This IBM Redbooks publication introduces the IBM System Storage
DS3500, providing an overview of its design and specifications, and
describing in detail how to set up, configure, and administer it. This
edition covers updates and functions available with the DS3500
Storage Manager Version 10.70 (firmware level 7.70).
With its simple, efficient and flexible approach to storage, the DS3500
is a cost-effective, fully integrated complement to System x servers,
BladeCenter and Power Systems. The DS3500 supports intermixing
four 1Gbps iSCSI or four 8Gbps FC host ports with its native 6Gbps SAS
interfaces. This flexible and multi-purpose dual protocol approach
allows organizations to implement a single storage system to support
all of their shared storage requirements, there by maximizing
productivity, reliability, and cost.
The DS3500 DS Storage Manager is the same management software
offered with the DS5000 and DS4000 series. Now, any of these
storage systems can be viewed and managed from a single interface.
The DS3500 also supports enhanced remote mirroring over FC host
ports, which is also compatible with the DS5000 and DS4000 series.
This book is intended for customers, IBM Business Partners, and IBM
technical professionals who want to learn more about the capabilities
and advanced functions of the IBM System Storage DS3500 with
Storage Manager Software. It also targets those who have a DS3500
storage system and need detailed advice on how to configure and
manage it.
