(#2494) PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter

(No Longer Available as of December 1, 2000)

The RS/6000 PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter (#2494) is a non- bootable high-performance Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter providing RAID 0, 1, or 5 capability and can address up to forty-five 16-bit SCSI-2 physical disk drives on three independent SCSI buses.

To increase the data writing performance, a 32 MB fast-write cache is provided as a resident part of this adapter. The 32 MB fast-write cache is a resident feature of the IBM PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter that utilizes non-volatile RAM. During the unlikely event of an PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter failure, a replacement PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter can be installed and the fast-write cache can be removed from the failing adapter and installed in the new adapter helping to insure data integrity. The 32 MB fast-write cache can provide an significant improvement in data throughput and response time during certain sequence write operations compared to SCSI RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The response time and data transfer improvement will vary depending upon the data block sizes, the percentage of sequential writes, machine type/model, and application parameters.

The PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter has one internal and two external independent Ultra2 SCSI buses. The internal port can be used to provide an internal RAID solution on supporting RS/6000 systems. Systems with internal 6-pack disks can attach one PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID adapter per internal 6-pack.The two external ports provide connectivity to an IBM 2104-DL1 Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TL1 Expandable Storage Plus Tower at up to 80 MB/s SCSI bus data rate. The two external ports can also connect to the IBM 7131-105 external Fast/Wide SCSI disk enclosure via an optional VHDCI to P Converter Cable (#2118). Note: Even though the PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter has ports that run at Ultra2 SCSI speeds (up to 80 MB per second), the internally attached disk drives will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified by that supporting system backplane. Also, the externally attached 7131-105 will only run at a maximum of Fast/Wide SCSI speeds (up to 20 MB per second).

In order for full support and to take full advantage of the Ultra2 (up to 80 MB per second) speed of this adapter, the proper AIX level also needs to be considered. AIX 4.2.1 with appropriate APAR updates and 4.3.3 or later supports the full range of SCSI bus data rates (including Ultra2 SCSI up to 80 MB per second). AIX 4.3.2 only supports data rates up to 40 MB per second. Check the AIX level your system has or is able to support. Appropriate AIX APAR needed are as follows:

AIX 4.2.1 with APAR IX86638, IX86654, IX87183, IY01945, & IY02373
AIX 4.3.2 with APAR IX86395, & IX86396
AIX 4.3.3 or later

Upgrading an existing PCI 3-Channel Ultra SCSI RAID Adapter (#2494) to the later version PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter is also available after September 24, 1999. To upgrade to the Ultra2 version (up to 80 MB per second capability), a new level of microcode needs to be downloaded. To obtain this later level of microcode (3.12.00 or higher), go to the below web address and follow the microcode download procedure. AIX levels with appropriate APAR updates described above also apply in conjunction with the microcode upgrade.

(#2498) PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter

(No Longer Available as of December 10, 2004)

The RS/6000 PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter(#2498) is a non- bootable high performance Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter providing RAID 0,1,1E, 5, 5E capability and can address up to sixty 16-bit SCSI physical disk drives on four independent SCSI buses.

To increase the data writing performance, a 128 MByte fast-write cache is provided as a resident part of this adapter. The 128 MByte fast-write cache is a resident feature of the PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter that utilizes non-volatile RAM. During the unlikely event of an PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI

RAID Adapter failure, a replacement PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter can be installed and the fast-write cache can be removed from the failing adapter and installed in the new adapter insuring data integrity. The 128 MByte fast-write cache can provide an significant improvement in data throughput and response time during certain sequence write operations compared to SCSI

RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The response time and data transfer improvement will vary depending upon the data block sizes, the percentage of sequential writes, machine type/model, and application parameters.

The PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter has four independent Ultra3 SCSI buses. There are two internal ports and four external ports. The two internal ports are shared with two of the external ports. Two of the four busses can drive either an internal port or an external port. The other two busses only drive external ports. The internal ports can be used to provide an internal RAID solution on supporting RS/6000 systems. Systems with one or two internal 6-pack disks can attach to a PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter. The four external ports provide connectivity to an IBM 2104-DU3 Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TU3 Expandable Storage Plus Tower at up to 160 MB/s SCSI bus data rate. The four external ports also provide connectivity to an IBM 2104-DL1 Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TL1 Expandable Storage Plus Tower at up to 80 MB/s SCSI bus data rate.

Limitations:

The four external ports do not support the connection to the IBM 7131-105 external Fast/Wide SCSI disk enclosure.
Even though the PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter has ports that run at Ultra3 SCSI speeds (up to 160 MBytes/s) and Ultra2 SCSI speeds (up to 80MBytes/s), the internally attached disk drives will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified by that supporting system backplane.

In order for full support and to take full advantage of the Ultra3 (up to 160 MBytes/s) speed of this adapter, the proper AIX level also needs to be considered. AIX 4.3.3 with appropriate APAR updates or later AIX versions support the full range of SCSI bus data rates (including Ultra3 SCSI up to 160 MByte/s). Check the AIX level your system has or is able to support.

The IBM PCI Token-Ring Adapter is a high performance, 32 bit bus master, adapter designed to operate on selected RS/6000 models that incorporate the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus interface. Featuring an enhanced system interface for higher throughput and lower system utilization, coupled with RJ-45 and DB9 connectors, this adapter is better equipped to handle the LAN environment requirements of today's servers and high-end workstations running I/O intensive applications on the network. Additional features and support include:

Operation at either 16 Mbps or 4 Mbps over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) via the RJ-45 and the 9-pin D-shell connectors.
Automatic ring speed detection. To simplify installation and reduce network down time, the adapter automatically determines the ring speed and mode of an operating network and configures itself accord
External status light-emitting diodes (LEDs), providing visual indication of adapter and ring status without disrupting operation.
Full duplex LAN operation for simultaneously transmitting and receiving data.
The system may be booted from the IBM PCI Token-Ring Adapter.

(#4951) IBM Four Port 10/100 Ethernet Adapter

(No Longer Available as of December 10, 2004)

IBM 4-Port 10/100 Base-Tx Ethernet PCI Adapter for RS/6000 is a single slot, long, 64-bit 33 MHz PCI adapter supporting 4 industry standard Ethernet 10Base-T or 100 Base-T interfaces either half or full duplex. Each port is provided with it's own RJ-45 connector for attachment to standard CAT-3/5 Unshielded Twisted Pair, UTP cable. The adapter is IEEE 802.3u compatible and provides full auto-negotiation for detecting speed and duplex capability across each port.

Network boot capability and Network Install Manager (NIM) capability are available using this adapter if no specific limitation is stated.

The IBM 4-Port 10/100 Base-Tx Ethernet PCI Adapter (#4951) should be considered where maximum port density is required per I/O card slot. But, for high end systems, where card slots are not the limiting factor and maximum throughput is required, the single port IBM 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II (#4962) or 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter (#2968) are the preferred solutions.

Below are some performance factors to consider when choosing the right adapter for your needs. These performance comparisons are based on all four ports of the IBM 4-Port 10/100 Base-Tx Ethernet PCI Adapter (#4951) being active.

With all four ports under full bandwidth conditions, a single IBM 4-Port 10/100 Base-Tx Ethernet PCI Adapter (#4951) is expected to deliver up to 3 times the comparable performance of a single IBM 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II (#4962) or 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter (#2968).
Under most conditions, each port of the IBM 4-Port 10/100 Base-Tx Ethernet PCI Adapter (#4951) is expected to perform at greater than 50% the throughput of the single port of the IBM 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II (#4962) or 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter (#2968).

Note: The resulting performance in your environment compared to the above may vary and depends upon the RS/6000 model, the I/O configuration, and associated workload of your applications.

(#6203) - PCI Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter

(No Longer Available as of December 10, 2004)

The PCI Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter (#6203) is a 64 bit adapter and is an excellent solution for high performance SCSI applications. The PCI Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter provides 2 SCSI channels (busses). Each SCSI bus can either be internal (on systems that support internal SCSI device or backplane attachments) or external and will support a data rate of up to 160 MBytes per second, up to twice the maximum data transfer rate of the previous Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI adapter (80 MBytes per second).

In order to achieve an Ultra3 SCSI bus data rate of up to 160 MBytes per second and also maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. To fully utilize this Ultra3 160 MBytes per second performance, all attaching devices or subsystems should also be Ultra3 LVD devices. But, if Ultra2 and Ultra3 devices coexist on the same bus, each device will operate at its rated speed. For lower speed single-ended (SE) devices, the SCSI bus will switch to single-ended (SE) performance and interface at the lower SE bus data rate of the device.

Two industry-standard VHDCI 68 pin connectors are mounted on the adapter's end bracket, allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external subsystems. A .3 meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to 68 pin, (#2118) can be used with older external SE subsystems to allow connection to the VHDCI connector on the PCI Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter.

Note: If any Single Ended (SE) SCSI subsystem is attached to an external port of this adapter, the SCSI port will auto-throttle to a "Fast" interface speed running no faster than 20MB/s max. This auto-throttle function is performed to ensure best signal quality between host adapter and attaching subsystem. The second external port is unaffected unless a SE subsystem is also attached to it. If so, it would also auto-throttle as described above.

The PCI Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter (#6203) also is a native boot adapter with AIX 4.3.3 or AIX 5.1 (with appropriate updates) in the supported pSeries or RS/6000 systems.

Attributes provided: Attachment of internal SCSI devices (on systems that support an internal SCSI device or backplane attachment with this adapter) and external SCSI devices

(#6205) PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter

(No Longer Available as of December 3, 2001)

The PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter (#6205) is a 64 bit adapter and is an excellent solution for high performance SCSI applications. The PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter provides 2 SCSI channels (busses). Each SCSI bus can either be internal or external and will support a data rate of up to 80 MB per second, up to twice the maximum data transfer rate of previous Ultra SCSI adapters (40 MB per second).

In order to achieve an Ultra2 SCSI bus data rate of up to 80 MB per second and also maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. In order to utilize this Ultra2 80 MB per second performance, all attaching devices or subsystems must also be Ultra2 LVD devices. If any device is not Ultra2 LVD, the adapter will switch its SCSI bus to single-ended (SE) performance and interface at the lower SE SCSI bus data rate of the device.

Two industry standard VHDCI 68 pin connectors are mounted on the adapter's end bracket allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external subsystems. A .3 meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to 68 pin, (#2118) can be used with older external SE subsystems to allow connection to the VHDCI connector on the PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter.

Note: If any Single Ended (SE) SCSI subsystem is attached to an external port of this adapter, the SCSI ports (both the external port being attached to and its associated or shared internal port) will auto- throttle to a "Fast" interface speed running no faster than 20MB/s max. This auto-throttle function is performed to ensure best signal quality between host adapter and attaching subsystem. The second external port and its associated or shared internal port is unaffected unless a SE subystem is also attached to it. If so, it would also auto-throttle as described above.

Any supported RS/6000 system can be set up to boot from PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter (#6205). If you are running with AIX 4.3.3 or later software, this adapter has native boot support as part of that level of AIX software. If you are running with 4.2.1 software, the below procedure applies in order to boot using the PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter:

The designated boot SCSI disk can be located under the covers of a processor unit or in an external SCSI storage unit.
AIX version 4.2.1 must be loaded to the designated SCSI boot disk using AIX's Network Install Manager (NIM) before booting from the SCSI boot disk.
The system with a designated SCSI boot disk must have a network connection with another RS/6000 system performing the NIM Master function to perform the install. On RS/6000 SP systems, a similar network install is performed from a control workstation.
Once AIX with updates is installed on the designated SCSI boot disk and the system is configured for booting, booting will take place from the boot disk drive without any support from the control processor or NIM Master and the system does not have to be connected to the network at boot time.

(#6230) Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter

(No Longer Available as of June 24, 2005)

The Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter (#6230) is a 4 port (2 loop) Serial Storage Architecture (SSA) adapter providing an instantaneous data transfer rate of up to 160 MByte/s per loop. It also provides eight- initiator, non-RAID capability, two-initiator RAID 1, two-initiator RAID 0+1, two-initiator RAID 5, or one-initiator RAID 0 capability. The adapter accepts a 32 MByte Fast-Write Cache Option Card (#6235) that improves write performance in RAID 0+1, RAID 5, and non-RAID applications. When the 32 MByte Fast-Write Cache Option Card is used, the adapter can be configured in either single or dual initiator fast- write cache mode. In dual initiator fast-write cache mode, if one of the two adapters fail, the failing adapter transfers control over to the other. Also, in dual initiator Fast Write Cache mode, the 128 MByte DRAM Option Card (#6231) is available and required to utilize the full 32 MBytes of fast-write cache on the adapters. If the 128 MByte DRAM Option Card is not used in dual initiator fast-write cache mode, the effective fast-write cache capacity will be 16 MBytes on each adapter. See the 128 MByte DRAM Option Card (#6231) for information.

The Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter when operated in a RAID 5 configuration will support (2+P) to (15+P) arrays and up to 6 (15+P) arrays. When operated in a RAID 1 or RAID 0+1 configuration, it will support up to eight disk drives mirrored. The adapter also supports hot spares in RAID 5 and RAID 0+1 mode. The Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter supports connectivity to external disk enclosures and internal RS/6000 SSA configurations. Optional SSA Fiber-Optic Extender is also supported (refer to IBM 7133 sales literature for additional information).

Any supported RS/6000 system can be set up to boot from an Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter (#6230), provided a non-RAID SSA disk is included as part of the configuration. Other disks associated with the adapter can be RAID but at least one disk must be a non-RAID SSA disk. The non-RAID SSA disk can be located under the covers of a processor unit or in an external SSA storage unit. If your system is running with AIX 4.3.3 or later software, native boot capability is supported. For factory system orders with AIX preload requested, an internal SCSI disk drive will be preloaded as the native boot disk even if internal SSA disk drive(s) are present. If your system is running with AIX 4.2.1 or AIX 4.3.2 software, the below procedure applies in order to boot using the Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter:

The non-RAID SSA disk can be located under the covers of a processor unit or in an external SSA storage unit.
A supported AIX version of software (with proper updates) must be loaded to the non-RAID SSA disk using AIX's Network Install Manager (NIM) before booting from the non-RAID disk.

Once AIX with updates is installed on the non-RAID SSA disk and the system is configured for booting, booting will take place from the boot disk without any support from the control processor or NIM Master and the system does not have to be connected to the network at boot time.

A 3-Way Copy Function is available. This 3-Way Copy Function allows a user to create a third copy to an existing RAID-1 or RAID 0+1 array while mirrored operation continues 3-Way Copy allows the user, at any time after the copy process has completed, to split the third copy off from the original RAID-1 or RAID 0+1 array to form an independent RAID copy. This third copy or "snapshot" copy could be typically used to perform a backup or to test some new application. The 3-Way Copy Function is available only via a code download and can only be gained by going to the SSA web support pages defined below.

(#6231) 128 MByte DRAM Option Card

(No Longer Available as of June 24, 2005)

The 128 MByte DRAM Option Card (#6231) is a field only optional feature to the Advanced SerialRAID Adapter (#6225) or a factory or field option for the Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter (#6230). This option is recommended for dual initiator fail-over Fast Write Cache (FWC) configurations. The option increases the existing DRAM on the adapter to 128 MBytes. In this type of dual initiator FWC configuation, the existing DRAM does not have enough capacity to completely contain a copy of each adapter's 32 MByte FWC and also provide additional working space. The 128 MByte DRAM Option Card provides this additional space needed to contain a full copy of each adapters 32 MByte FWC content and allows for full 32 MByte fail-over protection. If the 128 MByte DRAM Option Card (#6231) is not used with dual-initiator FWC configurations, the effective FWC capacity is reduced to 16 MBytes per adapter.

If this feature is ordered as a field upgrade to an existing SerialRAID adapter (#6225 or 6230), a CD-ROM with appropriate software and publications are also provided.

It utilizes non-volatile RAM. During the unlikely event of an Advanced SerialRAID Adapter failure, a replacement Advanced SerialRAID Adapter can be installed and the fast-write cache can be removed from the failing adapter and installed in the new adapter helping to ensure data integrity. The 32 MByte Fast-Write Cache Option Card can provide a significant improvement of data throughput and response time during certain sequence write operations compared to SSA RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The response time and data transfer improvement using the optional card will vary depending upon the data block sizes, the percentage of sequential writes, machine type/model, and application parameters. The 32 MByte Fast-Write Cache Option Card plugged into the Advanced SerialRAID Adapter (# 6225) will operate in either non-RAID or RAID 5 mode, in single-initiator configurations.
