Hardware Announcement 101-342 November 13, 2001 IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server Now Includes a 72.8 GB Drive Option for Improved Scalability and Price/Performance
At a GlanceThe Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) has been enhanced to offer increased scalability and improved price/performance with support for 72.8 GB disk drives.
For ordering, contact: Your IBM representative, an IBM Business Partner, or IBM Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL (Reference: YE001). OverviewThe IBM TotalStorage™ Enterprise Storage Server™ (ESS), IBM's premier storage solution for use in Storage Area Networks (SANs), now supports 72.8 GB drives. With the new option for 72.8 GB drives, the ESS offers configurations with increased scalability and improved price/performance that enable users to harness the vast terabytes of data required to help meet their business requirements. These higher capacity drives, in conjunction with drive intermix capability, provide exceptional scalability for fast growth and the ability to adapt to changing storage requirements. Key PrerequisitesIBM 2105 ESS Models F10 or F20 with ESS Licensed Internal Code (LIC) level 1.5.0, or later.
Planned Availability DateDecember 14, 2001, with the following exception: January 25, 2002
Description72.8 GB Drives Increase Scalability and Offer New Price/Performance Options With 72.8 GB drives, RAID-5 effective capacity of an Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) has increased to over 22 TB, providing exceptional scalability. Furthermore, these new drives, in conjunction with drive intermix support, provide a vast number of ESS configuration options. As a result, price/performance can be optimized to meet specific server and application requirements — all within a single ESS. 72.8 GB Drives Offer Outstanding Performance IBM's ESS customers have become accustomed to high levels of performance for their most demanding workloads. With the availability of the 72.8 GB drive support, the performance requirements of many of these demanding workloads can continue to be met — at a lower cost. IBM recommends that all ESS customers consider using these new drives. The 72.8 GB drives provide superior seek and throughput characteristics (as compared to other drives offered within the ESS) thereby allowing each drive to satisfy more demand. Moreover, access densities (I/O operations per second per GB disk space) continue to decline, so workloads migrated to 72.8 GB drives will often not notice any material difference in performance. Some customers have very high demand workloads that may be very cache-unfriendly or have a very high random write content. These workloads may still require lower capacity drives (more drives are required for a given capacity). For these workloads, customers may want to consider purchasing lower capacity drives or, for environments with mixed workloads with different characteristics, an intermix of drive capacities.
As always, IBM recommends asking your disk marketing specialist to model
your workload migration with Disk Magic. This tool can help predict
response times given the disk size and hardware configuration under
consideration. For additional details, ask your IBM representative or
IBM Business Partner for a copy of the performance flash that describes
ESS performance with the new 72.8 GB drives.

Planning InformationPhysical Planning Physical planning information can be found in the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server Introduction and Planning Guide (GC26-7294). Planning for 72.8 GB Drives Your disk marketing specialist can help you plan and anticipate required levels of performance by analyzing your current configuration, utilization and performance, and modelling proposed configurations. Upon request, your IBM marketing representative or IBM Business Partner can also provide you with a copy of the performance flash that describes ESS performance with the new 72.8 GB drives. Capacity Calculation With the Flexible Capacity Option features (#9500 and #9600), capacity is ordered by explicitly selecting the type and quantity of Disk Eight-Pack features desired. Table 1 should be used as the basis for determining the capacity of a given configuration.

Notes:
RAID-5 Capacity Calculation for Non-Intermix Configurations A spare pool consisting of two drives (created with two 6+P arrays) is created on every SSA loop. As a result, all disk eight-packs in the ESS base enclosure are configured as 6+P arrays, while all disk eight-packs in the Expansion Enclosure are configured as 7+P arrays. Table 2 displays the RAID-5 effective capacity for the various configuration options now available. Table 2 - RAID-5 Capacity Calculation for Non-Intermix Configurations

RAID-5 Capacity Calculation for Intermix Configurations Multiple drive sizes (intermix of Disk Eight-Pack features) are supported within a SSA loop. The first two RAID-5 arrays configured on each loop for each drive size are configured as 6+P, providing up to two spares for each size. For intermix configurations, all disk eight-packs in the ESS base enclosure are configured as 6+P arrays (same as for non-intermix configurations). For configurations with an Expansion Enclosure, intermix may result in additional spares being created (additional 6+P arrays), as compared to non-intermix configurations. Two additional 6+P arrays will be created whenever a new drive size is added to a SSA loop. For new machine or MES orders which include intermix, the disk eight-packs will be installed into the machine as follows:
Your IBM storage specialist can help you calculate your RAID-5 effective capacity in intermix configurations. Advanced Function License Capacity Calculation For advanced functions (#18xx features), ESS capacity should be calculated using the effective capacity of a RAID-5 6+P array. All disk eight-packs, including Step Ahead Disk Eight-Packs (#213x), must be included in the capacity calculation. PAV (#180x) and XRC (#181x):
PPRC (#182x) and FlashCopy (#183x):
