IBM Redbooks "IBM System Z10 Capacity on Demand"
Vervante | 2009 | ISBN: 0738432172 | 278 pages | PDF | 12 MB

The IBM® System z10TM servers provide a base for major server consolidation by further removing memory, processor, and channel constraints. Capacity on Demand offerings provide the flexibility to absorb temporary or permanent growth, maintenance, and disaster recovery situations in an enterprise. The Capacity on Demand solutions offer permanent or temporary increases in processor capacity and memory. This IBM Redbooks® publication discusses the following topics: * Understanding the common design of the various offerings * Hardware and software areas relevant to technical planning * Managing concurrent use of multiple Capacity on Demand offerings * User-controlled and autonomic management of z/OS® images using z/OS Capacity Provisioning This book is intended for systems engineers, infrastructure architects, and anyone wanting to understand Capacity on Demand functions. Readers are expected to be generally familiar with existing System z® technology and terminology.

IBM System Storage Ds3000: Introduction and Implementation Guide

IBM Redbooks "IBM System Storage Ds3000: Introduction and Implementation Guide"
Vervante | 2009 | ISBN: 073843213X | 802 pages | PDF | 15 MB

This IBM® Redbooks® publication introduces the IBM System Storage DS3000, providing an overview of its design and specifications, and describing in detail how to set up, configure, and administer it. Since the DS3000 has different disk attachment options, we describe these different methods, including SAS and Fibre Channel. You will learn how to install the DS3000 Storage Manager, and how to use its GUI and command-line options. We cover quick setup of the DS3000: creating arrays and logical drives and making the storage available to a hosts. You will also find advanced management tasks, including setting up and managing FlashCopy® and Volume Copy. Finally, we provide several configuration scenarios. The scenarios describe different methods for attaching various DS3000 models under Windows® and Linux® , including clustered and boot-from-SAN environments. These examples include step by step instructions using both the GUI as well as command-line scripts. This publication is intended for customers, IBM Business Partners, and IBM technical professionals who want to learn more about the capabilities and advanced functions of the DS3000 Series of storage servers with Storage Manager Software. It also targets those who have a DS3000 storage system and need detailed advice on how to configure and manage it.

Implementing the IBM System Storage San Volume Controller V4.3

IBM Redbooks "Implementing the IBM System Storage San Volume Controller V4.3"
Vervante | 2008 | ISBN: 073843163X | 970 pages | PDF | 15 MB

This IBM Redbooks publication is an updated, detailed technical guide to the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC), a virtualization appliance solution that maps virtualized volumes visible to hosts and applications to physical volumes on storage devices. Each server within the SAN has its own set of virtual storage addresses, which are mapped to physical addresses. If the physical addresses change, the server continues running using the same virtual addresses it had before. This means that volumes or storage can be added or moved while the server is still running. IBM's virtualization technology improves management of information at the block level in a network, enabling applications and servers to share storage devices on a network. This book covers the following areas: - Storage virtualization high-level overview - Architecture of the SVC - Implementing and configuring the SVC - Using virtualization and advanced copy services functions - Migrating existing storage to the SVC
