This IBM® Redbooks® publication highlights IBM TS7700 R4.1 through R4.1.2. The IBM TS7700 is part of a family of IBM Enterprise tape products. This book is intended for system architects and storage administrators who want to integrate their storage systems for optimal operation.

The IBM TS7700 offers a modular, scalable, and high-performance architecture for mainframe tape virtualization for the IBM Z environment. It is a fully integrated, tiered storage hierarchy of disk and tape. This storage hierarchy is managed by robust storage management microcode with extensive self-management capability. It includes the following advanced functions: :


Policy management to control physical volume pooling
Cache management
Redundant copies, including across a grid network
Copy mode control
TS7700 delivers the following new capabilities:


7 and 8 way Grid support through approved request for price quotation
16 Gb FICON adapter support for TS7760 (R4.1.2)
Optimized host data compression which is based on software (not FICON adapter hardware) compression algorithm (R4.1.2)
CUIR (Control Unit Initiated Reconfiguration) for code load improvement (R4.1.2)
Grid Resiliency Improvements (R4.1.2)
System Events Redesign (R4.1.2)
Remote System Log Processing Support in (R4.1.2)
Improvements to reliability, availability, and serviceability

The TS7760T writes data by policy to physical tape through attachment to high-capacity, high-performance IBM TS1150 and IBM TS1140 tape drives installed in an IBM TS4500 or TS3500 tape library.


The TS7760 models are based on high-performance and redundant IBM POWER8® technology. They provide improved performance for most IBM Z Systems tape workloads when compared to the previous generations of IBM TS7700.
