VTS functional enhancements

 
All shipments of the 3494 VTS Models B10 and B20 shipped after June 3,

 2005, include support for attachment to a 3953 Library Manager Model L05,

 larger logical volume sizes, more logical volumes per VTS, secure data

 erase, high-capacity cache options, and PtP VTS mode select enhancements.

 Support for these functional enhancements on an installed VTS Model B10

 or B20 requires a functional microcode firmware update by ordering the

 following feature:

 


 
#0521 (Functional Enhancement Field) on the 3494 VTS Model B10 or

 B20.  This requires the microcode firmware of the library manager (LM) in

 the 3494 Base Frame (and Model HA1 Frame if applicable) to be at level

 531, or later, which may require an update to that microcode firmware.

 


 
Note: An upgrade to the LM hardware in the 3494 may also be required to

 support this microcode firmware update.  Any 3494 Model L1x with feature

 number 9020, or one that has a LM installed since May 15, 2000, should

 have a "compatible" LM that will work with this new microcode firmware.

 Any prior LM is not "compatible" and must be replaced by ordering the LAN

 PCI Library Manager feature (#5047) on the 3494 Tape Library Model HA1,

 L10, L12, or L14.  If the LM microcode level is at 527.xx, or later, then

 the LM hardware prerequisites are already satisfied.  The LM microcode

 level can be checked by selecting "About" from the "Help" pull-down menu

 on the LM Operator Menu.  You may need the assistance of a customer

 engineer to determine if the LAN PCI Library Manager feature (#5047) must

 be ordered.

 
3953 attachment

 
Tape drives in a 3584 Tape Library can be attached to a VTS Model B10

 or B20.  The following feature must be added to the 3494 Model B10 or B20

 to indicate attachment to 3592 Tape Drives in a 3584 Tape Library instead

 of to tape drives in a 3494 Tape Library:

 


 
9217 (Attachment to 3953 Library Manager)

 


 
Larger logical volume sizes

 
Options for Data Class support the definition of a maximum storage

 capacity for a logical volume.  The default volume sizes of 400 and 800

 MB, correspond to the supported 3490 media types of Cartridge System Tape

 (CST) and Enhanced Capacity Cartridge System Tape (ECCST).  If a maximum

 volume size is defined, the size definition will override the default for

 that media type when a volume is mounted as a scratch volume.  Defined

 sizes other than the default media type are 1000, 2000, and 4000 MB

 (where a MB is 1024x1024 bytes).  This function requires installation of

 the Advanced Policy Management feature (#4001 to #4004) on the VTS.

 
Use of the 4000 MB size requires a VTS Model B20 with a quantity four

 of the 288/432 GB Disk Storage feature (#3705) and attached 3592 Tape

 Drives.

 
Note: This function is disabled if the High Capacity Cache feature

 (#4020) is installed.

 
Increased logical volumes

 
The base number of 250,000 logical volumes of a 3494 VTS Model B20 is

 increased with the addition of the following feature:

 


 
4036 (Increased Logical Volumes) - Each order of this feature

 increases the maximum number of logical volumes supported by 50,000, up

 to a maximum of 500,000.

 


 
For a VTS Model B20 installed prior to June 3, 2005, this may require

 the Functional Enhancement Field feature (#0521) as described above.

 
Note: Installation of this feature will reduce the amount of available

 customer storage on the physical volumes.  This is because the amount of

 space reserved for the database used for disaster recovery of a VTS

 subsystem is increased from 250 MB to 500 MB.

 
High Capacity Cache

 
A special VTS configuration provides a replacement product for

 customers currently storing DFSMSoam data on a 3995 Optical Library.

 When ordered, the following features replace the normal VTS disk storage

 feature (#3705) to enable the VTS to operate in this mode:

 


 
4020 (High Capacity Cache) replaces the VTS disk storage with 6.7 TB

 of physical capacity through the use of 146 GB disk drives, and sets the

 logical capacity to configure up to 1.67 TB of data and 2000 logical

 volumes.

 
4021 (Expanded Storage Capacity) expands the storage capacity by an

 additional 1.67 TB, and 2000 logical volumes.  It can be ordered up to a

 quantity of three.

 


 Use of the High Capacity Cache feature requires:

 


 
The attachment of 3592 Tape Drives, or 3590 Model E1A or H1A Tape

 Drives, to the VTS

 
Four ESCON or FICON channels, which cannot be intermixed:

 


 
Extended Performance ESCON Channels feature (#3412), quantity two

 
Long Wave FICON Channel feature (#3415), quantity four

 
Short Wave FICON Channel feature (#3416), quantity four

The VTS Model B10 or B20 can now attach the 3592 Enterprise Tape Drive

 
The VTS Model B10 or B20 can attach the 3592 Enterprise Tape Drive

216a1446,1448

 
Note: If both Models D12 and D22 are attached to a Model B20, the Models

 D12 and D22 are not required to be adjacent in the 3494 Tape Library

 configuration.

233a1466,1467

 
1901 (Dual AC Power) is recommended if a Model HA1 is attached to the

 3494 Tape Library.

302a1537,1569

 
Convert 8 VTC to 4 VTC PtP

 
To convert from an 8 VTC to a 4 VTC VTS Model B20 PtP configuration,

 the following feature must be ordered on each VTS in that PtP

 configuration:

 


 
1026 (Convert 8 VTC to 4 VTC PtP)

 


 
8 VTC Model B18 to 4 VTC Model B20: The above feature

 number 1026 must be ordered on a MES with the B18 to B20 model

 conversion, and is only valid on a B18 to convert that to a Model B20.

 At least four channel adapter features must be removed from the Model B18

 with its conversion to a Model B20.  In addition, a VTS Model B20 with

 four attached VTCs requires a quantity two of feature number 5265

 (Incremental Virtual Drives).  A feature conversion is available to

 convert the feature number 5264 (64 Additional Virtual Drives) to one

 feature number 5265, and the second feature number 5265 must be added.

 
8 VTC Model B20 to 4 VTC Model B20: The above feature

 number 1026 must be ordered on a MES for each Model B20.  At least four

 channel adapter features must be removed from the Model B20.  A VTS Model

 B20 with four attached VTCs requires a quantity two of feature number

 5265 (Incremental Virtual Drives).  If the VTS Model B20 has two of

 feature number 5264 (64 Additional Virtual Drives), they can be converted

 into two of feature number 5265.  If the VTS Model B20 has four of

 feature number 5265, then two will have to be removed.  If the VTS Model

 B20 has zero of feature number 5265, then two will have to be added.

 
8 VTC 4 VTC Model CX0/CX1: The conversion from an 8 to 4

 VTC PtP configuration may require a Model CX0 to Model CX1 conversion or

 a conversion of the existing VTCs in a Model CX1.  If the Model CX0 or

 CX1 does not match the required configuration, the necessary features

 (#11xx, #1023, #1024, or #1025) or feature conversions must be ordered on

 the Model CX1.  Based on the Model CX0's or CX1's final configuration,

 the required corresponding host adapters may also need to be ordered on

 the VTSs.

304,1309c1571,1576

 
The Dual Path Attachment feature (#5245) is now required on any new

 order of a VTS Model B10 or B20, or when adding the 3592 Drive Attached

 to VTS feature (#5238) to an installed VTS Model B10 or B20.  This will

 require adding the Dual Concentrator feature (#5246) to the Model Lxx

 Frame if it is not already installed.  The Dual Path Attachment is

 recommended on all VTS systems for improved availability.

 
The Dual Path Attachment feature (#5245) is required when the 3592

 Drive Attached to VTS feature (#5238) is installed on a VTS Model B10 or

 B20.  This also requires adding the Dual Concentrator feature (#5246) to

 the Model Lxx Frame if it is not already installed.  The Dual Path

 Attachment is recommended on all VTS systems with 3592 Tape Drives

 attached for improved availability.

328a1596,1600

 
Note: FICON Enablement is prerequisite for FICON attachments.  Also, to

 convert a Model B18 in a PtP configuration to a Model B20 PtP

 configuration with FICON channels, the Model B18 must first be converted

 to a Model B20 and then the channels can be converted from ESCON to FICON

 afterwards.

330a1603,1605

 
5265 (Incremental Virtual Drives) - zero, two, or four depending on

 the configuration (two of #5265 must be installed for a 4 VTC PtP

 configuration)

346,1347c1621,1623

 
If the Model B18 is in a PtP configuration with only four VTCs, add

 four additional VTCs, and the associated Model CX0 or CX1 Frames

 
If the Model B18 is in a PtP configuration, add VTCs and the

 associated Model CX0 or CX1 Frames (required if the Model B20 would not

 have only two of #5265 installed)

351d1626

 
Note: FICON Enablement is prerequisite for FICON attachments.

357a1633,1634

 
5265 (Incremental Virtual Drives) - zero, two, or four depending on

 the configuration

364a1642

 
Note: FICON Enablement is prerequisite for FICON attachments.

366,1367c1644,1648

 
If the Model B10 is in a PtP configuration, add four additional VTCs,

 and the associated Model CX0 or CX1 Frames

 
If the Model B10 is in a PtP configuration, add additional VTCs and

 the associated Model CX0 or CX1 Frames (required if the Model B20 would

 not have only two of #5265 installed)

 
If the Model B10 is in a PtP configuration with a Model B18, the

 Model B18 must first be converted to a Model B20

371d1651
