IBM TotalStorage DS300 Storage Subsystem

The IBM TotalStorage DS300 Storage Subsystem is an entry level, cost effective workgroup storage subsystem for xSeries customers. Offering high value SCSI disk drive technology with cost effective Ethernet data ports, the solution can be used in either DAS or SAN environments for shared storage. The TotalStorage DS300 Storage Subsystem uses a rack-mountable 3U, 14 U320 SCSI drive enclosure with redundant hot-swap power and cooling modules. Additionally, the enclosure supports either one or two controllers for high availability configurations. Each controller supports up to three 1 Gb Ethernet ports for management and redundant data paths.

Advanced software features

Advanced software features including access control lists and online array and LUN expansion provide the flexibility to configure storage according to your usage needs while also providing the ability to grow storage on the fly. These features enable IT managers to share storage across multiple application servers. Optional software features, such as Flashcopy and Metro Mirror, are made available through software keys which can be purchased separately. Flashcopy technology can reduce storage backup windows and improve storage utilization by isolating a separate point in time volume which can be mounted and used for backup to tape, nearline storage, or report generation with little or no impact to production data. Metro mirroring capabilities enable improved disaster recovery implementations to help protect critical data.

Storage Management

Storage management via IBM ServeRAID Manager is easy to use, allowing you to manage the DS300 subsystem, and direct attach ServeRAID storage with the same management console. The intuitive management GUI contains many useful features including product specific configuration wizards to simplify initial storage setup, and an extensive online help library. IBM ServeRAID Manager supports the most common operating environments for workgroup applications, including Windows, and Linux.

IBM TotalStorage DS300 Storage Subsystem

IBM TotalStorage DS300 Storage Subsystem delivers simplified storage expansion for xSeries customers.

An entry level iSCSI storage subsystem for xSeries customers offering workgroup storage with advanced functionality.

Highlights of IBM TotalStorage DS300 Storage Subsystem include:

  • Leverages standard Ethernet infrastructure to offer simple, affordable SAN solution

  • Cost effective iSCSI subsystem for workgroup storage applications such as:
    • File print
    • Web serving
    • Remote boot for diskless servers

  • Modular design allows easy upgrades and additions to match the application environment as it evolves

  • Single and Dual controller configurations

  • Easy to use IBM ServeRAID Manager provides common management software for IBM iSCSI-SCSI Subsystem and ServeRAID PCI RAID products

  • "Enterprise-class" software features for business continuance and disaster recovery, at entry level prices

  • Investment protection by using current xSeries disk drives and carriers

  • Scalable to 2 TB of storage using 146GB drives

The IBM TotalStorage DS300 Storage Subsystem is an entry level, cost effective workgroup storage subsystem for xSeries customers. Offering high value SCSI disk drive technology with cost effective Ethernet data ports, the solution can be used in either DAS or SAN environments for shared storage. The TotalStorage DS300 Storage Subsystem uses a rack-mountable 3U, 14 U320 SCSI drive enclosure with redundant hot-swap power and cooling modules. Additionally, the enclosure supports either one or two controllers for high availability configurations. Each controller supports up to three 1Gb Ethernet ports for management and redundant data paths.

Advanced Software Features

Advanced software features including access control lists and online array and LUN expansion provide the flexibility to configure storage according to customer usage needs while also providing the ability to grow storage on the fly. These features enable IT managers to share storage across multiple application servers. Optional software features such as Flashcopy and Metro Mirror are made available through software keys which can be purchased separately. Flashcopy technology can reduce storage backup windows and improve storage utilization by isolating a separate point in time volume which can be mounted and used for backup to tape, nearline storage, or report generation with little or no impact to production data. Metro Mirror capabilities enable improved disaster recovery implementations to help protect critical data.

Storage Management

Storage management via IBM ServeRAID Manager is easy to use, allowing customers to manage the DS300 subsystem, and direct attach ServeRAID storage with the same management console. The intuitive management GUI contains many useful features including product specific configuration wizards to simplify initial storage setup, and an extensive online help library. IBM ServeRAID Manager supports the most common operating environments for workgroup applications, including Windows, and Linux.
