The IBM Storage Area Network (SAN) Data
Gateway for Serial Disk enables IBM 7133,
7131, and 3527 serial disk systems to
attach to host systems by using Ultra SCSI
and SCSI host adapters and drivers. All
7133 models are supported, including 36.4,
18.2, 9.1, and 4.5 GB capacities.

Powerful host-independent
functions
Host-independent RAID 1 disk mirroring
can improve performance and data
availability while simplifying operations.
The SAN Data Gateway replicates data
across or within serial disk systems—
simultaneously mirroring two or three
copies of data without host involvement.
With global hot disk sparing, data is
automatically rebuilt if a mirrored disk fails.
With SSA fibre optic extenders, mirrored
7133 Advanced Models D40 or T40 can
be separated by up to 10 km, and the SAN
Data Gateway and any 7133 model can
be separated by up to 2.4 km.

With 36.4 GB disks, logical volume groups
or partitions up to 580 GB can be created
for Windows NT servers, which have limited
volume addressing. The SAN Data
Gateway can create composite drives by
concatenating up to 16 physical disks.

Simplified management
The StorWatch SAN Data Gateway S20
Specialist is a Windows NT-based
management tool that provides configu-
ration and service functions—including
mirror group definition, creation of
composite drives, and Instant Copy disk
management—and can also manage
multiple SAN Data Gateways across the
enterprise.

A highly scalable solution
The SAN Data Gateway supports up to 64
serial disk drives in a single loop and
provides the capability to grow disk
capacity in a non-disruptive manner from
18.2 GB to 2.3 TB as requirements change.
As many as eight UNIX and Windows NT
