Appendix C.

Ordering options for the IBM XIV

Storage System

The IBM XIV Storage System Gen3 model shown in Figure C-1 is ordered according to the capacity required. The minimum physical installation is six data modules yielding 55 TB of usable storage (there is also a Capacity on Demand (CoD) plan allowing a three-module 28 TB minimum entry point). Although 28 TB is the minimum configuration for the XIV system using CoD, it is appropriate only for storage requirements that grow to at least 55 TB in a one to three-year period.

FC iSCSI Inter-module Connectivity Host Host Host

15 data modules, each containing:

• 12 high-density SAS disk drives • 24 GB memory

• Quad-core Intel CPU

• 2 x 20 Gbps InfiniBand HCA ports

Host connectivity:

• 24 x 8 Gbps FC ports • 22 x 1 Gbps iSCSI ports

2 InfiniBand switches:

• Redundant inter-module connectivity • 600 Gbps total internal bandwidth

3 UPS modules:

• Stable power to all system components

• Safe shutdown upon power outage

Cache CPU Interface Disks UPS Data Module Data Module UPS UPS Data Module Data Module

Each XIV system includes all of the following software at no additional cost:

򐂰 Thin provisioning

򐂰 Snapshots

򐂰 Sync and async replication

򐂰 “Host connection” software

򐂰 Fibre Channel connectivity

򐂰 ISCSI connectivity

򐂰 Performance monitoring

򐂰 Migration software

Basically, all XIV systems include all XIV features, and there are no “options” or additional software features that must be ordered.

Initial configuration options for the IBM Storage System XIV Gen2 and Gen3 models are shown in Table C-1.

Table C-1 Configuration options for XIV Storage System Gen3 models

If ordered initially with less than 15 data modules, the XIV system Gen3 model can be upgraded using the increments in Table C-1. Additional capacity, processing, connectivity, and cache can all be created as needed without disruption or performance impact.

Capacity on demand (CoD)

With the CoD ordering option for the XIV system Gen3 model, customers benefit from the full processing, caching, and drive spindle performance of the physically deployed system, yet only the minimum necessary capacity must be ordered initially.

The minimum usable capacity purchased in a CoD configuration is 28 TB (other initial increments are available). This minimum entry point consists of three CoD data modules and three CoD I/O data modules. As shown in Figure C-2 on page 39, this configuration provides 28 TB of purchased capacity and 27 TB of in-place expansion.

Number of disks 72 108 120 132 144 156 168 180

Appendix C. Ordering options for the IBM XIV Storage System 39

Although there is a slight premium per usable TB for CoD options, the performance of CoD purchased capacity benefits from the additional processor, memory, FC ports, and spindles in a base 55 TB configuration.
