Agenda for Backup/Recovery Enhancements Virtual Tape Tape Encryption Save and Restore Enhancements 6.1 7.1 Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) Enhancements 6.1 7.1
Virtual Tape Support (Introduced in V5R4) Key Advantages Supported on all Save/Restore Commands and APIs (except SAVSTG) Can Be Faster than Saving Directly to Tape Similar Performance as Save Files Best Performance in Separate ASP Eliminates Save File Limitations One Library Per Save File SAVSYS Not Supported on Save File Parallel Saves Not Supported on Save File 1 TB Size Limitation on Save File Eliminates Media Error Limitations Saves Ending Due to Tape Device or Media Errors Save-while-active Checkpoint Restriction (Once Checkpoint Reached Saves Can t be Restarted) Duplicate Saves to Media (DUPTAP or DUPMEDBRM) When Tape Devices Available At Your Convenience Onsite and Offsite Storage Keep Virtual Volumes on Systems as Needed Keep Duplicated Volumes Offsite
Virtual Tape Support Considerations Additional DASD Requirements No Install from SAVSYS Virtual Volume D-IPL Only from Media May Not Be Faster Tape Technology System Configuration and Environment Data Compaction Not Supported Data Compression Support DTACPR(*YES) Parameter on Save Commands (Default is *NO) SNA Low Data Compression Significant Performance Impact
Virtual Tape Support Implementation of Virtual Tape Included in Base i5 Operating System Configures as RACL (Random Access Cartridge Loader) Tape Device I/O to Disk instead of Tape Media Behaves as Tape Library Mounting Specified Volumes Up to 35 Virtual Tape Devices Virtual Tape Volumes Support Multiple Optimum Block Sizes (Compatibility with Tape Devices) Existing Image Catalog Commands used for Virtual Optical Tape Volume Management Interface with iseries Navigator User Interface is Green Screen or iseries Navigator Complete End User Interface and Tape Management with BRMS Virtual Volumes Stored as IFS Stream Files FTP to Other Servers or Partitions Considerations Bandwidth Management of Transmitted Files Disaster Recovery
Virtual Tape Support Image Catalog Commands Modified to Support Virtual Optical and Virtual Tape Volumes Store Up to 256 1,000,000 MB Virtual Tape Volumes *ALLOBJ Authority No Longer Required Load of Image Catalog on Virtual Device Makes Virtual Volumes Accessible Virtual Media Can Be Write Protected Virtual Volume Can be Opened by Multiple Virtual Tape Devices New Volumes Auto Created When End of Volume Reached and: Tape Volume List Exhausted Specified Volume *MOUNTED End of Image Catalog Reached Reply to Message CPA6798 Specifying New Volume

IBM Power Systems TS7650 ProtecTIER on IBM i Myths Backup Window Reduction Trade press is comparing to Windows save speeds, not IBM i save speeds BEWARE of the Trade Press It was written from the perspective of a Windows Customer Cost Reduction Trade press is comparing to diskbased saves WITHOUT deduplication, not to tape Integrated LTO4: $4,000 TS2900 LTO4: $5,500 TS3100 LTO4: $10,000 All offer up to 200 MB/sec This is AMAZING price/performance Customers see the full box performance and assume that is the single stream rate. TS7650 (and its competitors) may actually be a performance concern vs a benefit for IBM i customers due to the low single stream performance IBM i TS7650 40-80 MB/sec per stream 40-80 MB/sec per stream 40-80 MB/sec per stream 40-80 MB/sec per stream TS7650 ProtecTIER Full box capacity is 1000 MB/sec with 2 nodes Current Technology Physical Drives run at 60-280 MB/sec per stream (umix / largefile)

IBM i Tape Encryption on IBM Tape Drives IBM i TKLM Server TKLM Server LTO4/LTO5 or TS1120 / TS1130 Drives in a Tape Library Components Encryption Capable Tape Drive(s) fibre TS1120/TS1130 or fibre/sas LTO4/LTO5 A Tape Library TS2900/3100/3200/3310, TS3400, TS3500, 3494 Multiple Key Managers (TKLMs) Suitable Drive / Library / TKLM at DR Site to restore How does it Work? IBM i sends the backup to the tape library If the drive / library has encryption turned on, then the library gets the keys from the TKLM The drive/library write the save BRMS is recommended to keep encrypted / non-encrypted tapes separate
Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM) What is TKLM? Follow-on to Encryption Key Manager (EKM) Stores / Serves keys for Encryption: Tape: TS1120, TS1130, LTO4, LTO5 Disk: DS8000 MUCH more user-friendly than EKM What Platforms does it run on? Windows Server 2003 & 2008 AIX 5.3, AIX 6.1 or later Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 & 5 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 &10 Solaris 9&10 SPARC z/os Version 1 Release 9 &10 See Notes page for details Although we can t RUN TKLM on IBM i, we can use TKLM on another platform to encrypt our IBM i saves IBM i customers usually run their TKLM on Windows because: They typically have good skill on Windows It avoids the temptation to run TKLM on a system with a production application and accidentally encrypt the keys (this would make it impossible to recover due to the chicken / egg problem Easy to load up a spare TKLM and store it offsite Easy to acquire hardware to re-build the TKLM after a big disaster Faster to restore / rebuild the key store on Windows vs a larger platform
TKLM Supported Platforms - Notes Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager Platforms Supported TKLM Hardware Requirements Supported with initial TKLM release: AIX 5.3 64-bit AIX 6.1 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 32-bit Solaris 10 SPARC 64-bit SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 32-bit SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 32-bit Windows Server 2003 32-bit Supported with TKLM Fix Pack 1 installed: (Fix Pack 1 came out in late April 2009) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 32-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 64-bit (32-bit mode) Solaris 9 SPARC 64-bit SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 64-bit (32-bit mode) Windows Server 2003 64-bit (32-bit mode). Requires both new installation image and Fix Pack 1 Windows Server 2008 32-bit. Requires both new installation image and Fix Pack 1 Windows Server 2008 64-bit (32-bit mode).

The most critical requirements are to provide adequate system memory, and free disk space and swap space. Processor speed is less important
Tape Drive Based Encryption Reminders Things to Remember Hardware Required LTO4/LTO5 or TS1120/TS1130 tape drives Fibre or SAS (not SCSI) Drives must reside in a tape library (although it s OK to run in sequential mode) For LTO4/LTO5, library must have the transparent LTO encryption feature LTO4/LTO5 media for LTO4/LTO5, or any TS1120/TS1130 formatted media Comparable gear at your recovery site Software Required Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager Software + hardware to run it on Key Manager Reminders Don t encrypt your Key Manager Have multiple Key Managers at your home site and DR site Save your Key Manager and send a copy offsite anytime your keys change Other Reminders Choose TS3500 / 3494 over other libraries since they can turn encryption on/off based on volser Include ALMS on a TS3500 order so encrypted/non-encrypted drives can share a TS3500 partition IBM Rochester Lab Services Available to help with install/setup (contact Mark Even in Rochester)

Notes: The *BASE option is required. It allows you to all save and restore functions to tape media, save files, Tivoli TSM servers, and virtual tapes. The *NETWORK function is optional and separately priced. By placing multiple i5/os systems in a BRMS network, you can share BRMS policies, media information, and storage locations across the network group. This allows you to manage backups across all of your i5/os systems in a consistent manner. It also optimizes the use of your media. The *HSM (Hierarchal Storage manager) function is optional and separately priced. Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) automatically and transparently manages customer data across a storage hierarchy. The storage hierarchy can consist of high performance disk, compressed disk, and tape libraries. Through the BRMS user-defined policies, HSM can migrate or archive and dynamically retrieve infrequently used data or historical data up or down a hierarchy of storage devices.
