will not apply to the configuration on which you are working. Therefore, it is
suggested that you determine the make and model of the disk storage components
in use and, if necessary, obtain the related product documentation before you begin
installation of the gateway.
The RAS code no longer sends call home packages for problems with any of the
disk storage products attached to the gateway including DS4700. DS5000, and XIV.

These are terms for IBM's virtualization solution from the TS7650 family
that does not include a disk storage repository, allowing the customer to
choose from a variety of storage options. IBM does not support more than
one clustered pair of TS7650 Gateway servers in a single frame. The
TS7650G consists of the following:
Server There are two types of server used in the gateway:
3958 DD3
This is a newer, higher performance server available in
March 2009. This server is based on the IBM System x3850
M2 Type 7233. When used as a server in the TS7650G, its
machine type and model are 3958 DD3. Use this machine
type and model for service purposes.
3958 DD1
This is the original server available in August 2008. This
server is based on the IBM System x3850 M2 Type 7141.
When used as a server in the TS7650G, its machine type
and model are 3958 DD1. Use this machine type and
model for service purposes.
System console
The system console is a TS3000 System Console (TSSC). This
document uses the terms system console and TSSC interchangeably.
Under IBM best practices, the TS7650G also contains the following:
