7. Spectrum Protect Decommissioning Lifecycle Enhancements7
Spectrum Protect Decommissioning Lifecycle Enhancements
Prior to version 7.1.3, Spectrum Protect Administrators managed the node decommission process manually
Client would stop accessing the server
Multiple steps over an extended period required to cause the data to expire and the node constructs to be removed from the Spectrum Protect Server
Decommission operations are consolidated with server commands and the Operations Center
The node is locked and cannot be unlocked
The node is removed from schedule and will no longer be backed up
All active data copies are marked inactive
All data expires and is deleted according to policy retention criteria
The file space is deleted
The node is deleted.

8. Spectrum Protect Decommissioning Lifecycle Enhancements 8
Spectrum Protect Decommissioning Lifecycle Enhancements
Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments
Spectrum Protect for Databases
The Decommission process can vary depending on the type of node and how the data is stored on the Spectrum Protect server
System client nodes (eg: workstations)
DECOMMISSION NODE
Virtual machines (e.g. Data Protection for VMware and Data Protection for Hyper-V)
DECOMMISSION VM
VM not removed from schedule
Application client nodes (eg: an server or database)
Additional administrative control added for API Applications (specifically Oracle)
DEACTIVATE DATA specifies that active data that was backed up for an application client node before a specified date is no longer needed
Active files that were created on the specified node on the TODATE or earlier are marked inactive
Command moves retention control from RMAN and tdposync to the Spectrum Protect server

11. Spectrum Protect Snapshot for Unix/Linux 4.1.3 – Oracle Cloning Update
Course title
Spectrum Protect Snapshot for Unix/Linux – Oracle Cloning Update
Snapshot for Unix 4.1 is already capable of creating, refreshing and deleting clones of a production Oracle and DB2 databases
Database must be setup on supported file systems using a Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
With release 10g Oracle introduced a feature called Automatic Storage Management (ASM). Oracle ASM is a volume manager and a file system for Oracle database files
Snapshot supports data protection for Oracle ASM databases since release 2.1 excluding the cloning feature. Enabling the existing Spectrum Protect Snapshot for Unix cloning functionality for Oracle ASM databases was done at version 4.1.1
Spectrum Protect Snapshot was improved in version to support Oracle RAC cloning
© Copyright IBM Corporation 2013

12. Spectrum Protect Snapshot for Unix/Linux 4. 1
Spectrum Protect Snapshot for Unix/Linux – Oracle RAC Cloning Update
Oracle RAC production database with name FLO and two instances FLO1 and FLO2
Three diskgroups:
+FLODATADG: Data files of the db
+FLOLOGDG: Log files of the db
+FLOCTLDG: Control files of the db
All diskgroups reside on two LUNs depicted in gray color
Clone process:
1. Create hardware snapshots of both gray LUNs to create a snapshot of all three diskgroups (pink LUNs)
2. Mount and recover the cloned database
3. Rename cloned diskgroups by appending the clone database name CLO
4. Open cloned database CLO with SID CLO1

13. Course title
Spectrum Protect Snapshot for VMware (Formerly FlashCopy Manager)
Spectrum Protect Snapshot for VMware and earlier requires snapshot target volumes be predefined on SVC based storage systems
Presented to Spectrum Snapshot using .fct file or target volume naming
Spectrum Protect Snapshot provides the option to dynamically allocate the SVC snapshot target volumes of the FlashCopy
Greatly improves ease of use
Note: The new adapter – for now – does not replace the old SVC adapter completely because it lacks some of its features:
Remote mirroring support
FULL and INCR copy mode (new adapter uses Space Efficient volumes in principle)
SVC based Storage Systems
The IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller
The IBM Storwize V7000, V5000 and V3700
The IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node
The IBM Storwize V7000 Unified
The IBM FlashSystems V840 and V9000

SVC DTA - Dynamic Target Allocation
Hides complexity of FlashCopy target volumes
Eliminates additional .fct file for target volumes
read/write mount of read-only snapshot backups
Non-destructively restores
Static target allocation:
Target Volume File parameter in the profile
...
>>> DEVICE_CLASS STANDARD
TARGET_SETS VOLUMES_FILE
VOLUMES_FILE <ACS_DIR>/volumes_file.fct
<<<
Unified Interface

15. Configuration
Spectrum Protect Snapshot for VMware requires a profile as usual
When configuring the new SVCDTA adapter:
Create / import SSH private key file (instead of using a password)
Use the setup.sh setup script or the Web GUI configuration wizard to create a profile file.
Decide to use the new SVCDTA or the old SVC predefined target sets during the configuration:
From the Web GUI configuration wizard, you can select one of the following device types:
Storwize family and SAN Volume Controller: dynamic target allocation
Storwize family and SAN Volume Controller: static target allocation
When using the setup script and prompted with a choice of storage device types, specify the new device type SVCDTA or SVC for the old approach.

16. Spectrum Protect for ERP Data Protection for SAP HANA on POWER
Support for Linux on Power Platform
Integrated into SAP HANA
Backup/restore operations are triggered through SAP HANA (GUI or cmd line)
SLES 11 SP3
Requires TSM API (like all other Spectrum Protect for ERP components)

17. IBM Spectrum Protect Licensing Models
IBM Spectrum Protect is offered with many different licensing models
hardware related pricing
capacity based pricing
The Processor Unit Value (PVU) licensing model counts the number of processor units and calculates the price for the product based on this number. Each component of Spectrum Protect is handled separately.
The Suite for Unified Recovery (SUR) is based on a per terabyte pricing model and is divided in two sub categories:
Back End Capacity: Counts the number of terabytes stored in the server storage pool and in storage arrays (IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot)
Front End Capacity: Count the number of terabytes protected in the production environment
Spectrum Protect Snapshot (Formally know as FlashCopy Manager) Standalone
Logical Unit Capacity (Spectrum Protect Snapshot): Counts the overall number of terabytes of the logical unit that contains the customer production data as presented to the host.
