Port Assignment and HA Card Installation Sequence

DS8100 2 Gb and 4 Gb host adapters
All host adapter cards are installed in base frame (Rack 1)
Optional expansion frame does not support additional host adapter cards
Maximum port count is 64 maximum adapter count is 16
Host adapter cards may be installed in Rack 1 or Rack 2 (if present)
Rack 1 optionally may have only one pair of I/O enclosures
DS8800 8 Gb host adapters
DS8800 Host adapter install order into slots:
8-port Long Wave then 4-port Long Wave 8 Gb host adapters
8-port Short Wave then 4-port Short Wave 8 Gb host adapters

DS8870 Host adapter install order into slots:
16 Gb 4-port Long Wave host adapters (#3453) then
16 Gb 4-port Short Wave host adapters (#3353) then
8 Gb 8-port Short Wave host adapters (#3157) then
8 Gb 4-port Short Wave host adapters (#3153)

Host Adapter Performance Considerations

A single host adapter will not provide full line rate bandwidth with all ports
active
Customers should not plan to drive the Ports/Links/Host Adapters to their
defined limits
Most of these recommendations will be needed in cases where the

utilization is very high
Running only 10 MB per second per port will never overload a host adapter
But trying to run 200 MB per channel will definitely have severe performance
impact when all ports are used for example on a DS8300
If in doubt, get RMF or TPC data and use Disk Magic

Start planning for additional resources when you reach approximately
50% of the maximum values during some intervals (and not a single
number for one day)
Each DS8000 host port has an internal queue depth of 2,048 per port

Best practice is to keep utilization below these levels
Port Assignment Best Practices

Isolate CKD host connections from FB host connections on a host
adapter basis
Dont share a mainframe CHPID with tape and disk devices
Keep large block and small block transfers isolated to different host adapter
cards
Always have symmetric pathing by connection type (i.e., use the same
number of paths on all host adapters used by each connection type).
For z/OS, all path groups should be symmetric (i.e., uniform number of
ports per HA) and spread path groups as widely as possible across all
CKD host adapters
When possible, use the same number of host adapter connections
(especially for System z) as the number of connections coming from the
hosts
Always have additional resources in case of failure plan for HBA or
even enclosure failure
Port Assignment Best Practices - continued

When using the 2 Gb and 4 Gb host adapters, avoid using adjacent ports especially for
different workloads if you cannot separate by Host Adapter
Consider using 8-port 8 Gb/second host adapters for connectivity use 4-port 8
Gb/second host adapters to meet maximum bandwidth requirements
Size the number of host adapters needed based on expected aggregate maximum
bandwidth and maximum IOPS (use Disk Magic or other common sizing methods based
on actual or expected workload
Sharing different connection types within an I/O enclosure is encouraged
When utilizing multipathing, try to zone ports from different I/O enclosures to provide
redundancy and balance (i.e., include port from a host adapter in enclosure 0 and
enclosure 1)
Replication:
Replication port pairs (primary to secondary) should be zoned 1:1
Isolate host connections from remote copy connections (MM, GM, zGM, GC and MGM) on a host
adapter basis
When possible, isolate asynchronous from synchronous copy connections on a host adapter basis
For a replication (Metro Mirror and/or Global Mirror), assign even and odd LSS/LCU to different
ports.
For example - use two 4-port host adapter cards for replication, even HA ports for even LSSs and odd HA
ports for odd LSSs providing 4 ports per LSS spanning two host adapters for availability.
Plug Order
For optimal performance
Avoid using adjacent ports
(if possible) on 2 Gb and 4
Gb host adapters (not
necessary on 8 Gb/second
adapters or 16 Gb/second
adapters)
Use 8 port cards for
connectivity requirements
Follow the following plug
order sequence
Plug Order
(2 Gb and
4 Gb 4-port
cards)
Plug Order
(8 Gb 4port cards)
Plug Order
(8 Gb 8

System z Plug Order - Example

For System Z
Place each path in a path group in
a different I/O bay.
Do not have two paths from the
same path group sharing a card
This will balance the workload over
the available HBAs

DS8000 WWPN Determination*
DS8000 WWNN is on: 50:05:07:63:0z:FF:Cx:xx
The z and x:xx values will be a unique combination for each machine and each Storage Facility Image (SFI).
Each SFI has its own WWNN. The Storage Unit itself also has a unique WWNN.
Use lssi to get the SFI WWNN (dont use lssu):
DS8000 WWPN is a child of the SFI WWNN, based on 50:05:07:63:0z:YY:Yx:xx
Take the z and x:xx value from the WWNN and use the YY:Y location derived from the port location as per the diagrams
All DS8000 diagrams are from a REAR view of the machine.
There are no differences for WWPN determination between DS8000 models

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any
user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage
configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput or performance improvements
equivalent to the ratios stated here.
