The system contains a Storwize V7000 storage system. Each Storwize V7000 single processing unit is a node canister, which is also called a node. The two nodes within their canisters make an I/O group that is attached to the SAN fabric. Each Storwize V7000 control enclosure requires two Ethernet cables to connect it to an Ethernet switch or hub. One cable connects to port 1 of the left node canister, and the other cable connects to port 1 of the right node canister. A 10/100/1000 Mb Ethernet connection is required for each cable. Both Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) are supported. Note: For increased redundancy, an optional second Ethernet connection is supported for each Storwize V7000 node canister.References: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ST3FR7_7.7.0/com.ibm.storwize.v7000.770.doc/svc_portsandconnect_gen2.html

Support for iSCSI backend storage attachment for SAN Volume Controller and the Storwize storage virtualisation family include the Dell Equallogic PS6210 storage model. References: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S1006383

By using external virtualization, you can consolidate FC SAN-attached disk controllers from various vendors into pools of storage. In this way, the storage administrator can manage and provision storage to applications from a single user interface and use a common set of advanced functions across all of the storage systems under the control of the IBM Storwize. References: Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 (including the Storwize V5010, V5020, and V5030), page 51http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248162.pdf

You can connect to a CIFS share using a CIFS client, such as Microsoft Windows. The Common Internet File System (CIFS) is the standard way that computer users share files across corporate intranets and the Internet. An enhanced version of the Microsoft open, cross-platform Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, CIFS is a native file-sharing protocol in Windows. References: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ST5Q4U/com.ibm.storwize.v7000.unified.141.doc/usgr_cnnctng_via_cifs_frm_wndws.html https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc939973.aspx

Shares and exports can be managed through the GUI or CLI by Storwize V7000 Unified administrative users that have a user role definition that is authorized to perform share and export management functions. A share or export results from making a disk space accessible through the protocols specified during its creation. HTTP, SCP, FTP, CIFS and NFS shares and exports can be created, provided that the corresponding protocol is enabled for the system. Shares and exports can only be created for data that is stored in the GPFS file system of the Storwize V7000 Unified system. Non-GPFS file system content cannot be shared or exported. References: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ST5Q4U/com.ibm.storwize.v7000.unified.143.doc/mng_exports_topic_welcome.html

IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot uses the FlashCopy or snapshot function of the storage solutions for database cloning. This method eliminates downtime and minimizes the impact on the production database. After you share the FlashCopy repository, configuration and binary files, an Oracle RAC database clone can be created from every node of the Oracle RAC cluster. IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot can operate on the clone from all RAC nodes, so that a clone created on one RAC node can be inquired, refreshed, or deleted from any other node within the RAC cluster. References: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSERFV_8.1.0/fcm.unx/c_fcmu_orc_cloning.html

All Storwize V5000 second-generation control enclosures include support for 16 Gb FC, 12 Gb SAS, 10 Gb iSCSI/FCoE, and 1 Gb iSCSI for additional I/O connectivity. References: http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?htmlfid=897/ENUS116-009&infotype=AN&subtype=CA

In the output of the Comprestimator, the Total Savings is presented as a break-down of thin-provisioning savings and compression savings. This helps in future planning tasks; when the volume stores more data than it does today , thin-provisioning savings get lower, but compression savings are expected to stay the same if new data written to the volume is of the same nature as the data stored in the volume today. References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ST3FR7_7.2.0/com.ibm.storwize.v7000.720.learning/comprestimator_script.html

With the introduction of the 2076-524 nodes, and the ability to have up to eight FC ports per node, there are several different options that are valid for attaching storage to the Storwize V7000 Gen2 cluster. Apply these Storwize V7000 Unified configuration details for Fibre Channel and Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FC/FCoE Gateway, FCF) switches to ensure that you have a valid configuration. Configuring your SAN with at least two independent switches, or networks of switches, ensures a redundant fabric with no single point of failure. If one of the two SAN fabrics fails, the configuration is in a degraded mode, but is still valid. You should maintain separate fabrics for FCoE and FC. If you attempt to combine these fabrics, you might risk adding additional paths to the volumes. Supported configurations allow a maximum of eight paths. References: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ST5Q4U/com.ibm.storwize.v7000.unified.141.doc/svc_rulesswitch_223fp0.html
