Description

Innovative IBM eServer platforms with new tools and application flexibility help lower costs, improve efficiency, and expedite e-business transformation.

  • Innovative Technology - Mainframe-inspired features extends IBM's leadership in open UNIX systems

  • New Tools - Manage e-business infrastructure with self- managing IBM eServer platforms

  • Application Flexibility -- Uncompromised flexibility in selecting, building, and deploying e-business infrastructure applications

The IBM eServer pSeries 690 (7040-681) is the first in a family of products representing a new generation of IBM's 64-bit, symmetric multiprocessing UNIX (SMP) servers. It gives you the power you need to consolidate workloads within a single, powerful, UNIX system. The large SMP server no longer functions merely as a server, but rather as a self- contained "IT infrastructure in a box."

The attributes of the pSeries 690 set the stage to grow as your needs change:

  • High availability
  • Scalability
  • Reliability
  • Flexibility

Use it as you make your transition from existing RS/6000 Model S80 and p680 units or move to a brand new computing model.

New platform designs and new features (for example, SMP performance, serviceability, assurances, and logical partitioning), position the pSeries 690 to satisfy the unpredictable and unprecedented performance, capacity, and availability you demand. It can also handle high-growth e-business, NetGen segments, the Telco Customer Care and Billing (CCB) subsegment of CRM, and the high performance computing environment.

You can partition the system in up to 32 logical partitions for a variety of cost-saving efficiencies that spell effective competition.

Key benefits:

  • Fewer systems to manage and maintain:
    • Less floor space and power
    • Reduced likelihood of operator error

  • Greater flexibility in:
    • Using available capacity
    • Matching dynamically changing workloads
    • Managing rolling software upgrades

  • High availability by repartitioning your system

  • Enhanced management using of the Hardware Management Console

  • Hardware and software in supporting multiple instances of the AIX operating system and applications

You gain leading-edge technologies, such as the POWER4 or POWER4+ microprocessor, logical partitioning, and enhanced management features to bolster continuous operation and workload management in your 24 x 7 business environment.

The system is driven by IBM's world-class UNIX operating system, AIX 5L.

Innovative Technology The p690 further extends IBM's leadership with enhanced processors, self-managing, LPAR and configuration capabilities for its pSeries of UNIX systems.

  • Designed for the self-managed environment with high levels of reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) capability:

    • Self-configuring; hot-plug disk and PCI

    • Self-healing; Chipkill, memory bit scrubbing, dynamic de-allocation of processors, cache, PCI bus, and LPAR

    • Self-optimizing; Workload Manager, LPAR

    • Self-protecting; cryptographic coprocessors, digital certificates, Kerberos

  • Leadership technology:
    • Copper and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) helps produce faster chips that run cooler
    • POWER4 and POWER4+ processors provide SMP on a chip with dual microprocessors
    • Up to 1.9 GHz, 64-bit processors

  • Flexible configurations:
    • SMP, LPAR, Clusters

The pSeries 690 can be attached to SP systems. The design of the Central Electronics Complex (CEC) is intended to eliminate the concept of unique nodes. SP implementations are intended to be configurations of clustered pSeries 690 servers. For the first time, SP CECs and base server designs will be indistinguishable. The combination of LPAR, common CEC hardware, platform-optimized I/O drawers, a common hardware console, common switch fabric, and attachment adapters will provide customers with new levels of flexibility and scalability not previously available in a UNIX system.

The pSeries meets a diverse set of needs scaling from small departmental and distributed systems to massively parallel super computers. Each pSeries features IBM's UNIX operating system AIX 5L, the most open UNIX with Linux Affinity. For more information about Linux running on IBM eServer pSeries consult:

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/linux/

Linux for pSeries is available directly from the Linux distributors. IBM does not sell nor install Linux on pSeries systems.

The ultra-powerful IBM eServer pSeries 690 sets the standard for datacenter-class UNIX servers with its mainframe-heritage LPAR and self- managing features.

The p690 was the first system to offer the POWER4 microprocessor. The POWER4 chip was the first ever dual processor SMP on a single piece of silicon. The balanced performance of the POWER4 and POWER4+ chips are equally at home with mission-critical commercial or compute-intensive applications.

The system features include:

  • Full 64-bit implementation
  • AIX 5L V5.1 or V5.2
  • 1.1 GHz or 1.3 GHz POWER4 processors 1.5 GHz 1.7 or 1.9 GHz POWER4+ processors
  • 8-, 16-, 24-, 32-way SMPs
  • 8 GB to 1024 GB DDR memory
  • L2 and L3 ECC caches
  • Up to 32 Logical Partitions (LPAR)
  • Service processor for RAS
  • First Failure Data Capture
  • Self-diagnosing and healing features
  • IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries (HMC)

The pSeries 690 can be configured up to eight 7040-61D I/O Drawers. The I/O drawers can contain up to 16 hot-swap capable disks structured into four 4-packs of 18.2 GB, 36.4 GB, 73.4 GB or 146.8 GB disks. This delivers up to 2.34 terabytes maximum per I/O Drawer, with up to 8 drawers and 18.79 terabytes of internal disk for the system.

The drawer contains two planars with 10 slots per planar, 20 slots/drawer, with a maximum of 160 slots per system. The slots are hot- pluggable to permit PCI or PCI-X adapters to be added or replaced without extending the I/O drawer, all while the system remains available to the customer.

For unmatched UNIX system performance and scalability, up to 16 POWER4 or POWER4+ chips (32-way) can be added to the pSeries 690. To help customers consolidate UNIX and Linux workloads the system can be split into as many as 32 logical partitions.

Complementing the power of the pSeries 690 is extraordinary self- managing capabilities. The system can detect faulty memory, processors, cache and PCI buses and dynamically take them offline. It even makes the service call. All of this without requiring administrative action or interrupting operations. Growth is easy with hot-swappable disk drive and hot-plug PCI and PCI-X. For the ultimate in availability the systems can be clustered together with High Availability Cluster Multiprocessing software.

Self-managing Systems

Complexity is a way of life for businesses today. On average, companies must contend with five different architectures in their e-business infrastructure. The challenge customers face is how to manage all of these resources cost effectively while transforming their infrastructure. Compounding the problem is the projected short fall of skills and the explosive growth of the Internet.

This all-encompassing strategy addresses the self-management needs in four areas:

  • Self-configuring -- systems can be reconfigured or expanded without interrupting operations

  • Self-healing -- systems can detect impending problems and correct for them automatically to keep systems going and lower administrative expense

  • Self-optimizing -- systems can dynamically balance resources and workloads to maximize responsiveness and throughput

  • Self-protecting -- systems can help protect transactions and enterprise data

I/O Drawer

The 7040-61D I/O drawer provides PCI adapter slots and internal disk capabilities for use with pSeries servers such as the pSeries 690 (7040-681). The Model 61D is a 4U drawer which mounts in the 24-inch 7040-61R System Rack and connects to the system Central Electronics Complex via remote I/O cables.

Each Model 61D I/O drawer provides 20 blind-swap PCI or PCI-X slots and sixteen hot-swap disk bays. The Model 61D utilizes redundant power converters and power cabling to help ensure high reliability and availability. It utilizes 350 V bulk power supplied from the 7040-61R system rack.

System Rack

The 7040-61R System Rack provides space for mounting system drawer components for pSeries servers such as the pSeries 690 Central Electronics Complex (7040-681) and the 7040-61D I/O drawers. The Model 61R is a 24-inch rack which provides 42U of rack space.

The 7040-61R utilizes a 350 V DC bulk power subsystem to provide power for the components within the rack. The bulk power subsystem incorporates redundant bulk power assemblies mounted in the front and rear sections of the top 8U of the rack.

If additional 24-inch rack space is required an optional expansion rack feature is available for the Model 61R rack. The expansion rack feature connects to the side of the primary rack to provide an additional 42U of rack space. The components in the expansion rack are powered from the bulk power subsystem in the primary Model 61R rack.

RAS Features and Functions

Excellent quality and reliability features are the keys to all facets of IBM eServer pSeries products. The measures taken help ensure the products operate when required, perform reliably, efficiently handle infrequent failures in a nondisruptive fashion, and provide timely and competent repair to allow resumption of operations with minimal inconvenience.

Reliability begins with the development of architectures, where RAS innovations are of paramount importance. The reliability concept flows through design and product development stages, where RAS designs are reviewed, assessed, developed, evaluated, and optimized. It continues through the manufacturing and release processes, where the manufacturing quality is extensively measured and is under continual evaluation. It culminates in service and support, where:

  • Reliability is consistently monitored for deviation from the criteria.
  • Warranty and maintenance have high priority.
  • Significant customer problems are assigned to and addressed by an expert team.

IBM eServer pSeries 690 system processes, from the architectural and concept phases of development through the provision of service and support, are ISO certified and audited periodically for ISO compliance by representatives of Underwriters Laboratories.

Reliability -- Fault Avoidance

Major effort has been spent on the development of the p690 system to analyze single points-of-failure within the central electronic complex (CEC) (comprised of the processors, memory, and the I/O interface) and to either eliminate them or to provide hardening capabilities to significantly reduce the probability of failure. The best way to harden a system is to prevent errors from occurring. Components within the CEC were selected to provide "server" levels of reliability. These components undergo the highest level of reliability testing within IBM. During the design and development process, subsystems go through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During system manufacturing, systems again go through a thorough testing process designed to ensure highest product quality level.

Extensive error detecting and checking circuitry is included to help ensure that infrequent component failures are recognized and corrected automatically, and properly reported for isolation and repair. This helps preserve the integrity of data stored and transported in the system. To support a diagnostic technique called "run time first failure data capture", errors detected by the CEC error checking circuitry are automatically captured and analyzed by the service processor at the time of error. The system is designed to identify and log the appropriate replacement part or parts without the need to reproduce the error condition. The purpose of this function is to significantly reduce the repeat failure and repair scenarios associated with error recreate strategies by providing the correct isolation at the time of the failure. Reduced outages and quicker repair time can result in higher system reliability and better overall availability.

Hardware and software failures are recorded in the AIX log facility and analyzed by error log analysis (ELA) routines to provide warning to the system administrator on the causes of system problems. On p690 systems, all service action requests are forwarded from the operating system partitions to a Service Focal Point (SFP) application running on the Hardware Management Console (HMC). The service focal point application analyzes the potentially duplicate reported failures from the various logical partitions, attempts to determine the root cause of the fault, and upon identifying the cause, initiates call-home requests to IBM support utilizing the HMC modem and the Service Agent application program. This enables IBM service representatives to have available needed replacement hardware components when a service call is placed, thus minimizing system repair time.

Availability -- Backup and Replication

Power and Cooling Subsystem

The pSeries 690 brings new a level of availability features and functions to the Enterprise Server. Within the CEC Rack, the N+1 power and cooling subsystem can provide complete redundancy in case of failures in the bulk or regulated power supplies, the power controllers and the cooling units. Concurrent repair is supported on all of the power and cooling components.

The p690 also features redundant Internal Battery Features (IBF) to hold the system up during brown-out conditions. For full power loss protection, the p690 supports optional uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems in addition to, or in place of, the IBF features.

In the I/O drawers, N+1 power and cooling is provided with the capability for concurrent repair of the power components and deferred repair of the cooling units.

Constant power monitoring hardware assists in detection of early loss of source power, and is designed to notify the operating system to effect an orderly shutdown. This same power monitoring hardware can detect the loss of redundant bulk power supplies, regulators, fans, and blowers and report them to the operating system for entry in the system error log and for maintenance notification.

CEC Subsystem

RAS features such as ECC on the L1 data cache and L2 data and directory caches can provide dynamic detection and correction of hard or soft array cell failures. Dynamic de-allocation functions include:

  • L3 cache line detect and L2 cache de-allocation
  • Individual L3 cache memory bypass
  • L2 cache and CPU de-allocation
  • Redundant bit steering in L1 and L2 caches and L2 and L3 directory arrays

Building on the robust features of the processor complex, the p690 system has enhanced error detection and prevention capabilities. These processor RAS features are called Dynamic Processor De-allocation and Persistent Processor De-allocation. Predictive failure analysis is performed on recoverable processor errors during run-time. If a processor exceeds a threshold of recoverable errors such as on L2 cache accesses, the system is designed to log the event marked and deconfigure the processor from the system while the operating system continues to run. This feature allows the processor to be repaired on a deferred basis while helping prevent an unscheduled system outage.

Persistent Processor De-allocation is designed to ensure that on subsequent reboots, the processor remains out of the system configuration until replaced. The standard memory card has single error-correct and double-error detect ECC circuitry to correct single-bit memory failures. The double-bit detection helps maintain data integrity by detecting and reporting multiple errors beyond what the ECC circuitry can correct. The memory chips are organized such that the failure of any specific memory module should only affect a single bit within an ECC word (bit scattering), thus allowing for error correction and continued operation in the presence of a complete chip failure (Chipkill recovery).

This memory card also utilizes memory scrubbing and thresholding to determine when spare memory modules within each bank of memory should be used to replace ones that have exceeded their threshold value (dynamic bit steering). Memory scrubbing is the process of reading the contents of memory during idle time and checking and correcting any single-bit errors that have accumulated. These single-bit failures could be either solid (technology failures) or soft failures (intermittent errors caused by noise or other cosmic effects). If an error is detected, the system is designed to correct it by passing the data through the ECC logic that corrects the fault and then writing the corrected contents back to its memory address location.

In order to prevent an uncorrectable memory error from causing a system outage, the service processor is designed to initiate a deferred maintenance request on memory cards that have used their spare bits and are experiencing additional correctable errors (memory predictive failure analysis).

DASD predictive failure analysis is designed to detect an imminent disk failure and report the findings through the AIX log. Then the disk can be replaced either immediately or scheduled at a later time, depending on the configuration of the DASD subsystem. With the hot-plug disk design, normal operation can continue in the presence of a failed disk and a concurrent repair can be performed while the application continues uninterrupted.

Availability - UE Error Handling

Rare events in the processor, cache, and memory subsystems sometimes cause errors that exceed the error correction capability, and become Uncorrectable Errors (Ues). In other systems, these result in immediate checkstop with the offending component fully identified by the run time diagnostics. The p690 is designed not to cause a check stop of the system in these instances. Instead, the corrupted data is specially marked until used by a processor, at which time a new synchronous machine check interrupt allows AIX to localize the effect to a single LPAR partition or a software process. This provides the capability of localizing a global system resource to affecting only the partition utilizing the resource instead of checkstopping all system partitions. The affected partition can then be rebooted with significantly reduced boot time as compared to a full system reboot.

I/O Subsystem

The interface from the processor to the I/O is through the Remote I/O (RIO) link. This link uses a loop interconnect technology to provide redundant paths to I/O drawers. There is a maximum of 1 I/O drawer on each loop path, with a total of 8 I/O drawers per system. RIO availability features include CRC checking on the RIO bus with packet retry on bus timeouts. In addition, if a RIO link fails, the hardware is designed to automatically initiate a RIO bus reassignment to route the data through the alternate path to its intended destination.

Availability - PCI Bus Error Recovery

In the p690 system, the PCI slots in the I/O expansion drawers have specialized hardware and system firmware to support PCI Bus Parity Error Recovery. The specialized hardware function is designed to interact with the software device driver to help prevent PCI slot bus errors from causing a system machine check interrupt and subsequent reboot. Instead, errors are reported locally to the specific device driver controlling activity to the PCI device. Special firmware commands allow the device driver to reset the slot and retry the command, and perform other recovery operations without affecting the total system operation.

The purpose of this design point is also to provide better fault isolation for PCI adapters because each PCI adapter is in essence on its own PCI bus. If it has an interface error, it only affects this single adapter instead of all other adapters residing on the common PCI bus. Thus repair time is significantly reduced because isolation is to the specific adapter and PCI hot plug allows concurrent repair of that card without affecting other adapters.

The pSeries 690 uses AIX online (concurrent) diagnostics with error log analysis and service aids, which can allow administrators or IBM service representatives to diagnose potential system malfunction without interrupting end-user operation.

Auto-restart options, when enabled, are designed to reboot the system automatically following:

  • Unrecoverable software error
  • Software hang
  • Hardware failure
  • Environmentally-induced (AC power) failure

These standard, high-availability features, coupled with the optional High Availability Cluster Multi-Processing (HACMP) program, are designed to provide unmatched availability among UNIX systems.

Serviceability -- Correcting Faults

The pSeries 690 product is designed to be installed and maintained by a trained service representative.

Much of the repair of the p690 system can be done in either a concurrent repair or a deferred repair scenario. Areas of the system that support the concurrent repair scenario are PCI adapters, the entire CEC power and cooling subsystem and the power subsystem on the I/O drawers as well as the integrated disk units. Deferred repair scenarios are supported for the I/O drawer cooling units, Remote I/O (RIO) connections, power connections, and predictive failure analyzed portions of the CEC including the processors and memory subsystems when components have been varied off either dynamically or at boot time.

Microcode Discovery Service

Microcode Discovery Service is a new service that allows you to determine if your pSeries 690 is at the latest microcode level. Using a secure Internet connection and a Web browser, Microcode Discovery Service can capture the machine data and generate a real-time comparison report showing subsystems that may need to be updated.

To accomplish this, you must install the new service tool onto your system. This tool, Inventory Scout, will run as a daemon on the server. The tool will create a file containing the current level of all microcode (adapters, devices, system, and support processor) levels in the system. This file will be used to compare the system level codes against the latest available levels on the IBM Web site. You will then receive a report notifying you of any new updates available along with a link from which the microcode can be downloaded.

This service will allow you to maintain the pSeries 690 microcode at the latest levels to obtain peak performance. This service will be available to customers through the Worldwide Support Centers.

  • Service Focal Point

    To accommodate error reporting, analysis and repair in the LPAR environment, a new application was developed to run on the Hardware Management Console (HMC). This application is called the Service Focal Point (SFP) and leverages the design capabilities of the HMC to provide equivalent virtual function to the current capabilities presented by physical op panels, service processor TTY menu interfaces and system firmware interfaces as well as capability for configuring/reconfiguring building block hardware into partitions. The Service Focal Point is a system infrastructure which manages serviceable event information for the system building blocks. It consists of resource managers which monitor and record information about different objects in the system. It filters and correlates events from the resource managers and initiates calls home when appropriate. It also provides a user interface which allows a user to view the events and perform problem determination. When a problem is corrected the user can record actions that have been taken to resolve the hardware problem. These features of SFP support the overall problem management strategy in a complex system.

    The SFP application receives service action events from the Service Processor for critical system down situations, and from the Service Agent application programs running on the individual logical partitions for system recoverable or predictive events as well as Operating System or device driver detected events.

  • Service Action Event Log

    The SFP collects the serviceable events from different building blocks together in a Service Action Event (SAE) log. The log entries are generated by analysis routines that run on an error that has occurred in a building block. The resource manager for the building block forwards information about the event to the service focal point and the information is placed in the SAE log. The particular content of the error data depends upon the type of the error and on the system configuration itself.

    The SAE log on the SFP also contains pointers to extended information that may have been recorded at the time of a serviceable event by the building block. Extended error collection includes not only the collection of first failure data capture, but also vital product data, partition information, operating system error logs, service processor error logs, error register data, etc.

    When the SFP receives a new log entry, filtering is performed to determine if this was a unique event. The filtering is done because sometimes an event notification can come from more than one resource manager for the same event or a resource manager may forward a notification for an event which previously occurred but has not been corrected yet.

  • Service Agent Component

    When a service action event is logged in the SFP, the system needs to communicate the failure back to IBM. During this call-home function, particular error data and system configuration information needs to be sent to IBM to drive the service delivery infrastructure. The SFP utilizes the Service Agent focal point application residing on the HMC along with the HMC modem to initiate the call home and transfer the pertinent error information to IBM Service. When a call home is required, Service Agent manages the connection to IBM which is used to open a problem record. The problem record is used by the service delivery team to determine whether or not to dispatch a customer engineer (CE) with the appropriate service parts to the system to perform a repair.

    When service personnel perform a repair on the system, the SFP is used to identify the source of the problem and record information relating to the repair. When the repair has been completed, the service representative can update the SAE log with FRU replacement information and any comments that the service representative has. The information stored by the SFP represents the system's service history and can be used to ensure proper maintenance over the life of the system.

  • Guiding Light Maintenance

    To assist the service representative in locating the correct system unit and drawer that contain the fault requiring repair, the SFP can enable the capability to flash LEDs on the respective system unit and drawer that contain the fault.

Service Support

Hardware service requests go to IBM's remote support center for initial problem diagnosis. This approach gives you direct access to skilled specialists. These specialists can either solve the problem over the phone or help get it resolved as quickly as possible. They are backed up by a highly-trained product engineering team to assist in problem identification and resolution.

Feature Availability Matrix

The following feature availability matrix for MT 7040 uses the letter "A" to indicate features that are available and orderable on the specified models. "S" indicates a feature that is supported on the new model during a model conversion; these features will work on the new model, but additional quantities of these features cannot be ordered on the new model; they can only be removed. "N" indicates that the feature is not supported on the new model and must be removed during the model conversion. As additional features are announced, supported, or withdrawn, this list will be updated. Please check with your Marketing Representative for additional information.

        |6| A = AVAILABLE  S = SUPPORTED
        |8| N = NOT SUPPORTED, MUST BE REMOVED

    • One MES remove - 7040-671 Rack Content Specify (#0209)
    • One MES add - 7040-681 Rack Content Specify (#0190)

The following components of the p670 server are carried over to the p690 server during a model conversion:

  • 7040-671 CEC components moved to 7040-681 CEC
    • Two POWER4 (1.1 GHz) or POWER4+ (1.5 GHz) 8-way MCMs and associated L3 Cache
    • All installed memory cards
    • Media drawer, operator panel, installed media, and associated attachment cables
    • Programmable clock card
    • Power converter assemblies and associated power cabling
    • Capacitor book
    • Support processor and remote I/O attachment card

  • All installed 7040-61D I/O drawers, attachment cables, installed adapters, and hard disks

  • 7040-61R rack, doors, power components, and line cords

The following items will be shipped with all p670 to p690 model conversions:

  • 7040-681 documentation
  • 7040-681 serial number label preserving the 7040-671 serial number

Additional components may be shipped for some model conversions based on the configuration of the installed p670 server.

Any components removed during the p670 to p690 model conversion are the property of IBM.

The completion of this model conversion will generate a 16-way pSeries 690 server functioning at the same processor speed as the predecessor 16-way pSeries 670 server.

After the model conversion is completed, additional processors, memory, and other components may be ordered for the resulting P690 server as desired. In addition, all pSeries 690 feature conversions to faster processors, larger memory, etc., may be ordered for the resulting p690 server.

Note: (1) This memory configuration is valid but is not recommended. Please review application performance implications before ordering this memory configuration.

Note: (2) The above configuration table applies to Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) memory cards as well as conventional memory cards. Utilize maximum card capacity when applying the above configuration rules to CUoD memory cards:

  • Partially activated 16 GB CUoD memory cards apply 16 GB configuration rules.

  • Partially activated 32 GB CUoD memory cards apply 32 GB configuration rules.

  • For additional information regarding the effect of memory card placement and balancing on system performance review the Configuring p690 for Performance white paper.

  • IBM recommends systems configured with 4 GB of memory, or greater, to have access to a 4-mm or 8-mm tape drive for submission of system dump information, if required. This function may be accomplished via locally attached or network attached devices as appropriate.

Logical Partitioning (LPAR)

  • The pSeries 690 can be divided into as many as 32 logical partitions. System resources can be dedicated to each LPAR.

    • Servers configured with Support Processor with Remote I/O Loop Attachment (#6404) can support up to 16 LPARs maximum

    • Servers configured with Support Processor with Remote I/O-2 (RIO-2) Loop Attachment (6418) can support up to 32 LPARs maximum.

  • LPAR allocation, monitoring, and control is provided by the Hardware Management Console.

  • Each LPAR functions under it's own instance of the operating system.

  • A minimum of one processor and 1 GB of memory is required per LPAR.

  • A minimum of 4 GB of system memory is recommended per LPAR.

  • I/O adapters in PCI slots may be allocated to an LPAR on an individual slot basis.

  • Integrated Ultra3 SCSI controllers located in the 7040-61D I/O drawers may be individually allocated to an LPAR. These integrated SCSI adapters each support one 4-pack disk backplane.

  • While it is not mandatory, consideration should be given to allocating one half of a 7040-61D I/O drawer for each LPAR. This would provide one 10-slot PCI or PCI-X planar, two integrated SCSI controllers, and two 4-Pack SCSI disk backplanes to the LPAR. This will help to ensure balanced I/O bandwidth for the LPAR configurations.

  • Systems with CUoD features do not support the Affinity Logical Partitioning option.

IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries

  • The IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries (HMC) provides a set of functions that are necessary to manage the pSeries 690 LPAR configurations. These functions include:

    • Create and store LPAR profiles which define the processor, memory, and I/O resources allocated to an individual partition.

    • Starting, stopping, and resetting a system partition.

    • Boot a partition or system by selecting a profile.

    • Display system and partition status.

    • Displaying the contents of a virtual operator panel for each partition or controlled system.

  • The following Hardware Management Consoles can be used to control a p690 server:
    • HMC feature #7315 purchased with a 7040-681 server
    • HMC feature #7316 purchased with a 7040-671 or 7040-681 server
    • IBM 7315-C01. C02, or C03 Tabletop Hardware Management Console
    • IBM 7315-CR2 Rack Mounted. Hardware Management Console

  • The HMC also provides a service focal point for the systems it controls. It is connected to the support (service) processor of the system via a dedicated serial link. The HMC provides tools for problem determination and service support, such as call-home and error log notification through an analog phone line.

  • The HMC is a dedicated function device. It is utilized only for the control and service functions of the pSeries servers it serves. It is not available for use as a general purpose computing resource.

  • Each HMC must be configured with a graphics display and a keyboard. Various native language keyboards are available for the HMC. However, the HMC displays menus and control information in English regardless of the keyboard utilized.

  • The number of servers an HMC can control is dependent on the particular HMC and the server environment.

  • HMC feature #7315 (ordered with a 7040-681 server) can control up to four pSeries servers in a non-clustered environment.

  • The 7315-C01, C02, C03 or CR2 HMC or HMC feature #7316 (ordered with a 7040-671 or 681 server) can control the following numbers of servers in a non-clustered environment:

    • 12 pSeries 670 and/or p690 servers with up to 64 LPARS or

    • 16 pSeries 655 servers with up to 32 LPARS or

    • 16 pSeries 630 or pSeries 650 servers with up to 64 LPARS or

    • 16 pSeries servers and 64 LPARS in a mixed server environment. A mixed server environment can contain a combined maximum of eight p670 and/or p690 servers.

  • Information regarding HMC control of clustered servers can be found in the "Scaling Statement" section of the Family 9078+01 IBM eServer Cluster 1600, 9078-160 sales manual.

  • If redundant HMC function is desired, the pSeries 670 can be attached to two separate hardware management consoles.

  • An Ethernet connection between the HMC and each active partition on the pSeries server is recommended for all installations and required for dynamic LPAR configurations. This connection is utilized to provide:

    • Additional systems management such as WebSM management of AIX in the individual partitions.

    • Collection and passing of hardware service events to the HMC for automatic notification of error conditions to IBM.

    • Total system inventory collection.

  • The 7315 C01, C02, and C03 Tabletop HMCs provide two integrated serial ports. The 7315-CR2 Rack Mounted HMC provides only one integrated serial port. One serial port is required for each pSeries server controlled by the HMC. An additional serial port is required for modem attachment if the Service Agent call-home function is implemented. When more than two serial ports are required 8-port (#2943) and 128-port (#2944) asynchronous adapters should be utilized.

    Note: 128-Port Asynchronous Adapters are not supported on the feature #7315 HMC.

  • Up to two 8-port or 128-port asynchronous adapters are allowed per HMC.

System Control

  • Each p690 CEC must be connected to a Hardware Management Console (HMC) for system control, LPAR (logical partitioning), Capacity Upgrade on Demand, and service functions. The HMC is capable of supporting multiple p690 systems.

  • The p690 provides two special async ports special dedicated for HMC attachment. The connectors on these ports are differentiated from standard async ports by providing a 9-pin female connector vs the standard 9-pin male connector. The connection between the HMC and the p690 CEC is through cables available in 6-meter (#8120) and 15-meter (#8121) lengths.

  • The p690 also provides two async ports which are available for attachment of ASCII terminals and devices. These two async ports are under the control of the system's service processor and are not available for functions such as HACMP heartbeat cabling or UPS control which require fully dedicated ports. The service processor menus may be accessed through an ASCII terminal attached to one of the async ports or via an internal firmware controlled "wrap" connection to the HMC. When not in use for accessing service processor menus, the async ports are available for general purpose uses which do not require dedicated ports.

I/O Drawers

  • The pSeries 690 utilizes the 7040-61D I/O drawer for directly attached PCI or PCI-X adapters and SCSI disk capabilities. The p690 requires a minimum of one 7040-61D drawer; a maximum of 8 I/O drawers can be attached.

  • Each 7040-61D I/O drawer is divided into two separate halves. Each half contains ten blind-swap PCI or PCI-X slots and two Ultra3 SCSI 4-pack back planes for a total of twenty PCI slots and sixteen hot-swap disk bays per drawer.

  • One single-wide, blind-swap cassette (equivalent to those in feature #4599) is provided in each PCI or PCI-X slot of the 7040-61D. Cassettes not containing an adapter will be shipped with a "dummy" card installed to ensure proper environmental characteristics for the drawer. If additional single-wide, blind-swap cassettes are needed, feature #4599 should be ordered.

  • All ten PCI or PCI-X slots on each I/O drawer planar are capable of supporting either 64-bit or 32-bit PCI or PCI-X adapters. Each #6563 planar provides seven 3.3V, 66 MHz, 64-bit PCI slots and three 5V, 32 MHz, 64-bit PCI slots. Each #6571 planar provides ten PCI-X slots capable of supporting 3.3V signaling PCI or PCI-X adapters operating at speeds up to 133 MHz.

  • While it is not optimized, #6563 PCI and #6571 PCI-X planars may reside in the same 61D I/O drawer.

  • Each I/O drawer planar incorporates two integrated Ultra3 SCSI adapters for direct attachment of the two 4-pack hot swap backplanes in that half of the drawer. These adapters do not support external SCSI device attachments.

  • Each half of the 7040-61D I/O drawer is powered separately.

  • I/O drawers occupy specific locations in the 7040-61R rack or expansion feature rack. Drawer placement is specified by the mounting location of the bottom of the drawer. Drawer placement is as follows:

    • Drawer #1 - Placement indicator #4609 - 9U position of 7040-61R rack

    • Drawer #2 - Placement indicator #4605 - 5U position of 7040-61R rack

    • Drawer #3 - Placement indicator #4601 - 1U position of 7040-61R rack

    • Drawer #4:

      • Placement indicator #4613 - 13U position of 7040-61R rack if Integrated Battery Backup feature (#6200) is not installed.

      • Placement indicator #4409 - 9U position of expansion rack if Integrated Battery Backup feature (#6200) is installed at location #4613.

    • Drawer #5 - Placement indicator #4401 - 1U position of expansion rack

    • Drawer #6 - Placement indicator #4405 - 5U position of expansion rack

    • Drawer #7 - Placement indicator #4413 - 13U position of the expansion rack

    • Drawer #8 - Placement indicator #4419 - 19U position of the expansion rack

I/O Drawer Attachment

  • 7040-61D I/O drawers are always connected to the p690 CEC via RIO (Remote I/O) or RIO-2 loops. 61D connections are always made in loops to help protect against a single point-of-failure resulting from an open, missing, or disconnected cable. p690 systems with non-looped configurations could experience degraded performance and serviceability.

  • RIO loop connections operate at 500 MHz. RIO loops connect to the 7040-681 CEC via Support Processor with Remote I/O Loop Attachment (#6404) (2 Loops) or Remote I/O Loop Adapter (#6410) (4 Loops).

  • RIO-2 loop connections operate at 1 GHz. RIO-2 loops connect to the 7040-681 CEC Support Processor with Remote I/O-2 (RIO-2) Loop Attachment (#6418) (2 Loops), or Remote I/O-2 (RIO-2) Loop Adapter (#6419) (4 Loops).

  • All RIO and RIO-2 loop attachment adapters must operate at the same speed within a p690 server. The attachment adapter combinations (#6404 and #6410 OR #6418 and #6419, OR #6440 and #6441) are mutually exclusive.

  • Up to eight 7040-61D I/O drawers can be attached to the p690 depending on the server and attachment configuration. The Support Processor and Remote I/O Loop Attachment card (RIO #6404 or RIO-2 #6418 or #6440) provides system control function as well as two RIO or RIO-2 loops for drawer attachment. Each Remote I/O Loop Adapter (RIO #6410 or RIO-2 #6419 or #6441) provides up to four additional four RIO or RIO-2 loops.

  • 633MHz RIO-2 loop attachment adapters #6440 and #6441 are available only on 7040-681 servers equipped with 1.9GHz processor MCMs #5241 and/or #7431.

  • When utilizing RIO attachment the following number of I/O drawers are allowed per MCM:
    • One MCM allows attachment of up to two I/O Drawers
    • Two MCMs allow attachment of up to four I/O Drawers
    • Three MCMs allow attachment of up to six I/O Drawers.
    • Four MCMs allow attachment of up to eight I/O Drawers.

  • When utilizing RIO-2 attachment a maximum of 14 loops are available for I/O drawer attachment. The following table indicates the number of available I/O loops for each combination of MCMs vs loop attachment adapters available:
    Number   With Only  With One  With Two  With Three
    Of MCMs  #6418      #6419     #6419     #6419
               or         or        or        or
             #6440      #6441     #6441     #6441
    One        2          N/A       N/A       N/A
    Two        2           4         6        N/A
    Three      2           6         8        12
    Four       2           6        10        14
     

  • When utilizing RIO-2 loop attachment the number of drawers that can be attached to a 7040-681 server is as follows:

    • Up to eight I/O drawers if all are attached via single-loop mode.

    • Up to seven I/O drawers if all are attached via dual-loop mode.

    • Up to eight I/O drawers with a combination of single-loop and dual- loop attachment. This requires at least two drawers are connected in single-loop mode.

  • 7040-61D I/O drawers may be connected to the 7040-681 CEC in either single-loop or dual-loop mode. Dual-loop mode is recommended whenever possible as it provides the maximum bandwidth between the I/O drawer and the CEC.

  • Single-loop mode connects an entire I/O drawer to the CEC via one RIO or RIO-2 loop (2 ports). The two I/O planars in the I/O drawer are connected together via a short RIO or RIO-2 cable. Single-loop connection requires one loop (2 ports) per I/O drawer.

    • Single-loop mode connection is required for I/O drawers containing two #6563 PCI planars whether connected via RIO or RIO-2 ports on the Model 681 CEC.

    • Single-loop mode is allowed for I/O drawers containing two #6571 PCI-X planars. However dual-loop mode is recommended for this configuration.

  • Dual-loop mode connects each I/O planar in the drawer to the CEC separately. Dual-loop connection requires RIO-2 connection and is not available with RIO connection. Each I/O planar is connected to the CEC via a separate RIO-2 loops. Dual-loop connection requires two loops (4 ports) per I/O drawer.

    • Dual-loop mode is required for I/O drawers containing one #6563 PCI I/O planar and one #6571 PCI-X I/O planar.

    • Dual-loop mode is recommended for all I/O drawers containing two #6571 I/O planars.

  • To aid in manufacturing, it is recommended that initial p690 server orders containing both single-and dual-looped drawers specify the single- looped drawers as the lowest numbered drawers in the configuration.

  • PCI I/O planars (#6563) provide a RIO type cable connector for system attachment. When connecting to a CEC equipped with RIO ports 2 meter RIO cables (#3149) are used. When connecting to a CEC equipped with RIO-2 ports 3 meter RIO to RIO-2 cables (#3165) are used. Single-loop connection of two #6563 planars within an I/O drawer utilizes a 0.5 meter RIO cable (#3145) between the planars to complete the I/O loop.

  • PCI-X I/O planars (#6571) must be attached to the 7040-681 CEC via RIO-2 connections. RIO-2 connections for I/O drawers residing in the 7040-61R primary system rack are made via 1.75 meter RIO-2 cables (#3156). I/O drawers residing in the secondary rack feature connect to the CEC via 2.5 meter RIO-2 cables (#3168). Single-loop connection of two #6571 planars within an I/O drawer utilize a 1.2 meter RIO-2 cable (#3146) between the planars to complete the I/O loop

Disks and Boot Devices

  • Minimum of two internal SCSI hard disks are required per p690 server. It is recommended that these disks be utilized as mirrored boot devices. These disks should be mounted in the first 7040-61D I/O drawer. This configuration provides service personnel the maximum amount of diagnostic information if the system encounters errors in the boot sequence.

  • Boot support is also available from local SCSI, SSA, and Fibre Channel adapters, or from networks via ENET or token-ring adapters. The pSeries 690 does not support booting from FDDI adapters #2741 or #2742 located in 7040-61D I/O drawers.

  • Consideration should also be given to the placement of AIX rootvg volume group in the first I/O drawer. This allows AIX to boot any time other I/O drawers are found offline during boot.

  • If the boot source other than internal disk is configured, the supporting adapter should also be in the first I/O drawer.

  • The p690 incorporates an Early Power Off Warning (EPOW) capability that assists in performing an orderly system shutdown in the event of a sudden power loss. IBM recommends use of the integrated battery backup features or an uninterruptible power system (UPS) to help ensure against loss of data due to power failures.

Rack and Power

  • The 7040-61R rack is a 24-inch rack with an integrated power subsystem to support the pSeries 690 system. It provides 42U of rack space.

  • An expansion rack feature (#8691) is available if additional 24-inch rack space is required. To install the expansion rack feature the side cover of the 7040-61R rack is removed, the expansion rack is connected to the 61R, and the side cover is placed on the exposed side of the feature rack. Power for components in the expansion rack is provided from the bulk power assemblies in the Model 61R rack.

  • Over time, the 7040-61R rack will be utilized in multi-rack clusters. Rack indicators (such as #4651) will be used to identify the racks within the cluster and specify the desired rack in which to place various rack mounted components. When assigning rack indicators, the 7040-61R and it's expansion rack feature #8691 are considered a single rack.

  • All 7040-61R racks and expansion feature racks must have door assemblies installed. The following door assemblies are available:

    • A sculptured black front door with copper accent (#6070) is required for the primary Model 61R rack.

    • A sculptured black front door (#6071) is required for the expansion rack feature, if installed.

    • An acoustic rear door (#6075) is available for the primary rack or the expansion feature rack. This door should be utilized for installations requiring a quieter environment.

    • A slim line rack door (#6074) is available for the primary or expansion rack feature. This door should be utilized for installations where system footprint is the primary consideration.

  • If additional external communication and storage devices are required 7014-T00 or T42 racks should be ordered. There is no limit on the quantity of 7014 racks allowed.

  • The height of the 7040-61R rack (42U) or expansion feature rack may require special handling when shipping by air or when moving under a low doorway.

  • The 7040-61R rack always incorporates two bulk power assemblies for redundancy (#8690). These provide 350V DC power for devices located in the 61R rack and associated expansion rack feature. These bulk power assemblies are mounted in front and rear positions and occupy the top 8U of the rack. To provide optimum system availability these bulk power assemblies should be powered from separate power sources via separate line cords.

  • Bulk power regulators (#6186) interface to the bulk power assemblies to ensure proper power is supplied to the systems components. Bulk power regulators are always installed in pairs in the front and rear bulk power assemblies to provide redundancy. The number of bulk power regulators required is configuration dependent based on the number of processor MCMs and I/O drawers installed.

  • The following table provides the number of bulk power regulators required for servers containing POWER4 1.1 GHz or 1.3 GHz processor MCMs:
          Number of POWER4 Processor MCMs Installed

  • Two Power Controller features (#6187) are required for all pSeries 690 systems, one per bulk power assembly. Each Power Controller provides power connections to support the systems four cooling fans. It also provides three additional connectors which can be utilized to attach DC power converters contained in the CEC. Ten additional connector locations are provided by the Power Distribution Assembly (#6188).

  • Two Power Distribution Assemblies (one per Bulk Power Assembly) are required on each system.

  • Additional Power Distribution Assemblies are added to provide more connections for large system configurations.

    • Four power distribution assemblies are required for configurations implementing one or more 7040-61D I/O drawers in Expansion Rack (#8691).

    • Four power distribution assemblies are required for configurations containing four 7040-61D I/O drawers and four #6189 CEC DC Power Converters.

    • Six power distribution assemblies are required for configurations containing eight 7040-61D I/O drawers and four #6189 CEC DC Power Converters without battery backup features #6200 and #6201 present.

  • Optional Integrated Battery Backup is available, if desired. The battery backup features protect against power line disturbances and provide sufficient power to allow an orderly system shutdown in the event that the power sources fail. The battery backup features each require 2U of space in the primary 7040-61R system rack or in the expansion rack (#8691).

PCI and PCI-X Slots and Adapters

  • System maximum limits for adapters and devices may not provide optimal system performance. These limits are given for connectivity and functionality assurance.

  • Configuration limitations have been established to help ensure appropriate PCI or PCI-X bus loading, adapter addressing, and system and adapter functional characteristics when ordering I/O drawers. These I/O drawer limitations are in addition to individual adapter limitations shown in the feature descriptions section.

Adapters

  • Most PCI and PCI-X adapters for the pSeries 690 system are capable of being hot-plugged. Any PCI adapter supporting a boot device or system console should not be hot-plugged. The SP Switch Attachment Adapter (#8396) can not be hot plugged.

  • The maximum number of a specific PCI or PCI-X adapter allowed per p690 server may be less than the number allowed per I/O drawer multiplied by the maximum number of I/O drawers supported. The maximum "per drawer" adapter information is contained in the 7040-61D I/O drawer sales manual. The following table provides the maximum number of each adapter supported per p690 server and per LPAR within a p690 server:

Clustered Server Environment

  • IBM eServer pSeries and RS/6000 servers may be incorporated into a clustered environment operating under the control of the IBM Parallel Systems Support Programs for AIX (PSSP). Each cluster may contain a maximum of 16 pSeries 670 (7040-671) and pSeries 690 (7040-681) servers. Additional information regarding cluster configuration and scaling is available in the "Scaling Statement" section of the Family 9078+01 IBM eServer Cluster 1600, 9078-160 sales manual.

  • The pSeries 690 can be divided into multiple logical partitions (LPARs). Up to 16 LPARs on a p690 can be configured to function in the clustered server environment. Each LPAR configured as a clustered server is considered as one of the servers that can be incorporated into the overall cluster. A maximum of 48 servers in a cluster may be created using pSeries server LPARs.

  • Clustered server environments always incorporate a control workstation for cluster control. Clustered server environments are available in either switch-attached or non-switch attached implementations.

  • SP Switch2 attached servers utilize one or two SP Switch2 Attachment adapters (#8397) or Switch2 PCI-X Attachment Adapter (#8398) for high speed interconnection to the SP Switch2 mounted in a 9076 frame. This environment does not require a 9076 SP Node in the configuration.

  • SP Switch attached servers utilize the SP Switch Attachment adapter (#8396) for high speed interconnection to the SP Switch mounted in a 9076 frame.

  • The SP Switch (#8396), and Switch2 (#8397) adapters are "double wide" PCI cards and take up the space of two PCI slots. They must be mounted in the optional PCI Blind-Swap Cassette Kit for Double Wide Adapters (#4598).

  • A non-switch attached environment utilizes an Ethernet connection to pass data between the clustered servers. This environment does not require a switch, 9076 Frame, or 9076 SP node in the configuration.

  • The SP Switch2 supports two configurations allowing communications over either one or two switch planes. Two switch plane configurations must incorporate two SP Switch2 Attachment Adapters (#8397) or Switch2 PCI-X Attachment Adapters (#8398) in each attached server. Implementations utilizing a one switch plane configuration are limited to a maximum of one Switch2 Attachment Adapter (#8397) or Switch2 PCI-X Attachment Adapter (#8398) per attached server.

  • Each pSeries 690 clustered server interfaces to the control workstation via Ethernet twisted pair connections. An Ethernet connection to the control workstations is required for each clustered server (or LPAR operating as a clustered server) as well as on the HMC controlling the p690 system. The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II (#4962) should be utilized for this connection for the p690 server. The Ethernet adapters supporting the LPARs and clustered servers are allowed in slots 8, 9, 18, and 19 of the 7040-61D I/O drawer when utilizing the SP Switch2 Attachment Adapter (#8397) or Switch2 PCI-X Attachment Adapter (#8398). It can be installed in slots 1 through 7 or slots 11 through 17 with the SP Switch Attachment Adapter (#8396). The HMC incorporates an Ethernet connection in it's basic configuration which is utilized for this connection.

  • An appropriate length switch cable is required to attach each switch attached server. This cable is ordered as a feature of the 9076 SP.

  • Eight SP Switch Attachment Adapters (#8396) are allowed per 7040-681 server. These adapters are located in the 7040-61D I/O drawers. A maximum of one adapter is allowed per #6563 I/O planar and two adapters per 7040-61D I/O drawer.

  • Thirty-two SP Switch2 Attachment Adapters (#8397) or Switch2 PCI-X Attachment Adapters (#8398) are allowed per 7040-681 server. These adapters are located in the 7040-61D I/O drawers. A maximum of two #8397 adapters is allowed per #6563 PCI I/O planar. A maximum of two #8598 adapters is allowed per #6571 PCI-X I/O planar.

  • Some I/O adapters supported on the 7040-681 servers when utilized in a non-clustered environment are not supported in the clustered server environments and must be removed. Refer to the IBM RS/6000 9076-550 Sales Manual pages for a list of the currently supported adapters. For more information, refer to the document RS/6000 SP Planning, Volume 1, Hardware and Physical Environment, (GA22-7280).

  • Feature #8397 adapters are not allowed with #6571 PCI-X planars. Feature #8398 adapters are not allowed with #6563 PCI planars.

  • Graphics adapters and natively attached displays are not supported in the clustered server environment. An ASCII terminal may be attached to servers in these environments but is not required. System control functions are provided by the SP control workstation.

  • For additional information regarding server clustering and control workstations, visit the IBM PSSP Web site:

    http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/resource/aix_resource/sp_books/

  • The establishment of a trusted network between the control workstation (CWS) and the Hardware Management Console (HMC) is needed to bypass a security vulnerability in Cluster 1600 systems with pSeries 690 or 670 servers. Refer to the PSSP V3.4 Read This First document at the Web site:

    http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/ library/sp_books/pssp.html

AIX 5L for POWER V5.2 Prerequisites

The following are required for using AIX 5L for POWER V5.2 or later:

  • Hardware Management Console for pSeries with V1.3 (also known as HMC Recovery Software Release 3 Version 1.0) or later

  • p670/690 (7040-671/681) system microcode (machine code) at the 11/14/2002 (RH021114) update, or later

IBM eServer Capacity Upgrade on Demand for Processors

  • Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) for processors is available for pSeries 690 (7040-681) servers. CUoD for processors allows inactive processors to be installed in the p690 server which can be permanently activated by the customer as required.

  • A minimum of eight active processors are required on any 7040-681 server implementing CUoD for processors. Each CUoD MCM must have a minimum of four of the eight processors active. This rule does not apply to initial orders that include features #7407, #7408, or #7409, which are 0 of 8-way CUoD processors. Systems with features #7407, #7408, or #7409 must be ordered as 32-way systems with four processors active.

  • The first MCM in a 7040-681 server implementing CUoD for POWER4 1.1 GHz or 1.3 GHz processors must always have eight fully active processors. The second, third, and fourth MCMs may be implemented with CUoD for processors if desired. This rule does not apply to initial orders that include feature #7409 0 of 8-way CUoD processors. Systems with feature #7409 must be ordered as 32-way systems with four processors active.

  • There is no permanent activation available for 0 of 8-way features #7407, #7408, or #7409. Any number of additional 30 day On/Off CoD activations may be ordered as needed.

  • Servers utilizing POWER4+ 1.5 GHz, 1.7 or 1.9 GHz processors may implement CUoD for processors on all installed MCMs if desired.

  • Additional processors on the CUoD MCMs are activated in increments of two by ordering the appropriate activation feature number. If more than two processors are to be activated at the same time the activation code should be ordered multiples.

  • Upon receipt of an order for a CUoD for processors activation code, IBM will provide the customer with a 32-character encrypted key. This key is entered into the system to activate the desired number of additional processors.

  • CUoD processors which have not been activated are available to the 7040-681 server for dynamic processor sparing when running AIX V5.2. If the server detects the impending failure of an active processor it will attempt to activate one of the unused CUoD processors and add it to the system configuration. This helps to keep the server's processing power at full strength until a repair action can be scheduled.

  • The following are required to support CUoD for processors:

    • AIX 5L V5.1 (with AIX 51-003 or higher Recommended Maintenance Package and PTFs U483632 and U483633) or later

    • Hardware Management Console for pSeries with V1.3, or later software

    • p670/690 (7040-671/681) system microcode (machine code) at the 11/14/2002 (RH021114) update, or later

  • AIX 5L V5.2, or later is recommended as it provides enhanced CUoD function.

  • CUoD on servers configured with AIX 5.1 are subject to the following limitations:

    • In SMP mode, activation of standby processors requires a system IPL to enable additional processors.

    • AIX 5.1 LPAR mode activation of standby processors requires a partition IPL to enable additional processors.

    • In mixed AIX 5.1 and 5.2 LPAR mode, activation of standby processors for any partition running AIX 5.1 requires a partition IPL. AIX 5.2 partitions can dynamically allocate additional processors.

  • Dynamic processor sparing is limited to systems and/or partitions which are running AIX 5.2. Systems running only AIX 5.1 provide processor sparing for a failed processor on a system IPL.

IBM eServer On/Off Capacity on Demand for Processors

  • On/Off Capacity on Demand (On/Off CoD) for processors is available for pSeries 690 (7040-681) servers. On/Off CoD for processors allows customers to temporarily activate installed CUoD processors and later deactivate the resources as desired.

  • Customers with installed but inactive CUoD processor resources can order On/Off CoD activation features. Each On/Off CoD activation ordered authorizes activation of two processors for 30 days of usage. These activations may be utilized for 30 consecutive days or turned on and off over a longer period of time if desired.

  • Customers may order multiple On/Off CoD activation codes if desired. These may be utilized to activate multiple two processor increments for the thirty day period or to activate two processors for periods longer than thirty days. The HMC controlling the p690 server will be utilized to set the parameters desired when utilizing multiple On/Off CoD activation codes.

  • Each On/Off CoD (Capacity on Demand) activation feature provides thirty days of usage for two processors on a CUoD (Capacity Upgrade on Demand) processor feature such as #7405. Each activation provides for 60 processor usage days since processors are activated and deactivated in pairs. Each On/Off CoD feature applies to any of the inactive CUoD processors in the system. The following are examples of the usage calculation:
    • A processor day is measured each time a processor is activated in a 24 hour period or any fraction thereof. If four processors are activated for 2 hours of testing or production, the result is four processor usage days.
    • Each time processors are activated starts a new measurement day. If a customer activates four processors for a two hour test and later in the same 24 hour period activates 2 processor for 2 hours to meet a peak workload the result is 6 processor days usage.

Trial Capacity on Demand (Trial CoD)

Trial Capacity on Demand (Trial CoD) is a function delivered with all pSeries servers supporting CUoD resources beginning May 30, 2003. Those servers with standby CUoD processors or memory will be capable of using a one-time, no-cost activation for a maximum period of 30 consecutive days. This enhancement allows for benchmarking of CUoD resources or can be used to provide immediate access to standby resources when the purchase of a permanent activation is pending.

  • Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) for memory is available for pSeries 690 (7040-681) servers. CUoD for processors allows inactive memory to be installed in the p690 server which can be permanently activated by the customer as required.

  • Memory CUoD is not supported on systems with 4-way MCM features #5240 or #5250.

  • CUoD for memory utilizes inward facing and outward facing 567 MHz memory cards in the following capacities:
    • 16 GB total card capacity with 8 GB active
    • 32 GB total card capacity with 16 GB active

  • CUoD for memory cards must always be ordered in identical pairs.

  • Memory configuration rules for the 7040-681 server apply to CUoD for memory cards as well as conventional memory cards. The memory configuration rules are applied based upon the maximum capacity of the memory card.

    • Apply 16 GB configuration rules for 16 GB CUoD for memory cards with less than 16 GB of active memory.

    • Apply 32 GB configuration rules for 32 GB CUoD for memory cards with less than 32 GB of active memory.

  • CUoD for memory may be utilized in any available memory position.

  • Additional memory CUoD memory cards are activated in increments of 4 GB by ordering the appropriate activation feature number. If more than one 4 GB memory increment is to be activated at the same time the activation code should be ordered multiples.

  • Upon receipt of an order for a CUoD for memory activation code, IBM will provide the customer a 32-character encrypted key. This key is entered into the system to activate the desired number of additional 4 GB memory increments.

  • The following are required to support CUoD for memory:

    • AIX V5.2 with 5200-01 Recommended Maintenance package (APAR IY39795), or later. AIX 5.1 is supported only when the system is configured for a single system image. Use of AIX 5.1 requires a system reboot to access activated CoD processor and/or memory resources.

    • Hardware Management Console for pSeries with V1.3.2, or later software

    • p670/690 (7040-671/681) system microcode (machine code) at the 05/2003 level update, or later

Dynamic Logical Partitioning

  • Dynamic logical partitioning (dynamic LPAR) allows system resources to be easily and quickly configured across multiple logical partitions (LPARs) on the p690 server.

  • Dynamic LPAR can be used to add newly activated Capacity Upgrade on Demand processors and memory into the p690 configuration without requiring a system re-boot.

  • The following are required for dynamic LPAR:

    • AIX 5L for POWER V5.2, or later

    • Hardware Management Console for pSeries with V1.3, or later software

    • p670/690 (7040-671/681) system microcode (machine code) at the 11/14/2002 (RH021114) update, or later

pSeries 690 -- Capacity Backup Configuration

CUoD for memory is supported on p690 Capacity BackUp (CBU) systems. This enables the disaster recovery system to permanently grow memory to match memory growth on the production server. It is recommended that the backup system maintain the same amount of active memory as the production system to help ensure the highest level of service in the event of a disaster. CUoD for memory is permanent activation only and is separate and independent from the On/Off CoD for processors on the CBU system.

Software Requirements

  • AIX 5L for POWER V5.1 with the 5100-01 Recommended Maintenance package (APAR IY21957), or later, or AIX 5L V5.2, or later

  • Specific hardware featues may require later levels of AIX 5L to function properly. See the individtual featue descriptions for specific AIX 5L requirements.

The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II is a small form factor, single port PCI ethernet adapter. This high performance, low power ethernet 10/100Mbps LAN adapter can be used in both client and server PCI systems. The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II provides both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX full duplex ethernet LAN connectivity. The adapter supports Category-5 unshielded twisted pair cabling for both 10/100 Mbps and Category-3 unshielded twisted pair cabling for 10 Mbps. The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II supports:

  • Half / Full-Duplex 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface
  • 10/100 Mbps data rates
  • Auto-negotiation for 10/100 speed and half/full-duplex
  • Network boot capability and Network Install Manager (NIM)
  • IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Specification
  • IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet Specification

After 4/26/02, the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II supports the off-load of IP Security cryptographic algorithms by providing hardware assistance in performing data encryption and authentication. This support is provided with AIX 5.1 (with appropriate software updates)and later software. This IP Security function, normally performed with encryption software by the host, is off-loaded to this adapter to enhance network traffic throughput and reduce CPU utilization. If you are running with AIX 5.1, to invoke the IP Security function on the adapter, you must obtain AIX 5.1 software updates IY27069 and IY26514 or the 5100-02 Recommended Maintenance package. These updates can be obtained by ordering APAR IY28102, or by ordering the AIX 5.1 Update CD (LCD4-1103-03) dated 4/2002 or later.

Note: This IP Security function is not supported with AIX 4.3 software.

A maximum of one #4962 adapter is allowed per #7316 HMC.

An additional function called 'Large Send' or sometimes known as TCP Segmentation is also available. This function offloads the TCP segmentation operation from the AIX IP layer to the adapter for outgoing (transmit side) TCP segments. Another function known as "Checksum Offload" which offloads the TCP/UDP Checksum Operation or workload from the CPU to the adapter is also available. Both of these functions are available with AIX version 5.1 with APAR IY38248 or later software, or AIX version 5.2 with APAR IY38492 or later software.
