x IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i Models 110 and 210 Installation Guide

Chapter 1. General Information

This chapter provides an overview of the IBM®TotalStorage™IP Storage 200i and iSCSI clients, and lists the standard and optional features and hardware specifications for Models 110 and 210.

IBM IP Storage 200i

The IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i consists of the IBM 4125 IP Storage Models 110 and 210. These models are designed for workgroups, departments, and solution providers that have storage area network requirements across heterogeneous Microsoft clients). It includes preloaded code and offers virtually “Plug and Play” IP-based storage.

Model 110 is a tower unit that requires only power and network connections for setup. A conversion kit is available to convert Model 110 for rack mounting. The Model 210 can be mounted in a 5U rack drawer. In addition to power and network interfaces, the Model 210 has external SCSI connections for up to three storage units for a total rack requirement of 14U.

For additional storage, a Model EXP (also known as a storage unit) can be attached to the Model 210 to increase its storage capacity. Each storage unit supports up to 14 Ultra160 SCSI hard disk drives. It delivers fast, high-volume data transfer, retrieval, and storage functions across multiple drives.

Windows NT®, Windows®2000, and Linux clients (iSCSI

iSCSI clients

The iSCSI clients allow Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Linux computers to access storage over an IP network. The iSCSI client, as an iSCSI initiator, issues SCSI commands to the IP Storage 200i according to the IETF-defined protocol for IP storage.

When the iSCSI client is successfully connected to the IP Storage 200i, any disks assigned to the iSCSI client appear as a physical disk. Operations normally performed on a physical SCSI disk can be performed on an iSCSI disk.

Note: You cannot boot from an iSCSI disk; instead, the iSCSI disk is used for

storage after the computer is booted.

You can download the iSCSI client code from the following Web site:

v To maintain correct system cooling, do not operate the appliance for more than 2

minutes without either a hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in each drive bay. Therefore, if you are replacing a defective hot-swap drive, either leave the defective drive in place or put in a filler panel until you have a replacement drive.

v When you handle electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices (ESDs), take

precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices, refer to “Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices” on page 54.

v You cannot mix drives with different sizes in the Models 110 and 210. You can,

however, mix drives with different sizes in the storage unit Model EXP.

To install a hot-swap hard disk drive in a drive bay:

1. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap drive bays by inserting your finger in the depression on the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away from the appliance.

2. Install the hot-swap hard disk drive in the drive bay: a. Ensure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the hard disk

drive).

b. Align the rails on the hard disk drive assembly with the guide rails in the

drive bay.

c. Gently push the hard disk drive assembly into the drive bay until it connects

to the backplane.

d. Push the tray handle toward the closed position until it locks the hard disk

drive in place.

Chapter 2. Installation procedures 11

3. Check the hard disk drive status indicators to verify that the hard disk drives are operating correctly. The Hard Disk Drive Status LED is immediately to the right of the hard disk drive.

v When the green LED flashes rapidly (three flashes per second), the controller

is identifying the hard disk drive.

v When the green LED flashes slowly (one flash per second), the hard disk

drive is being rebuilt.

v When the amber LED is on continuously, the hard disk drive has failed.

Installing memory modules

Your appliance comes with two or more dual inline memory modules (DIMM) installed on the system board in the DIMM connectors. You can install an additional 1 GB of memory in both models.

Notes:

1. Memory modules must be installed or replaced in matched pairs.

2. The Models 110 and 210 are shipped with two DIMMs installed in DIMM slots 1 and 4. These slots must be filled for correct operation. You can install additional DIMMs as a matched pair in DIMM slots 2 and 3.

To install a memory module:

1. Prepare to install the memory module (see “Preparing to install a memory module”).

2. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 13).

3. Install the memory module (see “Installing and replacing a memory module” on page 14).

4. Replace the cover (see “Replacing the cover” on page 17).

Preparing to install a memory module

Before installing a memory module: v Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines specified under

“Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices” on page 54.

v The blue color on components and labels inside your Models 110 and 210

identifies touch points where a component can be gripped, a latch moved, and so on. The only exception to this is the power supplies, which are orange.

v Make sure that you have an adequate number of correctly grounded electrical

outlets for the engines and any other options that you intend to install.

v Before you begin installing components, read the safety information found in

“Appendix C. Safety notices” on page 47.

Memory modules must be added, installed, or replaced two modules at a time.

System reliability considerations: To help ensure correct cooling and system reliability, make sure that:

v Each of the drive bays has either a hard disk drive or a filler panel installed. v You replace a removed hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal. v The cover is in place during normal operations, or is removed for no longer than

30 minutes while the appliance is operating.

Note: The front door (Model 110) can be removed permanently without affecting

system reliability.

General safety

Follow these rules to ensure general safety: v Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after

maintenance.

v When lifting any heavy object:

1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.

2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.

Appendix C. Safety notices 51

3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to

lift.

4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes

the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects

that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb.) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.

v Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that makes

the equipment unsafe.

v Before you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the

customer’s personnel are not in a hazardous position.

v Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel,

while you are servicing the machine.

v Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over

it.

v Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine.

Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.

v Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a

nonconductive clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.

v Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your

clothing. Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.

v Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire,

attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

v After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.

Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.

v Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.

Electrical safety

Caution: Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables can be hazardous. To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunication systems, networks, and modems before you open the appliance covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.

Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.

Important: Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have

handles covered with a soft material that does not insulate you when working with live electrical currents.

Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber floor mats that contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.

52 IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i Models 110 and 210 Installation Guide

v Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or

electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then operate the switch or unplug the power cord quickly.

v Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has

hazardous voltages.

v Disconnect all power before:

– Performing a mechanical inspection – Working near power supplies – Removing or installing main units

v Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot

unplug it, ask the customer to power-off the wall box that supplies power to the machine and to lock the wall box in the off position.

v If you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe

the following precautions: – Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you.

Remember: Another person must be there to switch off the power, if necessary.

– Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment; keep

the other hand in your pocket or behind your back. Remember: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. By

observing the above rule, you may prevent a current from passing through your body.

– When using testers, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe

leads and accessories for that tester.

– Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you

from grounds such as metal floor strips and machine frames.

Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.

v Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational

condition.

v Do not use worn or broken tools and testers. v Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that

it has been powered-off.

v Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these

hazards are moist floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.

v Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental

mirror. The surface is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage.

v Do not service the following parts with the power on when they are removed from

their normal operating places in a machine:

– Power supply units – Pumps – Blowers and fans – Motor generators – Similar units

This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.

v If an electrical accident occurs:

– Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.

Appendix C. Safety notices 53

– Switch off power. – Send another person to get medical aid.

Safety inspection guide

The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe conditions on these products. Each machine, as it was designed and built, had required safety items installed to protect users and service personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items. However, good judgment should be used to identify potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM features or options not covered by this inspection guide.

If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the apparent hazard could be and whether you can continue without first correcting the problem.

Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present: v Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary voltage on the frame can

cause serious or fatal electrical shock).

v Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or bulging capacitor v Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware

The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a checklist. Begin the checks with the power off, and the power cord disconnected.

Checklist:

1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).

2. Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.

3. Check the power cord for: a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition. Use a meter to measure

third-wire ground continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground pin and frame ground.

b. The power cord should be the appropriate type as specified in the parts

listings.

c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.

4. Remove the cover.

5. Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any non-IBM alterations.

6. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.

7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.

8. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.

Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices

Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge.

Notes:

1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here.

54 IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i Models 110 and 210 Installation Guide

2. Make sure that the ESD protective devices you use have been certified (ISO

9000) as fully effective.

When handling ESD-sensitive parts:

v Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product. v Avoid contact with other people. v Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body. v Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and

retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap.

v Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface.

The mat is especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.

v Select a grounding system, such as those listed below, to provide protection that

meets the specific service requirement.

Note: The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect

against ESD damage.

– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire

ground.

– Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a

double-insulated or battery-operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.

– Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on AC-operated computers.

Grounding (earthing) requirements

Electrical grounding (earthing) of the computer is required for operator safety and correct system function. Proper grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified electrician.

Numerics

10BASE2. The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard that supports a transmission rate of 10 Mbps using RG 58 A/U and RG

58 C/U coaxial cable and BNC connectors. 10BASE2 is sometimes called thin Ethernet or thinnet.

10BASE5. The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard that supports a transmission rate of 10 Mbps using a 50-ohm coaxial cable with Type N connectors over a distance of up to 500 m (1640 ft) without using repeaters. 10BASE5 is sometimes called thick Ethernet or thicknet.

10BASE-FL. The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard that supports a transmission rate of 10 Mbps using optical fiber.

10BASE-T. The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard that supports a transmission rate of 10 Mbps using two twisted-pair

wires (Category 3 telephone wiring). 10BASE-T is the most widely deployed 10-Mbps Ethernet transmission protocol in use today.

100BASE-T. The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard that supports a transmission rate of 100 Mbps using 2 twisted-pair wires (Category 5 telephone wiring).

access control. In computer security, the process of ensuring that the resources of a computer system can be

accessed only by authorized users in authorized ways.

access control list (ACL). (1) In computer security, a collection of all access rights for one object. (2) In computer security, a list associated with an object that identifies all the subjects that can access the object and their access rights; for example, a list associated with a file that identifies users who can access the file and identifies their access rights to that file.

accessory. An IBM designation for a separately orderable part that (a) has no type number, (b) is for purchase only, and (c) does not receive normal IBM maintenance.

active-backup. A type of bond group that provides high availability. Two or more ports are combined under a logical bond group with one link active and the other link or links left idle. The idle links are ready to take over in the event that the currently active link fails. See bond group.

active dispatcher node. The engine within a load-balancing group that functions as the load balancer for that group. Because each NAS engine can have multiple physical and bonded interfaces, there can be more than one load-balancing engine per set of engines. Each load-balancing engine acts as an active backup for another load-balancing engine within that set. Alternatively, there can be only one active load-balancing engine per set of engines and one passive backup (standby) load-balancing engine.

actual data transfer rate. The average number of bits, characters, or blocks per unit of time transferred from a data source and received by a data sink.

adapter address. The hexadecimal digits that identify an adapter.

adaptive cut-through switching. A mode of operation for LAN switches in which they will automatically alternate

between cut-through switching and store-and-forward switching depending on user-configurable, per port, error-rate thresholds.

advertise. To pass routing reachability information along from one router to another.

all-routes broadcast frame. A frame that has bits in the routing information field set to indicate that the frame is to

be sent to all LAN segments in the network (across all bridges, even if multiple paths allow multiple copies of the frame to arrive at some LAN segments). The destination address is not examined and plays no role in bridge routing.

all-stations broadcast frame. A frame whose destination address bits are set to all ones. All stations on any LAN segment on which the frame appears will copy it. The routing information, not the destination address, determines which LAN segments the frame appears on. All-stations broadcasting is independent of all-routes broadcasting; the two can be done simultaneously or one at a time.

alternate adapter. In a personal computer that is used on a LAN and that supports installation of two network adapters, the adapter that uses alternate (not standard or default) mapping between adapter-shared RAM, adapter ROM, and designated computer memory segments. The alternate adapter is usually designated as adapter 1 in configuration parameters. Contrast with primary adapter.

alternate memory mapping. The mapping between adapter-shared RAM, adapter ROM, and the designated computer memory segments for an alternate network adapter.

ASM (see advanced system management).

assigned disk. A disk that is mapped to a logical drive.

asynchronous. A class of data transmission service whereby all requests for service contend for a pool of

dynamically allocated ring bandwidth and response time.

asynchronous data transfer. A physical transfer of data to or from a device that occurs without a regular or predictable time relationship following execution of an I/O request. Contrast with synchronous data transfer.

asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). A transfer mode in which the information is organized into cells; it is asynchronous in the sense that the recurrence of cells containing information from an individual user is not necessarily periodic. ATM is specified in international standards such as ATM Forum UNI 3.1.

asynchronous transmission. A method of transmission in which the time intervals between characters do not have to be equal. Start and stop bits are added to coordinate the transfer of characters.

ATM (see asynchronous transfer mode).

attach. To make a device a part of a network logically. Not to be confused with connect, which implies physically

connecting a device to a network. Contrast with connect.

attachment. A port or a pair of ports, optionally including an associated optical bypass, that are managed as a functional unit. A dual attachment includes two ports: a port A, and a port B. A single attachment includes a Port S.

attachment feature. (1) The circuitry by which some host processors or controllers are connected to a LAN access unit or connection point. (2) A feature that can be added to enhance the capability, storage capacity, or performance of a product, but is not essential for its basic work; for example, an adapter that allows a device to attach to a network.

attachment unit interface (AUI). Also known as thick Ethernet, thicknet or 10BASE5. This type of Ethernet connector has a 15-pin D type connector.

58 IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i Models 110 and 210 Installation Guide

attention (ATTN). An occurrence external to an operation that could cause an interruption of the operation.

AUI (see attachment unit interface).

authentication. In computer security, verification of the identity of a user or the user’s eligibility to access an object.

auto-removal. The removal of a device from data-passing activity without human intervention. This action is

accomplished by the adapter in the device, and can be initiated by a network management program.

coaxial cables, by matching the electrical characteristics of the cables.

bandwidth aggregation. The ability to establish more than one communication channel per connection.

bandwidth augmentation. The ability to add another communication channel to an already existing communication

channel.

bandwidth-distance product. The parameter specified for bulk fiber that defines the distance that a signal at a defined frequency can be transmitted with a specified loss, usually half the power at zero frequency. Use of a fiber with a bandwidth-distance product of 500 MHz-km would support 250 MHz for a distance of 2 km.

baseband LAN. A local area network in which data are encoded and transmitted without modulation of a carrier (T).

Basic Input/Output System. The personal computer code that controls basic hardware operations, such as

interactions with diskette drives, hard disk drives, and the keyboard.

baud.

storage port. A IP Storage 200i engine’s connection point to a storage client network. A storage port is a member of

a single fabric.

storage unit. Hardware that contains one or more drive bays, power supplies, and network interface. Some storage units contain RAID controllers; their storage unit is accessed by the appliance.

store-and-forward. A mode of operation for a LAN switch in which it completely checks every frame before forwarding, so customers can use the switch to isolate erroneous frames generated on one segment so they do not traverse the switch onto another segment.

STP (see shielded twisted pair).

SVN (see switched virtual network).

switched LAN. A LAN that has a dedicated connection for each user whereby the full bandwidth is available to the

workstation.

switched virtual networks (SVN). A comprehensive approach for building and managing switched-based networks. It combines the virtues of LAN switching, bridging, routing, ATM switching and other switched services.

synchronous data transfer. A physical transfer of data to or from a device that has a predictable time relationship with the execution of an I/O request.

synchronous transmission. A method of transmission in which characters are synchronized by the transmission of initial sync characters and a common clock signal.

tape device. A collection of tape units that come from one model type and serial number (such as all the LUNs of a

tape library).

tape unit. A tape drive or a robotics controller that is visible over a storage network. A tape unit is a member of a single storage network (of 1 to n fabrics), but can have 1 to n equivalent paths.

target. A collection of logical units that are directly addressable on the network. The target corresponds to the server in a client-server model.

TCP (see Transmission Control Protocol).

TCP/IP (see Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).

Telnet. In the Internet suite of protocols, a protocol that provides remote terminal connection service. It allows users

of one host to log on to a remote host and interact as directly attached terminal users of that host.

timeout. A time interval that is allotted for certain operations to occur, for example, a response to polling or addressing before system operation is interrupted and must be restarted.

Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM). A client/server product that provides storage management and data access services in a heterogeneous environment.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). In TCP/IP, a host-to-host protocol that provides transmission in an internet environment. TCP assumes Internet Protocol (IP) is the underlying protocol.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). The Transmission Control Protocol and the Internet Protocol, which together provide reliable end-to-end connections between applications over interconnected networks of different types.

True Image data view. A data view that allows the file to be restored in the event of accidental deletion. It consists of ‘point-in-time’ images that provide a near-instant virtual copy of an entire storage volume.

TSM (see Tivoli Storage Manager).

twinaxial cable. A three-conductor cable with the two inner conductors serving to carry the signal energy, and the

outer conductor serving as ground. The three conductors are insulated from each other.

universal serial bus (USB). A serial interface standard for telephony and multimedia connections to personal

computers.

unshielded twisted pair (UTP). A cable medium with one or more pairs of twisted insulated copper conductors bound in a single plastic sheath.

USB (see universal serial bus).

VLAN (see virtual local area network).

VLU. Volume logical unit.

VLUN (see virtual logical unit).

virtual connection. A connection set up between two points that appears to the user to be available as a dedicated

connection. This phantom connection can be maintained indefinitely or can be ended at will. The three states of a virtual connection are up, down or suspended.

virtual local area network (VLAN). A logical association of switch ports based upon a set of rules or criteria such as MAC addresses, protocols, network address, or multicast address. This permits resegmentation of the LAN without requiring physical rearrangement.

virtual logical unit (VLUN). A subset of a logical drive.

virtual port. Logical construct that corresponds to a logical adapter for a switched network port. A virtual port

organizes outgoing switched logical links by specifying incoming call acceptance criteria, by dynamically building and relating logical adapters with selected hardware adapter ports, and by specifying adapter-related data link control (DLC) profiles for use with those logical adapters.

VNI. Virtual network interface.

volume. (1) Unit of storage on disk, tape, or other data recording media. (2) A logical disk visible to the appliance

over a storage network. A member of a single storage network of 1 to n fabrics. It can have 1 to n path groups of 1 to n equivalent paths.

72 IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i Models 110 and 210 Installation Guide

Windows Internet Name Service (WINS). Program that provides a distributed database for registering and querying

dynamic NetBIOS names to IP address mapping in a routed network environment.*
