96 for an array consisting of 7 HDDs (6+P). Also, logical volumes can be
added incrementally. This can even be done while I/O operations are ongoing
to other logical volumes which already exist on this array. In the same way,
logical volumes can also be selectively deleted again, freeing up space which
can then be used to create other logical volumes again.
Preloaded software is available
Internal Disk uses a RAID-5 organization for managing a collection of disks so
that high levels of data reliability and availability are maintained.
Usable disk storage capacity:
– 72 to 216 GB in the CPC cage
– Up to 288 GB in each of the expansion cages
Enhanced reliability by Predictive Failure Analysis
: A set of processes
continuously performed by the HDD is designed to predict disk drive failure
conditions before they occur.
End to end data protection
Low-cost disk subsystem: A high capacity Internal Disk subsystem with a very
low cost of ownership.
SSA Interface: The connection via the SSA adapter interface provides high
data transfer rates.
Concurrent Repair and Verify of HDDs.
Concurrent LIC patch for SAP microcode.
Control unit and data sharing among logical partitions.
Internal Disk RAID Fast Write (IDRFW) provides a fast write capability through
the SSA adapter card.
Host Processor
Internal Disk is packaged with the Multiprise 3000 which is a unique card on board
package that takes advantage of:
Integrated RAID Storage
Integrated Tape
Integrated Communications
Industry Standard PCI Adapters
S/390 ESCON
Channels
S/390 Parallel Channels
The Multiprise 3000 presents a low cost server platform that maintains most of the
S/390 traditional attributes. It is a small, office environment server that provides
state of the art LAN/WAN connection capabilities at an attractive price. The base
package satisfies new customer/workloads that do not have the traditional heavy
I/O channel demands. The basic frame that houses the CPC also contains up to 24
ESCON channels. If more channels are needed, an expansion frame with 32
additional ESCON channels is available.
The Multiprise 3000 is the entry level processor for the S/390 product family
designed for installation in any standard office environment without special
provisions. The unit is powered from single phase 100 to 240 volts ac, at either 50
or 60 hertz. Dual line cords are provided, each connected to one of the two N+1
