if the servers are placed
in a service position.
Procedure
1. Physically install the WTI network power switch into the rear of the server
frame. To do so:
a. Align the supplied threaded nut clips with the center holes at the top and
bottom of the vertical, rectangular opening in the upper-left corner of the
server frame.
b. Place the WTI switch into the opening with the power outlets at the top,
and secure the mounting brackets to the frame using the mounting screws.
Note: You may need to rotate the WTI switch's mounting brackets to
facilitate mounting the switch so that the power receptacles face outward,
toward the back of the frame. This is required so that the power receptacles
are easily accessible for power connections.

IBM best practices recommends installing the 1 Gb Ethernet switches near the
middle of the clustered gateway server frame. See Figure 2 on page 12.
When performing the installation, use caution to avoid dislodging or damaging the
cabling within the frame.
Procedure
1. Attach the mounting brackets and power cords to the Ethernet switches. To do
so:
Chapter 4. Installing the TS7650G hardware 33
a. Attach the mounting brackets to the short-sides of the Ethernet switch,
making sure to align the perforated fan vents on the switch with the cut-out
areas on the brackets. See Figure 10.
b. Thread the power cord through the holes in the mounting bracket, making
sure that the tab extensions on the power cord are positioned on the outside
of the bracket.
c. Attach a protective grommet to the power cord, and fit the grommeted part
of the cord into the retention slot on the top of mounting bracket.
d. Plug the power cord into the power receptacle on the Ethernet switch.
e. Insert screws through the tab extensions on the power cord and into the
mounting bracket. Tighten the screws to attach the power cord to the
bracket.

f. Place the air baffle on top of the mounting bracket without the power cord
(the left side bracket in the above illustration). Do not screw the air baffle to
the mounting bracket.
g. Repeat the above steps for the other Ethernet switch.
2. Attach the side rails to the server frame. To do so, working from the front side
of the frame:
a. Align the holes in the left side rail with the holes at positions 3 and 4 of the
frame. The guide pins on the side rail should point toward the back of the
server frame.
b. Insert one flanged screw into the hole at position 4 of the frame, tightening
the screw just enough to hold the rail in place.
c. Insert a second screw into the hole at position 3 of the frame, but do not
screw it in. Temporarily inserting this screw allows you to make sure that
both holes in the rail are properly aligned with both holes in the frame.
d. Tighten the screw in position 4, and then remove the temporary screw from
position 3.
e. Repeat the above steps for the right side rail and ensure that both side rails
are secure.
3. Install the air duct housing in the frame. To do so, working from the front side
of the frame:
34 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Installation Roadmap Guide
a. Partially insert the large air duct housing into the frame by sliding it along
the side rails.
b. Insert long screws into the holes located near the bottom of each side of the
air duct housing.
c. Slide the plastic spacers over the backs of the screws.
d. Slowly slide the air duct housing into the frame, taking care to align the
screws with the holes in the frame.
e. Tighten the screws to secure the air duct housing to the frame.
4. Install the Ethernet switches into the air duct housing. To do so, working from
the back side of the frame:
a. Carefully slide one of the Ethernet switches into the air duct housing at
position 3 on the frame, with the Ethernet ports facing outward.
b. Aligning the top hole in the mounting bracket on the Ethernet switch with
the guide pins on the rails.
c. Insert a short flanged screw into the bottom holes on each side of the
mounting bracket, and tighten the screws to secure the Ethernet switch to
the rails.
d. Repeat the steps above for the other Ethernet switch.
5. When installation of the 1 Gb Ethernet switches is complete, go to “Cabling a
clustered gateway” on page 49.

In addition to the IBM DS4700 disk controller, the TS7650G also supports the
DS5000 disk controller, the DS8000 disk controller and the XIV disk controller, as
well as various non-IBM storage solutions. If the customer has elected to use disk
storage components other than the IBM disk controllers mentioned above, the
figures, examples, and procedures in this document will not apply to the
configuration on which you are working. Therefore, it is suggested that you
determine the make and model of the disk storage components in use and, if
necessary, obtain the related product documentation before you begin installation
of the gateway.
The RAS code no longer sends call home packages for problems with any of the
disk storage products attached to the gateway including DS4700. DS5000, DS8000
and XIV.
However, if the IP address of an SMTP server is provided during RAS package
configuration, the disk storage subsystems that communicate with the RAS
package (which includes DS4700 and DS5000 if they have firmware levels
supported by RAS) will send problem reports to the customer via email.

Clustered fibre channel connections

This task describes the fibre channel connections for theTS7650G server in a
clustered configuration.
About this task
Important:
This document references IBM 4.8 TB Fibre Channel Disk Controllers and IBM 7.2
TB Fibre Channel Disk Expansion Units in many of the hardware installation
figures, examples, and procedures.
In addition to the IBM DS4700 disk controller, the TS7650G also supports the
DS5000 disk controller, the DS8000 disk controller and the XIV disk controller, as
well as various non-IBM storage solutions. If the customer has elected to use disk
storage components other than the IBM disk controllers mentioned above, the
figures, examples, and procedures in this document will not apply to the
configuration on which you are working. Therefore, it is suggested that you
determine the make and model of the disk storage components in use and, if
necessary, obtain the related product documentation before you begin installation
of the gateway.
The RAS code no longer sends call home packages for problems with any of the
disk storage products attached to the gateway including DS4700. DS5000, DS8000
and XIV.
However, if the IP address of an SMTP server is provided during RAS package
configuration, the disk storage subsystems that communicate with the RAS
package (which includes DS4700 and DS5000 if they have firmware levels
supported by RAS) will send problem reports to the customer via email.
