POWERVM

PowerVM Editions are available as a hardware feature (#7983 PowerVM Express, #7982 for Standard, #7986 for Enterprise). Select the feature that provides the level of virtualization required for your application.

POWERVM provides:

Micro-partitioning for IBM i 5.4 and IBM i 6.1, AIX, and Linux partitions
Lx86 for Linux partitions
VIOS for IBM i 6.1, AIX, and Linux partitions
IVM for IBM i 6.1, AIX, and Linux partitions
Live Partition Mobility for AIX and Linux partitions
Partition Mobility, available only with PowerVM-Enterprise (#7986), enables you to move a running AIX or Linux LPAR from one physical server to another with no downtime if both servers are using POWER6 processors. This is a significant advancement in Power Systems virtualization technology and can assist you with performing the following common business needs while keeping the business up and running:
- Evacuating a system before performing scheduled maintenance
- Moving workloads across a pool of different physical resources as business needs shift
- Moving workloads off underutilized machines so that they can be powered off to save on energy and cooling costs
Micro-Partitioning support for a single core being shared by up to 10 logical partitions.
Virtual I/O Server is a single-function appliance that resides in a POWER5 or POWER6 processor-based partition. It facilitates the sharing of physical I/O resources between client partitions (AIX V5.3 or later, IBM i V6.1, or Linux) within the server. VIOS provides virtual SCSI targets and shared Ethernet adapter (SEA) virtual I/O to client LPARs.
Virtual SCSI (VSCSI) enables the sharing of physical storage adapters (SCSI and Fibre Channel) and storage devices (disk and optical) between LPARs.
Virtual networking: SEA enables connectivity between internal and external virtual LANs (VLANs); virtual Ethernet enables high-speed connections between partitions.
Lx86 supports running most x86 Linux applications within Linux partitions (see PowerVM Lx86 - Limitations).

PowerVM Editions:

PowerVM -Express (#7983) supports up to 3 partitions per system (VIOS, AIX, Linux and /or IBM i) which share processors and I/O. No HMC required or supported. It allows users to try out the IVM and the VIOS, which they would not get with an HMC.
PowerVM -Standard (#7982) supports up to 10 partitions per core, HMC management, VIOS, Lx86 and multiple shared processor pools.
PowerVM -Enterprise (#7986) adds support for Live Partition Mobility for AIX and Linux partitions.

Power 550 Capacity BackUp (CBU) Capability

(Applies to IBM i only)

The Power 550 systems' CBU designation can help meet your requirements for a second system to use for backup, high availability, and disaster recovery. It enables you to temporarily transfer IBM i processor license entitlements and 5250 Enterprise Enablement entitlements purchased for a primary machine to a secondary CBU-designated system. Temporarily transferring these resources instead of purchasing them for your secondary system may result in significant savings. Processor activations cannot be transferred.

The CBU specify feature #0444 is available only as part of a new server purchase or during a model upgrade to the 8204-E8A. Certain system prerequisites must be met and system registration and approval are required before the 8204 CBU specify feature can be applied on a new server. Feature #0444 cannot be added to a Solution Edition feature #9645 of #9646.

Standard IBM i terms and conditions do not allow either IBM i processor license entitlements or 5250 OLTP (Enterprise Enablement) entitlements to be transferred permanently or temporarily. These entitlements remain with the machine they were ordered for. When you register the association between your primary and on-order CBU system, you must agree to certain terms and conditions regarding the temporary transfer.

After a CBU system designation is approved and the system is installed, you can temporarily move your optional IBM i processor license entitlement and 5250 Enterprise Enablement entitlements from the primary system to the CBU system when the primary system is down or while the primary system processors are inactive. The CBU system can then better support failover and role swapping for a full range of test, disaster recovery, and high availability scenarios. Temporary entitlement transfer means that the entitlement is a property transferred from the primary system to the CBU system and may remain in use on the CBU system as long as the registered primary and CBU system are in deployment for the high availability or disaster recovery operation.

The primary system for a Power 550 (8204-E8A) server can be:

9117-MMA
9406-MMA
9406-570
8234-EMA
8204-E8A
9409-M50
9406-550

These systems have IBM i software licenses with an IBM i P20 or P30 software tier. The primary machine must be in the same enterprise as the CBU system.

Before you can temporarily transfer IBM i processor license entitlements from the registered primary system, you must have more than one IBM i processor license on the primary machine and at least one IBM i processor license on the CBU server. An activated processor must be available on the CBU server to use the transferred entitlement. You can then transfer any IBM i processor entitlements above the mimimum one, assuming the total IBM i workload on the primary system does not require the IBM i entitlement you would like to transfer during the time of the transfer. During this temporary transfer, the CBU system's internal records of its total number of IBM i processor license entitlements are not updated, and you may see IBM i license noncompliance warning messages from the CBU system. These warning messages in this situation do not mean you are not in compliance.

Before you can temporarily transfer 5250 entitlements, you must have more than one 5250 Enterprise Enablement entitlement on the primary server and at least one 5250 Enterprise Enablement entitlement on the CBU system. You can then transfer the entitlements that are not required on the primary server during the time of transfer and that are above the minimum of one entitlement.

For example, if you have a four-core Power 550 as your primary system with two IBM i processor license entitlements (one above the minimum) and two 5250 Enterprise Enablement entitlements (one above the minimum), you can temporarily transfer only one IBM i entitlement and one 5250 Enterprise Enablement entitlement. During the temporary transfer, the CBU system's internal records of its total number of IBM i processor entitlements is not updated, and you may see IBM i license noncompliance warning messages from the CBU system.

If your primary or CBU machine is sold or discontinued from use, any temporary entitlement transfers must be returned to the machine on which they were originally acquired.

Express Editions and Solution Editions with the IBM i Operating System

Express editions enable initial ease of ordering and feature a lower price than if you ordered them "a la carte" or build-to-order. Taking advantage of the edition is the only way you can use no-charge features for processor activations and IBM i user license entitlements. The Express editions are available only during the initial system order and cannot be ordered after your system is shipped.

The IBM configurator offers these easy-to-order Express editions that include no-charge activations or no-charge IBM i user entitlements. You can modify the Express Edition configurations to match your exact requirements for your initial shipment -- increasing or decreasing the configuration. If you create a configuration that falls below any of the defined minimums, the IBM configurator replaces the no-charge features with equivalent function regular charge features.

Solution Editions help meet the needs of SAP application users for the 2-core and 4-core 8204-E8A. Users of SAP's mySAP, ERP, BI, CRM, PLM, and SCM can qualify to use these editions.

The Power 550 Solution Editions require proof of a minimum purchase before the system is shipped from IBM. For details, visit the Solution Edition Web site at:

Power 550 Solution Editions for 4-core systems offer no-charge IBM i processor license entitlements resulting in a lower initial list price for qualifying clients. 4-core Solution Editions:

To receive no-charge features on your initial 4-core Solution Edition (#9645 and #9646) order, your order must include a minimum of:
- Four 4.2 or 5.0 GHz processor activations (2 x #4986 and 2 x #4946 for #4966 processor card, or 2 x #4987 and 2 x #4947 for #4967 processor card)
- Two (for #9645) or four (for #9646) IBM i processor licenses. #9646 requires one chargeable IBM i license which must be a regular IBM i license and cannot be the specialized Application Server license.
- 8 GB memory (4 GB per processor card)
- Eight SAS or SCSI IBM i disk drives (any size) or at least two Fibre Channel adapters
- One SAS RAID Enablement (#5679), or at least one 1.5GB write cache disk controller (#5583/5782/5782/5904/5908) or a pair of #5903 380MB write cache disk, or at least two Fibre Channel adapters, or at least two Fibre Channel over Ethernet adapters (#5708).
- Two power supplies (#7707)
- One GX loop adapter (HSL/RIO #5614 or 12X #5616/5608/5609)
- PowerVM Standard Edition (#7982), or higher

The no-charge features included are two no-charge processor activations (#4945 for processor #4965,#4946 for processor #4966 or #4947 for processor #4967) and either two no-charge IBM i license entitlement (#9645) or three no-charge IBM i processor entitlements (#9646) are available.

Suggested starting configurations for the 4-core 2 IBM i processor li- cense (#9645) and 4-core 4 IBM i processor license (#9646) Solution Editions are the same as the Express Edition (#9642) configurations except for the number of IBM i processor licenses.

Vouchers

When you purchase a new Power 550 system with an i Edition you may be entitled to receive one or two service vouchers at no additional charge depending upon IBM country-specific definitions.Systems ordered without an edition feature are not eligible. Upgrades from a 9406-520/525 keeping the same serial number do not use an edition feature and therefore are not eligible. Solution editions are not eligible.

Service vouchers deliver the technical leadership and consulting resources that can help you more fully understand and use the latest features and capabilities of the IBM i operating system. The experts will join your team and help get you started on the road to success with your new operating environment. For more information about vouchers, visit:

Power 550 Express Product Offering

Express Product Offerings are available only as initial order.

If you order a Power 550 server with a two-core POWER6 3.5 GHz (#4965) 4.2 GHz (#4966), or 5.0 GHz (#4967) processor Express Product Offering as defined here, you may qualify for a processor activation at no additional charge.

The number of processors, total memory, quantity/size of disk, and presence of a media device are the only features that determine if a customer is entitled to a processor activation at no additional charge.

When you purchase an Express Product Offering, you will be entitled to a lower-priced AIX or Linux operating system license, or you may choose to purchase the system with no operating system. The lower-priced AIX or Linux operating system is processed via a feature number on AIX 5.3 or AIX 6.1 and either Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. You may choose either the lower-priced AIX or Linux subscription, but not both. If you choose AIX 5.3 or AIX 6.1 for your lower-priced operating system, you can also order Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server but will purchase your Linux subscription at full price versus the reduced price. The converse is true if you choose a Linux subscription as your lower-priced operating system. Systems with a lower-priced AIX offering will be referred to as the IBM Power Express, AIX edition and systems with a lower-priced Linux operating system will be referred to as the IBM Power Express, OpenPower editions. In the case of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, only the first subscription purchased is lower priced so, for example, additional licenses purchased for Red Hat to run in multiple partitions will be at full price.

You can make changes to the standard features as needed and still qualify for processor entitlements at no additional charge, and a discounted AIX or Linux operating system license. However, selection of total memory or DASD smaller than the totals defined as the minimums disqualifies the order as an Express Product Offering.

Processor activations are only available to Solution Delivery Integration (SDIs) as MES orders.

IBM Power Systems Solution Editions support the new POWER6 processor-based Power 550 Express as a configuration option. In addition, the current Power 550 express configuration options have been streamlined to provide a common set of Express configurations supporting a range of users that complement the new Power 550 Express configuration options to simplify server selection and ease capacity planning.

IBM Power Solution Edition for Oracle

Highlights include:

Attractively-priced Power Express configuration building blocks tailored to fit popular Oracle E-Business Suite and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environments
Pre-sized configurations to simplify selection and ease capacity planning for a wide range of user requirements for Oracle E-Business Suite and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
Support for the diverse needs of end users, senior management, and IT professionals
Power Express family designed to be highly reliable and to help businesses build resilient and scalable computing environments without compromising system affordability
Sized to meet the needs of SMB clients in many industries

The IBM Power Solution Edition for Oracle includes a set of affordable Express configurations for popular Power Express models, that satisfy a range of user requirements from various industries, including finance, manufacturing, and distribution. These Express configurations have been tailored to specific user requirements for two Oracle business suites: Oracle E-Business Suite and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Bringing the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application environment together with the computing infrastructure, the IBM Power Solution Edition for Oracle is an end-to-end ERP solution designed to provide a more integrated and tuned environment for small and medium-sized businesses faced with the challenge of becoming an On Demand Business.

Mutual IBM and Oracle clients are eligible to order these new configurations if they are used in conjunction with one of these participating application environments:

Oracle E-Business Suite is a fully integrated, comprehensive suite of business applications for enterprises of all sizes that provides functionality to meet your unique requirements. Whether you implement one module at a time, multiple modules, or the complete suite, Oracle E-Business Suite provides better business information for effective decision-making and enables an adaptive enterprise for optimal responsiveness.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a complete suite of modular, preintegrated, industry-specific business applications configured for rapid deployment and ease of administration. The modular design allows you to implement only those solutions your business requires, and the flexible, integrated architecture lowers the ongoing cost of ownership.

The Express configurations are building blocks that can be enhanced with additional memory and I/O options to tailor the infrastructure to satisfy specific client requirements. In addition, an end-to-end solution stack could combine the leadership IBM Power Express family of servers, IBM PowerVM (Advanced POWER Virtualization) for supporting efficient, low-cost all-in-one server configurations; IBM System Storage; IBM Tivoli Access Manager and Oracle DataVault for system and data access protection, respectively; and the powerful Oracle software environments.

IBM Power Systems Solution Editions now provide memory and processor options that range from the 2-core System p5-510 with 8 GB of memory to the 8-core Power 550 with 64 GB of memory to help accelerate the selection and deployment of our ISV partner applications running on the IBM Power Express family. As with the current System p5 Express configuration based Solution Editions, the Power 550 Express based Solution Edition configurations are building blocks that can be configured with additional memory and I/O options to tailor the infrastructure to satisfy specific client requirements.

IBM Power Express configuration based Solution Editions are intended to be used in conjunction with Oracle or SAP application environments that have been tested, validated, and sized via the IBM Oracle and IBM SAP Competency Centers. Together with Oracle and SAP, IBM has developed a proven capacity estimation capability to aid in designing an optimal configuration for each specific client environment. The Power Systems Solution Editions built on the Power Express family leverage that experience and expertise to provide a range of choices to assist in planning for and acquiring Oracle and SAP based solutions on Power Systems.

The IBM Power Systems Solution Editions employ the same configuration rules as the Express Product Offerings and are available as an initial configuration option that may be selected using the IBM configuration tool during the configuration of a Power Express server. Prior to order placement, a detailed sizing estimate customized for your environment should be obtained from the IBM Techline Solution Sizing Team accessible through IBM or your IBM Business Partner representative.

Model Upgrades and Conversions

All model upgrades and conversions are CE install.

You can upgrade the 9406-550 with POWER5 or POWER5+ processors to the IBM Power 550 8204-E8A with POWER6 processors. For these upgrades, IBM will install Central Complex (CEC) enclosures to replace the enclosures that you currently have. You must return your current CEC enclosures to IBM in exchange for the financial considerations identified under the applicable cable feature conversions for each upgrade. Several of the parts in your current system can be moved to the new system after it is installed.

In addition, the 4-core 9409-M50 can be converted to a 4-core 8204-E8A. This is mostly a "paperwork" change since the POWER6 hardware is the same. However, there is some downtime when the information inside the system is updated to reflect that it is a different machine type and different model number.

Clients taking advantage of the model upgrade offer from a POWER5 or POWER5+ processor-based system are required to return to IBM all CEC enclosures, bezels, and system boards from the CEC enclosures that are part of the serial number system being upgraded. Any feature for which a feature conversion is used to obtain a new part must be returned to IBM also. Clients may keep and reuse any PCI adapters, SCSI disks, memory, or media devices that were not involved in a feature conversion transaction.

Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) features

Reliability, fault tolerance, and data integrity

The reliability of systems starts with components, devices, and subsystems that are designed to be fault-tolerant. During the design and development process, subsystems go through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During system manufacturing, systems go through a thorough testing process to help ensure the highest level of product quality.

The system cache and memory offer ECC (error checking and correcting) fault-tolerant features. ECC is designed to correct environmentally induced, single-bit, intermittent memory failures and 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 AIX operating system provides disk drive mirroring and disk drive controller duplexing. The Linux operating system supports disk drive mirroring (RAID 1) through software, while RAID protection is provided via hardware RAID adapters.

The Journaled File System, also known as JFS or JFS2, helps maintain file system consistency and reduces the likelihood of data loss when the system is abnormally halted due to a power failure. JFS, the recommended file system for 32-bit kernels, now supports extents on the Linux operating system. This feature is designed to substantially reduce or eliminate fragmentation. Its successor, JFS2, is the recommended file system for 64-bit kernels.

With 64-bit addressing, a maximum file system size of 32 TB, and maximum file size of 16 TB, JFS2 is highly recommended for systems running the AIX operating system.

Memory error correction extensions

The memory has single-error-bit correction and double-error-bit detection ECC circuitry. The memory chips are organized such that the failure of any specific memory module only affects a single bit within an ECC word (bit scattering), thus allowing for error correction and continued operation in the presence of a complete DRAM chip failure (Chipkill recovery). The double-bit detection is designed to help maintain data integrity by detecting and reporting multiple errors beyond what the ECC circuitry can correct.

Memory protection features include hardware scrubbing, thresholding, and dynamic bit steering. Dynamic bit steering uses correctable error thresholding to determine when available spare memory modules on each DIMM should be used to replace ones that have exceeded their threshold value.

Redundancy for array self-healing

Although the most likely failure event in a processor is a soft single-bit error in one of its caches, other events can occur, and they need to be distinguished from one another. For caches and their directories, hardware and firmware keep track of whether permanent errors are being corrected beyond a threshold. If exceeded, a deferred repair error log is created.

Caches and directories on the POWER6 chip are manufactured with spare bits in their arrays that can be accessed via programmable steering logic to replace faulty bits in the respective arrays. This is analogous to the redundant bit steering employed in main storage as a mechanism that is designed to help avoid physical repair, and is also implemented in POWER6 systems. The steering logic is activated during processor initialization and is initiated by the built-in system-test (BIST) at power-on time.

When correctable error cache exceeds a set threshold, systems using the POWER6 processor invoke a dynamic cache line delete function, which enables them to stop using bad cache and eliminates exposure to greater problems.

Fault monitoring functions

When a POWER6-based system is powered on, BIST and POST (power-on self-test) check processor, cache, memory, and associated hardware required for proper booting of the operating system. If a noncritical error is detected or if the errors occur in resources that can be removed from the system configuration, the restarting process is designed to proceed to completion. The errors are logged in the system nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).

Disk drive fault tracking is designed to alert the system administrator of an impending disk drive failure before it impacts customer operation.

Mutual surveillance

The Service Processor monitors the operation of the firmware during the boot process, and also monitors the Hypervisor for termination. The Hypervisor monitors the Service Processor and will perform a reset/reload if it detects the loss of the Service Processor. If the reset/reload does not correct the problem with the Service Processor, the Hypervisor will notify the operating system and the operating system can take appropriate action, including calling for service.

Environmental monitoring functions

POWER6-based servers include a range of environmental monitoring functions:

Temperature monitoring increases the fan speed rotation when ambient temperature is above the normal operating range or when a redundant fan fails.
Temperature monitoring warns the system administrator of potential environmental-related problems (for example, air conditioning and air circulation around the system) so that appropriate corrective actions can be taken before a critical failure threshold is reached. It also performs an orderly system shutdown when the operating temperature exceeds the critical level.
Fan speed monitoring provides a warning and an orderly system shutdown when the speed is out of operational specification.
Voltage monitoring provides warning and an orderly system shutdown when the voltages are out of operational specification.

Availability enhancement functions

The POWER6 family of systems continues to offer and introduce significant enhancements designed to increase system availability.

POWER6 processor enhancement functions

One of the significant mainframe-inspired availability enhancements in systems with the POWER6 processor is the ability to do processor instruction retry and alternate processor recovery. This significantly reduces exposure to both hard (logic) and soft (transient) errors in the processor core.

Soft failures in the processor core are transient (intermittent) errors, often due to cosmic rays or other sources of radiation, and generally are not repeatable. When an error is encountered in the core, the POWER6 processor will first automatically retry the instruction. If the source of the error was truly transient, the instruction will succeed and the system will continue as before. On predecessor IBM systems, this error would have caused a checkstop.

Hard failures are more difficult, being true logical errors that will be replicated each time the instruction is repeated. Retrying the instruction will not help in this situation because the instruction will continue to fail. Systems with POWER6 processors introduce the ability to extract the failing instruction from the faulty core and retry it elsewhere in the system, after which the failing core is dynamically deconfigured and called out for replacement. The entire process is transparent to the partition owning the failing instruction. Systems with POWER6 processors are designed to avoid what would have been a full system outage on earlier models. POWER6 single processor checkstopping

Another major advancement in POWER6 processors is single processor checkstopping. Prior to POWER6 processors, a processor checkstop would result in a system checkstop. A new feature is the ability to contain many processor checkstops to the partition that was using the processor at the time. This significantly reduces the probability of any one processor affecting total system availability.

Partition availability priority

Also new is the ability to assign availability priorities to partitions. If an alternate processor recovery event requires a spare processor in order to protect a workload but one is not available, the system will determine which partition has the lowest priority and attempt to claim the needed resource. On a properly configured POWER6 processor-based server, this allows that capacity to be first obtained from, for example, a test partition instead of a financial accounting system.

POWER6 cache availability

The POWER processor-based line of servers continues to be at the forefront of cache availability enhancements. While L3 cache line delete (also called "Pellston" healing) was introduced with POWER4 processors, the POWER6 processor line pioneers L2 cache line delete. In the event that an uncorrectable error occurs in L2 or L3 cache, the system will be able to dynamically remove the offending line of cache without requiring a restart. In addition, POWER6 processors utilize an inclusive L1/L2 cache design and a write-through cache policy on all levels, helping to ensure that data is written to main memory as soon as possible. POWER6 processors also continue to offer hardware-assisted memory scrubbing.

Special uncorrectable error handling

Uncorrectable errors are difficult for any system to tolerate, although there are some situations where they can be shown to be irrelevant. For example, if an uncorrectable error occurs in cached data that will never again be read or where a fresh write of the data is imminent, it would be unwise to "protect" the user by forcing an immediate reboot.

Special Uncorrectable Error (SUE) handling was an IBM innovation introduced for POWER5 processors, where an uncorrectable error in memory or cache does not immediately cause the system to terminate. Rather, the system tags the data and determines whether it will ever be used again. If the error is irrelevant, it will not force a checkstop.

PCI extended error handling

Prior to POWER5 processors, PCI bus parity errors caused a global machine check interrupt, which eventually required a system reboot to continue. In systems using POWER6 processors, I/O drawer hardware, system firmware, and AIX interaction have been designed to allow transparent recovery of intermittent PCI bus parity errors and graceful transition to the I/O device available state in the case of a permanent parity error in the PCI bus. This mechanism is called PCI extended error handling (EEH).

EEH-enabled adapters respond to a special data packet generated from the affected PCI slot hardware by calling system firmware, which will examine the affected bus, allow the device driver to reset it, and continue without a system reboot. Currently, there is limited support for the Linux operating system, depending upon driver availability.

Predictive failure and dynamic component deallocation

Servers with POWER processors have long had the capability to perform predictive failure analysis on certain critical components such as processors and memory. When these components exhibit symptoms that would indicate a failure is imminent, the system can dynamically deallocate and call home about the failing part before the error is propagated system-wide. In many cases this is transparent, especially if the system contains Capacity on Demand (CoD) components. If no CoD resources are available, the system will first attempt to reallocate resources in such a way that will avoid unplanned outages. In the event that insufficient resources exist to maintain full system availability, these servers will attempt to maintain partition availability by user-defined priority.

Uncorrectable error recovery

When the auto-restart option is enabled, the system can automatically restart following an unrecoverable software error, hardware failure, or environmentally induced (ac power) failure.

Serviceability

The purpose of Serviceability is to repair the system while attempting to minimize or eliminate service cost (within budget objectives), while maintaining high customer satisfaction. Serviceability includes system installation, MES (system upgrades/downgrades), and system maintenance/repair. Depending upon the system and warranty contract, service may be performed by the customer, an IBM representative, or an authorized warranty service provider.

The Serviceability features delivered in this system provide a highly efficient service environment by incorporating the following attributes

Design for Customer Set Up (CSU), Customer Installed Features (CIF), and Customer Replaceable Units (CRU)
Error detection and Fault Isolation (ED/FI)
First Failure Data Capture (FFDC)
Converged service approach across multiple IBM server platforms

Service environments

The POWER6 processor-based platforms support two main service environments:

No Hardware Management Console (HMC). There are two service strategies for non-HMC systems
- Full system partition: A single partition owns all the server resources and only one operating system may be installed.
- Partitioned system: In this configuration, the system can have more than one partition and can be running more than one operating system. In this environment, partitions are managed by the Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM), which provides some of the functions provided by the HMC.
- Attachment to one or more HMCs is supported by the system. This is the default configuration for servers supporting logical partitions with dedicated or virtual I/O. In this case, all servers have at least one logical partition.

The HMC is a dedicated server that provides functions for configuring and managing servers for either partitioned or full-system partition using a GUI or Command Line Interface (CLI). An HMC attached to the system allows support personnel (with client authorization) to remotely log in to review error logs and perform remote maintenance if required.

Service Interface

The Service Interface allows support personnel to communicate with the service support applications in a server using a console, interface, or terminal. Delivering a clear, concise view of available service applications, the Service Interface allows the support team to manage system resources and service information in an efficient and effective way. Applications available via the Service Interface are carefully configured and placed to give service providers access to important service functions.

Different service interfaces are used depending on the state of the system and its operating environment. The primary service interfaces are:

LEDs
Operator Panel
Service Processor menu
Operating system service menu
Service Focal Point on the HMC
Service Focal Point Lite on IVM

In the guiding light LED implementation, when a fault condition is detected on the POWER6 processor-based product, an amber System Attention LED will be illuminated. Upon arrival at the server, a service provider sets the identify mode, selecting a specific problem to be identified for repair by the guiding light method. The guiding light system pinpoints the exact part by flashing the amber identity LED associated with the part to be replaced.

The system can clearly identify components for replacement by using specific component level indicators, and can also guide the servicer directly to the component by signaling (causing to flash) the Rack/Frame System Identify indicator and the Drawer Identify indicator on the drawer containing the component. The flashing identify LEDs direct the servicer to the correct system, the correct enclosure, and the correct component.

First Failure Data Capture and Error Data Analysis

First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) is a technique that helps ensure that when a fault is detected in a system, the root cause of the fault will be captured without the need to re-create the problem or run any sort of extending tracing or diagnostics program. For the vast majority of faults, a good FFDC design means that the root cause can also be detected automatically without servicer intervention.

First Failure Data Capture FFDC information, error data analysis, and fault isolation are necessary to implement the advanced serviceability techniques that enable efficient service of the systems and to help determine the failing items.

In the absence of FFDC and Error Data Analysis, diagnostics are often required to re-create the failure and determine the failing items.

Diagnostics

General diagnostic objectives are to detect and identify problems such that they can be resolved quickly. Elements of IBM's diagnostics strategy include:

Provide a Common Error Code format equivalent to a System Reference Code, System Reference Number, Checkpoint, or Firmware error code.
Provide fault detection and problem isolation procedures. Support remote connection ability to be used by the IBM Remote Support Center or IBM Designated Service.
Provide interactive intelligence within the diagnostics with detailed online failure information while connected to IBM's back-end system.

Automatic diagnostics

Because of the FFDC technology designed into IBM Servers, it is no longer necessary to perform re-create diagnostics for failures or require user intervention. Solid and intermittent errors are designed to be correctly detected and isolated at the time the failure occurs. Run-time and boot-time diagnostics fall into this category.

Stand-alone diagnostics

As the name implies, stand-alone or user-initiated diagnostics require user intervention. The user must perform manual steps including:

Compact disk-based diagnostics
Keying in commands
Interactively selecting steps from a list of choices

Concurrent maintenance

The system will continue to support concurrent maintenance of power, cooling, PCI adapters, media devices, operator panel, and firmware updates (when possible). The determination of whether a firmware release can be updated concurrently is identified in the read me information file released with the firmware.

Service labels

Service providers use these labels to assist them in performing maintenance actions. Service labels are found in various formats and positions, and are intended to transmit readily available information to the servicer during the repair process. Following are some of these service labels and their purpose:

Location diagrams
- Location diagrams are strategically located on the system hardware, relating information regarding the placement of hardware components. Location diagrams may include location codes, drawings of physical locations, concurrent maintenance status, or other data pertinent to a repair. Location diagrams are especially useful when multiple components are installed such as DIMMs, CPUs, processor books, fans, adapter cards, LEDs, power supplies.
Remove/replace procedures
- Service labels that contain remove/replace procedures are often found on a cover of the system or in other spots accessible to the servicer. These labels provide systematic procedures, including diagrams, detailing how to remove/replace certain serviceable hardware components.
Arrows
- Arrows are used to indicate the serviceability direction of components. Some serviceable parts such as latches, levers, and touch points need to be pulled or pushed in a certain direction for the mechanical mechanisms to engage or disengage. Arrows generally improve the ease of serviceability.

Packaging for service

The following service enhancements are included in the physical packaging of the systems to facilitate service:

Color coding (touch points): Terracotta colored touch points indicate that a component (FRU/CRU) can potentially be concurrently maintained. Blue colored touch points delineate components that are not concurrently maintained those that require the system to be turned off for removal or repair.
Tool-less design: Selected IBM systems support tool-less or simple tool designs. These designs require no tools or simple tools such as flat head screw drivers to service the hardware components.
Positive Retention: Positive retention mechanisms help to assure proper connections between hardware components such as cables to connectors, and between two cards that attach to each other. Without positive retention, hardware components run the risk of becoming loose during shipping or installation, preventing a good electrical connection. Positive retention mechanisms like latches, levers, thumb-screws, pop Nylatches(tm) (U-clips), and cables are included to help prevent loose connections and aid in installing (seating) parts correctly. These positive retention items do not require tools.

Error Handling and Reporting

In the unlikely event of system hardware or environmentally 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 NVRAM. When the system can be successfully restarted either manually or automatically, the error will be reported to the AIX or Linux operating system. Error Log Analysis (ELA) can be used to display the failure cause and the physical location of the failing hardware.

With the integrated Service Processor, the system has the ability to automatically send out an alert via phone line to a pager or call for service in the event of a critical system failure. A hardware fault will also turn on the System Attention indicator located on the system unit to alert the user of an internal hardware problem. The indicator may also be turned on by the operator as a tool to allow system identification. For identification, the indicator will flash, whereas the indicator will be on solid when an error condition occurs.

On POWER6 processor-based servers running the AIX or Linux operating systems, hardware and software failures are recorded in the system log. When an HMC is attached, an ELA routine analyzes the error, forwards the event to the Service Focal Point (SFP) application running on the HMC, and notifies the system administrator that it has isolated a likely cause of the system problem. The Service Processor event log also records unrecoverable checkstop conditions, forwards them to the SFP application, and notifies the system administrator. Once the information is logged in the SFP application, if the system is properly configured, a call home service request will be initiated and the pertinent failure data with service parts information and part locations will be sent to an IBM Service organization. Customer contact information and specific system-related data such as the machine type, model, and serial number, along with error log data related to the failure are sent to IBM Service.

Service Processor

The Service Processor provides the capability to diagnose, check the status of, and sense the operational conditions of a system. It runs on its own power boundary and does not require resources from a system processor to be operational to perform its tasks.

The Service Processor supports surveillance of the connection to the HMC and to the system firmware (Hypervisor). It also provides several remote power control options, environmental monitoring, reset, restart, remote maintenance, and diagnostic functions, including console mirroring. The Service Processors menus (ASMI) can be accessed concurrently with system operation allowing nondisruptive abilities to change system default parameters.

Service Agent

The Service Agent is available at no additional charge. When installed, the Service Agent can enhance IBM's ability to provide the system with maintenance service.

Call Home

Call Home refers to an automatic or manual call from a customer location to IBM support structure with error log data, server status, or other service-related information. Call Home invokes the service organization in order for the appropriate service action to begin. Call Home can be done through HMC or non-HMC managed systems. While configuring Call Home is optional, clients are encouraged to implement this feature in order to obtain service enhancements such as reduced problem determination and faster and potentially more accurate transmittal of error information. In general, using the Call Home feature can result in increased system availability.

IBM Electronics Services

Electronic Service Agent and the IBM Electronic Services Web portal comprise the IBM Electronic Services solution--dedicated to providing fast, exceptional support to IBM customers. IBM Electronic Service Agent is a no-charge tool that proactively monitors and reports hardware events, such as system errors, performance issues, and inventory. Electronic Service Agent can help focus on the customer's company strategic business initiatives, save time, and spend less effort managing day-to-day IT maintenance issues.

Now integrated in AIX 5.3 TL6 in addition to the HMC, Electronic Service Agent is designed to automatically and electronically report system failures and customer-perceived issues to IBM, which can result in faster problem resolution and increased availability. System configuration and inventory information collected by Electronic Service Agent also can be viewed on the secure Electronic Services Web portal, and used to improve problem determination and resolution between the customer and the IBM support team. As part of an increased focus to provide even better service to IBM customers, Electronic Service Agent tool configuration and activation comes standard with the system. In support of this effort, a new HMC External Connectivity security whitepaper has been published, which describes data exchanges between the HMC and the IBM Service Delivery Center (SDC) and the methods and protocols for this exchange. To read the whitepaper and prepare for Electronic Service Agent installation, go to the "Reference Guide" section of:

Benefits

Increased uptime: Electronic Service Agent is designed to enhance the warranty and maintenance service by providing faster hardware error reporting and uploading system information to IBM Support. This can optimize the time monitoring the symptoms, diagnosing the error, and manually calling IBM Support to open a problem record. 24x7 monitoring and reporting means no more dependency on human intervention or off-hours customer personnel when errors are encountered in the middle of the night.

Security: Electronic Service Agent is secure in monitoring, reporting, and storing the data at IBM. Electronic Service Agent securely transmits via the Internet (HTTPS or VPN) and can be configured to communicate securely through gateways to provide customers a single point of exit from their site. Communication between the customer and IBM only flows one way; activating Service Agent does not enable IBM to call into a customer's system. System inventory information is stored in a secure database, which is protected behind IBM firewalls. The customer's business applications or business data is never transmitted to IBM.

More accurate reporting: Since system information and error logs are automatically uploaded to the IBM Support Center in conjunction with the service request, customers are not required to find and send system information, decreasing the risk of misreported or misdiagnosed errors. Once inside IBM, problem error data is run through a data knowledge management system and knowledge articles are appended to the problem record.

Customized support: Using the IBM ID entered during activation, customers can view system and support information in the "My Systems" and "Premium Search" sections of the Electronic Services Web site.

The Electronic Services Web portal is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. This Web portal enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems. The newly improved My Systems and Premium Search functions make it even easier for Electronic Service Agent-enabled customers to track system inventory and find pertinent fixes.

My Systems provides valuable reports of installed hardware and software using information collected from the systems by IBM Electronic Service Agent. Reports are available for any system associated with the customer's IBM ID. Premium Search combines the function of search and the value of Electronic Service Agent information, providing advanced search of the technical support knowledgebase. Using Premium Search and the Service Agent information that has been collected from the system, customers are able to see search results that apply specifically to their systems.

Limitations

System

When an HMC is connected to the system, the integrated system ports are rendered nonfunctional. In this case, the customer must install an asynchronous adapter for serial port usage.
Integrated system ports are not supported when the HMC ports are connected to an HMC. Either the HMC ports or the integrated system ports can be used, but not both.
The integrated system ports are supported for modem and asynch terminal connections. Any other application using serial ports requires a serial port adapter to be installed in a PCI slot. The integrated system ports do not support HACMP configurations.
Split backplane capability is available with DASD Backplane #8345 or #8346. Cables #3669 and #3679 are required.
The QPRCFEAT hardware value is stored in the system firmware and can be queried by applications running in IBM i partitions. On Power Systems, this value is equivalent to the processor feature. The value does not change based on the IBM i edition or the number of processors on the system.

The operating voltage on a 2-core or 4-core Power 550 System is 100-127V ac. The operating voltage on a 4-core or 8-core Power 550 System is 200-240V ac.
Rack-mount to deskside and deskside to rack-mount conversions are not supported

Processor cards

A minimum of one processor card is required on an order with a maximum of eight processors on four processor cards.
One, two, three, or four 2-core processor cards (#4965, #4966 or #4967) may be installed in a system.
Processor cards (#4965, #4966 and #4967) may not be mixed in the system.
Processor card #4967 is available as an MES order only when the Power 550 system has a #4967 processor card currently installed. If the Power 550 system has #4965 or #4966 installed in it, #4967 is not MES orderable.
Removing all #4965 or #4966 processor cards from a system and replacing some or all of them with #4967 processor cards is not allowed
All processors must be activated.
- The 2-core 3.5 GHz processor (#4965) requires that two processor activation codes be ordered. A maximum of two processor activation code features (2 x #4985, or 1 x #4985 and 1 x #4945) are allowed per processor card.
- The 2-core 4.2 GHz processor (#4966) requires that two processor activation codes be ordered. A maximum of two processor activation code features (2 x #4986, or 1 x #4986 and 1 x #4946) are allowed per processor card.
- The 2-core 5.0 GHz processor (#4967) requires that two processor activation codes be ordered. A maximum of two processor activation code features (2 x #4987, or 1 x #4987 and 1 x #4947) are allowed per processor card.
Each processor card contains 64KB I-cache and 64 KB D-cache per core.

Power cords

On a Power 550 Express with three or four processor cards installed, a 220V power cord is required. 5.0 GHz processor card (#4967 requires a 220V power card. You cannot use features 6460, 6470, 6471, 6651, 6660, or 6670 when three or four processor cards are are installed in the system or the 5.0 GHz processor (#4967) is installed in the system.

System memory

A minimum 1 GB of memory is required.
Eight memory DIMM slots are on a processor card. The maximum system memory with one processor card is 64 GB. The maximum system memory is 128 GB with two processor cards installed and 256 GB with four processor cards installed.
The maximum memory on a system with a 3.5 GHz (#4965) processors installed is 128 GB.
Memory must be installed in groups of 1 feature (2 DIMMs), 2 features (4 DIMMs), or 4 features (8 DIMMs) per processor card. Installation of 3 features (6 DIMMs) is not permitted.
Memory on the same processor card must be the same size and speed. Memory on different processor cards may be of different size and speed. Feature numbers 4522 and 4532 may not be mixed on the same processor card.
The system memory feature numbers may be mixed within a system.
It is recommended that memory be installed evenly across all processor cards in the system. Balancing memory across the installed processor cards allows memory access in a consistent manner and typically results in the best possible performance for your configuration.
The 16GB memory feature (#4524) is not supported on the Power 550 with the 3.5 GHz processor (#4965).
Feature numbers 4520, 4521, and 4522 will no longer be available on initial orders.
Memory features #4520, #4521, and #4522 are not orderable with processor feature #4967

Plans for future memory upgrades should be taken into account when deciding which memory feature size to use at the the time of initial system order.

I/O drawers are connected to the adapters in the CEC with the following cables:

Data transfer cables:
- RIO-2 attach cables for RIO-2 I/O drawers
- 12X cables for 12X Channel I/O drawers
Power control cables

RIO-2 I/O drawers and 12X channel I/O drawers may not be mixed in the same remote I/O loop.

Remote I/O drawer cable connections are always made in loops to help protect against a single point-of-failure resulting from an open, missing, or disconnected cable. A Power 520 or Power 550 system with nonlooped configurations could experience degraded performance and serviceability. If a nonloop connection is detected, a problem is reported.

The first I/O drawer attached in any remote I/O drawer loop requires two data transfer cables. Each additional drawer in the loop (up to the maximum allowed) requires one additional data transfer cable.

The first I/O drawer attached to a host system requires two Power Control Cables. Each additional I/O drawer added to a host system requires one additional power control cable. Each host system has one power control loop. All I/O drawers attached to a system are included in the same power control loop. Power control cable loops are different in this regard from data transfer cable loops.

Dual-Port 12X Channel Interface Adapter Options

Dual-Port 12X Channel Attach Adapter (#6446): Use the short run adapter for expansion I/O drawers located in close proximity to the host system or to other drawers in the I/O expansion loop. This adapter does not include signal repeaters.

Dual-Port 12X Channel Attach Adapter (#6457): Use the long run adapter for expansion I/O drawers located farther from the host system or other I/O drawers in the I/O expansion loop. This adapter includes signal repeaters to accommodate the longer cable lengths.

12X Cable Choice

Each 5796 drawer requires one Dual-Port 12X Channel Adapter, either Short Run (#6446) or Long Run (#6457). The choice of adapters is dependent on the distance to the next 12X Channel connection in the loop, either to another I/O drawer or the host system. The following table identifies the supported cable lengths for each 12X Channel adapter. I/O drawers containing the Short Run adapter can be mixed in a single loop with I/O drawers containing the Long Run adapter. In this table, a "Yes" indicates that the 12X cable identified in that column can be used to connect the drawer configuration identified to the left. A "No" means it cannot be used.

Note: (1) The 0.6M and 1.5M 12X cables (#1829/#1830 or #1861/#1862) has very limited use due to its short length. It cannot be used to connect to a system drawer because of the short length. It is intended for use between two 5796 drawers mounted side by side in the same enclosure (#7314). It can also be used to connect between two modules located one beneath the other in a 7014 rack. Note: (2) It is possible in some limited configurations to use the 3.0 M, 12X cable (#1840 or #1865) to locate 5796 modules in adjacent racks. The cable length requires careful management of the each drawer location within the rack. The best choice for connecting a G30 I/O Drawer in an adjacent rack is the 8.0 M, 12X cable (#1834 or #1864). Note: (3) The 8M 12X cable (#1834 or #1864) is intended for use when connecting between two modules that are located in adjacent racks. This cable may not be connected to the 12X Short Run adapter (#6446).

PCI card slots

The Power 550 Express has a maximum of five hot-plug slots.

Slot 1 is a PCIe x8 2.5 GHz short-length slot. A GX+ (583-783 MHz) or GX++ (1.56-1.75 GHz) slot shares this slot.
Slot 2 is a PCIe x8 2.5 GHz short length-slot. A GX+ (583-783 MHz) slot shares this slot.
To install a GX++ adapter in the system, two or more processor cards are required.
To install two GX+ adapters in the system, two or more processor cards are required.
Slot 3 is a PCIe x8 2.5 GHz full-length slot.
Slots 4 and 5 are PCIX DDR 266 MHz full-length slots.

Note: Optional GX+ and GX++ adapters (RIO-G and IB) are used for external DASD and I/O drawer and tower expansion.

Note: OEM cover set (#7217) and OEM bezel (#7359) are not available with IBM i operating system.

To have a supported IBM i configuration, any IBM i formatted disk drive must be protected by either mirroring (RAID 10) or by RAID-5/6. If IBM i formatted disks are used, there must be a minimum of two drives in the system unit or attached I/O drawer/tower. If IBM i uses SAN attached or virtual disk, the protection of the SAN or VIOS disk drives is used. Also, at least one DVD drive on the configuration must be accessible by IBM i, but it can be located on either inside or outside of the system unit.

RAID

Internal RAID is available on the Power 550 Express. Feature 5679 is required for internal RAID. RAID also requires a DASD Backplane with an external SAS port. Hardware RAID 0, 5, 6, and 10 are supported.

RAID 0 (minimum 2 disks) provides striping without parity for performance, but does not offer any fault tolerance. The failure of a single drive will result in the loss of all data on the array.

RAID 1 provides mirrored set (minimum 2 disks) without parity. Provides fault tolerance from disk errors and single disk failure. Increased read performance occurs when using a multi-threaded operating system that supports split seeks, very small performance reduction when writing. Array continues to operate so long as at least one drive is functioning.

RAID 5 (minimum 3 disks) uses block-level data striping with distributed parity. RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more drives. Fault tolerance is maintained by ensuring that the parity information for any given block of data is placed on a drive separate from those used to store the data itself.

RAID 6 (minimum 4 disks) uses block-level data striping with dual distributed parity, the same as RAID 5 except RAID 6 uses a second level of independently calculated and distributed parity information for additional fault tolerance. This extra fault tolerance provides data security in the event two drives fail before a drive can be replaced. RAID 6 requires N+2 drives to accommodate the additional parity data, which makes it less cost-effective than RAID 5 for equivalent storage capacity.

RAID 10 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1. In this type of implementation, a RAID 0 stripe set of data is created across a two-disk array for performance benefits. A duplicate of the first stripe is then mirrored on another two-disk array for fault tolerance.

Feature Availability Matrix

The following feature availability matrix for MT 8204 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.

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