All persistent images are designed to survive system power loss or a planned or unplanned re-boot. Each instance of PSM is designed to handle 250 concurrent data images. Typically, any image can be easily managed through the Microsoft Web user interface, and accessed the same as any other active volume. In case of data corruption or loss, typically, any persistent image can be used for instant restoration of the entire volume from the image, which can help substantially reduce the amount of system down time. PSM is designed to:
IBM Director with Universal Manageability (UM) Services V3.11 The NAS Gateway 300 system preloaded code contains IBM Director Agent V3.11. This provides the Gateway 300 with a client management application for networked computers, helping centralize control of your computer systems and lower the total cost of management. The IBM Director Agent is designed to allow the user to view, monitor, and control the NAS Gateway 300 through a management application such as the IBM Director/Server. UM Services is one of the Universal Manageability solutions from IBM. UM Services is also intended to allow you to:
Because UM Services use some of the latest systems management standards, including Common Information Model (CIM), Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), and the eXtensible Markup Language (XML), management of the NAS Gateway 300 can typically be integrated with most enterprise management environments. The IBM Director/Server is designed to provide the additional management functions that can be used to aid in managing the Gateway 300, such as Advanced Systems Management, Capacity Manager, Cluster Systems Management, Fibre Channel Storage, IBM Rack Manager, and ServeRAID™ Manager. Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) V4.2.2 The IBM NAS Gateway 300 comes with the TSM Agent and Client V4.2.2 software pre-installed and ready to license to allow backup of the Gateway 300 data to a TSM server. This backup client is designed to provide file level backup and restore functionality. TSM is designed to be a full-function storage software solution that addresses the challenges of complex storage management across a distributed environment. It can manage a broad range of data storage, recovery, and availability functions across your entire computing infrastructure, from the massive enterprise file servers in your data center to the storage peripherals throughout your organization and to the laptops in your remote offices. TSM is designed to enable organizations with large amounts of mission-critical data held on distributed heterogeneous platforms to interface with up to seven different platforms, including Windows 2000, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, AIX®, OS/390®, VM, and OS/400®. For additional information on TSM, refer to the following Web site: Tivoli SANergy™ V2.2.3 Tivoli SANergy software is pre-installed and ready to license on the TotalStorage NAS Gateway 300 to enable two different solution offerings that are designed to provide the benefits of a NAS device with the higher performance and scalability of a SAN. For customers using the NAS Gateway 300 as a Web or FTP server, multiple Gateway 300s can be connected to the same storage to provide increased I/O to the same files on SAN storage. By connecting more Gateway 300s to the SAN, IT administrators can accommodate increasing numbers of HTTP or FTP requests for the same data on the SAN by clients across the LAN. Similarly, for individual computers requiring higher bandwidth access to the SAN storage than any LAN connection can provide, the pre-installed Tivoli SANergy is also ready to license and use. Many computers connected to the NAS Gateway 300 can have higher bandwidth access to SAN storage by purchasing another license for Tivoli SANergy software and adding a Fibre Channel host bus adapter. With these two pieces and a direct SAN connection to the NAS Gateway 300's Fibre Channel storage, these bandwidth-hungry computers can receive data from the NAS Gateway 300 at up to 100 MB per second. Tivoli SANergy is designed to dynamically route data to either the LAN or SAN to provide optimum network utilization. These simple steps not only increase disk to computer bandwidth for individual computers, but also help reduce CPU utilization on those computers while accessing SAN storage; reduce data copy and transfer times between any computer connected this same way; and reduce traffic over the LAN. For more information on Tivoli SANergy, contact Tivoli, or refer to: Domainlet The Domainlet feature allows for a subset of the full domain function to be implemented on the clustered NAS Engines rather than in a separate Domain Controller server. This feature will enable the creation of a new "Domain" that encompasses just the cluster itself and exists only to provide authentication and authorization for the cluster service and any other installed services for the Model G27 supporting the cluster feature. The second node in the cluster will be a replica to the new "Domainlet" and will contain well-known policies and groups, such as administrators, domain administrators, and the service accounts required by the clusters it supports, but nothing else. The "Domainlet" configuration is subject to the following license restriction: This NAS product is not licensed to provide full domain controller function, but may be used as a "Domainlet" to the limited extent necessary to form a server cluster and authenticate users accessing resources on this NAS server cluster where:
The function included in this release eliminates the need for a separate, external Windows-based "Domain Controller" for the formation of the cluster in a UNIX-only environment, which may not have this function available. Services for UNIX V2.2+QFE Services for UNIX V2.2+QFE can support enhanced performance for NFS V2. Services for NetWare V5 (SFN5) This release incorporates Windows SFN5 as the means to provide interoperability within the Novell environment. SFN5 provides a complete set of new interoperability services and tools for integrating the Windows 2000-based servers into existing NetWare environments. Only NetWare V5 Print and File services are included in the preloaded code and is required for supporting NetWare File system protocol. Since the NAS emulates a NetWare file server including the NetWare UI, individual NetWare users, and/or servers can access the NAS as if it were another NetWare server. Clustering is not supported by the SFN5. Storage Manager for SAK V2 This release of the preloaded code includes Storage Manager for SAK V2, a storage management tool that includes the following functions:
Storage Reports address disk usage, wasted storage space, file ownership, security, and administration. Reports can run interactively, scheduled on a regular basis, or run as part of a storage resource management policy when disk space utilization reaches a critical level. Directory Quotas allows the administrator to add, delete, monitor, and change disk space limits for selected directories on the NAS appliance. Directory Quotas provide disk space monitoring and control in real time, and support active and passive limits with two real-time space alarms. File Screening allows the blocking of any file type such as MP3, graphics files, VBS viruses, and executables from writing to the NAS appliance. NAS Setup Navigator The NAS Setup Navigator provides a GUI that guides the user through the steps required to initially configure the IBM NAS products. The tasks that need to be performed are displayed in a two-level menu tree on the left side of the screen. When the user selects a task, the right side of the screen displays a brief description of that task. In many cases, a content window will also contain a description of where to get more detailed information. The basic configuration tasks described are:
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Agent The preloaded code includes a UPS agent to receive power failure notifications from an external UPS product. An external UPS unit may be added to provide emergency backup power for a specific period of time when the local power fails. This power comes from batteries housed within the UPS. During a power failure, the UPS is designed to instantly switch your server appliance to emergency battery backup power. The UPS agent enables you to control how the UPS service works on your server appliance. The available UPS settings depend on the specific UPS hardware used on your system. You will need to configure the following information:

Planning InformationCustomer Responsibilities: The NAS Gateway 300, 5196 Model G27 is designated as customer setup. Customer setup information and installation instructions are shipped with each system. Configuration Information The 5196 Model G27 is designed to be configured and have administrative tasks done from a remote network or management station. Included with these products are the Windows Terminal Service (WTS) and Microsoft Management Console (MMC), which help simplify the configuration and administrative tasks and procedures. These tools are a part of the preloaded OS package residing on the system hard disk and CD-ROM shipped with the systems. The CD-ROM contains client software that is loaded on the remote Network Station™ on the LAN that communicates with the Model G27 to perform configuration and administrator tasks and procedures. Optionally, the IBM Director, running on a network management console on the LAN, can also be used to perform these tasks. Rack Installations The NAS 5196 Model G27 requires 5U rack units per engine, and are to be installed in a 19-inch rack cabinet designed for 26-inch deep devices. If using a non-IBM rack, the cabinet must meet the EIA-310-D standards with a depth of at least 28 inches. Also, adequate space (approximately two inches for the front bezel and one inch for air flow) must be maintained from the slide assembly to the front door of the rack cabinet to allow sufficient space for the door to close and provide adequate air flow. Power Considerations The NAS 5196 Model G27 engines have two, 560-watt hot-swappable power supplies, which are redundant for high availability. The power supplies are auto-sensing, auto-ranging, and designed for operation on AC power sources that provide either 90-137 V ac (50-60 Hz) or 180-265 V ac (50-60 Hz). Power Cords: Power cords for the 5196 Model G27 must be specified when initial orders are placed for the system. Refer to the Hardware Requirements section for a listing of power cords and the applicable (where used) countries. Network Cables: All network cables that attach the NAS Gateway 300 Model G27 to the Ethernet LAN and the SAN are supplied by the user. Cable Orders Cabling Considerations for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Adapters: The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Adapters for the NAS Gateway 300 have RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 connector provides a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX interface for connecting twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet network. Cabling is not included with the systems or these adapters if ordered as field features. To connect the Ethernet adapters to a repeater or switch, use an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 100 Mbps operation, Category 5 cabling, or higher must be used. For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3, or higher, cabling must be used. Cabling Considerations for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Copper Adapter: The 10/100/1000 Mbps Copper Ethernet Adapter for the NAS Gateway 300 has a RJ-45 connector. The RJ-45 connector provides a 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T interface for connecting twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet network. Cabling is not included with the systems or these adapters ordered as field features. To connect the Ethernet adapters to a repeater or switch, use an UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Category 5 cabling, or higher, must be used. Cabling Considerations for Gigabit SX Ethernet Adapter: The Gigabit SX Ethernet Adapter has a duplex type SC connector for connection of multimode fibre optical cable. This adapter can use either 50 micron or 62.5 micron multimode fiber optic cable. The maximum cable distance for 62.5 micron cable is 275 meters (902 ft). The maximum cable distance with 50 micron cable is 550 meters (1,804 ft). Cabling Considerations for Fibre Channel Adapters: The 1-port and 2-port Fibre Channel Adapters have compact female type LC duplex connectors for each port. These adapters can use either 50 micron or 62.5 micron type SFP multimode fibre optic cable. For 50 micron cable:
