Abstract

IBM UNIX systems consist of the IBM eServer pSeries and IBM RS/6000 product lines. Providing unprecedented value, these innovative systems feature IBM's leading-edge technology and run the top-rated UNIX operating system, AIX. This broad product line ranges from powerful workstations ideal for mechanical design; to mission-critical symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) servers for ERP, SCM, CRM, transaction processing, and Web serving; up to parallel RS/6000 SP systems that can handle demanding scientific and technical computing and business intelligence tasks. These platforms provide the power to create change and the flexibility to manage it, with thousands of applications that provide real value. More than 1,000,000 systems have shipped to over 135,000 businesses worldwide.

The 43P Series leverages the personal computer technology from such common industry technologies as PCI, ISA and SCSI-2. This enables you to use many of the high-performance PCI adapters, low-priced ISA adapters, and readily available SCSI-2 devices. Model abstract 7043-150

The IBM RS/6000 43P 7043 Model 150 is an entry-level desktop RS/6000 workstation or workgroup server offered at an affordable price. The 150 provides a continuation of the successful line of entry workstations, offering enhanced performance over the current Model 140.

The Model 150 is a uni-processor system that provides enhanced performance over its predecessor, the Model 140, by utilizing a 250 or 375 MHz PowerPC 604e processor and an enhanced memory controller. With this memory controller, the Model 150 uses SDRAM memory and an 83 MHz memory bus speed. The system memory can also be expanded up to 1 GB.

With Ethernet and Ultra SCSI controllers integrated on the planar, the Model 150 also contains five PCI slots and five bays for expansion and growth capability. This makes the Model 150 an attractive investment as either a technical workstation or an entry workgroup server.

The Model 150 supports a variety of 2D and 3D graphics adapters (including a new advanced 3D graphics adapter), offering excellent graphics price and performance. In addition, a robust set of disk drive and communications features is available.

The AIX Version 4.2.1, Version 4.3.3, or Version 5.1, or later, operating system is included with each Model 150 and can be preinstalled.

The CD-ROM (feature number 2624) will be the default for the optical storage device if no specific drive is chosen. If you do choose memory or hard disk, the configurator selects 128 MB of memory (X 128 MB DIMM -- feature number 4150) and one 18.2 GB disk drive (feature number 3102). A keyboard, mouse, graphics adapter, and monitor are available as options.

Reliability Availability and Serviceability (RAS)

Reliability, Fault Tolerance and Data Integrity

The reliability of the Model 150 system starts with reliable components, devices and sub-systems. During the design and development process, sub-systems go through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During system manufacturing, systems go through a thorough testing process to ensure highest product quality level.

The Model 150 system memory offers error checking and correcting (ECC) fault tolerant features. ECC corrects environmentally-induced, single- bit, intermittent memory failures as well as single-bit hard failures. With ECC, the likelihood of memory failures will be substantially reduced. ECC also provides double-bit memory error detection that helps protect data integrity in the event of a double-bit memory failure. The system bus and PCI buses are designed with parity error detection.

Disk mirroring and disk controller duplexing capability are also provided by the AIX operating system.

The Journaled File System of the AIX operating system maintains file system consistency and reduces the likelihood of data loss when the system is abnormally halted due to a power failure.

Fault Monitoring Functions

  • POST (power-on self test) which checks processor, L2 cache, memory and associated hardware required for proper booting of the operating system, every time the system is powered on. If a non-critical error is detected or if the errors occur in resources that can be removed from the system configuration, the booting process will proceed to completion. The error are logged in the system non-volatile RAM.
  • Disk drive fault tracking that can alert system administrator of an impending disk failure before it impacts customer operation.
  • AIX log facility where hardware and software failures are recorded and analyzed (by Error Log Analysis (ELA) routine) to provide warning to the system administrator on the causes of system problems. This also enables IBM service representatives to bring along needed replacement hardware components when a service call is placed, thus minimizing system repair time.

Environmental Monitoring Functions

  • Fan speed monitoring to provide warning and orderly system shutdown when the speed is out of operational specification.
  • AC power loss sensing to provide orderly system shutdown.

Error Handling and Reporting

In the unlikely event of system hardware or environmental-induced failure, the system "Run-time Error Capture" capability systematically analyzes the hardware error signature to determine the cause of failure. The analysis result will be stored in system non-volatile RAM (NVRAM). When the system can be successfully rebooted either manually or automatically, the error will be reported to the AIX operating system. The Error Log Analysis (ELA) can be used to display the failure cause and the physical location of failing hardware.

Availability Enhancement Functions

  • On-line (Concurrent) Diagnostics with Error Log Analysis and Service Aids, which allow administrators or IBM Service representatives to diagnose potential system malfunction without interrupting end-user operation.
  • Auto-restart (reboot) option, when enabled, to reboot the system following an unrecoverable software error or hardware failure.

Serviceability

The Model 150 is designed for customer setup of the machine and for subsequent addition of most features (adapters/devices). For a fee, IBM Service can perform the installation.

The Model 150 allows support personnel to remotely log into a system to review error logs and perform remote maintenance.

The diagnostics consist of Stand-alone Diagnostics (system dedicated to service) and Online Diagnostics.

Online Diagnostics, when installed, are resident with AIX on the disk or system. They can be booted in single user mode (service mode), run in maintenance mode, or run concurrently (concurrent mode) with other applications. They have access to the AIX Error Log and the AIX Configuration Data.

Service Mode allows checking of system devices and features.

Concurrent Mode allows the normal system functions to continue while selected resources are being checked.

Maintenance Mode allows checking of most system resources

The System Management Services (SMS) error log is accessible from the SMS menu for tests performed through SMS programs.

Service Director for RS/6000

The Service Director* for RS/6000 is available at no additional charge if the RS/6000 processor is covered by an IBM Warranty or IBM Maintenance Service Agreement. When installed on the RS/6000, the Service Director for RS/6000 can enhance IBM's ability to provide the system with maintenance service.

The Service Director for RS/6000:

  • Monitors and analyzes system errors, and if needed, is designed to automatically place a service call to IBM without customer intervention.
  • Can reduce the effect of business disruptions due to unplanned system outages and failures.
  • Performs problem analysis on a subset of hardware-related problems and, with customer authorization, is designed to automatically report the results to IBM Service.

Online Customer Support (OCS)

Online Customer Support for hardware problem reporting may be performed via remote login by RS/6000 specialists using normal AIX facilities. The Service Director/6000 for RS/6000 software can also be used for this capability.

AIX Support offerings will be under AIXSERV and Service Director/6000 for RS/6000.
