TS7650 Appliance – 8 Drawer Clustered


Active-Active 2 nodes cluster (architecture will allow for increasing node count over time)

Full repository sharing among nodes Writing data to the repository Reading data from the repository (restore and read reference) Access to all virtual devices

• No degradation on HyperFactor efficiency (regardless of the node through which the data is received)

• Minimum cluster down-time

• Additional enhancements: • Addition of LTO-3 emulation data path failover at the fabric layer• Addition of TS3500 control path failover between nodes

XIV Connection

XIV does not support direct-connect: always use a SAN switch

Paths from TS7650 to XIV

• Minimum connectivity for maximum performance is 1 path per XIV interface module (a fully configured XIV has 6 interface modules)

• Suggest 2 paths per interface for redundancy

• TS7650 FTSS can provide an XIV configuration whitepaper to help

TS7650/TS7680 Differences

Shelf / visibility

TS7650 – Volumes visible at one site at a time only. Think of them as being moved by truck.

TS7680 – Volumes replicated to DR site are visible and R/O.

Replication policies by VOLSER (barcode)

TS7650 – Applications use specific barcodes and replication policies can be created for specific uses.

TS7680 – z/OS applications use one common scratch pool for all applications and use of the VOLSER for creating replication policies is not practical.

System i Support

AS400 & BRMS qualification, Released in June 09.

Available as a standard patch upgrade installation

Patch is compatible with all current 3958 models, no new HW requirements or additional fees

Supports iSeries OS versions: V5R4M0, V5R4M5, V6R1M0

Operability – a single ProtecTIER system can be shared between open-systems hosts and AS400, but cannot share a library

TS3500 emulation supported

2.4.1.0 supports IBM i IOPless attachment
