Copyright IBM Corporation 2001. All rights reserved.

Physical Installation
Hardware install - IBM CE

DS HMC - interna land external (if fitted)

Call Home and Remote Support
DS Storage Manager - CLI
Must use DS CLI package shipped with DS Code
DS Storage Manager - GUI
http://<ipaddress>:8451/DS8000/Logon
Note: DS Stoage Manger on Internal HMC can only provide real-time configuration

User Mangement

Default logon to DS GUI and CLI is admin/admin

Password must be changed straight away: chuser -pw passw0rd admin

Activation of License Codes

Required before any logical configuration can be done

Obtain machine information: serial number, machine signature
Ensure you have the IBM Licensed Function Authorisation Document
Go to http://www.ibm.com/storage/dsfa
Follow instrcutions and note down license actiation code
Apply activation codes to storage image using DS GUI

DS CLI
Must use CLI code shipped with DS code

Runs on all OS

Create profiles for each DS

Windows - stored in C:\Program Files\IBM\dscli\Profile\dsxxxx.profile

#
# DS CLI Profile
#
# Management Console/Node IP Address(es)
# hmc1 and hmc2 are equivalent to -hmc1 and -hmc2 command options.
hmc1: 9.149.20.163
hmc2: 9.149.20.173
#
# Default target Storage Image ID
# "devid" and "remotedevid" are equivalent to
# "-dev storage_image_ID" and "-remotedev storeage_image_ID" command options, respectively.
devid: IBM.2107-75AZRY1

Create Extent Pools

Each Extent Pool is either CKD or FB

RAID types not intermixed in same Extent Pool

Extent Pools associated with a server

Divided into equal sized extents

FB - 1 GB (binary)

Minimum of 2 Extent Pools

Maximum equivalent to number of Ranks

Recommendations

Only put Ranks of same speed and capacity in same Extent Pool
For performance create Extent Pools of a single rank only

Address Groups
Addresses are grouped into Address Groups of 4096
addresses

Each Address Group must be CKD or FB

No real impact to FB implementations

Logical Subsystems - LSS

No fixed association with device adapters or Ranks

Server affinity only

Even numbered LSS associated with server 0

Odd numbered LSS associated with server 1

FB LSS creation is implicit

LSS selection during volume creation results in LSS creation

Volume addressing

Format is hexadecimal XYZZ

X = Address group (0-F)
XY = LSS Number (00-FE)
ZZ = Volume Number (00-FF)

Recommendations

Create a single LSS for each Extent Pool

Define this during volume creation

Create FB Volumes
Logical Volumes formed of increments of extents

Minimum 1 extent
Maximum FB is 2TB

Volumes are defined in Decimal sizes

Each 1GB FB Binary Extent is 1.073741824 GB Decimal

Ensure OS support exists for larger LUNs

Maximum number of volumes is 65280

Create Volume Groups

Provides LUN masking feature

Volumes can be assigned to one or more volume groups

Up to 8320 Volume Groups

Any Host Port (or Host Group) can only access one Volume
Group

Volume Groups can be accessed by multiple hosts

Providing they use same blocksize and addressing mode

Data integrity reposnsibility of the host OS/software

Clustering support

Volumes can be asssigned to multiple Volume Groups

Mutliple hosts can be in the same Volume Group

Recommendations

Create one Volume Group per Hoat Group

Name Volume Groups with host names (up to 16 chars)

Create Hosts and Host Groups

Host attacments assigned as Host Connections

Individual host ports can be grouped into Host

Groups

Host Connection created by assigning FC HBA

WWN

Profiles used to identify host type

Recommendations

Group all host connections from a single host into a Host Group
