IBM Spectrum Scale featuresIBM Spectrum Scale, the follow-on to IBM GPFS, is a high-performance solution for managing data at scalewith the distinctive ability to perform archive and analytics in place. Lenovo provides clients with regularsoftware updates of Spectrum Scale, independent of hardware releases for DSS-G.IBM Spectrum Scale has the following features:

Uses Declustered RAID, where data and parity information as well as Spare Capacity is distributedacross all disksRebuilds with Declustered RAID are faster:

Traditional RAID would have one LUN fully busy resulting in slow rebuild and high impactoverallDeclustered RAID rebuild activity spreads the load across many disks resulting in faster rebuildand less disruption to user programsDeclustered RAID minimizes critical data exposed to data loss in case of a second failure.

2-fault / 3-fault tolerance and mirroring: 2- or 3-fault-tolerant Reed-Solomon parity encoding as wellas 3- or 4-way mirroring provides data integrity, reliability and flexibilityEnd-to-end checksum:

Helps detect and correct off-track I/O and dropped writesDisk surface to GPFS user/client provides information to help detect and correct write or I/Oerrors

Disk hospital - asynchronous, global error diagnosis:If there is a media error, information provided helps in verifying and restoring a media error.If there is a path problem, information can be used to attempt alternate paths.Disk tracking information helps track disk service times, which is useful in finding slow disks sothey can be replaced.

Multipathing: Performed automatically by Spectrum Scale, so no multipath driver is needed.

Optional management componentsOptionally, the configuration can include a management node and Gigabit Ethernet switch. The managementnode will run the xCAT cluster administration software. If this node and switch are not selected as part of theDSS-G configuration, an equivalent customer-supplied management environment needs to be available.A management network and xCAT management server are required and can be either configured as part ofthe DSS-G solution, or can be provided by the customer. The following server and network switch areconfigurations that are added by default in x-config but can be removed or replaced if an alternativemanagement system is provided:

Professional Services selectionThe following sections provide information about these configuration steps.

Drive Enclosure configurationAll drives used in all the enclosures in a DSS-G configuration are identical. The only exception to this is apair of 400 GB SSDs that are required in the first drive enclosure for any configuration using HDDs. TheseSSDs are for logtip use by the IBM Spectrum Scale software and are not for customer data.

DSS-G100 configuration: The G100 does not include external drive enclosures. Instead, NVMe drivesare installed locally into the server as described in the SR630 configuration section.

The drive requirement are as follows:For configurations that use HDDs, two 400GB logtip SSDs must also be selected in the first driveenclosure in the DSS-G configuration.All subsequent enclosures in HDD-based DSS-G configuration do not require these logtip SSDs.Configurations using SSDs do not require the pair of logtip SSDs.Only one drive size & type is selectable per DSS-G configuration.The DSS-G20X configurations support both HDDs and SSDs (though only as homogeneousconfigurations), with the exception of the DSS-G201 and DSS-G206. The DSS-G201 configurationonly supports SSDs, and the DSS-G206 configuration only supports HDDs.All drive enclosures must be fully populated with drives. Partially filled enclosures are not supported.

The following table lists the drives available for selection in a D1224 enclosure.

Cluster networkThe Lenovo DSS-G offering connects as a storage block to the customer's Spectrum Scale cluster networkusing the high-speed network adapters installed in the servers. Each pair of servers has two or three networkadapters, which are either Ethernet, InfiniBand or Omni-Fabric Architecture (OPA). Each DSS-G storageblock connects to the cluster network.In concert with the cluster network is the xCAT management network. In lieu of a customer-suppliedmanagement network, the Lenovo DSS-G offering includes a ThinkSystem SR630 server running xCAT anda RackSwitch G7028 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch.These components are shown in the following figure.

Figure 8. Lenovo DSS-G storage blocks in a Spectrum Scale client network

Power distributionPower distribution units (PDUs) are used to distribute power from an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) orutility power to the equipment within the DSS-G rack cabinet and to provide fault-tolerant power redundancyfor high availability.Four PDUs are selected for each DSS-G configuration (except for the G201 and G210 configuration whichuses two PDUs). The PDUs can be one of the PDUs listed in the following table.

Each server, switch and drive enclosure has two redundant power supplies, and each of two power suppliesis connected to a separate PDU to support topologies with redundant AC power sources.As an example, the power distribution topology for the G204 (two servers, four drive enclosures) is illustratedin the following figure. Note that the actually PDU connections may vary in the shipped configuration.

Figure 9. Power distribution topologyConfiguration notes:

Only one type of PDUs is supported in the DSS-G rack cabinet; different PDU types cannot be mixedwithin the rack.Power cables lengths are derived based on the configuration selected.PDUs have detachable power cords (line cords) and are country dependent.

Additional licensing information:No additional licenses (for example, client or server) are needed for Spectrum Scale for DSS. Onlylicenses based on the number of drives (non-logtip) are needed.For non-DSS storage in the same Cluster (for example, separated metadata on traditional controller-based storage), you have the option of socket-based licenses (Data Access Edition only) or capacity-based (per TB) licenses (Data Management Edition only).It is possible to mix traditional GPFS/Spectrum Scale storage licensed per socket and new SpectrumScale storage licensed per drive, however the drive-based license is only available with DSS-G. Aslong as a Spectrum Scale client accesses storage that is licensed per socket (either cross-cluster/remote or locally), it will also require a socket based client/server license.It is not supported to mix Data Access Edition and Data Management Edition licensing within acluster.Drive-based Spectrum Scale for DSS licenses are not transferrable from one DSS-G configuration toanother. The license is attached to the storage/machine it is sold with.

Professional ServicesLenovo offers a variety of professional services as part of the DSS-G offerings.
