Introduction

IBM Storwize V5000 for Lenovo (Machine Type 6194) is a highly flexible, easy to use virtualized storage system that enables midsize organizations to meet the challenges of rapid data growth and limited IT budgets. As an intermediate Storwize family offering, Storwize V5000 enables organizations to consolidate and provide new capabilities to their infrastructures.

Storwize V5000 control enclosure models include two node canisters, each with 8 GB cache for a system total of 16 GB cache. Standard is 6 Gb SAS and 1 Gb iSCSI connectivity, with an option for 8 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) or 10 iSCSI or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity.

The LFF enclosure models support up to 12 3.5-inch drives, while the small form factor (SFF) enclosure models support up to 24 2.5-inch drives. High-performance disk drives, high-capacity nearline disk drives, and flash (solid-state drives [SSDs]) are supported. Drives of the same form factor can be intermixed within an enclosure, which provides the flexibility to address performance and capacity needs within a single enclosure. You can also intermix large form factor (LFF) and SFF expansion enclosures behind an LFF or SFF control enclosure.

A Storwize V5000 system scales up to 480 drives with the attachment of up to 19 Storwize V5000 expansion enclosures. All Storwize V5000 functional capabilities are provided through IBM Storwize Family Software for Storwize V5000. The Storwize V5000 SFF enclosure is shown in the following figure.

Did you know?

A single Storwize V5000 system can be scaled up to 1.92 PB of raw storage capacity. With external virtualization, the system can manage up to 32 PB in total.

Storwize V5000 offers hybrid block storage connectivity with support for 6 Gb SAS, 1 Gb iSCSI, and 10 Gb iSCSI or FCoE or 8 Gb FC at the same time.

Storwize V5000 systems can be clustered to help deliver greater performance, bandwidth, and scalability. A Storwize V5000 clustered system can contain two Storwize V5000 systems and up to 960 drives.

Storwize V5000 for Lenovo includes three or five years of Software Subscription and Support (model dependent).

Key features

The Storwize V5000 storage system provides the following features:

  • Scalable enterprise storage with a dual active/active intelligent array node canisters with 8 GB cache each for high availability and performance.
  • Flexible host connectivity to match diverse client needs with support for a mix of 6 Gb SAS, 1 Gb iSCSI, and 10 Gb iSCSI or FCoE or 8 Gb FC connectivity at the same time.
  • A 6 Gb SAS drive-side connectivity with support for 12x 3.5-inch LFF or 24x 2.5-inch SFF drives in the control enclosure, which are scalable up to 240 LFF drives per system with the attachment of Storwize V5000 LFF Expansion Enclosure (12x LFF drives each) or up to 480 SFF drives per system with the attachment of Storwize V5000 SFF Expansion Enclosure (24x SFF drives each) to satisfy growing needs for storage capacity and performance.
  • With two-way system clustering, the size of the system can be doubled to a maximum of 960 drives.
  • Further scalability can be achieved with virtualization of external storage. When Storwize V5000 virtualizes an external disk system, capacity in the external system inherits the functional richness and ease of use of Storwize V5000.
  • Flexibility in storing data on high-performance SAS SSDs, performance-optimized enterprise SAS hard disk drives (HDDs), or capacity-optimized enterprise NL SAS HDDs; mixing and matching drive types and form factors within a single system to perfectly meet performance and capacity requirements for various workloads.
  • Storwize V5000 combines various IBM technologies, including thin provisioning, automated tiering, external and internal storage virtualization, clustering, replication and multiprotocol support.
  • VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes (VVol) integration brings advanced storage management functions to the virtual machine level for finer VM storage service level control and policy-driven automation.

Note: VVol integration feature requires IBM Spectrum Control Base Edition for Lenovo that can be downloaded from http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral.

Software

Note: Storwize V5000 functional capabilities that are described in this product guide are based on the Spectrum Virtualize Software for Storwize V5000 version 7.8.

The following functions are included with every Storwize V5000:

  • RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10

Provides the flexibility to choose the level of data protection that is required.

  • Distributed RAID 5 and 6 for internal storage
    Helps improve performance and availability with significantly faster rebuild time by allowing data to be distributed across more physical drives that are used simultaneously.
  • Dual-system clustering

Storwize V5000 systems can be clustered to help deliver greater performance, bandwidth, and scalability. A Storwize V5000 clustered system can contain two Storwize V5000 systems and up to 960 drives.

  • HyperSwap for Spectrum Virtualize
    Provides dual-site, active-active access to a volume for high availability and disaster recovery configurations. With active-active relationships between the volume copies at each site, HyperSwap configurations can be used to maintain access to data on the system when site-wide failures or outages occur, using a flexible choice of host multipathing drivers.

Note: HyperSwap feature requires a Remote Mirroring license and a third site to host an FC- or IP-based quorum device for an automatic tie-break in the event of a potential link failure between the two main sites.

  • Virtualization of internal storage

Enables rapid, flexible provisioning and simple configuration changes.

  • Thin provisioning

Optimizes efficiency by allocating drive storage space in a flexible manner among multiple applications that is based on the minimum space that is required by each application at any time. With thin provisioning, applications use only the space they are actually using (not the total space that was allocated to them) which allows clients to purchase storage they need today and add storage as application requirements grow.

  • One-way data migration

Enables easy and nondisruptive moves of volumes from another storage system onto the Storwize V5000 Storage System by using FC or SAS connectivity.

  • Embedded GUI

Intuitive, web-based next-generation GUI for easy system set up and management.

The Storwize V5000 storage capabilities can be expanded with optional licensed functions. Each optional Storwize V5000 software license is required for each control enclosure, expansion enclosure, and externally virtualized enclosures.

The following optional licensed functions are available:

  • Easy Tier

Easy Tier provides a mechanism to seamlessly migrate frequently accessed data between three tiers of storage (Flash drives, SAS, NL SAS). This migration can be to different tiers of internal drives or to external storage systems that are virtualized by Storwize V5000.

  • FlashCopy

Enables creation of copies of data for backup, parallel processing, testing, and development and have the copies available almost immediately. Storwize V5000 supports up to 2,048 FlashCopy targets per system and up to 4,096 FlashCopy targets per cluster.

  • Remote mirroring

This feature provides storage system-based data replication by using synchronous or asynchronous data transfers over IP, FC, or FCoE communication links.

For ultimate flexibility, Storwize V5000 remote mirroring interoperates with any other Storwize family system, including Storwize V7000, Storwize V3700, and SAN Volume Controller.

    • Metro Mirror maintains a fully synchronized copy at metropolitan distances (up to 300 km)
    • Global Mirror operates asynchronously and helps maintain a copy at greater distances (up to 8000 km)

The remote mirroring licenses must be acquired for the primary (local) and secondary (remote) systems. If Storwize V5000 is mirrored to a system other than Storwize V5000, the other system must have the appropriate and applicable licenses for remote mirroring.

  • External Virtualization

This feature helps consolidate storage systems from various vendors that are connected into single FC networking. Storage administrator can manage and provision storage to applications from a single user interface and use a common set of advanced functions across all the storage systems under the control of Storwize V5000.
