Speeds shown are native rates. IBM i typically gets 3:1 compression on external tape drives, so the media will typically hold 3* the amount shown and the drives may run at up to 3* the speed shown, unless they are bottlenecked by another component in the path. Check the benchmarks in the Performance Capabilities Reference Manual for more information. LTO WORM is not supported on IBM i

LTO-4 SAS Half High Tape Drive (fc #5746)

Support in the Power 520 (9407-M15, 9408-M25) and the Power 550 (9409-M50) is announced for the high capacity, high speed Ultrium4 LTO-4 tape drive which goes into the imbedded tape drive slot/bay in the system unit. This support was pulled forward to May 30/08 to accommodate our 520-M15 customers who needed more tape options. There is no formal announcement letter outlining this support This LTO-4 SAS tape drive is ordered as feature #5746 and is placed in the Half-High (HH) tape bay/slot of the system unit. The LTO-4 drive's cartridge capacity is 800 GB uncompressed or 1.6 TB with typical 2x compression. It's rated native data transfer is up to 120MB/sec. The LTO-4 SAS Tape drive is compatible with LTO-4 (Read/Write), LTO-3 (Read/Write), and LTO2 (Read) media. Its price is very attractive compared to the LTO-2 SCSI tape drive which is offered in the POWER5 515/520/525 system unit. It will offer up to 4x the capacity and up to 5x faster transfer rate than the 200 GB LTO-2 tape drive. It has an even better performance/capacity comparison to the 36 GB SAS DAT 4mm tape which was previously the only SAS tape option available for the imbedded tape bay in the 9407-M15, 9408-M25 and 9409-M50. There is also an optional #5747 feature which ships five LTO-4 tape cartridges for customer convenience. The LTO-4 tape drive will require PTFs to be loaded on the system for either IBM i 5.4 or 6.1 as follow: Required PTFs for the tape drive: Optional, but highly recommended: V5R4M5 = MF44592 V5R4M5 = MF44542 and MF44543 V6R1 = MF44593 V6R1 = MF44640 and MF44641
This tape drive can be either shipped with a new system or ordered as an MES for installation in an existing Power 520 or Power 550. This is a customer set up (CSU) feature. The prerequisites for this tape drive are 1) an empty tape drive bay/slot in the Power 520/550 system unit, 2) a #3655 HH SAS cable which goes inside the system unit, and 3) pre-requisite PTFs

TS7650 ProtecTIER on IBM i Myths

Backup Window Reduction
Trade press is comparing to Windows save speeds, not IBM i save speeds 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 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
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

Estimating Performance of a New Tape Drive

To Estimate the Performance of a new drive: How do you figure out how fast your current drive is running? Measure a full system backup where you know your total amount of data * or * Use the i 6.1 BRMS Backup Statistics Report
Tape Drive LTO2 LTO3 LTO4
User Mix 43 MB/sec 60 MB/sec 65 MB/sec
Large File 100 MB/sec 140 MB/sec 247 MB/sec
3592J TS1120
51 MB/sec 60 MB/sec
104 MB/sec 250 MB/sec
Backup Statistics Report Ctlg Start/ Dura Total MB/ End -tion GB sec 2:00 1:01 288 40 216 60
Figure out how fast the current drive is Eg LTO2 at 40 MB/sec running Match it to the benchmarks for the Eg User Mix current drive Read off the performance for the new drive for that benchmark Eg LTO4 65 MB/sec

IBM Power Systems
SAVSYSINF and RSTSYSINF Commands (V5R4)

Save System Information (SAVSYSINF) Command Performs a Partial Save of Data Saved by Save System (SAVSYS) Command Cumulative Save Since Last SAVSYS Restricted State Not Required SAVSYS Requires Restricted State Saves System Reply List Entries Certain System Values Some System Values are Not Saved Not Required for System Recovery Service Attributes Network Attributes PTFs for 5722SS1 and 5722999 Applied (TEMP or PERM) Since Last SAVSYS All Group PTFs All PTF Cover Letters and Loaded PTFs Copied into *SERVICE
IBM Power Systems
Notes:
T
The SAVSYSINF command saves the following object types in QSYS:
*DTAARA *JOBD *JRN *CLS *IGCTBL *MSGF *JOBQ *JRNRCV *MSGQ (1) *EDTD *SBSD *TBL *CMD (1)
(1) objects changed since last SAVSYS

The SAVSYSINF Command does not save the following:
Licensed Internal Code QSYS Library System values which cannot be changed, saved or are related to date/time or password level Configuration objects (use SAVCFG) Security Data (use SAVSECDTA)
Loaded PTFs are only saved if copied into *SERVICE area. This enables SAVSYSINF to find the save files of the PTFs. The Copy PTFs (CPYPTF) service attribute specifies whether to copy PTF save files into *SERVICE when PTFs are loaded from a tape or optical device. Use the CHGSRVA CPYPTF(*YES) command to change the service attribute on your system to copy PTF save files when loading PTFs from media.
IBM Power Systems
SAVSYSINF and RSTSYSINF Considerations

Base SAVSYS Required SAVSYSINF Not Replacement for SAVSYS *ALLOBJ or *SAVSYS Special Authority Required Cant be Used For Restoring to Another Existing System System Upgrades or Migrations Intended for Customers Who Cant Bring System to Restricted State for SAVSYS Cant Take Down Time for SAVSYS PTF Save Files Must Remain on System Until Next SAVSYS Do Not Run Delete Program Temporary FIX (DLTPTF) Command Unless Right Before SAVSYS Right After SAVSYS Installing PTFs Default is NOT to Restore Save Files Change System Default CPYPTF(*YES) on CHGSRVA Command or Use CPYPTF(*YES) in INSPTF Command Consistently Increases System Recovery Time and Complexity SAVSYS and SAVSYSINF Needs to be Recovered RSTSYSINF Additional Step per Backup and Recovery Checklists
IBM Power Systems
SAVSYSINF Backup Strategy

After Base SAVSYS, Perform these Commands to Save System Changes SAVLIB LIB(*IBM) SAV OBJ(('/QIBM/ProdData') ('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData')) UPDHST(*YES) SAVSYSINF Commands to Save User Data SAVSECDTA SAVCFG SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSR) SAVDLO DLO(*ALL) FLR(*ANY) SAV OBJ(('/*') ('/QSYS.LIB *OMIT) ('/QDLS *OMIT) (/QIBM/ProdData *OMIT) (/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData *OMIT)) UPDHST(*YES)
