`The TotalStorage Internet Protocol (IP) Storage 200i
`family has been enhanced with
`two new higher
`performance models
`that contain
`faster processors,
`vastly increased storage capacity, and implement the
`latest Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) storage
`protocols over IP (iSCSI).
`The IBM TotalStorage IP
`Storage 200i, 4125 Models 110 and 210 are the latest
`additions to the IP Storage 200i family.
`
`The IP Storage 200i implements the newly emerging
`industry standards for the transport of iSCSI. These new
`emerging standards take advantage of the maturity and
`proliferation of IP-based technology giving rise to design
`and manufacture of lower cost storage servers and
`storage area network (SAN) products and capabilities.

`remote branch/plant sites, and solution providers that
`have
`SAN
`requirements
`across
`heterogeneous
`Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Linux clients (initiators),
`but find that implementing a Fibre Channel SAN is not
`IBM¢ s industry-leading
`realistic in their environment.
`utilization of “iSCSI” technology offers customers, who
`cannot afford the infrastructure and support required cost
`required by Fibre Channel SAN environments,
`the
`opportunity to begin to gain the benefits offered by SANs.
`
`The use of iSCSI technology, originally developed by IBM
`Research, offers the opportunity to begin deployment of
`storage area networking capabilities over the Ethernet
`networking “fabric”
`found
`in a
`large percentage of
`customer enterprises
`today.

`
`Features and Profile
`
`New features in V1.2 release of microcode:
`
`Interoperability
`
`iSCSI solutions and standards
`in
`leader
`is a
`IBM
`definition. The TotalStorage IP Storage 200i was first
`announced in Hardware Announcement 101-038, dated
`February 21, 2001. V1.2 is designed with interoperability
`as a prime objective and
`this release implements
`IETF¢ s draft standard
`revision 0.7 of
`the
`for
`iSCSI.
`TotalStorage
`IP Storage 200i V1.2
`is designed
`to
`interoperate with any other product which also supports
`the same draft IETF revision.
`
`IBM and other vendors are communicating with each
`other for the purpose of promoting a growing set of iSCSI
`products that are designed to work together.
`
`includes enhancements
`IP Storage 200i V1.2 also
`supporting security and auto-discovery.
`
`Security
`
`In V1.2, the IP Storage 200i will negotiate security level
`with the iSCSI client in accordance with requirements of
`the latest revision of the iSCSI draft specification. Clients
`who negotiate
`for secure authentication will use
`industry-standard Secure Remote Password (RFC 2945)
`to securely authenticate initiator ID and password. This
`prevents unauthorized
`“sniffing” of
`iSCSI
`client
`passwords, and helps validate that the entity attaching to
`the TotalStorage IP Storage 200i is who it claims to be.
`
`Auto-discovery
`
`V1.1 required the iSCSI initiator to preconfigure the
`address of the TotalStorage IP Storage 200i in order to
`connect.
`In V1.2, manual configuration is allowed, but not
`always required.
`If target addresses are not configured,
`initiators will use the industry-standard Service Location
`Protocol to automatically discover iSCSI targets in the
`network. Once discovered, initiators log in to targets, and
`then use SCSI commands to discover actual storage that
`is assigned to it on that target. This typically relieves the
`system administrators of the task of informing each client
`machine owner of IP addresses and address changes of
`an IP Storage 200i.
`
`Usability Features
`In keeping with IBM¢ s commitment to user-centered
`design, several new
`features have been added
`to
`TotalStorage IP Storage 200i.
`• Web-Based Management Interface (WBMI)
`
`WBMI has been enhanced with new iSCSI and RAID
`monitoring functions. Users will be able to query iSCSI
`connections — connection status, throughput, errors,
`RAID status, and available storage are all easily
`monitored through WBMI.
`
`Storage Assignment
`
`The TotalStorage IP Storage 200i serves local storage to
`iSCSI Initiator (clients) requests, acting as a single server
`to the physical disk drives on behalf of the iSCSI clients.
`The physical disk drive storage is partitioned into multiple
`virtual
`logical units of storage
`(LUNs)
`for storage
`assignment to individual iSCSI clients.
`
`Storage Administration
`
`The ability to access storage residing on the TotalStorage
`IP Storage 200i is coordinated by Access Control logic in
`the Web-based User Interface (UI).
`iSCSI clients use an
`
`assigned client ID and password to access assigned
`LUNs.
`
`Systems Management
`
`functions are
`IP-Storage appliance system
`Internal
`integrated on top of a base Linux core (kernel level 2.4).
`Core architecture addresses initial IP addressing, product
`boot and recovery, and general box management.
`
`Initial IP Address Discovery
`
`Two methods are provided for “first boot” IP address
`assignment:
`
`1. The backplane 10/100 Ethernet Network Interface
`Card (NIC) will default to address 192.9.200.1. By
`initially installing this product in a “private network”
`where this address is reachable by a workstation
`having the same sub-Net address, the administrator
`workstation¢ s
`can
`point
`the
`browser
`to
`192.9.200.1:1959/IBM200i
`to
`access
`the
`user
`configuration.
`
`2. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) find is a
`process listening on TCP port 3939. The function
`monitors the local network for “unanswered ARPs.”
`the administrator¢ s browser
`By pointing
`to (IP
`addr):3939/IBM200i the administrator will cause an
`ARP into the network where IP Storage 200i has been
`installed. After seeing that no station is responding
`to the ARP, the IP Storage 200i will install the desired
`IP address and will respond to the ARP.
`If within
`20 seconds a packet is received at port 3939, the IP
`Storage 200i will keep the address. At that point, the
`administrator can point the browser at the same
`address, port 1959
`to access user configuration
`panels.
`
`Boot, Update, and Recovery
`
`The system disk is partitioned for multiple system images
`for upgrade and recovery. The system is typically booted
`from the primary partition.
`If the normal boot fails, the
`system is designed to be automatically booted from the
`Recovery CD-ROM, which
`invokes
`failure
`recovery
`procedures. Through the serial interface, the user can
`apply new system images from an image CD-ROM or local
`FTP server. Through the network interface, the user can
`apply new system images from a local FTP server.
`
`Network Management
`
`Network management is supported via Simple Network
`Management
`Protocols
`(SNMP)
`and
`standard
`management information bases (MIBs). SNMP agents and
`subagents support internal functions. A specific iSCSI
`MIB is not supported in this product release.
`
`Ethernet NIC Driver
`
`An Ethernet device driver supports Gigabit Ethernet SX
`(Fibre) or Ethernet 10/100/1000
`(Gigabit Copper)
`connectivity.
`
`ServeRAID Controller
`
`The RAID levels supported are RAID 0, 1, 1E, 5, and 5E.
`Disk partitioning and management, as well as RAID
`arrays, are supported. Hot-spare disks can be defined for
`automatic failed disk replacement (with the exception of
`RAID 0).
`
`High-Availability and Serviceability Features
`
`TotalStorage IP Storage 200i is designed to deliver
`economical reliability and serviceability:

`Gigabit Ethernet SX Adapter
`Installed
`
`(#3302) — Plant/Field
`
`The Gigabit Ethernet SX Adapter is designed to provide
`1000Base-SX connectivity to a Gigabit Ethernet network
`for servers over a 50 or 62.5 micron multimode fiber optic
`link attached to its duplex SC connector.
`Its 1000 Mbps
`data rate and 32- or 64-bit PCI bus mastering architecture
`is designed to enable the highest Ethernet bandwidth
`available in an adapter.
`It is compliant with IEEE 802.3z
`Ethernet and PCI 2.1 standards supporting compatibility
`with existing Ethernet installations.
`
`Either this feature (#3302 — Ethernet SX Adapter) or
`feature (#3303-10/100/1000 Gigabit Adapter) Ethernet
`Copper Adapter must be selected for the IP Storage 4125
`Models 110 and 210.

`10/100/1000 (Gigabit) Ethernet Copper Adapter (#3303) —
`Plant/Field Installed
`
`This adapter is designed to deliver 1000 Mbps over
`existing Category 5 twisted pair cables. Existing Fast
`Ethernet cabling infrastructure can be used for Gigabit
`throughput. No recabling is necessary. Link-speed auto
`sensing is supported, so the adapter can operate at 10,
`100, or 1000 Mbps depending on the configuration of the
`switch or hub. This supports the migration to Gigabit
`Ethernet having to replace or reconfigure the adapter.
