Storage Hierarchy
Disk
Individual DDMs
Array Sites
Pre-determined grouping of DDMs of same speed
and capacity (8 DDMs for DS8000; 4 DDMs for
DS6000)
Arrays
One 8-DDM Array Site used to construct one
RAID array (DS8000)
One or two 4-DDM Array Sites used to construct
one RAID array (DS6000)
Ranks
One Array forms one CKD or FB Rank (4 or 8
DDMs)
No fixed, pre-determined relation to LSS
Extent Pools
1-N Ranks form an Extent Pool (N=1/2 total ranks)
All Extents in a Pool are same storage type
(CKD/FB); same RAID recommended
Associated with Server0 or Server1 (DS8000)

RAID5 or RAID10

CKD or FB

Extent

Pool

Controller 1 or Controller 2 (DS6000)

Extent Pools

User-configured to be either CKD or FB

Contain one or more ranks divided into fixed-size
extents

Contain one or more LUNs/volumes made up of

extents

CKD 3390 Mod1

FB 1GB
Recommend one rank per pool as in
example -- unless large LUN size is required

2 volumes in the example (2310,7501)

xyzz (x=address group, xy=LSS, zz=volid)

Extent pool is assigned to Server0 or Server1

during configuration (server affinity)

By user during custom configuration

By algorithm during auto or express
configuration

Server1 in the example

Indicated by odd-numbered LSSs

 Minimum of 2 pools to utilize subsystem

Server0 and Server1
Maximum of n pools where n is the number of
ranks in subsystem
8 pools/8 ranks in the example
Extent pool can contain one or more ranks
Recommend one rank per extent pool unless a
volume size larger than one rank is required
One rank per pool means pool contains
LUNs/volumes on one rank only
One rank per pool will not constrain addresses
Volumes on one rank in one pool can be in multiple
LSSs
Volumes on different ranks in different pools can be
in the same LSS (limited by odd/even server affinity)

Rank can be added to extent pool at any time

Rank can be removed from extent pool if no extents
on rank are currently assigned to LUNs/volumes

LSSs/LCUs
Logical grouping of volumes
Determines addressing, address group, and PAVs
Max of 256 addresses in LSS
16 LSSs in an address group (00-0F, 10-1F, 20-2F, etc.)
A given PAV can only be used within one LCU

Also used for copy services PPRC paths and consistency group
properties/timeouts

Maximum number of LSSs

DS8000 128 at GA (max 16 ESCON CKD, max 64 FICON CKD, max 64 FB)
DS6000 32 at GA (no ESCON, max 32 CKD if no FB, max 32 FB if no CKD,
max 16CKD+16FB if mixed)
Pre-determined association with Server0 or Server1
Even LSSs associated with Server0
Odd LSSs associated with Server1
LSS configured to be either FB or CKD
CKD during LCU creation
FB during volume creation

 No pre-determined relation to physical ranks

No pre-determined relation to extent pools other than server affinity
One LSS can contain volumes from different pools

One pool can contain volumes that are in different LSSs

One LCU can contain CKD volumes of different types (3390 M3s & M9s)

LSS definition
CKD during LCU creation

LSSs numbers are pre-grouped in
groups of 16 LSSs to make up
address groups
LSSs 00-0F -- address group 0,
LSSs 10-1F -- address group 1, etc.

LSS 23 in the example is in address

group 2; LSS 75 in the example is in
address group 7

Entire address group (all 16 LSSs)

will be either FB or CKD

DS8000 -- 8 address groups at GA

DS6000 2 address groups at GA

Volumes
One logical volume is made up of extents from one extent pool
Typically made up of extents from one rank unless LUN size is larger than
one rank
A specific volume is in one LSS
Multiple volumes in one extent pool or on one rank can be in the same or
different LSSs
Multiple volumes in different extent pools and on different ranks can be
in the same LSS

Volumes can be deleted and extents reused

Hosts

pSeries1

Multiple server ports can be specified

(in one or more groups) in one host
definition
Four host attachments (one port each)
are shown for pSeries1
Server ports can be grouped for
convenience

Two host attachments with 2 ports

each are shown for pSeries2
One host attachment with 4 ports is
shown for pSeries3

pSeries2

A host attachment can access

Specific disk subsystem I/O ports
All valid disk subsystem I/O ports
pSeries3

A specific host attachment can be in

only one volume group

Host attachments are assigned to volume groups

Specific host attachment (one port or set of grouped ports) can be in
only one volume group
Multiple hosts (even different open systems host types -- with same
blocksize and addressing mode) allowed in same volume group

Safest approach is one host per volume group

If shared access to LUNs is required, shared LUNs may be placed in

multiple volume groups (e.g. LUN1 below)
Volume Group 1
pSeries1

Volume Group 2
xSeries2

Volume Groups

FB LUN masking
Contains one or more host attachments and one or more LUNs
A specific host attachment can be in only one volume group
Attachments from multiple hosts (even different open systems
host types) are allowed in the same volume group

Recommend one host per volume group with shared LUNs in multiple
volume groups

Specific LUN can be in more than one volume group

Allows LUN sharing (e.g. LUN1 in example below)

Volume Group 1

Volume Group 2

pSeries1

xSeries1

Volumes from different LSSs and different Extent Pools

can be in one volume group (Volume Group 1 below)
Volumes from same LSS and/or same Extent Pool can be
in different volume groups (7512, 7515)

Set the LTG size to 256 KB for a DS8000. The LTG size is the maximum I/O size that will
be issued from the LVM layer of the I/O stack. It must be less than or equal to the
maximum I/O size the DDMs in the DS8000 will support, which is 256 KB and can be
determined with the command, lquerypv -M vpath20. The LTG size can be changed with
the chvg -L 256 vgname command. More on LTG in , Striped logical volumes on
page 301. With AIX 5.3, the LTG size is automatically set.
We recommend the use of either Big or Scalable volume groups, as these avoid issues
with LVCBs. One can create logical volumes without LVCBs on Big volume groups via the
mklv -T O flag, and for scalable volume groups the LVCBs do not exist on the logical
volume. When LVCBs exist on a logical volume, they occupy the first 512 bytes of the
logical volume and can cause I/Os to span physical volumes due to this offset. This in turn
affects the atomicity properties of applications (i.e., when a application expects that a I/O

will be completely done or not done at all) as an application I/O may then span two
physical volumes in a volume group and only one of the physical I/Os may complete
during a system crash.
