| Description |
|
The N5500 filers now support attachment of EXN1000 and EXN2000 expansion units with configurations of fewer than 14 disk drives. The initial order for an N5500 and any expansion unit must include no more than two drive types (rotational speed, capacity, and drive interface [FC or SATA]) to be attached to the N5500 filer. Additional drive types may be added later, to an installed N5500 system, resulting in more than two types on the system.
All of the licensed functions necessary to support the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) on HP-UX and Solaris are also now supported for the N5500. These include SnapDrive for HP-UX and Solaris. All necessary host attach kits for these platforms are also available.
Other licensed functions for the N5500, now available, include Disk Sanitization, SnapManager for SQL, SnapManager for Exchange, and Single Mailbox Recovery (SMBR).
Disk Sanitization is a no-cost, licensed solution that is designed to allow physical removal of all data on one, or more, physical disk drives in a manner that prevents recovery of that data by known recovery methods.
SnapManager for SQL is designed to help reduce backup and restore times of SQL databases by using backups based upon snapshot copies. It is designed to allow simultaneous backup of multiple databases and using minimal disk space for each additional full backup.
SnapManager for Exchange is designed to help streamline storage management while simplifying configuration, backup, and restore operations for Microsoft Exchange databases.
Single Mailbox Recovery is designed to work with SnapManager for Exchange, and restore individual mail items from any recent (hourly, daily, or weekly) snapshot. This helps allow rapid search of archived snapshot copies of previously deleted messages that are no longer in the current mailbox. Single Mailbox Recovery also includes Extract Wizards for Microsoft NT Backup, VERITAS Backup Exec, and, optionally, Extract Wizards for CA BrightStor ARCserve, Legato NetWorker, and VERITAS Net Backup. The Extract Wizards are designed to restore both private and public exchange information and stored data from tape or disk backups to any alternate location (machine, volume, or folder), thereby helping eliminate the need for a recovery server.
Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act
The IBM System Storage N5500 is capable, as of March 17, 2006, when used in accordance with IBM's associated documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used with the product properly interoperates with it. A U.S. Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) can be requested via IBM's Web site at

Configuration indicators
Feature numbers 9557, 9558, and 9559 must be specified to verify that sufficient Fibre Channel ports (and sufficient FC HBA for Disk, Dual-port adapters, #1004) are included in the initial order for an N5500 filer.
For an N5500 Model A10, the maximum number of feature number 9557 that may be specified is four and the total of feature numbers 9558 and 9559 may not exceed four.
For an N5500 Model A20, the maximum number of feature number 9557 that may be specified is eight and the total of feature numbers 9558 and 9559 may not exceed eight.
(#9557) Number of FC Target Ports: This no-charge feature specifies the number of onboard Fibre Channel ports that are to be configured as FCP target ports. FCP target ports are used for Fibre Channel attachment of the N5500 to application servers (containing Fibre Channel HBAs) or to Fibre Channel SANs.
This feature is only relevant if you intend to use the Fibre Channel Protocol feature on the N5500. For an N5500 Model A10, valid choices are 0, 2, and 4. For a Model A20, valid choices are 0, 4, and 8.
(#9558) Number of FC Storage Loops: This no-charge feature specifies, on the initial order of an N5500 filer, the number of dual-path Fibre Channel storage loops that are to be configured for the attachment of EXN2000 storage expansion units. The EXN2000 expansion units, included in the initial order, will be distributed across the specified number of storage loops.
(#9559) Number of SATA Storage Loops:
This no-charge feature specifies, on the initial order of an N5500
filer, the number of dual-path Fibre Channel storage loops that are to be
configured for the attachment of EXN1000 SATA storage expansion units.
The EXN1000 expansion units, included in the initial order, will be
distributed across the specified number of storage loops.
