IBM eServer iSeries


When the concept of e-business emerged in the mid-1990s, it was clear that the global economy was on the verge of an enduring, technology-led business revolution. Companies progress in adopting e-business can be categorized into three phases: early e-business adoption, integrating e-business and e-business on demand.

Phases of e-business Adoption

The ‘Access’ phase of e-business adoption is characterized by simple strategies such as publishing product information to the Internet and the first steps toward Web-based transactions. The second, ‘Enterprise Integration’ phase of e-business adoption is marked by strategies to link internal processes end-to-end and by companies connecting across the Web to their external value nets. Companies at this stage focus on integrated their core business and e-business applications. In the ‘e-business of demand’ phase of e-business adoption, companies are driven by the need to optimize their e-business operations, so they can dynamically respond to the needs of customers, partners and employees. Companies that were used to predictable IT upgrade growth strategies now require more flexible server options with new capacity available immediately to enable them to respond to unpredictable demand.

In studies of e-business adoption rates in 33,000 customers worldwide, IBM estimates that 65% of companies are still in the early phases of e-business deployment, 28% have made significant progress in the integration phase and many of those companies are moving towards e-business on demand.

On Demand Businesses

An on demand business can be defined as an enterprise whose business processes – integrated end-to-end across the company and with key partners, suppliers and customers – can respond with flexibility and speed to any customer demand, market opportunity or external threat. Responsive: able to sense and respond to dynamic, unpredictable changes in demand, supply and the needs of customers, partners and employees. Variable: use variable costs structures to adapt to processes flexibly, enabling risk reduction while doing business at high levels of productivity, cost control and financial predictability. Focused: on its core competencies and assets while tightly integrated strategic partners manage selected tasks, from HR to manufacturing and logistics. Resilient: manage changes and threats – from computer viruses to earthquakes - with consistent availability and security.

iSeries and the on demand operating environment

Four technology strategies define how companies will optimize their infrastructure in the on demand era: integration; virtualization; open standards and autonomic computing, together these define the an demand operating environment. Based on these strategies, iSeries is uniquely positioned to play a leadership role in the development of technology solutions for the on demand era. Through its on demand operating environment implementation, the next generation iSeries delivers simplicity in an on demand world.

Notes: The next generation iSeries ...

Integration

Core business applications linked with new Web based applications and transactions

High requirements from service delivery

iSeries personality delivers:Integration of base and advanced componentsSupport for multiple Operating Systems and their applications

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: IntegrationIntegration goes far beyond connecting disparate computing assets so they can share information. The on demand computing environment must enable the integration of core business processes and systems so that business itself can flow inside and across enterprises.

It requires the integration of vast amounts of data and of existing core business applications spread throughout a company with new web applications and transactions. For larger companies it requires transaction and database processing of the highest order and even for small companies it requires a complex choreography of customer order and financial data, supplier information and engineering designs. The very nature of these transactions demand data integrity and security, end to end – whether one end is in the hands of a supplier, a distributor or on a PDA and the other in the hands of a consumer.

Integration on this scale calls for nothing less than a new software infrastructure, emerging today in the form of web services and new development tools. Applications have to integrate horizontally with other applications via middleware that spans multiple servers and operating environments.

WebSphere Application Server plays a key role in this new software infrastructure with more than 9,000 software companies and 1.5 million programmers using it to deliver a wide variety of tasks from creating dynamic workplaces for employees, as a base for e-commerce transactions and for webfacing valued core business applications.

iSeries and Integration

With OS/400, IBM pioneered integration design concepts, combining and pre-testing database, workload management, storage and security technologies into a highly robust, easy-to-use operating environment for business applications. The integration challenge of the on demand era, however, is how to manage complex technology ‘seams’ between heterogeneous operating systems, middleware and application components. iSeries incorporation of Windows and Linux (as well as AIX in the future) has enabled it to extend the concepts and boundaries of integration beyond a single server and operating system to multiple operating environments, on demand.

Virtualization

Promote legacy applications into new infrastructure

Enhanced resource sharing for multiple platforms

Transparently adapt to capacity and throughput requirements

IBM eServer iSeries


‘Virtualization’ has been around since the earliest days of business computing. Mainframes saw the development of virtual memory, virtual storage and virtual processors. This enabled the computer to do many processing jobs simultaneously. With mainframe class computing, businesses were able to get more use out of an expensive and powerful asset. Then IBM designed a system designed for small to medium sized businesses based on ‘virtualization’: the System/38 the predecessor to the AS/400 and iSeries. At their core, these servers share the same virtualization architecture – with virtual storage, virtual memory and virtual processors - that separates users and their applications from underlying technology.

Virtualization has promoted two key advantages for today’s on demand businesses. First, virtualization has promoted the ability to bring forward existing (sometimes called legacy) applications without constantly rewriting and compiling applications that is the all too common fate for applications written for systems without a virtual architecture. It is common on iSeries, however, for customers to still be running applications they value on today’s 64 bit technology without recompilation that they might have originally deployed on the 48 bit System/38.

Second, virtualization promotes resource sharing and, thereby, raising asset utilization rates. It is not unusual to see iSeries servers running at over 60% utilization, while Unix servers are actually ‘serving’ something less than 10% of the time. And most PCs are doing nothing for 95% of a typical day. (Source: IBM Scorpion Study White Paper: Simplifying the Corporate IT Infrastructure, Dec 2002). Virtualization helps drive up utilization rates by promoting utility centric resource management, or the ability to dynamically provision server, storage and application resources according to users’ changing demand and priorities. Under this paradigm, a server has to be flexible, both to changing performance and capacity needs of applications within a single operating system image, but also between multiple images of a variety of operating systems.

Taking iSeries’ Virtualization into the On Demand Era

iSeries’ integrated virtualization of system resources and its dynamic workload subsystem management is the first essential building block towards the goal of utility centric services. Next, OS/400’s support for fully dynamic logical partitioning has given customers the ability to divide a single processor into multiple partitions, making possible multiple ‘virtual blades’ or images of Linux or OS/400. With the option to place Intel-based blades inside iSeries or attach scalable xSeries servers, iSeries utility management services also extends to Windows-based workloads.

For many companies, however, enablement of reserve capacity ‘on demand’ is the gold standard for dynamic provisioning. With capacity on demand (permanent and/or temporary) a standard feature on the i825, i870 and i890, iSeries has a key role in IBM’s leadership in utility centric services.

IBM eServer iSeries


Open Standards

Cornerstone for Integration of applications and business processes

iSeries leads in many areas of implementing Open Standards

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Open StandardsThere are really two choices: Either everyone uses the same technology, or all technologies can connect and integrate. When IT was confined to its own silo or did not extend beyond the walls of the enterprise, a technology architecture provided and controlled by one company could prevail. But this is no longer realistic. Customers have made enormous investments in existing data, applications and transactions systems, and their businesses depend on the infrastructure that they already have in place. Rip and replace is not a viable option.

Without open standards, internal integration would remain a gargantuan task, but even more daunting is the task of integration with other enterprises, other business processes and applications. Open technical interfaces and agreed upon standards are the only realistic way all this can connect. The good news is that ever since the world embraced Internet protocols, open standards have been gaining widespread adoption – from Java and XML to Web services and the emerging Open Grid Services Architecture. There’s no better example of an open source success story than Linux, which is rapidly moving into mainstream business throughout the world.

Many of the emerging standards define Web Services or self-contained business functions that operate over the Internet and are written to specifications to work together. Web Services Architecture is a standardized approach to dynamic component connectivity and interoperability that relies on self-describing components and open connectivity standards including IP (Internet Protocol), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and WSDL (Web Services Description Language). The Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) specification defines a process for locating service providers and retrieving service description documents, and is a key component of the overall Web services model.

iSeries and Open Standards

Built on an architecture that has proven its versatility in successive generations of computing, iSeries has successfully incorporated e-business technologies from a wide variety of open technology sources and operating environments. In short, the iSeries has transformed from its proprietary heritage to be a leader in commitment and implementation of open standards such as Java, SQL, XML and Linux. iSeries commitment to open source standards is exemplified by its Linux implementation winning Best of Show at LinuxWorld in August 2001. Open source initiatives such as JTOpen, a collection of Java classes, enable iSeries commitment to open standards to extend to a wide range of ISV solutions. iSeries was the first server in the industry to adopt the Apache HTTP server Version 2 and today is a leader in scalable Apache-powered Web-serving. iSeries commitment to Web services standards and Java is underlined by its integration of WebSphere Application Server for deployment of e-business solutions.

Autonomic Computing

Reduction of complexity

Increased availability for service delivery

IBM eServer iSeries


Complexity is the number one headache of CIOs. And that’s just the complexity of conventional systems within the enterprise. Now think about the on demand era, with its ubiquitous integration of business processes, entities, applications and billions of devices. Complex systems rapidly have become too complex for humans to manage effectively – or to configure, secure, optimize or repair. The solution? Technology that manages itself – similar to the human nervous system. Self managed systems have four defining characteristics: self configuring, self-healing, self optimizing and self protecting.

Self-configuringThe seamless integration of new hardware resources and the cooperative yielding of resources by the operating system is an important element of self-configuring systems. Hardware subsystems and resources can configure and reconfigure autonomously both at boot time and during run time. This action may be initiated by the need to adjust the allocation of resources based on the current optimization criteria or in response to hardware or firmware faults. Self-configuring also includes the ability to concurrently add or remove hardware resources in response to commands from administrators, service personnel, or hardware resource management software.

Self-healingWith self-healing capabilities, platforms can detect hardware and firmware faults instantly and then contain the effects of the faults within defined boundaries. This allows platforms to recover from the negative effects of such faults with minimal or no impact on the execution of operating system and user-level workloads.

Self-optimizingSelf-optimizing capabilities allow computing systems to autonomously measure the performance or usage of resources and then tune the configuration of hardware resources to deliver improved performance.

Self-protectingThis allows computing systems to help protect against internal and external threats to the integrity and privacy of applications and data.

iSeries and Autonomic Computing

Many of the foundation technologies encompassed by autonomic computing manifest themselves in iSeries. In fact, OS/400 is built on architectural foundations that encompass autonomic concepts such as its self-optimizing disk management. OS/400 pioneered revolutionary self-healing autonomic technologies, such as the ability to automatically dial-up for service in anticipation of a failure.

Notes: Autonomic Computing

IBM eServer iSeries


V5R2 continues to build on many of the autonomic computing initiative elements that were available with V5R1 such as, such as self-optimizing dynamic LPAR and workload management, self-configuring graphical wizards, self-healing performance and message monitors (enabling automated actions), and self-protecting digital certificates. Extensive additional graphical wizards have been added with V5R2 to the iSeries Navigator to automate several complex configuration tasks along with increased flexibility to monitor and manage storage, jobs, and database tasks.

Some of the highlights for V5R2 include:

Self-protecting Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) for easing user identity management. EIM is an IBM autonomic computing security initiative, introduced first on iSeries and is set to address the challenge of managing user identities and passwords in heterogeneous enterprise networks.

Self-protecting Digital certificate APIs for ISV applications to assist with unauthorized application modifications

Self-optimizing dynamic LPAR to allow resource movement for virtual processing units between Linux and OS/400 partitions

Self-optimizing index advisor and statistic collections for DB2 UDB for OS/400, allowing users to avoid manual tasks associated with SQL optimization

Self-healing Independent disk pools for switched disk clustering

Self-healing Agent Building Learning Environment (ABLE) enablement through building intelligent agents on the iSeries to assist with problem determination and diagnosis processes. The ABLE research project is made available by the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. For additional information, see: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/able

Extensive self-configuring graphical wizards to simplify network, performance, security, storage, work management and LPAR configuration tasks.

Note: Autonomic Computing reflects a vision to develop and deploy intelligent systems that self manage and regulate themselves, much the way the human autonomic nervous system manages the human body. This vision is motivated by the tremendous complexity in today’s computing environments and the resultant difficulties, and expense, of managing them. The biological metaphor suggest a systemic approach, coordinating activity across the many components of computing systems, achieving a much higher level of automation. For a complete discussion of the autonomic computing direction see the Autonomic Computing Manifesto (http://www.research.ibm.com/autonomic/manifesto/)

IT Budget Trend

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Cost ElementsIT spending can typically be divided into different categories which will together provide the total budget for sustaining service delivery for any enterprise business. This foil gives an idea on how one could divide the cost elements into different categories, and tries to make a division between:

Initial cost elements, which are typically spent on acquisition of hardware, software or application components. Key in this acquisition is the additional cost for testing the cooperation and coexistence of these components, specifically the software or hardware dependencies between the various releases of all components; the choice that is made for a specific platform will determine how much integration testing will be required before the solution can be implemented.Recurring cost elements, which are typically linked to the process of service delivery. These are comprised of service rendering enablers (physical location, power consumption, cooling, network bandwidth, etc.), service management functions (change, configuration, operations, performance and problem management) and of costs for licenses and maintenance of hardware and software (system and application components).The costs in this area will be highly influenced by the headcount that is required for managing service delivery.Investment cost elements, which are spend for adoption of or migration to new technology.

This foil also shows the current trend of the IT budget:Hardware costs are becoming lower and lower. Note however that the storage cost becomes the dominant part in this element.Software costs are becoming static or slightly rising, due to the adoption of a high number of standards; this however provokes a rising cost for integration testing and validation.Network costs are static or rising, due to the integration of business processes in the solution.Headcount cost becomes the dominating factor. Not only are salaries constantly rising, the IT complexity and platform diversity requires a constant skills update despite consolidation efforts.

Several tactics can be used to achieve IT cost reduction and to enhance business efficiencies;Reduce support costs associated with duplicate, unused or obsolete technology by architecting technology transitions.Reduce aggregate systems integration costs by architecting efficient, flexible, reusable enterprise solutions, thus reducing the risk and generating sustained improvement during service delivery time.Optimize productivity of valuable IT staff and resources by using enterprise program management and enterprise architecture to focus resources on the most business-effective project portfolio mix.Reduce vendor costs by allowing for preselection and pre-negotiation of technologies and resources.Prevent project cost overruns, consolidate or eliminate redundant and overlapping projects, and ensure the organization is working on the right initiatives at the right time through the use of effective program and project management techniques.

eServer POWER Processor Roadmap

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: IBM ^ POWER Processor RoadmapBefore discussing the new iSeries capabilities available with the January 2003 announcements, let us reflect on where we are on IBM's single roadmap for the POWER4J processor for deployment in both iSeries and pSeries products lines.

Using the POWER4 processor family, iSeries has consistently delivered highly scalable 64-bit processors with exceptional performance to support the growth of our largest customers.

In fact, the POWER4 is the 8th generation of 64-bit processors brought to market by IBM on the AS/400 and iSeries since 1995.

The AS/400e and iSeries processors used in the 250 (Northstar), 270 (IStar and SStar), 820 (IStar and SStar), 830 (IStar) and 840 (IStar and SStar) continue to be available for specific price performance requirement such as would be satisfied by the 250 and specific Interactive Feature (5250 applications) requirements available in the 270, 820, 830, and 840 servers. They also support both OS/400 V5R2 and V5R1.

This foil also clearly illustrates that our Processor Roadmap is heavily capitalizing on the continuous investment in new technologies that will be delivered in new servers in the years to come. The technology that will be used in there is based on proven implementations and leverages the substantial investment done in new technologies.

The next set of foils discuss the January 2003 announcements.

And it offers these growth capabilities at a modestly larger price than the 950 CPW Model 800. A lot of customers currently considering the large Model 800 will want to buy up to the Model 810.

Note that the 1020 CPW Standard Edition is only $1000 more than the 750 CPW Standard Edition. We recommend most customers looking at this point invest an extra 9% of the CEC price (smaller % overall server price) and get a 33% CPW boost.

The entry Model 810 will start shipping May 23. eConfig support and AAS orderability start May 13.

Notes: i810The i810 is geared for the small to medium-size businesses that not only need the power and capacity to run traditional multiple core business applications, but also need the freedom and scalability to add new e-business technologies. It is ideal for helping to reduce the complexity and costs that often come with managing server farms and with growth paths within the model, you can start small, and grow as your needs grow.

As of May 2003, the i810 has four performance points (750, 1020, 1470 with 1-way and 2700 CPW with a 2-way), specially tailored for small to medium enterprises. It is capable to run e-business workloads along with multiple operating environments such as Linux, OS/400 and Windows Integrated through the Integrated xSeries Server or the Integrated xSeries Adapter offerings. Maximum I/O configuration limits (such as IXA/IXS, disk storage and memory) are also considerably higher for the i810 when compared to its equivalent configurations with i270 and i820.

A newly ordered 810-2465 (750 CPW) will arrive with the appropriate level of microcode and cumulative PTF package. When upgrading to the 810-2465 for example, from an 820-2395, 820-2435, 720-2061, or 7620-2062, the 810-2465 requires the February resave level RSB (#2691) and the GA+5 CUM (C3161520) targeted to be available June 16, 2003.

The Info APAR II13365 is being updated to reflect this and will be available on announce 5/13.

Notes: Comparing i810 with Model 270 and 820Here is a CEC companion of the 270, new i810 and 820 models. Focusing on the CEC comparison starting with the 370 CPW Model 820 with 70 5250 CPW that we offered in 2002 on the right. In the middle we include the entry Model 810-2465 announced in May 2003. As you can see, the comparison is very favorable for the new Model 810. 2x more CPW, 10x more 5250 CPW, lower software tier, lower price. And as the Model 820 5250 CPW value grows, the comparison becomes better and better for the Model 810.

IBM eServer iSeries


e-business is driving change at an unprecedented pace and a server must be able to adapt at the same rate. iSeries has exceptional flexibility to adjust dynamically to your business priorities. With temporary capacity on demand, you can turn processors on when you need them – turn them off when you don't. You pay only for what you activate, and not a penny more.

iSeries now offers capacity on demand (permanent and/or temporary) activations for i825, i870 and i890, which are equipped with standby processors when shipped. The user interface to enable this support and view in-progress statistics is through the Service Tools interface, so you need a Service Tools server user id and password, as was introduced with V5R1.

The permanent activation option of Capacity Upgrade on Demand enables a customer to activate standby processors permanently without restarting the iSeries. Customers planning to permanently activate processors order a activation code from IBM that is placed on a secure website. The permanent capacity is available as soon as the activation code is applied.

Once a customer has ordered the ability to use On/Off CoD (temporary) and an enablement feature, then available standby capacity can be requested in units of one processor day and activated or deactivated dynamically without restarting the system or applications.

Temporary capacity is designed for customers who want to use capacity to match business peaks, turning reserve processor capacity on when needed, turning it back off when no longer required. Temporary capacity is requested in units of Processor Days, and up to 14 bonus processor day entitlement (not charged in the billing) this included with a purchase of an On/Off CoD capable server. You can elect to use these bonus processor days during business peaks or when trying out new workloads. For example, if you have 7 standby processors, you can either use all 7 processors for 2 days (48 hrs), or one at a time for 14 processor days, or in several separate activations and deactivations. These "bonus processor days" are included in the maximum of up to 192 temporary activation processor days. that is, if used 192 processor days, you would be billed for 178 activation days. After activating a processor the billing period starts. You must immediately assign them to the system or an available partition in an LPAR configuration to productively use the activated processors.

You can use either the Service Tools interface or iSeries Navigator LPAR interfaces to assign the activated processors to the appropriate partition.

The system has a On/Off CoD (temporary) counter that provides logged statistics based on processor days you activated. You can use the Start Service Tools (SST) interface to view the logged statistics to see the status of your activation. You can use temporary activation is several separated activations, up to a total of 192 processor days. When 192 processor days have expired, you have to contact your IBM or business partner representative to request additional temporary capacity in units of 192 days. You receive a new enablement key to reactivate 192 processor days. Each reenablement resets the maximum to 192 processor days and the 14 bonus days.

The notes in a following foil on temporary activation, give an example of a sequence of temporary activations. The pay after activation and Prepaid Feature option, announced May 13, 2003, are consistent with capacity on demand options on all eservers as they evolve.

IBM eServer iSeries


In January 2003 we announced a number of changes/enhancements to the existing on demand capabilities of the 830, 840 and then current 890. We altered slightly the way permanent capacity know as Capacity Upgrade on Demand worked for long-term business growth. And we introduced a new concept called On/Off Capacity on Demand to provide temporary capacity for business peaks. The new On/Off Capacity on Demand capability has received great reviews from customers and press.

May's announcement provides additional flexibility for how a customer can pay for the processor days they use. In January we announced how a customer would pay for the processor days at the end of the quarter after they used them. There's no change here. This remains an excellent option. We'll still do business this way using TCoD Billing Features.

What is new is a second payment option for processor days. This is an eserver initiative for which the iSeries platform is the first to implement. This new option is called On/Off Capacity on Demand Prepaid Feature. If a customer wants to purchase a block of 30 processor days in advance of their use at a 25% discount, they can now do so. Some customers will want to do this because they may have extra budget dollars in a specific quarter. Others will want to do this because it saves 25%.

Administratively an On/Off Capacity on Demand Prepaid Feature is ordered and 30 processor days are credited to that customer's On/Off Capacity on Demand account for that specific server. These credited processor days are applied at the end of the quarter. If more processor days are used than there are credited processor days, the customer will be using the TCoD Billing Features announced in January to cover the difference. If there are fewer processor days than credited processor days, the unused credit days remaining at the end of the quarter will "roll over" and can be used in following quarters.

A customer can see the processor days they have used any time they wish using an OS/400 command on their server. The customer reports their usage of processor days at least once per month to IBM.

When a customer evaluates permanent vs temporary capacity, prepaid features alter the breakeven point with its 25% list price discount, making temporary capacity an even better financial move. With just the TCoD Billing Feature, the approximate break even point between permanent and temporary was 45 days. (This breakeven point assumes OS/400 is needed on the permanently activated processor and assumes the customer only temporarily activates one processor at a time.) With the Prepaid Billing Feature, the approximate break even point is a larger number of days.

Like the TCoD Billing Feature, the prepaid feature is ordered as a hardware MES by the sales channel. The prepaid processor days are "credit days" maintained in records kept by IBM and reported quarterly to the customer and sales channel. Prepaid days are associated with a specific type/serial number server and can not be transferred to another machine. If a customer sells their iSeries server to another customer (in a different enterprise number) prepaid days are not transferable.

Notes: On/Off CoD - Temporary Capacity RequestThese screens show some of the interfaces in Service Tools and from iSeries Navigator which are used to enable and assign processors to a partition. Even if the system does not use Logical Partitioning, you will still have to assign activated processors to the single partition that exists on the server.

Activations are done based on the number of processors and the number of days you need the extra capacity; the CoD temporary capacity ("TCoD") counter provides statistics based on the multiplication of processors times the number of days. Before you can activate any processor, you need to order an enablement feature, orderable via the web, that will provide you a key that gives you the capability to use up to 192 units of the TCOD counter; when these have expired, a new key has to be ordered.

Once a number or processor days has been activated and these processors have been assigned to a partition, they will remain active until you remove them from the partition configuration and deactivate them. The Service Tools interface allows you to view and print the activation requests.

Information about your requests for temporary capacity must be reported to IBM (minimum of once per month per On/Off CoD Contract). This can be done via fax, e-mail or via the Electronic Service Agent (part of Management Central). Billing is done on a quarterly basis.

Example

You can enable the temporary capacity in several "one at a time sequences." For example, with the first enablement you enable 3 processors for 3 days (24 hours times 3). At the end of 3 days you have consumed 9 processor days of your 14 bonus days (no charge) and 9 processor days of your total 192 temporary capacity days. If you do not end the temporary activation, the 3 processors continue to be active and billing past the original activation of "9 processor days" will continue until you specifically end the activation.

Using our 9 processor days example, assume during processor day 7 you think you need 1 additional processor for 2 days. This now means you need 4 processors activated. To accomplish this you must deactivate your current activation and re enter the total processors (4) and activation days (2), So your billing is essentially 3 processors times 7 days plus 4 processors for 2 days.

Note: The permanent or temporary activation terminology is subject to change which could affect the words used on the permanent and temporary descriptive texts used on screens we have captured here. At the time this presentation was published screen captures showed the "then current" text on system screens.

Note: The "breakeven" dollar amount between permanent activation and temporary activations is approximately 45 processor days. That is IBM adds together the price of a permanent processor activation with the price of an OS/400 processor license and then divides the total by 45.

This determines the price for a single processor day of temporary capacity.

Notes: On/Off CoD - Temporary Capacity Request - 2Important notes on implementation

Counting a processor dayScenario 1 : When a request for temporary capacity is made (once the confirmation screen is pressed), a request is considered "started". Once the request is started, at the beginning of each day (24 hour period) a processor is available for use, the server will record one Requested Processor Day. This means, for example, if you enable temporary capacity at 23:00 on Wednesday, the activated day count will become 2 at 23:01 on Thursday.Scenario 2 : A request for temporary capacity can be stopped at any time, when the request is stopped, the server recorded information will be adjusted to reflect the appropriate number of Requested Processor Days (number of processors multiplied times the number of days that the temporary capacity was actually available for use). If a request for temporary capacity is stopped anytime before a full (24 hour period) day has expired, the server will have recorded a Requested Processor Day for each processor that was specified on the request and made available for use per the previous paragraph. Note: Each time a request is started for a processor, a Requested Processor Day is recorded. If the request is stopped and a new request is then started within the same 24 hour period, the result will be the recording of an additional Processor Day.Scenario 3: If processors remain available for use beyond the number of days specified on a request for temporary capacity, the server will record Un-Returned Processor Days. One Un-Returned Processor Day will be recorded for each processor that is still available for use (customer has not removed the processors from the assigned partitions and made them available to be reclaimed by the server) at the expiration of the request . An additional Un-Returned Processor Day will be recorded for each processor that is still available for use at the beginning of each subsequent 24 hour period.Note: Multiple warning messages will be provided on the server alerting the customer to the pending expiration of a request for temporary capacity.

What happens when a requested processor days activation expiresScenario 1: If you make the temporary capacity available to be reclaimed before the request expire, then the request will expire and be removed from the WORK WITH TEMPORARY SYSTEM CAPACITY Screen.Scenario 2: If you do not make the temporary capacity available to be reclaimed before the request expires, then the request will expire and be removed from the WORK WITH TEMPORARY SYSTEM CAPACITY Screen. WARNING: The server will treat the temporary capacity that is still assigned to partitions as Un-Returned Processor Days (you will be charged for Un- Returned Processor Days at the same rate you would have been charged for Requested Processor Days).

Bonus and Complementary DaysBonus Days: Fourteen processor days will be automatically "credited" to a customer's machine records the first time a TCOD Enablement Code is applied to the server. If and when the machine is upgraded (processor feature is changed), and a new TCOD Enablement Code is applied to the server, the number of credit days will be set to 14.Complementary Days: Complementary Processor Days can, at IBM's option , be manually "credited" to a customer's machine records for special purposes (e. g.. customer incentive to "try" new workloads), an e- mail from the IBM Geography pricer approving such action must be forwarded to the TCOD Administrator at tcodadmin@ us. ibm. com.Bonus or complementary Processor Days credited to a customer's machine records will reduce the number of "billable" Processor Days

CPW is an internal iSeries benchmark used as a relative measure of performance among iSeries processors. CIW (Compute Intensive Workload) is another internal iSeries benchmark that is significantly more CPU intensive than the CPW benchmark. Performance in customer environments may vary. The values are measured on maximum configurations. If you have a CPU intensive application environment consider using the relative CIW rating rather than CPW rating among iSeries processors to size the server for acceptable performance.

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Power ConsiderationsThe iSeries Model 800, i810 and expansions #7116, #0595 and #5095 are equipped with an autotransformer and automatically adapt to 110-127 Volt or 220-240 Volt input voltages. For the i825, and expansions #0588, #5088, #5094, #5294, #8094, and #9094 input voltages in the 220-240 Volt range are required.

The i870 and i890 both function normally with a nominal input voltage in the range of 200-480 V, AC, three phase. Order the power cord feature that applies to the power source used.

Rated current for the i870 and the i890 per phase:For 200-240 Vac : 45 AmpsFor 380-415 Vac : 25 AmpsFor 480 Vac : 20 Amps

Dual Line cords can be used for protection against a single phase failures. Some iSeries hardware has dual line cords by default, other hardware requires the dual line cord feature to be ordered. When using dual line cord features to protect the configuration against a certain type of failure, make sure that all components have this feature the order and the power distribution is wired according to your needs. Marking the receptacles in a self-explainable way can be very useful.

When using a #0551 standard rack with a configuration using dual line cords as a protective vehicle, make sure that the rack itself is wired accordingly. Make sure that (depending of the number of units to be installed in the rack ) 2 or 4 Power Distribution Units (PDUs) are ordered. The Power Distribution Units can then be connected to the power receptacles just as for other expansions or units with the dual line cord feature. The dual line cord units mounted in the rack can then be connected to the Power Distribution Units in such a way that their protection is likewise assured.

To protect your critical equipment against various types of power failures, it is strongly advice to use a UPS. Most common failures such as power loss can be caused by a number of events such as a lightning strike, over demands, accidents and natural disasters. Protection against other but also very common malfunctions such as power sags and surges, noise, frequency variations and harmonic distortion can be assured by using a UPS too. Selecting the UPS that is right for your environment is a critical part of the planning cycle.

Notes: #2757 PCI-X Ultra RAID Disk ControllerThe DASD controller plays an important role in determining the I/O busy time for a given process. Each time am I/O request has to be staged to online storage, the DASD controller is one of the prime vehicles to provide the components and the code to provide persistence of the data between main storage and online storage. The key elements that reduce the time spent for this operation are:

Bandwidth : the new 2757 controller has a up to 8 times larger bandwidth on the PCI bus compared to 2778/4778 controller, meaning that transfer of large blocks or transfer of multiple small blocks will improve its speed considerably.

Processing capacity : the use of a Power PC processor, running at 500 MHz and 256K of L2 cache allows faster execution (6.25 times) of all storage transfer commands, including the parity checking and data scrubbing.

Cache memory : the performance of I/O commands can greatly benefit from staging data into temporary RAM, especially if the memory has enough capacity to store large segments. Using data compression, the store write buffers in cache memory can support up to 757 MB. In comparison, the 2778/4778 controller supported up to 104 MB of compressed write cache.

Number of SCSI buses : the 2757 supports 4 SCSI buses, which allows to better distribute the disk units over the controller, thus optimizing the data flow.

Renewed RAID-5 Technology:

A minimum of three disk units of the same capacity are needed for a valid RAID-5 configuration. A maximum of six arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of 18 disk units allowed per array. All disk units in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across either 2, 4, 8 or 16 disk units in an array. If an array of 3 disk units is started, parity is spread across 2 disk units. If an array of 4-7 disk units is started, parity is spread across 4 disk units. If an array of 8-15 disk units is started, parity is spread across 8 disk units If an array of 16-18 disk units is started, parity is spread across 16 disk units. The number of arrays and size of each array can be influenced by specifying an optimization of either "Balance", "Performance" or "Capacity" in Operations Navigator when starting arrays. An optimization of "Balance" will be used by default when starting arrays from the green screens. If disk units are included into an existing array, parity may be spread across less than the preferred number of disk units. In this case, the RAID function must be stopped and then started in order to redistribute the parity.

RAID Options:

Starting RAID-5 from a green screen will result in the creation of a "balanced" type of parity spreading across the disk units.

Optimization options selectable from iSeries Navigator when starting RAID-5:Capacity: A parity set optimized for capacity stores the most data possible. The I/O adapter may generate fewer parity sets with more disk units in each parity set. For example, if an I/O adapter has 15 disk units and is optimized for capacity, the result could be one parity set containing 15 disk units.Balanced: A balanced parity set compromises between the ability to store large amounts of data and also provide fast access to data. For example, if an I/O adapter has 15 disk units and you choose balanced parity optimization, the result could be two parity sets, one with nine disk units and one with six disk units.Performance: Parity sets optimized for performance provide the fastest data access. The I/O adapter may generate more parity sets with fewer numbers of disk units. For example, if an I/O adapter had 15 disk units and is optimized for performance, the result could be three parity sets with five disk units each.

This foil summarizes the internal implementation details that all go together to make the 2757 have increased maximum performance capacities.

For example, SCSI bus tagged command queuing means the system microcode can send a second and third command to the controller without waiting for a signal that the first command has been completed. In a very heavy disk I/O environment this can result in improved performance compared to using the 2778/4778 disk controller.

RAID-5 Rules for the new disk unit adapters #2757 and #2782

A minimum of three disk units of the same capacity are needed for a valid RAID-5 configuration. A maximum of six arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of 18 disk units allowed per array. All disk units in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across either 2, 4, 8 or 16 disk units in an array. If an array of 3 disk units is started, parity is spread across 2 disk units. If an array of 4-7 disk units is started, parity is spread across 4 disk units. If an array of 8-15 disk units is started, parity is spread across 8 disk units If an array of 16-18 disk units is started, parity is spread across 16 disk units. The number of arrays and size of each array can be influenced by specifying an optimization of either "Balance", "Performance" or "Capacity" in iSeries/Operations Navigator when starting arrays. An optimization of "Balance" will be used by default when starting arrays from the green screens. If disk units are included into an existing array, parity may be spread across less than the preferred number of disk units. In this case, the RAID function must be stopped and then started in order to redistribute the parity.

RAID Options for the new disk unit adapters #2757 and #2782

Starting RAID-5 from a green screen will result in the creation of a "balanced" type of parity spreading across the disk units.

Optimization options selectable from iSeries Navigator when starting RAID-5 on disk units under a #2757 or #2782:

Capacity : A parity set optimized for capacity stores the most data possible. The I/O adapter may generate fewer parity sets with more disk units in each parity set. For example, if an I/O adapter has 15 disk units and is optimized for capacity, the result could be one parity set containing 15 disk units.

Balanced : A balanced parity set compromises between the ability to store large amounts of data and also provide fast access to data. For example, if an I/O adapter has 15 disk units and you choose balanced parity optimization, the result could be two parity sets, one with nine disk units and one with six disk units.

Performance : Parity sets optimized for performance provide the fastest data access. The I/O adapter may generate more parity sets with fewer numbers of disk units. For example, if an I/O adapter had 15 disk units and is optimized for performance, the result could be three parity sets with five disk units each.

Notes: DASD PerformanceThis foil compares the existing 2778/4778 disk controller with the new 2844 IOP, 2757 disk controller and combinations of 10K RPM and 15K RPM disks, along with the I/O towers in which they can be attached. The best performance results were conducted with one 2757 attached to the 2844 in this foil.

When combining the new Input Output Processor (IOP) #2844 and new 2757 with the new 15K RPM disk drives, you can achieve a global gain of performance up to three when running an identical workload, such as CPW, on a given configuration. These results reflect a simulated workload on a 8xx-xxxx with xx GB of main storage, running the CPW workload on a set of disks in either a 5074 or 5094 tower, using a single IOP, one RAID controller and 15 disk units

Progressing from left to right, you can see the System (Disk) Response time and the CPW metric progress from the existing 2778 controller and 10K RPM disk drives, improve with the new 2757 disk controller with 10K RPM disk drives, and improve further with the combined new 2757 controller and 15K RPM disk drives. This is as you would expect. However, we note that CPW transaction throughput improvement is quite dramatic even with the existing 10K RPM disk drives on the new 2757 controller.

RAID-5Striping of data and parity across all or some disks in the arraySpecific rules by adapter type, iSeries internal disk units with RAID-5 adapters

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: RAID, what RAID ?RAID-0: iSeries does not use the data striping on disk unit arrays. iSeries storage management functions however are spreading the data over all available and configured drives in a auxiliary storage pool. No error checking or redundancy. The failure of one drive in the array results in the loss of all data stored in the array. When used with file based operating systems, where parts of the files not residing on a failed drive can be recovered , not all data is lost when a fatal drive failure occurs.

RAID-1 On the iSeries, the implementation is called mirroring and is part of the operating system functions. Since iSeries storage management functions are also spreading the data over all available and configured drives in a auxiliary storage pool (actually over half of the available units because the mirrored image is on the others), some call this way of protection a semi-RAID-1/0 being (for the iSeries) a combination of distributing data over multiple units and mirror them at the same time. For the iSeries there are different levels of RAID-1 protection. There is disk level mirroring, IOP level mirroring and bus level mirroring. For description of these levels, look for descriptions on mirrored protection specify codes : #0040, #0042 and #0043.

RAID-3: A dedicated drive keeps the parity information for the other data drives in the RAID set. These data drives make use of byte-level striping to spread large record information across the entire array. RAID-3 makes use of each sector's embedded ECC to detect and repair errors. The utilization of byte-level striping makes RAID-3 a suitable choice for single-user environments where large files are in use.

RAID-4: Almost identical to RAID-3 protection, with a single dedicated parity drive and striped data drives. The difference is that unlike RAID-3, RAID-4 striping consists of block-level striping, allowing an entire record to be written to each stripe. This makes RAID-4 more suitable for systems with transactional environments where many smaller reads are needed at the same time.

RAID-5: The optimal combination of redundancy, performance, and storage efficiency make RAID-5 one of the most widely favored data protection methods currently used. This controller implemented protection methodology spreads the parity locations across the entire disk set or a number of units in the set, installing a parity segment on each drive or a number of drives in the set . This arrangement is called distributed parity, and it greatly enhances the array's I/O performance, since the burden of parity write operations is shared throughout the array. RAID-5 is sometimes referred to as a Rotating Parity Array. While write efficiency is greatly improved over other RAID methods, parity calculations must still be performed for each write, and this still creates a slowdown. Using the new iSeries adapters with large, fast, intelligent AND protected write cache, physical write performance slow down can almost be ignored. Optimization of a RAID-5 array can be achieved by adjusting the stripe size to best deal with the environment's needs. Data protection is still optimal, with the full regenerative capabilities of parity and the fact that parity blocks are isolated from their associated data blocks. Cost effectiveness of RAID-5 is also good, comparable to other data protection methods. Hardware control is likewise a necessity. RAID-5 as implemented with the new iSeries adapters is also ideally suited to applications where large numbers of users are accessing information simultaneously.

IBM eServer iSeries


The previous foil is a graphical representation of the distribution of the data and the parity data on disk drives in a RAID-5 set driven by the latest iSeries RAID-5 disk controllers (#2757 or #2782). The example shows four drives (A, B, C and D) in a RAID-5 set, each drive represented by a single platter.

The RAID-5 striping of data and parity data now works with subarrays. There are 16 subarrays per drive. The size of such a subarray 6.25% of the disk unit capacity. The array includes data and parity data if the disk unit contains parity data. This existing of parity data in the subarray restricts the size of the subarray available for data with exactly the same percentage as if there were no subarrays whatsoever. Easy to understand that the total amount of disk space reserved for parity data stays the same as before. The difference with the new adapters is also the possible distribution of parity data over more or less units than before (see previous foils covering the new adapters).

Back to the details of the four disk unit example on the foil. The data in each subarray (A1, B1, C1, D1) has its parity data distributed over the units in the corresponding subarrays. The parity data of subarray 1 on disk A contains the parity bits for subarrays 1 of the other (B, C, D) disk units. The main advantage here is that when for example parity data has to be written, on disk units with low occupancy, the disk unit actuator will only need to be moved over a very small distance on the platter before a write can start. This provides a serious advantage over the previous design, when data was written on one side of the platters and parity data on the opposite side. Seeks over more than 2/3 of the platter were happening all the time with the previously used method for parity data striping, especially when the used storage capacity of the disk(s) was rather low.

As we stated earlier in the foil describing the 2757 controller the V5R2 user has additional control of how the RAID parity data is physically striped . Starting RAID-5 from a Service Tools 5250 workstation results in the creation of a "balanced" type of parity spreading across the disk units. Optimization options selectable from iSeries Navigator when starting RAID-5 on disk units under a #2757 or #2782 offer more flexibility:

Capacity: A parity set optimized for capacity stores the most data possible. The I/O adapter may generate fewer parity sets with more disk units in each parity set. For example, if an I/O adapter has 15 disk units and is optimized for capacity, the result could be one parity set containing 15 disk units.Balanced: A balanced parity set compromises between the ability to store large amounts of data and also provide fast access to data. For example, if an I/O adapter has 15 disk units and you choose balanced parity optimization, the result could be two parity sets, one with nine disk units and one with six disk units.Performance: Parity sets optimized for performance provide the fastest data access. The I/O adapter may generate more parity sets with fewer numbers of disk units. For example, if an I/O adapter had 15 disk units and is optimized for performance, the result could be three parity sets with five disk units each.

VXA-2 is of interest to many customers with entry tape needs. VXA-2 is a very attractive replacement alternative to the QIC tape drives which have been used on AS/400 and iSeries for many years. Compared to QIC, it offers higher capacity, higher speed and great price performance. With up to 80 GB capacity per uncompressed tape cartridge, it has 20x a 4GB QIC capacity. Its data rate is 15x the 4GB QIC and it's price is much less than the 30GB or 50GB QIC drives.

Availability for iSeries is planned June 13 for both the VXA-2 and the 3582/3583.

These devices are supported on V5R1 and V5R2 with already available release levels of microcode and OS/400 cumulative packages. In some cases the VXA-2 device may not report as the new 4585/4586 device. A PTF is to be available in June 2003 to correct the reporting issue.

More details on the May 2003 tape enhancements follow.

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Advantages of IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape DriveThe Ultrium 2 Tape Drive offers significant improvements over the Ultrium 1 Tape Drive. Here are some of the highlights.

Tape drive performance is more than doubled, up to 35 MB/sec native data transfer rate (70 MB/sec with 2:1 compression). IBM Ultrium

Tape Drives can read and write original LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges at original Ultrium 1 capacities and with improved performance up to 20 MB/sec native data transfer rate (40 MB/sec with 2:1 compression).

NOTE: Although the IBM Ultrium Tape Drive provides the capability for high tape performance, the actual throughput is a function of many components, such as system processor, disk data rate, data block size, data compressibility, I/O attachments, and the system or application software used. For example, the HVD Ultra SCSI interface has a maximum data transfer rate of 40 MB/sec, so Ultrium Tape Drives on that SCSI interface will have a lower data transfer rate. The compression technology used in the tape drive can typically double the amount of data that can be stored on the media; however, the actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed.

The tape cartridge capacity is doubled up to 200 GB native capacity (400 GB with 2:1 compression), with the use of the new Ultrium 200 GB Data Cartridge.

Digital Speed Matching - The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive will perform dynamic speed matching to adjust the drive's native data rate as closely as possible to the net host data rate (after data compressibility has been factored out). This provides the dual benefit of reducing the number of backhitch repositions and improving throughput performance.

Larger Internal Data Buffer - There is a 64 MB internal data buffer in the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive as compared to a 32 MB internal data buffer in the Ultrium 1 Tape Drive

Faster Cartridge Fill Times, Faster Data Access, Rewind, and Load Times, Separate Writing of Multiple Filemarks, Channel Calibration, and several additional enhancements are also included with the IBM LTO Ultrium 2 tape drives. For more information, visit http://www.ibm.com/storage/lto

Point to point, FibreChannel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) and Switch Fabric topologies are supported.

The May 2003 V5R2 Performance Capabilities Reference manual contains updated Save/Restore performance information demonstrating up to 300 GB per hour for Save File Save/Restore of the "Large File Workload" described in the manual. This test is based on object data stored on disks attached to the 2757 I/O controller that became available 1Q 2003.

Notes: 80 GB VXA-2 Tape Drive detailsWith the May 2003 iSeries announcements, the new VXA-2 tape device and tape media technology, available on the e pSeries and xSeries, becomes available (GA June 2003) on the iSeries. This new technology introduces improved price per GB of storage, compared to quarter inch cartridge technology, but does introduce incompatible media among a set of systems using other technology (for example, QIC). The May 2003 V5R2 Performance Capabilities Reference manual contains updated Save/Restore performance information demonstrating up to 40 GB per hour for a Save File of the "Large File Workload" described in the manual. This test is based on object data stored the 2757 I/O controller that became available 1Q 2003.

The Performance Capabilities Reference manual can be found at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/perfmgmt

Positioning versus QIC

The industry stated sustained data rate is listed as 6MB/second (12MB/second compressed).

Unless there are QIC media compatibility requirements or QIC interchange requirements, this is an outstanding entry tape offering compared to QIC. Though IBM will continue to sell and support QIC on iSeries for some time, it is important to note that IBM has introduced this common entry tape offering to iSeries, pSeries and xSeries servers. QIC remains specific to just iSeries servers. It is also important to note that the 4GB QIC is very mature technology and the 4GB QIC's speed/capacity has fallen behind the needs of many customers and the size of modern disk drives.

LTO provides even higher capacity, speed and automation options that should be encouraged for customers whose needs may not remain "entry level".

The 7206 Model VX2 was announced in August of 2002 as being supported on xSeries and pSeries servers. Its VXA-2 technology writes data using a Discrete Packet Format on tape cartridges that are not compatible previously existing 8mm devices or with 4-mm tape cartridges written by prior 7206 Models 001, 005, 110, or 220.

Though VXA-2 is announced on iSeries, pSeries and xSeries servers; what is physically installed inside each server is a little different. The physical tape drive is the same providing an opportunity for a common media exchange, but the mounting and/or connections to the server vary. This combined with different volume projections will obviously cause some different pricing between servers.

As of January 3, 2003, here were IBM USA tape cartridge prices (quantity of one). Please validate they are still applicable before quoting

as they are subject to change. In general, VXA-2 is less dollars per GB of storage. Note that QIC and VXA-2 media are not compatible.

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: 80 GB VXA-2 Tape Drive details -2The price of VXA-2 device is $2600, which is just over 50% of the price of QIC 30GB SLR60 device (iSeries features #4487/4587) and approximately 40% of the 50GB SLR100 device (iSeries features #4487/4587 internal tapes or external device 7329 Model 308) support. There is a significant price advantage for VXA-2 as well as significant capacity advantage (80GB Vs 30/50GB).

(SLR = Scalar Linear Recording)

As of January 3, 2003, the following lists some IBM USA tape cartridge prices (quantity of one). Please validate they are still applicable before quoting, as they are subject to change. In general, VXA-2 is less dollars per GB of storage. Note that QIC and VXA-2 media are not compatible.

IBM List Price on QIC tape cartridges: 4GB: 59H3660 (SLR5): $46.91 ($11.72/GB) 30GB: 19P4209 (SLR60): $76.77 ($2.56/GB)50GB: 35L0968 (SLR100): $104.40 ($2.09/GB)

IBM List Price on VXA tape cartridges:19P4878 -- V6 20GB / 60 meters data cartridge: $38.38 ($1.92/GB)19P4877 -- V17 59GB / 170 meters data cartridge: $92.23 ($1.59/GB)19P4876 -- V23 80GB / 230 meters data cartridge: $130.00 ($1.63/GB)

Note that on some supported cartridges you may see labels that have slightly different rated capacity values. Here are 2 additional parts:19P4879 -- V6 20GB / 60 meters test cartridge19P4880 -- Cleaning cartridge

In cases of existing backup information contained on QIC cartridges, consider performing a tape to tape copy between media types on a V5R1 or V5R2 system supporting the to and from media type devices.

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: HSL Adapter OverviewThe new iSeries servers i825, i870 and i890 can have a variety of different HSL ports depending on the HSL adapters selected. It is important for planning the physical connections between the servers and the towers (can be PCI, PCI-X or IXA).

All HSL adapters for the new iSeries servers support HSL clustering - with one exception, the base HSL adapter (HSL ports C0 and C1) on the i825 does not support HSL clustering. The high end servers (i825, i870 and i890) can have dedicated three server loops. All participating servers on any HSL clustered loop must be at V5R2 when at least one iSeries 800, i810, i825, i879, i890 server is the loop.

The i870 HSL adapters all have 4 ports enabled (2 loops per adapter), the i890 24 to 32-way adapters all have 8 ports enabled (4 HSL loops per adapter) and the i890 16 to 24-way adapters all have 8 ports enabled (4 HSL loops per adapter) - except for the HSL adapter in position M39, which has only 4 ports (A0, A1, B0 and B1) enabled (2 loops per adapter).

Note on i825:

The i825 has HSL-2 ports and can connect to 5094s (which are HSL-2) or 5074s (which are HSL and need a conversion cable).

The i825 can also have one HSL OptiConnect Loop using the fiber optic ports. Three HSL adapters are available. One is always copper using slots C08 (optional) and C09 (base).

The customer can order an 825 with 2 HSL adapters - hazeltine optical adapters. You can use features #2786 (C08) and #9786 (C09). Such a configuration can support one (with #9786) or two (with #9786 and #2786) optical loops. You need optical adapters in the I/O towers as well. Optical cables of 250 meters are supported.

You also need the copper to optical conversions for SPCN and an optical cable for SPCN.

We actually don't support switches for optical HSL connections. The maximum distance of 250 meters is supported by our orderable optical cables. If the customer uses switches/connections etc. at his own risk, things may work (won't get defect support from IBM) when the reflactance, insertion loss and attenuation are within specs.

******************HSL Fiber optic cable supports up to 250 meters lengths and up to 750 meters total within the loop. You cannot extend this any further. The maximum distance between a system and an I/O tower is 250 meters.

For future reference, this number will not be increased. As the system bus gets faster, the cables will become shorter (you see this in the HSL and HSL-2 copper cables). We will maintain the fiber optic cables (with no increase in performance) for the purpose of distance.

Notes: Single Loop configuration with IXAPlanning is important for configuring HSL loops, the associated cables and their type and length. The aspects of performance and availability may dictate configuration less than the maximums. For example, do not put 5 I/O towers with heavily utilized disk arms on the same loop and expect best performance during times of highest disk I/O rates.

Since we will see more complicated combinations then before with the new type of PCI-X towers, extra considerations must be taken into account. The HSL loop will be reduced to two HSL segments when the IXA is powered down from the xServer console.

In the next foil we see a good performing configuration.

Notes: Dual Loop configuration with IXAOn a server with more than one HSL loop, moving the IXA(s) to a separate loop only requires one additional HSL to HSL-2 cable. The chance to have a serious outage on the first HSL loop are reduced.

This is a very simple example of improving the HSL configuration. The implementation of such improvements gets more complicated when adding more towers to the configuration since there are different type of towers available.

Notes: Two Server Loop configurationFor loops that contain two servers the following rules apply:

The maximum number of external towers per loop is 4.The maximum number of external towers per segment is 3. These limits apply to the sum of all types of external towers, including IXS towers.

Switchable towers in this type of setup must be placed according to other rules such as:A switchable tower must be immediately adjacent in the HSL loop to the alternate system, or to a tower (private switchable, or switched) owned by the alternate system. Two systems define the ends of an HSL loop segment on which a switchable tower resides. One of those systems must be the home system and the other must be the alternate system for that tower. (This rule is essentially a direct result of first rule.)IXS towers are not switchable towers

No I/O Towers allowed in any segment of a three server loop

Notes: Three Server Loop configuration For the three server loop configuration there is one simple rule that applies: there can't be any towers on this loop. All segment cables need to run directly from one server to the other. All three participating servers must be at V5R2!

Notes: Cable Configurations and Tower ArrangementsIn the example given on this foil, changing the I/O tower arrangement for better performance requires just a single additional cable.

Since the i825 has two base HSL-2 adapters, it is much more efficient from a performance perspective to populate both loops with I/O towers. Depending on the specific requirements, one can decide to order additional HSL adapters with the correct type of HSL cables for a suitable tower cabling configuration.

In the Tower chapter under High-speed link tower placement for iSeries in the iSeries System Builder SG24-2155-07, you can find a set of rules and recommendations for setting up the I/O towers on the different servers.

Notes: Server and I/O Tower Upgrades at a GlanceThis foil shows graphics from the Marketing Product Positioning presentation for server to server upgrades and disk I/O tower to disk I/O tower upgrades. The bold lines between an older and upgraded to / migrated to system indicates the primary "to system."

The disks and the PCI cards need to be accommodated in a 5074 or a 5094 based on their compatibility. Some of the expansion units can be converted to work with the new models. However detailed planning needs to be done before beginning the expansion unit conversion if you are upgrading a partitioned server.

Review other documentation on hardware migration detail. For example, the following current I/O tower disk drives can be moved:7.2K rpm #4308 (4 GB)7.2K rpm #4314 (8.5 GB)7.2K rpm #4324 (17.5 GB)All 10K rpm disks

iSeries has spent extensive hours testing upgrade and migration testing of upgrades to minimize the impact to "hours of operation" required to run a business. Note that many other vendors do not yet have the extensive capacities to support upgrades the way the iSeries does.

Upgrades are defined as moving to the new server from an existing server and retaining the existing system's serial number. Migration is used to mean actually "moving" current hardware to the new system, independent of retaining the serial number.

Notes:Additional iSeries presentations and other marketing materials can be found on the IBM Systems Sales Web site at: w3.ibm.com/sales/systems/iseries/There is also a Migration redbook being updated: IBM eServer iSeries Server Migration: System Migration and Upgrades at V5R1 and V5R2, SG24-6055-02 (red draft Feb 2003)See the Hardware presentation in the January 2003 Announcements Technical Overview set of presentationsThe following ITSO Redpaper is intended to be a summary of supported upgrades/migrations that can be updated as necessary - IBM eServer iSeries Supported Upgrades, REDP0322, availability February 24, 2003 with planned update for May 2003.

Solution Assurance may be required in many cases (e.g. i870, i890)

Upgrade or Migrate?Recent vintage hardware more likely to be eligible for upgrade

V5R2 not supported on 4xx, 5xx hardware - requires migration

Consider migration ifConverting to new HSL PCI-X I/O supportServer Consolidation - partitioningShort maintenance windows for upgrades

Upgrades include upgrade to an editionInteractive capacity requirementsCapacity on demand (permanent and/or temporary)

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Upgrade or Migrate?One of the decisive factors for selecting an upgrade of an existing system or replacing the hardware will be based on the number of components that can be reused on the new system. Features, such as SPD towers, migration towers and SPD IOAs are not supported on the new hardware; other components, such as slower disk or tape drives, might be replaced since they are not delivering the performance or usability features one is looking for. Remember also that any 4xx and 5xx systems do not support V5R2, so a side-by-side migration will be required.

Another criteria that will decide whether or not to select a straightforward upgrade will be the maximum allowable downtime the service delivery can tolerate. Also, a simple box upgrade will take considerably less time than if you need, at the same time, change the RAID5 implementation by introducing the new RAID5 controllers, or have to replace all expansion towers with new expansion towers. Remember also that upgrading from an LPAR environment will take more time to bring up the system again, especially when adding or changing the configuration drastically.

This announcement introduces a line of products that allow to easily perform server consolidation and enable a very useful way to dynamically adjust server and partitioning resources (i.e. processors) than before; the enhanced support, offered by V5R2, for hosting Linux, Windows and UNIX applications allows to use a single footprint for a variety of workloads. Combined with the excellent management tools provided by tools such as iSeries Navigator, an offering for a consolidated server becomes a very attractive proposition to deliver outstanding levels of service delivery.

With the new systems, the notion of different interactive capacity cards has disappeared. This means that instead you need to validate whether or not the server can run with either 0 5250 OLTP capacity, such as offered by the Standard Options Package, or with the full processor CPW 5250 OLTP capacity, as included in the Enterprise Package.

Finally, the upgrade or migration choice for such a hardware change will be influenced by the budget. In some occasions, especially when the original system has older components, you also need to consider the recurring costs for manpower (e.g. the attended time needed for handling backup volumes will be shorter if the backup/restore medium is automated or faster than the new one), maintenance, floorspace, power and cooling to complete this picture.

Redefined Side-by-Side P847156Information Only RPQOnly available through a special bid approval process -requires a negotiated price/contract for temporary software license, and ....Up to 56 days to complete

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Side by Side optionInformation only RPQ 847156 has existed in the past for side-by-side upgrades to earlier systems that included 830, 830, 840 target systems. That earlier support was chargeable.

Starting in January 2003, this is ab Information only RPQ and, when approved through a special bids process, no longer has a price.

Here are more details.

This is an informational RPQ that provides the necessary information, guidelines and process to allow a customer to run two servers with the same type/serial number concurrently for a limited time period when upgrading to an iSeries processor. The processor upgrade must be an upgrade which replaces a very large portion of the physical CEC to be a viable side by side. The two servers consist of:

Source system: 720, 730, 740, 820, 825, 830, 840 which is being upgraded to an 825, 830, 840, 870, or 890 Target system: resulting 825, 830, 840, 870, or 890

Only published upgrade paths are supported. A side by side within a model is not allowed, that is, no 825 to 825, 830 to 830, etc. Also, an 870 to 890 is not supported as a side by side upgrade.

A side by side is only available via the special bid process. A special bid must be completed by the appropriate geography pricer for each side by side. The special bid will establish the price for the side by side, provide a temporary software license and allow a retention of the return MES parts/features for a specified period of time not to exceed 8 weeks. A services contract will normally be required to cover the cost of additional service time and trips associated with a side by side. Prices for the special bid are dependent on the length of time and the resulting iSeries model.
