IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 5 Introduction IBM® TotalStorage® DR550 SMB, one of IBM’s Data Retention offerings, is an integrated offering for clients that need to retain and preserve electronic business records. The DR550 SMB packages storage, server and software retention components into a preconfigured offering.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 6 Hardware Overview The DR550 SMB includes one IBM eServer P5 520 server running AIX® 5.2, a flat panel monitor and keyboard, and when configured for tape attachment, a Fibre Channel SAN Switch is included in the offering. No clustering option is available.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 • 2 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports (for copper based connections) – these are used to for connection to the external customer network • 2 serial ports (RS232).
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Accessing the Switch(es) Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 8 If you need to access the switch(es) to review the zoning information, error messages, or other information, you will need to connect Ethernet cables (provided by the customer) to the Ethernet port on the switch. These cables would also need to be connected to the customer network. You can then access the switch using the IP address. The Userid is ADMIN and the password is PASSWORD.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 9 Software Overview Tivoli Storage Manager for Data Retention IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Data Retention provides enhancements to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition (hereafter referred to as Tivoli Storage Manager) designed to prevent critical data from being erased or rewritten. This new product can help address requirements defined by many regulatory agencies for retention and disposition of data.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 10 IBM DB2 Content Manager To assist customers in addressing needs for data retention, IBM delivers DB2 Content Manager along with business consulting services (as needed). IBM® DB2® Content Manager provides a foundation for managing, accessing and integrating critical business information on demand.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 11 DR550 SMB DR550 SMB is available as a single node offering. The offering can also be customized to include support for tape, and the appropriate Ethernet connections.

IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 13 Logical Volume Configurations On the DR550 SMB, LUNs have been configured based on the total storage capacity ordered. All disk capacity is allocated for use by TSM. No disk capacity is set aside for other applications or servers. Below are the LUN configurations set at the factory. If you view the LUN id from AIX, it will be displayed as a hexadecimal address.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 14 Tivoli Storage Manager Server Configuration The Tivoli Storage Manager Server settings on the DR550 SMB should not be changed (these settings are different than the default settings). Other parameters use the default settings.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 15 Note: It is the responsibility of the customer to set up and verify schedules and database backups. You should verify that you have appropriate schedules in place to back up your database. Routine Operations for Tivoli Storage Manager Monitoring the Database and Recovery Log Status Monitor the Tivoli Storage Manager database and recovery usage log to ensure that you have enough space available for efficient operation.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 16 Installation and Activation Safety Notices A danger notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing death or serious injury. A caution notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing moderate or minor personal injury. Note: For a translation of these notices, see System Unit Safety Information, order number SA232652.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 17 Site Preparation and Planning Before you install the IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB, we recommend that you consider several things to avoid problems during the installation and configuration. The DR550 SMB comes with preloaded and preconfigured software. No changes should be made to the software during the installation. The DR550 SMB will ship as separate components.

IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 19 Setting up the Management Console DR550 SMB includes an integrated management console. Connections are made through the Netbay LCM (Local Console Manager). To interact with the system software interfaces or to run diagnostics from a DVD-RAM, it is necessary to use the integrated console.

IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 21 5. Use a 9-pin to 9-pin serial converter cable (customer supplied) when connecting to the rear serial port 1. An ASCII (tty) terminal must be used to configure both P5 520 servers. If you have a single terminal, you may connect it to one P5 520 and configure the server. Then connect it to the other P5 520 server and configure it. Thus only one terminal is needed as the console in setting up the DR550 SMB.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 22 8. Verify that the grounding impedance is correct by using the ECOS 1020, 1023, B7106, C7106, or an appropriately approved ground-impedance tester. Cabling AC Many racks have sets of AC power rails (left and right) traversing vertically in the rear of the rack cabinet. Each rail in a set should be connected to a different AC power feed if that is available. This is to enhance the availability of the rack components.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 23 Configuring the P5 520 Server The P5 520 server within the IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB is shipped with particular AIX security settings. These settings will not allow remote administration tasks initiated via commands like telnet, remote shell (rsh), file transfer protocol (ftp) or similar. Therefore, you should use the integrated console for management activities.

Changing the password should be done during the initial installation.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 25 The following table shows the IP addresses associated with the server, storage and customer network. Please note that some addresses may need to be changed while others should not be changed. IP Address DRS_Engine_1 192.168.1.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 26 Procedure for Changing IP Address To configure the DR550 SMB for the use within your network you must change one IP address from its factory setting. The change is made to the P5 520 server.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 27 1. First of all create a copy of the /etc/hosts file that is shipped from factory (see Preconfigured /etc/hosts file on drs_engine (excerpt)) with the AIX command cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.factory. Preconfigured /etc/hosts file on drs_engine (excerpt) 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.21 loopback localhost # loopback (lo0) name/address drs_engine 2.
IBM TotalStorage DR550 SMB Version 1.0 ------ 27 May 2005 Page 28 You need to adjust the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (ITSM) client system options file, so that the ITSM API or any ITSM client (dsmadmc) can find the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server. On the p5 520 server, replace the value in the dsm.sys file for the tcpserveraddress with your new HACMP cluster service address. We recommend that you do NOT use a dot address, for instance 100.100.51.

Whether you use the 3592 for backup of the DR550 SMB (using TSM commands such as “copy storage pool”) or you choose to archive directly to tape, the data is permanently stored and can not be modified. Using a different tape cartridge (without WORM protection) will not guarantee the non-erase capability that is featured in the DR550 SMB.
