Application programming interfaces
The Storwize V7000 Unified system provides an application programming interface
that is called the Common Information Model (CIM) agent. The CIM agent
supports the Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) of the Storage
Network Industry Association.
Power and cooling requirements for the IBM Storwize V7000 file
module (2073-700)
The following document outlines power and cooling requirements for the IBM
Storwize V7000 file module (2073-700).
To aid in power and cooling requirements planning for the Storwize V7000 file
module, the following table lists the rating of the power supply unit used (PSU).
Two PSUs are used per Storwize V7000 file module.
Table 23. Power supply unit (PSU) rating.
PSU Input
Maximum Power
Output Caloric value BTU/hr
675 W 100 - 240V
7.8A - 3.8A
At a frequency of 50
Hz or 60Hz
675 W 2304 BTU/hour
The power and thermal measurements shown below were obtained in the specific
operating environment and under the conditions described below and are
presented as an illustration. Measurements obtained in other operating
environments may vary and customers should conduct their own testing.
Table 24. The following measurements were taken whilst using the Storwize V7000 file
module at between 20 and 23 degrees Celsius ambient with a typical workload, and when
idle.
Model Workload
Total Power
Consumption
Calorific Value
BTU/hr
2073-700 Powered on - typical 138 W 472 BTU/hour
2073-700 Powered on - idle 128 W 438 BTU/hour
Each Storwize V7000 file module contains 2 PSUs for redundancy. The Total Power
Consumption heading represents the total of the power drawn across both PSUs.
Storwize V7000 Unified environmental requirements
Before you install a Storwize V7000 Unified system, your physical environment
must meet certain requirements. This includes verifying that adequate space is
available and that requirements for power and environmental conditions are met.
This information pertains to Storwize V7000 Gen1 environmental requirements. For
