New SVC 2145-CF8 Storage Engine

New SVC engine based on IBM System x3550M2 server

Intel Xeon 5500 2.4 GHz quad-core processor
Triple cache size to 24GB (with future growth possibilities)
Four 8Gbps FC ports
Bandwidth twice that of the Model 8G4
Expect double MB/s and up to double IOPS
of Model 8G4
Significant price/performance improvement
Enables support of more demanding and larger configurations with fewer SVC
engines
Support for Solid State Drives (up to four per SVC node) enabling scale-out
high performance SSD support with SVC
New engines may be intermixed in pairs with other engines in SVC clusters
Mixing engine types in a cluster results in VDisk throughput characteristics of the
engine type in that I/O group
Cluster non-disruptive upgrade capability may be used to replace older
engines with new CF8 engines

of remote copy relationships, and Multi-Target Reverse FlashCopy
Supports consolidated disaster recovery site servicing more than one production location
Enables larger configurations to be protected with up to 8192 MM/GM relationships
FlashCopy targets may be used almost immediately as restore points enabling faster
recovery

New 64-bit SVC software base

Supports all SVC engines available since October 2005 (8F2, 8F4, 8G4, 8A4, CF8)

Cache management enhancements

Improves throughput up to 15% for existing systems, especially for write I/Os

Available for existing customers with current subscription and support at no

charge
Nondisruptive upgrade from SVC software 4.3.1

Multiple Cluster Mirroring Configuration Rules

Max 4 clusters connected by partnerships either directly or indirectly
All must be at 5.1 even if a cluster is only in one partnership

A A B C D
B D

Unsupported configuration: 5 clusters in a connected set

A B C D E
A VDisk can only be in one MM or one GM relationship
A FlashCopy target cannot be a MM or GM source

Enables Metro and Global Mirror relationships between up to four SVC clusters
Three site Metro-Global Mirror like DS8K not supported
Replication of a VDisk to multiple sites not supported
 IBM TSM User Forum 2009

Thin Provisioning Enhancements: Zero Detect

When using Virtual Disk Mirroring to copy from a fully-allocated virtual disk
to a space-efficient (thin provisioned) virtual disk, SVC will not copy blocks
that are all zeroes
Disk space is not allocated for unused space or formatted space that is all zeroes

When processing a write request, SVC will detect if all zeroes are being
written and will not allocate disk space for such requests
Helps minimize disk space used for space-efficient virtual disks
Helps avoid space utilization concerns when formatting vdisks
Supported only on Model CF8 storage engines
