The ® management console can automatically monitor the state of your system, and notify you and IBM when service is needed. To provide continuous availability two management consoles are provided. The on site interface to the management console is a 1U keyboard and display.
Page 65: Hardware Specifics
With the improved performance provided by the new RAID Adapters and NVMe drives it is expected that users migrating from previous generation storage systems will be able to move to a larger drive size than they are currently using. IBM Storage Modeller should be used to confirm that a particular configuration will meet workload requirements.
Page 66: Drive Maintenance Policy
A minimum of two spare drives are allocated in a device adapter loop. Internal maintenance functions continuously monitor and report (by using the call home feature) to IBM when the number of drives in a spare pool reaches a preset threshold. This design ensures continuous availability of devices while it protects data and minimizing any service disruptions.

Page 68: I/O Load Balancing
EC12 and IBM zEnterprise BC12 servers support 24,576 devices per FICON host channel. Earlier IBM Z servers support 16,384 devices per FICON host channel. To fully access 65,280 devices, it is necessary to connect multiple FICON host channels to the storage system. You can access the devices through a Fibre Channel switch or FICON director to a single storage system FICON port.
Page 69: Storage Consolidation
You can mix production and test servers in an open systems environment or mix open systems and IBM Z hosts. In this type of environment, servers rarely, if ever, contend for the same resource.
Page 70: Logical Volumes
The next extent for that volume is taken from the next rank in sequence, and so on. The system rotates the extents across the ranks. 56 IBM Storage DS8000 (10th Generation): IBM Storage DS8000 (10th Generation) Introduction and Planning Guide...
Page 71: Lun Calculation
On open volumes with 520 byte blocks, you can select one of the supported LUN sizes that are used on IBM i processors to create a LUN. The operating system uses 8 of the bytes in each block. This leaves 512 bytes per block for your data.
Page 72: Extended Address Volumes For Ckd
12.1 and later. You can create a 1 TB IBM Z CKD volume. An IBM Z CKD volume is composed of one or more extents from a CKD extent pool. CKD large extents are 1113 cylinders and small extents are 21 cylinders in size. When you define a IBM Z CKD volume, you must specify the number of cylinders that you want for the volume.

Page 75: Chapter 3. Data Management Features
Transparent cloud tiering is a licensed function that enables volume data to be copied and transferred to cloud storage. DS8000 transparent cloud tiering is a feature in conjunction with z/OS and DFSMShsm that provides server-less movement of archive and backup data directly to an object storage solution.
Page 76: Dynamic Volume Expansion
The data remains encrypted in cloud storage and is decrypted after it is transferred back to the storage system. You can use client-side encryption for transparent cloud tiering to download and decrypt data on any DS8000 storage system that uses the same set of key servers as the system that first encrypted the data.
Page 77: Count Key Data And Fixed Block Volume Deletion Prevention
Count key data and fixed block volume deletion prevention By default, DS8000 attempts to prevent volumes that are online and in use from being deleted. The DS CLI and DS Storage Manager provides an option to force the deletion of count key data (CKD) and fixed block (FB) volumes that are in use.

Page 82: Performance For Ibm Z
You can further enhance PAV by adding the IBM HyperPAV feature. IBM HyperPAV associates the volumes with either an alias address or a specified base logical volume number. When a host system requests IBM HyperPAV processing and the processing is enabled, aliases on the logical subsystem are placed in an 68 ...
Page 83: Copy Services
IBM HyperPAV alias access state on all logical paths with a specific path group ID. IBM HyperPAV is only supported on FICON channel paths. PAV can improve the performance of large volumes. You get better performance with one base and two aliases on a 3390 Model 9 than from three 3390 Model 3 volumes with no PAV support.
Page 84 8-port host adapters, the paths connect only to the lower four ports on the newer storage system. • If you are creating paths from a model 993 4-port host adapter to a previous release DS8000 (Release 6.0 or later), which supports 8-port host adapters, you can only connect the lower four ports of the 8-port host adapter.
Page 85: Point-In-Time Copy (Flashcopy)
The point-in-time and remote mirror and copy features are supported across variousIBM server environments such as IBM i, System p, and IBM Z , as well as servers from Oracle and Hewlett-Packard. You can manage these functions through a command-line interface that is called the DS CLI.
Page 86 The Remote Pair FlashCopy relationship completes successfully with the "Preserve Mirror, Required" option, even if the status of the Metro Mirror volume pair is either in a suspended or duplex pending state. 72 IBM Storage DS8000 (10th Generation): IBM Storage DS8000 (10th Generation) Introduction and Planning Guide...
Page 87: Remote Mirror And Copy
Note: You must use Fibre Channel host adapters with remote mirror and copy functions. To see a current list of environments, configurations, networks, and products that support remote mirror and copy functions, click Interoperability Matrix at the following location IBM System Storage Interoperation Center (SSIC) website(www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/ssic/interoperability.was).
Page 88 Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS ), which is available for IBM Z environments, to ensure data consistency to multiple Metro Mirror volume pairs in a specified logical subsystem. Common options for Metro Mirror/Global Mirror and Global Copy include the following modes:...
Page 89 Provides a three-site, long-distance disaster recovery replication that combines Metro Mirror with Global Mirror replication for both IBM Z and open systems data. Metro/Global Mirror uses synchronous replication to mirror data between a local site and an intermediate site, and asynchronous replication to mirror data from an intermediate site to a remote site.
Page 90: Disaster Recovery Through Copy Services
IBM Z environments. z/OS Global Mirror Multiple Reader helps maintain constant data consistency between mirrored sites and promotes efficient recovery. This function is supported on the storage system running in a IBM Z environment with version 1.7 or later at no additional charge.
Page 91: Resource Groups For Copy Services Scope Limiting
Recovery procedures that include failover and failback modes use remote mirror and copy functions, such as Metro Mirror, Global Copy, Global Mirror, Metro/Global Mirror, Multiple Target PPRC, and FlashCopy. Note: See the IBM DS8000 Command-Line Interface User's Guide for specific disaster recovery tasks. Data consistency can be achieved through the following methods:...
Page 92 Note: User and administrator roles for resource groups are the same user and administrator roles used for accessing your DS8000 storage system. For example, those roles include storage administrator, Copy Services operator, and physical operator.
Page 93: Comparison Of Copy Services Features
However, with the local key manager enabled (feature 0405), the requirement for at least two external key servers does not apply. It is important to understand how to manage IBM encrypted storage and comply with IBM encryption requirements. Failure to follow these requirements might cause a permanent encryption deadlock, which might result in the permanent loss of all key-server-managed encrypted data at all of your installations.
