Physical Planning Overview 9

Planning overviewThis section provides an overview of the planning requirements for EMC® Disk Libraryfor mainframe (DLm) installation. It reviews EMC responsibilities and outlines yourresponsibilities as a DLm user for the following DLm systems:

l DLm8100 with VNX, Data Domain, and/or CloudArray

l DLm8100 with VMAX and/or CloudArray

Note

This document contains information about the VTEC cabinet and the VNX VG8cabinet of a DLm8100. Refer to the EMC VMAX 20K/VMAX Series Physical PlanningGuide [P/N 300-008-601] for information about the VMAX.

l DLm2100 with Data Domain and/or Cloud Array (CA)

Note

Inform EMC of any labor union-based restrictions or security clearance requirementsprior to delivery.

The DLm systems must be installed in a properly equipped computer room withcontrolled temperature and humidity, proper airflow and ventilation, proper power andgrounding, system cable routing facilities, fire equipment, and so on. A raised floor isrecommended, although it is not required. One or more planning sessions with yourSystems Engineer and Customer Support Representative will be necessary to close allthe details related to installation. The table below lists the responsibility summary atthe first planning session.

Table 1 Pre-installation responsibility summary

EMC You

Provide all details necessary for site planningand preparation.

Provide an environment that supports safeinstallation of the DLm system and promotesits reliable long-term operation.

Complete and process the InstallationPlanning Task Sheet and Presite Survey.

Provide appropriate modem phone line,power, cooling and ventilation, humiditycontrol, floor load capability, and serviceclearances as required.

Arrange for shipment and delivery through anappropriate method.

Participate in planning sessions as required toensure a smooth and uncomplicatedinstallation.

Install a properly working system.

DLm system presite considerationsWhen planning the installation site for your DLm system, meet with your EMCrepresentative to complete the presite plan.



Physical specificationsThe physical and environmental specifications section provides overall systemdimensions for the following DLm systems:

l DLm8100 VNX, DD, and/or CA

l DLm8100 VMAX and/or CA

l DLm2100 DD and/or CA

General considerationsBefore installing the DLm system at your site, consider these factors:

l Weight capacities of the service elevator if delivery is to another floor

l Availability of an equipment ramp if the receiving floor is not on the same level asthe computer room floor.

Note

All portions of the cabinet should clear ramp and threshold slopes up to 1:10 (riseto run ratio), per Code of Federal Regulations – ADA Standards for AccessibleDesign, 28 CFR Part 36.

l Weight capacities of the loading dock

l Weight capacities of the tailgate

Other requirements are:

l Appropriate floor covering for protection

l Direct dial-up phone line (for remote support) within 6 ft (two meters) of the unit

l Hardware power requirements

l Power requirements for the DLm cabinets

Transportation and delivery guidelinesMode of transport guidelines:

l For all DLm systems delivered within the United States or Canada, EMCrecommends an air-ride truck.

l All DLm systems are wrapped in custom-designed shipping material. The DLmsystem may also be crated and palletized.

l For all DLm systems delivered internationally, EMC recommends shipment by airfreight. Unless otherwise instructed, the EMC Traffic Department arranges fordelivery directly to the computer room.

To ensure successful delivery of DLm systems, EMC has formed partnerships withspecially selected moving companies. These companies have moving professionalstrained to properly handle large, sensitive systems. These companies provide theappropriate personnel, floor layouts, and any ancillary moving equipment required tofacilitate delivery.

Pre-installation considerationsInstall the DLm in a properly equipped and well-ventilated computer room.


Physical specifications 11

Environmental specificationsDLm requires the environmental specifications outlined in each chapter for thespecific DLm model. Ensure that the site meets or exceeds the specifications listed forboth raised and non-raised floor environments.

System host cabling requirementsThe Presite Survey, completed with the EMC Systems Engineer, reports the Fibreconnection (FICON) cable length required for each host connection to the DLm. Froma physical planning perspective, review the routing paths from the hosts to the DLmsystem. Resolve any physical access issues before the installation day.

Layout and space recommendationsLayout and space considerations are described in the chapter for the spcific DLmmodel.

CAUTION

When moving the DLm cabinets down an incline, the rear of the cabinet must gofirst and when moving up an incline, the rear of the cabinet must go last.

Remote supportRemote support is an important and integral part of the EMC customer service andsupport strategy. Communication between the EMC Customer Support Center andthe DLm occurs either through IP connections to the local area network, or throughthe external serial modem connected to the DLm, which requires that you provide onededicated phone line for the modem. You can move phone lines between modemsconnected to the Management VTEs and Control Stations as needed.

For the following models:

l DLm8100 supports one modem in each of its Management VTEs and ControlStations. Modems section provides more information about the modems DLm8100supports.

l DLm2100 supports: one modem in each of its Management VTEs and ControlStations. External network and phone line requirements provides more informationabout the modems DLm2100 supports.

Note

If you decide on a modem connection instead of an IP/LAN connection, then EMCrecommends that you provide one dedicated phone line for the DLm system toenable ConnectEMC call-homes.

EMC Secure Remote SupportDLm supports EMC Secure Remote Support (ESRS) Gateway that provides a secure,IP-based, distributed remote service support solution giving you command, control,and visibility of remote support access.

Contact EMC Customer Support to configure ESRS. This is an optional feature.



Establishing SSH trustDLm features such as DLm health monitoring, DDRL, command processors,configuration, and setup tools must run commands and operations on the backendstorage systems (VNX, DD, and so on) remotely. For this to work, SSH trust must beestablished between DLm VTEs and the backend storage systems. SSH trust ensuresthat applications on the DLm can run commands on the storage system without apassword. SSH trust is established when DLm is installed, or when new storagesystems or VTEs are added to the DLm.

Planning for upgradesWhen planning for upgrades, consider space, power, and environmental concerns.

Network software ports needed to support DLm operationsDLm software makes use of many protocols and standard network ports to supportvarious monitoring and configuration services. If your network configuration requiresthat firewalls exist between DLm systems, ensure that the networking environmentinto which you introduce DLm systems provides access to these networking ports andprotocols. Common uses for these network ports are for access:

l Between the DLm and the ESRS gateways

l To user interfaces such as:

n DLm Console

n Data Domain system manager

n CloudArray

Note

To support proper RAID and spare operations, all disk drives within an individual DAEmust be the same size.

The boot DAE includes:

l Four SAS drives

l Two LCCs

l Redundant power supplies

l Two power drops for maximum configuration


VNX storage cabinet 21

ModemsDLm8100 is shipped with a minimum of two modems. Each Management VTE supportsa modem.

In addition, DLm8100 systems with VNX back-end systems can support two or fourmore modems depending on the number of VNX7500/VNX7600 storage subsystemsattached. Each VNX storage subsystem supports two Control Stations and eachControl Station supports a modem; thus, a DLm8100 system with two VNX7500/VNX7600 storage subsystems supports six modems.

Data Domain systems do not need a modem and is therefore not shipped with one.

DLm8100 VNX and DD Configuration and Host ConnectivityThis section covers the configuration and host connectivity details of the DLm8100with VNX and DD system.

Network software ports needed to support DLm Replication operationsTo support DLm replication operations between backend storage systems, you mustconfigure your firewalls to allow traffic on particular network ports that are differentfor each backend storage system type.

External network and phone line requirementsThe following diagram shows the customer (external) connections for DLm8100 withVNX and Data Domain.

DLm8100 with VNX and Data DomainFigure 2 Customer (external) connections for DLm8100

DLm8100 has at least one management VTE (the first VTE). If a second VTE isconfigured it will be the second management VTE. Each Management VTE has two 1GbE ports (for redundancy) which should be connected to your organization network.It is recommended that one port from each Management VTE is connected to onenetwork switch and the other two ports are connected to another network switch.This ensures that failure of one switch does not affect Management VTE connectivity.

The cables to connect these ports to your network are not supplied with DLm.Therefore, you should provide four network cables to connect the Management VTEto your network.

The following table lists the external customer network requirements for DLm8100.

Replication connectionsAs needed, the customer provides network cables for VNX and Data Domainreplication connections. The number of cables required depends partly on the numberof installed VNX Data Movers and Data Domain systems. The replication ports inVNX7600 systems use copper (CAT-5 or CAT-6) cables. The replication ports inVNX7500 systems use copper (CAT-5 or CAT-6) cables or fibre (optical) cablesdepending on which replication I/O ports you plan to use. Each Data Domain systemcan have 2 to 4 copper (CAT-5 or CAT-6) ports for replication.

The following table lists the replication cable requirements for DLm8100.

DLm8100 VMAX Physical Planning OverviewA DLm8100 VMAX configuration is composed of a VTEC cabinet with tape emulationengines and VDX switches, one VNX VG8 gateway cabinet, one VMAX systemcabinet, and up to 10 VMAX storage cabinets.

CAUTION

The DLm8100 VTEC, VNX VG8, and VMAX cabinet equipment enclosures andpower systems are designed to support DLm8100 system equipment only. EMCdoes not support any other components in these cabinets, and recommends thatyou do not install any additional equipment in the DLm8100 cabinets.

Note

In addition to the DLm Release Notes and EMC DLm User guides, refer to the MCSymmetrix VMAX 20K/VMAX Series Physical Planning Guide for additional information.

VTEC cabinetThe DLm8100 VTEC cabinet contains:

l One to eight VTEs

l Two 10 GbE VDX6740 48 port switches

l Two 1GbE ATI 9924TL 24 port switches

VNX VG8 CabinetThe DLm8100 VNX VG8 cabinet contains:

l One or two storage systems (VG8s). Each VG8 contains -

n One to four Data Mover Enclosures

n Two to eight Storage Controllers (Data Movers)


l Two DS-6510B Fibre Channel switches are shipped loose with the system. EMCrecommends they be installed in the VNX cabinet, just above the Control Stations.Switch1 should be installed in position 26U in the VNX cabinet and switch2 shouldbe installed in position 27U in the VNX cabinet.DLm 4.2.0 and later supports a second storage system (VNX VG8-2) in nas_rdfconfiguration comprising all the fixed and optional components as present in VNXVG8-1.

The DLm8100 VNX VG8 cabinet has four power zones with independent powercables—one for each side, capable of powering a fully configured cabinet.

For DLm8100 VMAX power requirements, see DLm power requirements on page 33.

DLm2100 with Data Domain or CloudArray Physical Planning 35

Overview of DLm2100DLm2100 is a tape-on-disk controller. It emulates up to 256 drives. Data written to orread from these tape drives by the mainframe is stored and retrieved from a disksubsystem attached to the controller.

The tape data is stored in disk files that correspond to physical volumes of tape, with asingle file holding the data for one tape volume. The files are identified and correlatedto a volume by the tape Volume Serial Number (VOLSER), which is acquired from theLoad Display command sent from the host whenever it wants a tape volume to bemounted for reading or writing.

The DLm2100 consists of a single controller plus one or two storage options. Thestorage option may be shared with another DLm2100. The DLm2100 supports one ofthe following storage options:

l One Data Domain

l One CloudArray

l One Data Domain and one CloudArray

The Data Domain/CloudArray storage system may be one of several different systemscurrently supported. This planning guide only covers the DLm2100 controller.Information regarding the specific storage system must be obtained separately.

DLm2100 with Data DomainDLm combined with Data Domain offers deduplication features that deliver theaggregate throughput performance needed for enterprise data centers. This model'sin-line deduplication provides the most efficient solution for storing virtual tapes forbackup and archive applications. This results in lower storage costs and efficient useof replication links as only the unique data is transported between the sites.

DLm2100 with CloudArrayThe CloudArray appliance attached to a DLm provides a cloud gateway that makescloud storage look like NAS storage to the DLm VTE. A DLm2100 with CloudArrayallows you to schedule and maintain pointer-driven, in-cloud snapshots of your datafor greater protection.

DLm2100 Physical specificationsThis section cover the physical specifications for the DLm2100.

Physical dataThe DLm2100 is a 2U (3.5" high) rack-mountable system. The DLm is designed to beinstalled into an industry standard 19" RETMA cabinet. When fully configured, theweight of the DLm2100 system is 59 lb (27 kg). DLm2100 is shipped with a field installkit that includes rails. Identify the cabinet in which you will install the DLm, follow theinstructions that accompanied rail kit to mount rail into you cabinet, and then mountthe DLm onto the rails.

DLm2100 with Data Domain or CloudArray Physical Planning


External network and phone line requirementsDLm2100 has two 1 GbE ports, which should be connected to your organization'snetwork. The cables to connect these ports to your network are not supplied withDLm. Therefore, you should provide two network cables per DLm2100.

DLm2100 provides a modem as an optional mechanism for calling home and remoteaccess. (The EMC-recommended mechanism is to use ConnectEMC/ESRS.)

Each DLm2100 requires:

l Two 1 GbE network cables

l One phone line

Shipping dimensionsThe DLm2100 ships in a box with the dimensions of 37.8 in x 23.0 in x 11.7 in (96.0cm x58.5 cm x 29.8 cm).

System placementBoth the DLm2100 and the storage system are designed to install into an industrystandard 19" RETMA cabinet. Rack-mounting rails are provided with the DLm2100. If acabinet was not purchased with the DLm2100 or the storage system, you must provideone. A large system may consist of two cabinets which should be placed side by side.

You can install the system on a solid floor or a raised floor. Although not required, araised floor environment is preferred.

Power requirements for DLm2100This section describes the North American electrical specifications, power cables,connectors, and extension cords for a DLm configuration. The following tablesummarizes the power requirements.

Note

The system's environment must have temperature and humidity values that preventcondensation from occurring on any system part. Altitude and atmospheric pressurespecifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F (14.8°C). Maximum wetbulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).

Regulatory complianceDLm meets regulatory requirements as referenced by the following UL/IEC/EN 609503rd Edition:

5.1.7 Equipment with touch (leakage) current exceeding 3.5mA.

For Stationary Permanently Connected Equipment, or Stationary PluggableEquipment Type B, having a main protective earthing terminal, if the Touch (Leakage)Current measurements exceed 3.5mA r.m.s., following conditions apply:

l The r.m.s. Protective Conductor Current will not exceed five percent of the inputcurrent per line under normal operating conditions. If the load is unbalanced, thelargest of the single-phase currents shall be used for this calculation.

To measure the Protective Conductor Current, the procedure for measuringTouch Current is used, but the measuring instrument is replaced by an ammeter ofnegligible impedance.

l The cross-sectional area of the Protective Bonding Conductor will not be less than1.0 mm squared in the path of high Protective Conductor Current.

l A label with wording similar to the following shall be affixed adjacent to theequipment AC MAINS SUPPLY connection:

HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT

Earth connection essential

before connecting supply

The DLm configurations are Stationary Pluggable Type B systems, and the applicationof the warning label, EMC P/N 046-000-309, are in English and French. The labellocation for the DLm configuration is on the inside of the front door.


Regulatory compliance 41

DLm touch current complianceDLm is designated as a fixed (stationary) electrical equipment with high earth-leakagemarkings. Connect the cabinets to the AC supply with the recommended rated currentbreakers and the attached cables. DLm power requirements on page 33 providesdetails of the recommended circuit breaker ratings. These recommended breakerratings are based on the maximum kW loading of the cabinet and not on the kVAfigures of a particular configuration. The kVA values listed in this manual are intendedfor air conditioning and utility loading purposes only. Power and cooling data on page26 contains detailed information.

CAUTION

Do not connect the DLm VTEC cabinet power supplies on separate Main andAuxiliary circuit panels to differential trip devices. These devices are typicallycalled Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI),Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB), or Residual Current Circuit Breakers.

Because DLm systems are high earth-leakage devices, differential trip devices(typically 30 mA) are not recommended due to random activation during utility feeddistortions and power line transients interacting with the cabinet noise filters. Thesedifferential devices have trip ratings of 5 mA to 500 mA and are mostly intended forconsumer goods rather than fixed devices.

If the DLm cabinet is correctly grounded to the AC power source, leakage current willnot produce a voltage leading to electrical shock. Serious insulation breakdowns willtrip the breakers feeding the cabinet or, preferably first clear fuses in individualinternal modules closest to the fault.

Choosing a UPSThe VTEC and Storage Controllers (Data Movers) are stateless, so no battery backupis required. In the event of a power failure, the Storage Processor writes contents ofthe write cache to disk, before shutdown. Although DLm does not require a batterybackup to ensure data integrity, to avoid potential downtime, purchase a UPS from aqualified vendor.

EMC neither offers nor recommends any specific UPS suppliers or product type to itscustomers. However, EMC uses preferred suppliers for UPS systems in their facilities.Therefore, if you, the customer, are implementing a UPS, EMC recommends thefollowing:

l When you are planning the UPS solution for a DLm and the host system ispresently (or will potentially be) protected with a UPS, the battery backup timeyou propose for the DLm UPS solution should match that of the host system.

l The DLm requires independent zone B and zone A power feeds for each cabinet.

l The UPS should be equipped with an internal output isolation transformer.

l The UPS should be installed as a separately derived AC source using neutral andground wiring to preserve the fault tolerance specification of the DLm powersystem.

l Depending on the power requirements for your DLm system operation, an isolationtransformer/stabilizer installed in front of the UPS could further buffer the AC



utility environmental factors from reaching DLm. To determine if an isolationtransformer/stabilizer is needed, consult a licensed electrician.
