❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Host Attach license for IBM DS3000?
A Host Attach license allows you to connect a host system (server) to your IBM DS3000 storage system. This specific license is required for Linux on Power environments to ensure full compatibility with DS3000, DS3200, DS3300, and DS3400 storage controllers. It authorizes access to shared storage and enables the use of advanced volume and partition management features.
Is this license compatible with all DS3000 models?
Yes, the 44W2101 license is compatible with the entire IBM DS3000 range, including the DS3200, DS3300, DS3400, and DS3950 models. It also works with DS4000 and DS5000 storage controllers equipped with the appropriate firmware. This license is specifically designed for Linux on Power systems and differs from licenses for Linux x86, AIX, or Solaris.
How many servers can I connect with a single license?
A Host Attach license for IBM DS3000 generally authorizes the connection of a Linux on Power host system to your DS3000 storage infrastructure. To connect multiple servers, you will need to purchase additional licenses according to your configuration. The number of available storage partitions varies by model (4 base partitions on DS3200/DS3300/DS3400, expandable up to a maximum of 32 partitions).
What is the difference between Linux on Power and Linux on Intel for DS3000 licenses?
IBM offers distinct licenses depending on the processor architecture of your host system. The Linux on Power license (reference 44W2101) is intended for IBM Power Systems servers using the POWER architecture (formerly PowerPC). Linux on Intel licenses are designed for standard x86/x64 servers. These licenses are not interchangeable and must precisely match your hardware architecture to work correctly with DS Storage Manager.
Do I need additional software to use this license?
Yes, you will need to install the IBM DS Storage Manager software (version compatible with your firmware) as well as the RDAC (Redundant Disk Array Controller) drivers or the DM-MP multipath drivers depending on your Linux configuration. These software components are available for free on the IBM support site. The Host Attach license authorizes storage access, while the management software allows you to configure volumes, storage partitions, and advanced features like FlashCopy and snapshots.
Is this license transferable to another storage system?
IBM Host Attach licenses are generally tied to the serial number of the DS3000 storage system on which they were initially activated. Transferring a license between different storage systems may require a specific procedure with IBM. We recommend checking IBM's licensing terms and consulting IBM support for any questions regarding the portability or transfer of this license to another DS3000 storage chassis.
