Technical Checklist:

A copy of the checklist and diagram to follow should be filled out for each TagmaStore AMS/WMSsubsystem. Along with the comprehensive, detailed checklist, the diagram illustrates the installation and environment, including the customer’s products.

Please include information on types, model numbers, dual controller details, dual active, any specific requirements for LUN access, Host group definitions, storage capacity, hardware, adapter types, software and firmware (including versions), any other Program Products, and any other important information about the installation.

Note: Check Online Feature Availability Report - Hi-Fire/FARfor all appropriate levels.

AMS1000 – Fibre - 8 port max., AMS500 - Fibre - 4 port max., AMS200/WMS100 - Fibre -4 port max. (only 2 per subsystem, or 1 per CTL can be used for Fabric Switch attachment) unless DF-F700-DJ4G2W is used.

2 / Mounting Considerations
HDS Supplied Global 19” Rack?
MK-93DF665
Power Notes for RKS/RKM:
- the default cables for the AMS/WMS (2 per unit) are DF-700-J2H types.
- if the AMS/WMS is mounted in an HDS 19” rack, use DF-700-J2H types.
- if the AMS/WMS is mounted in a non-HDS rack, contact the vendor for the connector type.
-if power receptacles in the rack are 110V, the cables required are DF-F700-J1H

Power Notes for HDS Global 19” Rack:
220V input power: (Required
- customer must supply two to four circuits withNEMA L630R (30 amp 208V AC Receptacles) for each PDU (Power Distribution Unit).
Note for 220V: There are only 5 RKM/RKAJs allowed for a pair of PDUs if using 220V. Therefore a full rack of AMS will require 4 (2 pairs) of PDUs with corresponding (4) NEMA L630R receptacles.

3 / Raid and Disk Configuration
Number of RK/RKAs and HDDs
Raid Type: 0, 1, 5, 0+1; 6, size of parity groups?
RAID0 not allowed for SATA
Fibre Channel Drives / 72GB 10K, 72GB 15K
146GB 10K, 146GB 15K
300GB 10K,
SATA Drives / 250GB – 7200, 400GB - 7200
Note:
General recommendations –
1) It is not recommended to intermix HDD rpm due to performance considerations
2) No mixing of drive capacity within the same RAID group.
3) Spare must be the size of largest data drive.
SATA important recommendations –
1) No more than 6D+1P RAID groups
2) Spare per number of SATA drive trays

8 / Product Performance Information
What, if anything, does the contract guarantee?
9 / List any customer performance expectations.
10 / Is Customer performing benchmarks?
Is HDS performing benchmarks?
11 / Does HDS have access to customer performance data?
Who controls release of performance data?
12 / I/O Environment (Block size, type of I/O, etc.):
Sequential, Random Transfer Lengths (block size)
Writes vs. Reads
13 / Hi-Track Configuration
  • If using the FTP data transfer mechanism, FTP Put capability using the standard FTP ports (21, 20) from the Hi-Track monitor workstation to the public internet. This should be enabled through the customer’s firewall by the customer’s network administrator if it isn’t currently enabled. The FTP Put needs to be enabled only in an outbound direction originating on the customer’s LAN. Inbound FTP (originating outside the customer’s LAN) is not required and should generally not be enabled since it would represent a security risk for the customer.
  • If using the Dial-up data transfer mechanism, a modem with a phone line connection installed in the workstation running the Hi-Track Monitor. The following modems have been tested and are approved for use with the Hi-Track Monitor:
  • US Robotics Courier V.Everything
  • US Robotics Sportster 56K
  • MultiTech MultiModem
  • Xircom Carbus Ethernet+Modem 56 PCMCIA Modem
