Introduction to archiving In this chapter we introduce the concept of archiving and its business requirements. We explain the need for retention managed data and briefly present the IBM Smart Archive Strategy. This strategy can help you realize the business value of your information while driving down costs and risks as well as ensuring that critical business content is properly retained and protected. As an element of the IBM Smart Archive Strategy, we highlight the features of the IBM Information Archive (Information Archive) and position them in this context. Copyright IBM Corp. 2010. All rights reserved.1 17. 1.1 The business need for archiving Information or data is essential to any business and for the most part can be considered a company asset. Examples of such data include contracts, CAD/CAM designs, aircraft build and maintenance records, and email, including attachments, instant messaging, insurance claim processing, presentations, transaction logs, web content, user manuals, training material, digitized information (such as check images, medical images, historical documents, and photographs), and much more. With that understanding, companies see a potential value in aggregating large amounts of data. In addition to the sheer growth of data, the laws and regulations governing the storage and secure retention of business and client information are increasingly becoming part of the business landscape, making data retention a major challenge to any institution. Regulated information can include email, instant messages, business transactions, accounting records, contracts, or insurance claims processing, all of which might need to be retained for varying periods of time. Some of this data might be kept several years. Some data might also be kept forever. Moreover, some data must be kept just long enough and not any longer. Indeed, content is an asset when it needs to be kept; however, if kept past its mandated retention period, it can also become a liability. Furthermore, the retention period can change due to factors such as litigation. The characteristics of archived data can vary greatly in their representation, size, and industry segment. It becomes apparent that the most important attribute of this kind of data is that it needs to be retained and managed, so it is called retention-managed data. Retention-managed data is data that is written once and is read rarely (sometimes never). Other terms abound to describe this type of data, such as reference data, archive data, content data, or other terms implying that the data cannot be altered. Retention-managed data is data that needs to be kept (retained) for a specific (or unspecified) period of time, usually years. Retention-managed data applies to many types of data and formats across all industries. The file sizes can be small or large, but the volume of data tends to be large (multi-terabyte to petabyte). It is information that might be considered of high value to an organization, therefore, it is retained near-line for fast access. It is typically read infrequently and thus can be stored on economical disk media such as SATA disks. Depending on its nature, it can be migrated to tape after some period. It is also important to recognize what does not qualify as retention-managed data. It is not the data that changes regularly, known as transaction data (account balance, inventory status, and orders today, for example). It is not the data that is used and updated every business cycle (usually daily), or the backup copy of this data. The data mentioned here changes regularly, and the copies used for backup and disaster recovery are there for exactly those purposes, meaning backup and disaster recovery. They are there so that you can restore data that was deleted or destroyed, whether by accident, a natural or human-made disaster, or intentionally. All these factors mandate tight coordination and a controlled, intelligent approach to archiving. This is what the IBM Smart Archive Strategy is aimed at.2 IBM Information Archive: Architecture and Deployment 18. 1.2 IBM Smart Archive StrategyThe IBM Smart Archive Strategy is a comprehensive cross-brand approach that combinesIBM software, systems, and service capabilities designed to help customers extract value andgain new intelligence from information by collecting, organizing, analyzing, and leveragingthat information. This approach, depicted in Figure 1-1, delivers a comprehensive set ofsolutions, products, and services in a unified and integrated strategy that helps you realizethe business value of your information while driving down costs and risks and ensuring thatcritical business content is properly retained and protected.With the IBM Smart Archive Strategy, you can simplify the archiving infrastructure and reduceoverall storage and power needs as well as administrative requirements with the help ofintegrated appliances and multiple delivery options. Implementing an IBM Smart Archivesolution can eliminate unnecessary junk content, helping to improve system and processefficiency and productivity. Reducing discovery costs and legal fees are key objectives, aswell as enhancing response capabilities by providing authorized legal staff quick access toand analysis of case-relevant information.IBM Information ArchiveFigure 1-1 The IBM Smart Archive StrategyThe IBM Smart Archive Strategy offers the following capabilities: Optimized and unified ingestion: Enables a deeper understanding of what information to archive through discovery-based and analytics-based assessment technologies. Eliminates point solution complexity and cost by unifying data and content archiving through common collection (ingest) and classification technologies. The following examples from the IBM Product portfolio fit that category: IBM InfoSphere Content Assessment software IBM InfoSphere Content Collector family of offerings, including integration with IBM Optim Data Growth Solution software Chapter 1. Introduction to archiving 3 19. IBM InfoSphere Classification Module software IBM InfoSphere Discovery with Optim Data Growth Solution softwareFlexible and secure infrastructure: Enables cost-optimized retention with unified, flexible, secure and policy-awareinfrastructure. Speeds time to value through modular, integrated solutions including choice ofmanagement and delivery models based on a common information lifespan andpolicies. These solutions and services include traditional on-premise software,preconfigured appliance, software-as-a-service, cloud-ready and hybrid options.The following examples from the IBM product portfolio fit that category: IBM Enterprise Content Management (ECM) repositories IBM Information Archive solution (the focus of this book) IBM Managed Information Archive Cloud Services IBM Global Technology Services Storage and Archive ServicesIntegrated Compliance, Records Management, Analytics, and eDiscovery:Reduce risk, respond more quickly to legal inquiries, establish trust and leverageinformation using integrated compliance, analytics, records management, and eDiscoverysoftware.The following examples from the IBM product portfolio fit that category: IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records software IBM InfoSphere Discovery Manager and Discovery Analyzer software1.3 Introducing IBM Information Archive IBM Information Archive (Information Archive) is one of the enablers for the IBM Smart Archive Strategy, as one of its possible infrastructure elements. Information Archive is the next-generation information retention solution designed as a universal archiving repository for all types of content to help midsize and enterprise clients reduce cost, manage risk, and address clients complete information retention needs: business, legal, or regulatory. Information Archive is a universal, scalable, and secure storage repository for structured and unstructured information. Information Archive application support includes IBM ECM and Optim with policy harmony. Information Archive replaces the IBM System Storage DR550 and offers significant enhancements over the DR550. This highly versatile, cloud-ready, smart business system can be a useful tool for users in their efforts to support regulatory compliance by providing a storage repository with robust security features designed to prevent the alteration or deletion of the storage repository in which information is stored until your business-designated retention period has elapsed. Information Archive is an integrated, appliance-based solution for retaining archived information in a compliant storage environment. Information Archive connects to application servers, receives files and documents from these applications, and stores them in a hierarchy of disk and tape storage. The information is stored in a collection, which is the basic storage repository within Information Archive. You can use Information Archive as the target storage for your archiving applications or you can move information from your application or existing storage domain to Information Archive.4 IBM Information Archive: Architecture and Deployment 20. You can manage archived information from a single, simple to use graphical user interface (GUI). Information Archive scales in capacity by adding more disk storage to the collections and scales in performance by adding more file system nodes. Using hierarchical storage management techniques, Information Archive helps move archived information across a hierarchy of lower cost storage devices, including tape. This can help you to match the value of your archived information to the cost of the infrastructure on which it is stored. Information Archive is designed to provide a quick time-to-value so you can begin to realize its benefits very soon after.1.3.1 Information Archive key objectives The key objectives of Information Archive are as follows:To provide a universal storage repository for all types of content, structured andunstructured, compliant or non-compliant dataTo eliminate complex installation and configurationTo scale easily for both capacity and performanceTo support efficient policy-driven retention and tiered storage managementTo support standard interfaces into the system for easy integration with applicationsTo protect data integrity for the entire lifespan of the informationTo offer low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by allowing use of mixed media (disk and tape)To support existing retention policies or enable administrators to define customizedpoliciesTo incorporate current DR550 capabilities and much more1.3.2 Information Archive key features The Information Archive solution offers the following key features and characteristics:Provides a single platform for archiving compliant, non-compliant, structured andun-structured data thus reducing the need multiple systems.Provides customizable data protection features to meet the industrys most stringent dataretention mandates.Enables data archiving across multiple tiers of storage, including disk, tape and, othernear-line or offline storage, to provide massive scalability and a more cost-effective,energy efficient archive system.Enables specified information protection levels for archive collections. With InformationArchive, IBM has introduced a unique 3x3 architecture that allows businesses to configureup to three archive collections on a single system with up to three servers. It allows theflexibility for each collection to be configured with the following information protectionlevels: Basic Protection enables the greatest flexibility for managing an organizations dataretention needs. Intermediate Protection allows IT administrators to increase and decrease retentionperiods as needed, but information deletion is only allowed after the retention periodhas expired. Maximum Protection helps IT administrators manage information with strict business,legal, or regulatory retention needs. Chapter 1. Introduction to archiving 5 21. Enforces data retention polices that maintain data as non-erasable and non-rewritable(NENR) until deletion is permitted by retention policy.Enables users to archive and retrieve directly from or to their workstations as well asenterprise content management applications.Offers Enhanced Disaster Recovery based on advanced copy services to increase theavailability of archived documents and to prevent data loss in the event of a disaster.Implements Enhanced Tamper Protection, a patent-pending feature that prevents rootaccess to the appliance to avoid modification or deletion of archived data.Supports data deduplication, which helps to store a single instance of data on disk andreduces the file size of documents in the archive collections. Data deduplication canreduce the effective data size on disk by 20 to 80%.Provides Hierarchical Storage Management, which automatically distributes andmanages data on disk, tape, or both, with the objectives of minimizing access time to dataand maximizing available media capacity.1.3.3 Information Archive value proposition The Information Archive value proposition can be summarized as follows:Manage risk: Offers policy-based or general purpose archiving capabilities to help addresscompliance and non-compliance requirements: business, legal, and regulatory Provides enhanced security with encryption for both disk and tape storage Enforces retention polices that meet some of the industrys most stringent dataretention mandates. Introduces new patent-pending tamper protection technology Locks data into non-erasable, non-rewriteable formats based on specific businessneeds.Reduce cost: Information Archive uses a true storage mix of disk and tape technologies combiningfast accessible disk with low cost of tape within a single archive pool. It can thus maximize your total cost of ownership over the life of the archived data.Improve productivity and efficiency: Simple to implement (pre-integrated, pre-configured) and manage Industry standardinterface (NFS) supports immediate archiving (no custom APIs required) Easily scales, can dynamically add and remove storage and scales to 1 billion objectsacross petabytes of storage, from multiple content types High performing system based on the IBM patented GPFS file system technology6 IBM Information Archive: Architecture and Deployment 22. 1.4 Archiving reference architecture A reference model describes an abstraction of the key concepts and their relationships. The reference model referred to in this book consists of a three layer architecture as depicted in Figure 1-2. Layer 1 describes the application layer. Applications in Layer 1 run on computer systems that generate, analyze, and process information and store this information as data. Typical examples of such applications are email clients, IBM Lotus Domino server, Microsoft Exchange server, or Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). Layer 1 applications communicate to Layer 2 components through proprietary or open interfaces (depending on the application). Layer 2 is the archive management layer or Document Management System (DMS), sometimes also referred to as Content Management. Archive management components are usually running on hardware systems other than Layer 1 and Layer 3 components. The DMS or Content Management systems are collecting, managing, storing and retaining data and finally transmitting the data and related information to the archive storage system (Layer 3). The Information Archive appliance is in Layer 3. In Chapter 8, Integrating IBM Information Archive with archiving applications on page 261, you can find descriptions and practical illustrations of how Layer 2 applications integrated with Information Archive.

Introduction to archiving 7 23. 8 IBM Information Archive: Architecture and Deployment 24. 2Chapter 2. IBM Information Archive overview and components The IBM Information Archive (Information Archive) hardware and software are preinstalled and delivered in a base rack (2231-IA3) and one optional expansion rack (2231-IS3). The base and expansion racks (or frames) are available in various configurations and capacity options. In this chapter we present an overview of the Model 2231-IA3 and the optional Model 2231-IS3. First, we review the system as whole and its intended usage, followed by a description of each of the elements, hardware, and software, with detailed information about how they are initially packaged, installed, and configured. Copyright IBM Corp. 2010. All rights reserved. 9 25. 2.1 Information Archive overview The Information Archive appliance is an integrated data retention solution. It is the IBM follow-on and replacement product for the IBM System Storage DR550. The appliance includes preinstalled servers, disk storage, and the Information Archive software.2.1.1 Information Archive archiving concepts and features Information Archive brings together off-the-shelf IBM hardware and software products. The hardware comes premounted in a secure rack. The software is preinstalled and to a large extent preconfigured. It is designed to be easy to deploy. Information Archive can be used to store and manage multiple billions of documents over its deployment lifetime. Information Archive provides policy-managed storage for compliance, archiving, and content management applications. These applications can retrieve files using standard communication protocols, such as Network File System (NFS) and HTTP, and can archive files using NFS or the System Storage Archive Manager API in logical containers, called collections. The Information Archive solution includes time-based and event-based retention options, compression and deduplication of stored data, and compatibility with customer applications that can be used by the former DR550 appliance. Optional features of Information Archive include remote replication for disaster recovery, high-availability server configurations, and tape library support. Figure 2-1 shows a general overview of the conceptual Information Archive architecture. It depicts how applications can store documents into Information Archive over an Ethernet LAN. The documents are archived in collections that reside on disk. The collections can be of two types: System Storage Archive Manager collections and File Archive Collections (archive over NFS). A maximum of three collections (in any combination of System Storage Archive Manager Collections or File Archive Collections) is supported. The Information Archive software includes an administrative Graphical User Interface, the Information Archive Administration GUI (Information Archive GUI).IBM IA Admin GUI ApplicationsLANOne NamespaceNFSNASNFS NASNASSSAMDisk Disk DiskDisk Disk Disk Disk Collection 1Collection 2 Collection 3Collection 1Collection 2 Collection 3 ClusteredClustered IBM Information Archive Tape or other devices 2 00 9 IBM Corp or atio n Figure 2-1 Information Archive architecture10 IBM Information Archive: Architecture and Deployment 26. The Information Archive GUI lets you administrate, operate, and monitor the Information Archive appliance, and generate reports. The system offers the option to migrate and back up data to tape. Although optional, tape attachment is highly desirable.2.1.2 Information Archive security and data retention compliance features Information Archive is primarily intended to provide a storage solution for archiving and data retention compliance. Thus, it offers the following retention and document protection features. Document retention The Information Archive appliance provides a number of ways to specify how long documents are retained.You can configure document retention policies, which provide both time-based and event-based retention options. Document protection settings After a document is ingested into archival storage, it cannot be modified until its retention period expires. You can use document protection settings to further restrict the actions that can be taken on archived documents. Document protection levels can be set independently for each collection in the appliance. There are three levels of document protection available for File Archive Collections. System Storage Archive Manager collections only support the maximum level of document protection, which does not allow the deletion of documents or the reduction of retention periods. Enhanced Tamper Protection Enhanced Tamper Protection prevents root access to the servers in the Information Archive appliance. Root access can potentially be used to modify or delete archived data. Enhanced Tamper Protection is a system-wide setting that affects all the collections in the appliance. This feature can be enabled during the initial configuration of the appliance, or at a later time. After being enabled, it cannot be turned off. If you do not enable Enhanced Tamper Protection, you must use other methods to prevent tampering and you must securely manage the root passwords on all servers in the appliance. Access protection Authentication is required for access to archived documents and the Information Archive GUI. For File Archive Collections, user accounts for administrators and archive users can be managed using an external Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server. Access for users, user groups, or host systems must be granted through the Information Archive administrative interface. Also see Chapter 7, LDAP environments on page 227. Two predefined user accounts are provided with the appliance: iaadmin and iscadmin. These user accounts have limited authority, and are intended to be used for a specific set of tasks. You must change the default passwords for these user accounts during the initial configuration of the appliance. Compliance features Information Archive provides a number of features to enable you meet your legal, regulatory, or policy compliance requirements for data archiving.Chapter 2. IBM Information Archive overview and components11 27. 2.1.3 Information Archive hardware and software overview The Information Archive, seen in Figure 2-2, is available in several configurations with storage from 8 TB (one collection) up to 440 TB of raw capacity for up to three collections. Similar to the DR550, Information Archive is also available as primary and secondary systems for a Disaster Recovery Protection configuration, based on remote disk mirroring. Figure 2-2 Photograph of the IBM 2231-IA3 rack The Information Archive appliance includes Fibre Channel (FC) ports for external tape attachment but does not include cables or tape drives or tape libraries. You must acquire and attach tape drives to be able to back up your configuration and collection data (see Chapter 10, Tape attachment with IBM Information Archive on page 403). The backup and restore process is described in detail in Chapter 11, Information Archive data backup and restore on page 441. The software bundle includes Information Archive Version 1.2, the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 6.x, the IBM System Storage Archive Manager Version 6.x, Information Archive Cluster Version, the IBM System Director Version 6.1.0, and DS Storage Manager for Information Archive, customized for additional protection.12 IBM Information Archive: Architecture and Deployment 28. 2.2 Hardware componentsFigure 2-3 shows a diagram that depicts the hardware components and their placement in thebase Information Archive frame (2231-IA3).A standard Information Archive 2231-IA3 base frame consists of:One 2231-IA3 rack (7014 T00 rack - 36U)At minimum, one cluster node (which is an IBM System x 3560 M2).

Rack specifications The Information Archive rack is a 7014-T00 rack that stacks all the components vertically. The rack comes with doors in the front and back, and includes the Rack Security Kit to secure physical access to any of the Information Archive appliance components. The Information Archive 2231-IA3 (base frame) and the Information Archive 2231-IS3 rack (expansion frame) have a height of 36U and each contains two iPDUs. The servers and (optional) SAN and Ethernet switches are placed in the middle of the rack. The storage units start from the bottom, populating toward the top as the storage capacity installed increases (also see Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4. The hardware specifications provide detailed information for the rack, including dimensions, electrical, power, temperature, environment, and service clearances. For more information, see: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/index.jsp?topic=/iphad/f7 014t00rack.htm14 IBM Information Archive: Architecture and Deployment 30. Specifications for the iPDU (PDU+) The intelligent power distribution unit (iPDU), also called power distribution unit plus (PDU+), has power-monitoring capabilities. The iPDU is an intelligent AC power distribution unit that monitors the amount of power being used by the devices that are plugged into it. Figure 2-5 shows a schematic representation of the iPDU. Figure 2-5 The iPDU - Power distribution unit with Ethernet ports All the cabling from the iPDUs to the various Information Archive components is done by manufacturing.2.2.2 Cluster nodes (2231-S2M) Information Archive includes one, or optionally up to three, Information Archive cluster nodes (2231-S2M). Each node consists of an IBM System x (x-3650 M2, Machine Type 7947), running a Linux-based operating system. Cluster nodes process all the documents that have been saved to Information Archive and perform management operations on the documents that have been archived. All cluster nodes have identical hardware, and they are configured as GPFS cluster nodes.Important: Always order the same amount of memory for each server. Physically, the System x x3550-M2 is a 2-EIA (2U), 19-inch, rack-mounted server. Up to two quad- or dual-core Intel Xeon 5550 Series processors with QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) technology, up to 2.93 GHz, and up to a 1333 MHz front-side bus are available. This server has a new energy-efficient design with low 675 W and up to 92% efficient power supplies, six cooling fans, altimeter monitored by the Integrated Management Module (IMM) and by IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager. Up to 128 GB of high-performance, new-generation DDR-3 memory are available. It includes ultimate internal storage flexibility with up to twelve 2.5" hot-swap SAS/SATA/SSD HDD bays. The x3650 M2 provides four x8 (by 8) 8 GBps PCIe (PCI Express) Gen 2 high performance I/O slots. It also includes two integrated Broadcom 5709C Gigabit Ethernet controllers standard. In Information Archive, this server is equipped with a dual quad-core processors, and has 24 GB memory installed (maximum 64 GB possible). There are also two dual-port 4 Gb FC HBAs and two 146 GB 15k rpm SAS internal disks configured as RAID 1. One FC Ethernet dual port card is optionally available. Chapter 2.

Figure 2-6 Cluster Node 2231-S2M - front viewCluster nodes: The Information Archive Model 2231-IA3 must contain at least one clusternode with a maximum of up to three cluster nodes. Figure 2-7 shows the Cluster Node rear panel. Figure 2-7 Cluster Node 2231-S2M - rear view The minimum configuration supports a single collection with one cluster node 2231-S2M, but this does not allow a cluster node failover. The maximum configuration consists of three cluster nodes and supports three collections. In this configuration, all collections support cluster node failover, but there will be a performance degradation when more than one collection runs on a single cluster node. Each collection needs a dedicated Storage Controller 2231-D1A (DS4200). Consequently, for more than one collection, the configuration requires the 2231-IS3 expansion frame to mount the second and third 2231-D1A storage controllers.16 IBM Information Archive: Architecture and Deployment 32. 2.2.3 Information Archive Management ConsoleThe Information Archive also includes one Management Console (IBM System x, x-3550 M2,M/T 7946) also running a Linux-based operating system. This is your Information Archiveappliance utility server running the Information Archive Administration GUI based on theIntegrated Solutions Console (ISC). It is also used for monitoring through the preinstalled IBMSystems Director, which provides all core RAS systems management and call homerequirements. The Management Console provides a single point of access for all functions.The Management Console (M/T 7964 is a member of the IBM System x family (x-3550-M2).Physically, it is a 1-EIA (1U), up to two quad-core or dual-core Intel Xeon 5500 Seriesprocessors with QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) technology, up to 2.93 GHz, and up to 1333MHz front-side bus, including the following features: New energy-efficient design with low 675 W Up to 92% efficient power supplies, six cooling fan modules, altimeter monitored by IMM, and IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager Up to 128 GB of high-performance, new-generation DDR-3 memory Ultimate internal storage flexibility with up to six 2.5" hot-swap SAS/SATA/SSD HDD baysThe system includes two PCI-Express (x16) Gen 2 slots: one half-length, full-height; and onelow-profile, as well as two integrated Broadcom 5709 Gigabit Ethernet controllers, standard.In the Information Archive appliance, the Management Console has 4 GB of memory and two146 GB 15k rpm SAS internal disks configured as RAID 1.

IBM Information Archive overview and components 17 33. 2.2.4 RSM server for Information Archive The IBM Remote Support Manager (RSM) is the solution for alerting and call home support for the IBM DS4000/DS5000 family of products, including the DS4200, which is the Storage Controller used in Information Archive. The IBM Remote Support Manager is an application that is installed on an IBM System x server running Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, and provides problem reporting and remote access. A special version of the RSM server to ensure compliance of the appliance is installed in Information Archive (the same version that was used in the DR550). We refer to that special version as the RSM server for Information Archive. The RSM server hardware used in Information Archive is also an IBM System x server M/T7946 (x3550 M2) as used for the Management Console, but equipped with only 2 GB of memory. For further information about monitoring and call home using the RSM server for IA, see 9.4, RSM server for Information Archive on page 381.2.2.5 Information Archive Storage Controller (2231-D1A) and expansiondrawer (2231-D1B) The Storage Controller (2231-D1A) used in Information Archive is the IBM System Storage DS4200. Additional storage capacity is increased by adding Information Archive expansion drawers (2231-D1B). The Information Archive expansion drawer is an IBM System Storage EXP420. Each Storage Controller and expansion drawer used with the Information Archive includes eight or sixteen 1 TB or 2 TB Serial ATA (SATA) disk drives. The Information Archive base frame (2231-IA3) can consist of one Information Archive Storage Controller (2231-D1A) and up to six Information Archive expansion drawers (2231-D1B). In the expansion frame (2231-IS3) there is space for two optional storage controllers and five optional expansion drawers for each of these storage controllers (a maximum of ten expansion drawers). Each Storage Controller has two 4 GB FC ports by default that are used to attach the Information Archive cluster node servers. Another, optional, two 4 GB FC ports for remote mirroring can be included. The Information Archive Storage Controller supports online controller firmware upgrades to help provide better performance and functionality. For further information about the IBM DS4200 Storage Controller, see: http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/disk/ds4000/ds4200/index.htmlReferences: The foregoing link is only meant for general DS4200 related documentation.For Information Archive specific software and firmware downloads, you must strictly referto the Information Archive support web page:http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/disk/archive/index.html18 IBM Information Archive: Architecture and Deployment 34. The storage units are equipped with Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) diskdrives. With Information Archive, users get the advanced features of the Storage Controllerwith the cost-effective advantage of SATA disks that are well-suited for fixed content, sparinglyaccessed storage applications.Figure 2-10 shows the front view of the Information Archive Storage Controller (2231-D1A).The 2231-D1B (EXP 420) looks identical from the front except for the label on the front bezel.Figure 2-10 Information Archive Storage Controller (2231-D1A) - front viewFigure 2-11 shows the rear view of the Information Archive Storage Controller.Ctrl A 21 1 2 Ctrl BEthernet Ports Host Side connectionsFigure 2-11 Information Archive Storage Controller (2231-D1A) - rear viewChapter 2. IBM Information Archive overview and components 19 35. The 2231-D1B (EXP 420) has two hot-swappable Environmental Service Modules (ESMs), two power supplies, and two fan units that provide for sufficient redundancy and availability. The 2231-D1A and the 2231-D1B also have hot-swappable drives. The hot-swap drive bays are preinstalled in drive trays. This drive and carrier assembly, called a customer replaceable unit (CRU), includes the drive tray, SATA drive, and hard disk drive interposer card; they are installed in the 16 drive bays on the front of the unit. Each of these can be replaced as a unit.

The storage is configured as RAID 6, whereby a half drawer, if it is the only storage drawer, is formatted 5+2 with a global spare; Otherwise it is formatted as 5+2P and 6+2P with one or two global spares (depending on how many expansion drawers are used, there is an additional global spare defined starting with the third expansion drawer). Information Archive comes in configurations with 1 TB or 2 TB disks.When equipped with 1 TB disks, the raw capacity varies in increments of 8 TB up to112 TB for the first collection, and from 8 TB up to 96 TB for the second and thirdcollections.When using 2 TB disks, the capacity varies in 16 TB increments up to 224 TB for the firstcollection and from 16 TB up to 192 TB from the second and third collections.20 IBM Information Archive: Architecture and Deployment 36.

They are used to interconnect the cluster nodes with the Storage Controller and optionally, Fibre Channel-based tape solutions. The SAN switches are optional, but must be installed in pairs. For Enhanced Remote Mirroring configurations (with Remote Mirroring to a secondary Information Archive), the SAN switches are required. SAN switches are also required when Information Archive is configured with three cluster nodes, or for three collections (that is three storage servers). Indeed, for those configurations, a direct connection is no longer possible.Chapter 2. IBM Information Archive overview and components21 37. Each SAN switch is a 24-port high performance auto-sensing Fibre Channel switch. With next generation switch technology, these switches are designed to provide improved availability capabilities, fully non-blocking performance, and advanced intelligence features. The Information Archive SAN Switch provides 1, 2, or 4 Gbps link speed. The port speeds can be set to any of these values or can be set to auto-negotiate the highest speed that the attaching devices support. In Information Archive, the cluster nodes and the Storage Controller ports operate at 4 Gbps. Figure 2-14 shows the SAN switch. System Status LEDFC ports (24)RS-232 consoleFC status LEDs portUSB portAC ReceptaclePower indicator LED Ethernet port Figure 2-14 Information Archive SAN switch (IBM System Storage SAN Switch 2498-B24) The required Fibre Channel cabling between the cluster nodes and the storage controllers is done by manufacturing for the 2231-IA3 frame. If you ordered an optional 2231-IS3 frame with additional storage controllers, your IBM Support representative will perform the required interconnection cabling. The customer does not have to perform any reconfiguration at installation time. In addition, the zoning definitions are also done at manufacturing time.Security: Although technically possible, it is best not to share the Information Archivefabric or fabrics with other fabrics for attaching non-IA components, such as externalservers or storage devices. Doing so compromises the security of the Information Archiveappliance and can have implications on third-party compliance certifications.2.2.7 Information Archive Ethernet switches Information Archive has all the required internal Ethernet connections preconfigured and wired. Information Archive includes an internal Ethernet network for some connections between the cluster nodes, the storage controllers, the RSM server for IA, the management node, and the iPDUs. These connections are realized through two Ethernet switches. Those are SMC 8126 L2 26 port Ethernet switches.TCP/IP addresses: Do not change the internal TCP/IP addresses. What specific port isbeing used for connecting to the internal Ethernet switch is important.22 IBM Information Archive: Architecture and Deployment 38. Figure 2-15 shows a picture of the Information Archive Ethernet switch.Status LEDs RJ45 ports (26) Console portSFP slots Figure 2-15 Information Archive Ethernet switch The Information Archive Ethernet switch is an intelligent layer 2 switch with 26 10/100/1000 BASE-T port. Ports 21 up to 23 are available twice (combo ports). It is possible to plug in Small Form Factor Pluggables (SFPs) to the bottom rightmost four ports, so that you can use GB Ethernet fibre for long distance. The SFP slots are shared with four of the RJ-45 ports (ports 21 to 23). If an SFP transceiver is present in a slot and has an active link, the corresponding RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used.2.2.8 Console kit The Information Archive console kit is an IBM 1735-3LX rack-mounted flat panel console kit and consisting of the following components:One 17.0 inch (337.92 x 270.332 mm) backlit panel technology, with a maximumresolution of 1280 x 1024 at 75 HzOne rack keyboard trayIBM keyboard with integrated pointing deviceOne Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) switch The KVM switch is packaged as a 1U kit and is mounted in the rack along with the other Information Archive components. The KVM switch is mounted in the same rack space, located behind the flat panel monitor. The keyboard is configured for English. An integrated mouse is included in the keyboard. The cluster nodes, the RSM server for Information Archive, and the Management Console are connected to the KVM switch, so that the monitor and keyboard can access all of the servers in the Information Archive appliance.Chapter 2.
