    IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller The IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller is supported with the DS6800. The SAN Volume Controller is not interoperable with DS Copy Services. Refer to the following web page for specific interoperability information on the SAN Volume Controller: http://www.ibm.com/storage/support/2145...
  • Page 8 IBM TotalStorage SAN File System The IBM TotalStorage SAN File System supports the DS6800. For more information on support, please refer to the following web page: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=575&uid=ssg1S1002299 IBM System Storage Multi-path Subsystem Device Driver (SDD) The SDD is designed to provide load balancing and enhanced data availability capability in configurations with more than one I/O path between the host server and the DS6800 system.
  • Page 9 The D6000 series supports several hardware-based remote mirror and copy solutions. They are optional capabilities on the DS6000 series and are available with the remote mirror and copy features on the DS6000 series. IBM supports the following remote mirror and copy solutions. Refer to Table 3 for DS6000 series model support and LMC prerequisites. The DS6000 series system can participate in remote mirror and copy solutions with the Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) Model 750, ESS Model 800, and DS8000 series systems.
  • Page 10 IBM is not responsible for third-party products. When using remote mirror and copy with channel extenders, IBM supports the use of remote mirror and copy over all the network technologies that are currently supported by the channel extender products, including Fibre Channel, Ethernet/IP, ATM-OC3, and T1/T3.
