IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide

The IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node system can be managed through the IBM Flex 
System Management Node (FSM), or by using the native management software that runs in 
the hardware itself. 

The FSM simplifies storage management in the following ways:

��

Centralizes the management of storage network resources with IBM storage 
management software.

��

Provides greater synergy between storage management software and IBM 
storage devices.

��

Reduces the number of servers that are required to manage your software infrastructure.

��

Provides higher-level functions.

Remote Copy (Metro Mirror and 
Global Mirror) relationships per 
clustered system

4096

This configuration can be any 
mix of Metro Mirror and Global 
Mirror relationships.

Remote Copy relationships per 
consistency group

4096

No additional limit is imposed 
beyond the Remote Copy 
relationships per clustered 
system limit

Remote Copy consistency 
groups per clustered system

256

-

Total Metro Mirror and Global 
Mirror volume capacity per I/O 
group

1024 TB

This limit is the total capacity for 
all master and auxiliary 
volumes in the I/O group.

FlashCopy mappings per 
clustered system

4096

-

FlashCopy targets per source

256

-

Cascaded Incremental 
FlashCopy maps

4

A volume can be the source of 
up to four incremental 
FlashCopy maps. If this number 
of maps is exceeded, then the 
FlashCopy behavior for that 
cascade becomes 
non-incremental.

FlashCopy mappings per 
consistency group

512

-

FlashCopy consistency groups 
per clustered system

127

-

Total FlashCopy volume 
capacity per I/O group

1024 TB

4096 for a full four node 
clustered system with four I/O 
groups
