Physical Planning Overview 9

Planning overview
This section provides an overview of the planning requirements for EMC®Disk Library
for mainframe (DLm) installation. It reviews EMC responsibilities and outlines your
responsibilities as a DLm user for the following DLm systems:
lDLm8500 with Data Domain
lDLm8500 with VMAX
Note
This document contains information about the VTEC cabinet and the VNX VG8
cabinet of a DLm8500 with VMAX. Refer to the EMC VMAX Family Physical
Planning Guide for information about the VMAX.
Note
Inform EMC of any labor union-based restrictions or security clearance requirements
prior to delivery.
The DLm systems must be installed in a properly equipped computer room with
controlled temperature and humidity, proper airflow and ventilation, proper power and
grounding, system cable routing facilities, fire equipment, and so on. A raised floor is
recommended, although it is not required. One or more planning sessions with your
Systems Engineer and Customer Support Representative will be necessary to close all
the details related to installation. The table below lists the responsibility summary at
the first planning session.
Table 1 Pre-installation responsibility summary
EMC You
Provide all details necessary for site planning
and preparation.
Provide an environment that supports safe
installation of the DLm system and promotes
its reliable long-term operation.
Complete and process the Installation
Planning Task Sheet and Presite Survey.
Provide appropriate power, cooling and
ventilation, humidity control, floor load
capability, and service clearances as required.
Arrange for shipment and delivery through an
appropriate method.
Participate in planning sessions as required to
ensure a smooth and uncomplicated
installation.
Install a properly working system.
DLm system presite considerations
When planning the installation site for your DLm system, meet with your EMC
representative to complete the presite plan.
Physical specifications
The physical and environmental specifications section provides overall system
dimensions for the following DLm systems:
Physical Planning Overview
10 Disk Library for mainframe 5.0 Physical Planning Guide for DLm8500

lDLm8500 with Data Domain
lDLm8500 with VMAX
General considerations
Before installing the DLm system at your site, consider these factors:
lWeight capacities of the service elevator if delivery is to another floor
lAvailability of an equipment ramp if the receiving floor is not on the same level as
the computer room floor.
Note
All portions of the cabinet should clear ramp and threshold slopes up to 1:10 (rise
to run ratio), per Code of Federal Regulations – ADA Standards for Accessible
Design, 28 CFR Part 36.
lWeight capacities of the loading dock
lWeight capacities of the tailgate
Other requirements are:
lAppropriate floor covering for protection
lHardware power requirements
lPower requirements for the DLm cabinets
Transportation and delivery guidelines
Mode of transport guidelines:
lFor all DLm systems delivered within the United States or Canada, EMC
recommends an air-ride truck.
lAll DLm systems are wrapped in custom-designed shipping material. Also, the DLm
system may be crated and palletized.
lFor all DLm systems delivered internationally, EMC recommends shipment by air
freight. Unless otherwise instructed, the EMC Traffic Department arranges for
delivery directly to the computer room.
To ensure successful delivery of DLm systems, EMC has formed partnerships with
specially selected moving companies. These companies have moving professionals
that are trained to properly handle large, sensitive systems. These companies provide
the appropriate personnel, floor layouts, and any ancillary moving equipment that is
required to facilitate delivery.
Pre-installation considerations
Install the DLm in a properly equipped and well-ventilated computer room.
Environmental specifications
DLm requires the environmental specifications that are outlined in each chapter for
the specific DLm model. Ensure that the site meets or exceeds the specifications that
are listed for both raised and non-raised floor environments.
Physical Planning Overview
General considerations 11

System host cabling requirements
The Presite Survey, completed with the EMC Systems Engineer, reports the Fibre
connection (FICON) cable length that is required for each host connection to the
DLm. From a physical planning perspective, review the routing paths from the hosts to
the DLm system. Resolve any physical access issues before the installation day.
Layout and space recommendations
Layout and space considerations are described in the chapter for the specific DLm
model.
CAUTION
When moving the DLm cabinets down an incline, the rear of the cabinet must go
first and when moving up an incline, the rear of the cabinet must go last.
Remote support
Remote support is an important and integral part of the EMC customer service and
support strategy. Communication between the EMC Customer Support Center and
the DLm occurs either through IP connections to the local area network.
Secure Remote Support
DLm supports Secure Remote Support (SRS) Gateway that provides a secure, IP-
based, distributed remote service support solution giving you command, control, and
visibility of remote support access.
Contact EMC Customer Support to configure SRS. This is an optional feature.
Establishing SSH trust
DLm features such as DLm health monitoring, DDRL, command processors,
configuration, and setup tools must run commands and operations on the backend
storage systems remotely. For this to work, SSH trust must be established between
DLm VTEs and the backend storage systems. SSH trust ensures that applications on
the DLm can run commands on the storage system without a password. SSH trust is
established when DLm is installed, or when new storage systems or VTEs are added to
the DLm.
Planning for upgrades
When planning for upgrades, consider space, power, and environmental concerns.

to all DLm modules.

Configuration and host connectivity 13

Network software ports needed to support DLm operations
DLm software uses many protocols and standard network ports to support various
monitoring and configuration services. If your network configuration requires that
firewalls exist between DLm systems, ensure that the networking environment into
which you introduce DLm systems provides access to these networking ports and
protocols. Common uses for these network ports are for access:
lBetween the DLm and the SRS gateways
lTo user interfaces such as:
nDLm Console
nData Domain system manager
The following table provides a list of required network software ports and protocols,
along with indications as to what services make use of them.

Network software ports needed to support DLm Disaster
Recovery Testing
To perform DLm Disaster Recovery testing on a mainframe and to allow the mainframe
to write data to the back-end storage, you must configure your firewall to allow traffic
on particular network ports that are different for each back-end storage system type.
The following table lists the special port for Disaster Recovery testing for the various
DLm models.

DLm8500 with DD Physical Planning Overview
This section provides an overview of the physical equipment in a single-rack DLm8500
and a multi-rack DLm8500.
DLm8500 with DD single-rack configuration
A DLm8500 single-rack configuration is composed of one rack containing:
l1 or 2 VTEs
l1 or 2 1 GbE switches
l1 or 2 10 GbE switches
lOne Data Domain (DD) (DD6300, DD6800 single or HA, DD9300 single or HA,
