Description

The innovative IBM Power 780 server with POWER7 processors is a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), rack-mounted server. This modular-built system uses one to four enclosures; each enclosure is four EIA units tall, and is housed in a 19-inch rack. Each of the four system enclosures contains one powerful POWER7 processor card, comprised of two single-chip module processors. Each of the POWER7 processors in this server has 64-bit architecture and includes up to eight cores on a single-chip module (SCM), and contains 2 MB of L2 cache (256 KB per core) and 32 MB of L3 cache (4 MB per core). Each POWER7 SCM processor is available at frequencies of 3.86 GHz with eight cores and 4.14 GHz with four cores. This model server is available starting as low as four active cores and incrementing one core at a time through built-in Capacity on Demand (CoD) functions.

What makes the Power 780 truly unique is the ability to switch between its standard throughput optimized mode and its unique TurboCore mode, where performance per core is boosted with access to both additional cache and additional clock speed. Based on the user's configuration option, any Power 780 system can be booted in standard mode, enabling up to a maximum of 64 processor cores running at 3.86 GHz, or in TurboCore mode, enabling up to 32 processor cores running at 4.14 GHz and twice the cache per core.

The POWER7 DDR3 memory uses a memory architecture to provide greater bandwidth and capacity. This enables operating at a higher data rate for large memory configurations. Each new POWER7 processor can support up to eight DDR3 DIMMs running at speeds up to 1,066 MHz. A full system can contain up to 2.0 TB of memory. Memory can be augmented with the optional Active Memory expansion.

A 3.86 Ghz, eight core can increase to 3.948 GHz.

Processors

  •  

  • The following SMP and FSP cable features are required to connect the processors together when connecting two-, three-, and four-drawer CEC enclosures. When using Hot Node Add to add enclosures, the enclosures must be added serially (one to two, two to three, three to four). Please note that when moving from one to three or four enclosures, the SMP cable feature #3711 must be added then discarded.
                           SMP Cables         FSP Cables
              Two-drawer   3711, 3712         3671
              Three-drawer 3712, 3713         3671, 3672
              Four-drawer  3712, 3713, 3714   3671, 3672, 3673
               

  • A system can have from one to four CEC enclosures, and each CEC enclosure requires one processor card. Each processor card has two SCM processors.

     

  • The processor card feature must be populated with POWER7 DDR3 Memory DIMMs.

     

  • All processor cards in the system must have the same feature number.

     

  • Each system must have a minimum of four active processors.

     

  • Processor Capacity on Demand activations will activate processor hardware only in the system serial number they are purchased for. If you move processor hardware to another system the processor may not be functional in that system until arrangements are made to move the processor activations or purchase additional processor activations. Contact your IBM representative or IBM Business Partner for more information.

     

  • Processor #4982 can run in standard or TurboCore mode. TurboCore mode restricts the system from utilizing all of the processor cores in the system. A maximum of half of the physical cores can be utilized when in TurboCore mode. To utilize more than 50% of the processors present in the system, switch the system out of TurboCore mode and reboot the system. The entire system must operate in either standard or TurboCore mode.

Memory

  •  

  • Each processor card feature must have a minimum of one memory feature (one feature per processor card) installed. This includes inactive processor card features present in the system.

     

  • Memory features include a total of four DIMMs. There is a required plug location for every memory feature attached to a processor.

     

  • All POWER7 memory features must be purchased with sufficient permanent memory activation features so that the system memory is at least 50% active.

     

  • Each system must contain a minimum of 16 GB of active system memory.

     

  • Memory features 5600, 5601, and 5602 can be mixed on the same POWER7 processor module. Frequencies must be the same across the memory controller (4 DIMM slots).

     

  • All processor cards have 16 memory DIMM slots (eight per processor) and must be populated with POWER7 DDR3 Memory DIMMs.

     

  • Memory Capacity on Demand activations will activate memory hardware only in the system serial number they are purchased for. If you move memory hardware to another system, the memory may not be functional in that system until arrangements are made to move the memory activations or purchase additional memory activations. Contact your IBM representative or IBM Business Partner for more information.

     

  • 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.

     

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

I/O Drawer availability

  •  

  • To further reduce possible single points of failure, POWER7 implements enhanced disk storage configuration rules. IBM configuration tools and IBM technical support personnel do not support integrated cached disk controller configurations unless they have a protected write cache. Disk controllers with write cache must protect the cache by either pairing the disk controllers (write cache replication or IOA-level mirroring) or by using an auxiliary write cache IOA. This is true for all partitions in the Power 780 using any operating systems.

     

  • It is recommended that any attached remote I/O drawers be located in the same rack as the Power 780 server for ease of service, but they can be installed in separate racks if the application or other rack content requires it.

     

  • The following is a list of the I/O drawers that are supported or available on the model 780, with the correct interface to use for each of the drawers and the maximum number of attached I/O drawers:
                   Order                                                Maximum

The following I/O drawer features are available on the Power 780:

PCI-X DDR 12X Expansion Drawer (#5796)

The PCI-X DDR 12X Expansion Drawer (#5796) is a 4 EIA unit tall drawer and mounts in a 19-inch rack. Feature 5796 is 8.8 inches wide and takes up half the width of the 4 EIA rack space. Feature 5796 requires the use of a #7314 drawer mounting enclosure. The 4 EIA tall enclosure can hold up to two #5796 drawers mounted side by side in the enclosure. The drawer is 31.5 inches deep and can weigh up to 44 pounds. The PCI-X DDR 12X Expansion Drawer has six 64-bit, 3.3V, PCI-X DDR slots running at 266 MHz that use blind swap cassettes and support hot plugging of adapter cards. The drawer includes redundant hot-plug power and cooling. The client must select one of the two available interface adapters for use in the #5796 drawer: the Dual-Port 12X Channel Attach Adapter -- Long Run (#6457) or the Dual-Port 12X Channel Attach Adapter -- Short Run (#6446). The adapter selection is based on how close the host system or the next I/O drawer in the loop is physically located. Feature #5796 attaches to a host system CEC enclosure with a 12X adapter in a GX++ slot via SDR and/or DDR cables. A maximum of four feature 5796 drawers can be placed on the same 12X loop. Mixing features 5802/5877 and 5796 on the same loop is not supported. Mixing #5796 and 7314-G30 on the same loop is supported with a maximum of four drawers total per loop. A minimum configuration of two 12X cables (either SDR or DDR), two AC power cables, and two SPCN cables is required to ensure proper redundancy.

PCIe 12X I/O Drawer (#5802 and #5877)

The PCIe 12X I/O drawer is a 19-inch I/O and storage drawer. It provides a 4 EIA unit tall drawer containing ten PCIe-based I/O adapter slots and eighteen SAS hot-swap Small Form Factor disk bays, which can be used for either disk drives or SSD, organized into two groups of nine. Each group of disk slots is controlled by one or two PCIe SAS storage adapters located in a PCIe slot in the same #5802 as the SAS drives. A maximum of two #5802 drawers can be placed on the same 12X loop. Mixing #5802 and #5796/7314-G30 on the same loop is not supported. Feature #5877 is the same as #5802 except it does not support any disk bays. Feature #5877 can be on the same loop as #5802. Feature #5877 can not be upgraded to #5802. The physical dimensions of the drawer measure 17.5 inches (444.5 mm) wide by 7.0 inches (177.8 mm) high by 28.0 inches (711.2 mm) deep for use in a 19-inch rack. The adapter slots use blind swap cassettes and support hot plugging of adapter cards. A minimum configuration of two 12X DDR cables, two DC power cables, and two SPCN cables is required to ensure proper redundancy. The drawer attaches to the host CEC enclosure with a 12X adapter in a GX slot via 12X DDR cables available in different cable lengths: 0.6 (#1861), 1.5 (#1862), 3.0 (#1865), or 8 meters (#1864). The 12X SDR cables are not supported.

Exp 12S SAS Drawer (#5886)

The EXP 12S SAS Drawer (#5886) is a 2 EIA tall drawer and mounts in a 19-inch rack. The drawer can hold either SAS disk drives or SSDs. The drawer is 20.12 inches long and can weigh up to 40 pounds, without SAS disks. The EXP 12S SAS Drawer has twelve 3.5-inch SAS bays with redundant data paths to each bay. The drawer supports redundant hot-plug power and cooling and redundant hot-swap SAS expanders (Enclosure Services Manager, or ESM). Each ESM has an independent SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) diagnostic processor.

The SAS disk drives or SSDs contained in the EXP12S are controlled by one or two PCIe SAS adapters connected to the EXP12S via SAS cables. The SAS cable will vary depending on the adapter being used, the operating system being used, and the protection desired.

  • The large cache PCI-X #5908 uses a SAS Y-cable when a single port is running the EXP12S. A SAS X-cable is used when a pair of adapters are used for controller redundancy.

  • The medium cache PCI-X #5902 and PCIe #5903 adapters are always paired and use a SAS X-cable to attach the #5886 I/O drawer.

  • The zero cache PCI-X #5912 and PCIe #5901 use a SAS Y-cable when a single port is running the EXP12S. A SAS X-cable is used for AIX/Linux environments when a pair of adapters are used for controller redundancy.

In all of the above configurations, all 12 SAS bays are controlled by a single controller or a single pair of controllers.

A second EXP12S drawer can be attached to another drawer using two SAS EE cables providing 24 SAS bays instead of 12 bays for the same SAS controller port. This is called "cascading." In this configuration all 24 SAS bays are controlled by a single controller or a single pair of controllers.

The #5886 can also be directly attached to the SAS port on the rear of the Power 780, providing a very-low-cost disk storage solution. When used this way, the embedded SAS RAID controllers augmented by the 175 MB Cache RAID (#5662) in the system unit control the disk drives in EXP12S. A second unit can not be cascaded to a #5886 attached in this way.

12X I/O Drawer Cables

  • I/O drawers are connected to the adapters in the CEC enclosure with the following cables: data transfer cables (12X DDR cables for the #5802 and #5877 I/O drawers and 12X SDR and/or DDR cables for the #5796 and 7314-G30 I/O drawers) and power control cables.

  • The first 12X I/O drawer attached in any 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 12X I/O drawer attached to a system unit requires two power control cables. Each additional I/O drawer added to a system requires one additional power control cable. Each 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.

  • PCIe 12X cable choices: The PCIe 12x drawer attaches to the host CEC enclosure with a 12x adapter in a GX++ slot via 12X DDR cables available in different cable lengths: 1.5 (#1862), 3.0 (#1865), or 8 meters (#1864).

  • PCI-X DDR 12X cable choices: Each 5796 drawer requires one Dual-Port PCI-X DDR 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 system unit. The following table identifies the supported cable lengths for each 12X channel adapter. I/O drawers containing the Short Range adapter can be mixed in a single loop with I/O drawers containing the Long Range 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.

5796 with 12X Short Run adapter (#6446) to system unit No Yes Yes No
5796 with 12X Long Run adapter (#6457) to system unit No Yes Yes Yes

Note:(1) The PCI-X DDR 12X cable (#1829 or #1861 or #1862) is limited to connecting two drawers or server to drawer if in the same rack and within 20 EIA; It 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 feature #5796 or G30 drawers mounted side by side in the same enclosure (#7314). It can also be used to connect two modules located one beneath the other in a 7014 rack.

Note:(2) The PCI-X DDR 12X cable (#1840 or #1865) is limited to connecting CEC to drawer if in the same rack and further than 20 EIA; 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 each drawer location within the rack. The best choice for connecting a feature #5796 or G30 I/O Drawer in an adjacent rack is the 8.0 M, 12X cable (#1834 or #1864).

Note:(3) The PCI-X DDR 12X cable (#1834 or #1864) is limited to connecting CEC to drawer if in different racks. It is intended for use when connecting two modules that are located in adjacent racks. This cable may not be connected to the 12X Short Run adapter (#6446).

19-Inch Racks

The 9179-MHB and its I/O drawer features are designed to mount in the 7014-T00, -T42, -B42, #0551, and #0553 racks. These are built to the 19-inch EIA standard. When ordering a new 9179 system the appropriate 7014 rack model can be ordered with the system hardware on the same initial order. IBM also makes the racks available as features of the 9179-MHB when you order additional I/O drawer hardware for an existing system (MES order). The rack features #0551 and #0553 should be used if you want IBM to integrate the newly ordered I/O drawer in a 19-inch rack before shipping the MES order.

The 9179-MHB has the following rack requirements:

  • The Power 780 may be ordered without a rack.

  • The Power 780 consists of one to four CEC enclosures. Each enclosure occupies 4U of vertical rack space. The Power 780 is designed to be installed in a 7014-T00, -T42, or -B42 rack and shipped from IBM to the client. An existing 7014-T00, -T42, -B42, #0551, or #0553 rack can be used for the Power 780 if sufficient space and power are available.

  • The 36 EIA unit (1.8 meter) rack (#0551) and the 42 EIA unit (2.0 meter) rack (#0553) are available for order on MES upgrade orders only. For initial system orders, the racks should be ordered as machine type 7014, model T00, T42, or B42.

  • For Power 780 configurations with two, three, or four drawers, all drawers must be installed together in the same rack, in a contiguous space of 8U, 12U, or 16U within the rack. The uppermost enclosure in the system is the base enclosure. This enclosure will contain the active Service Processor and the Operator Panel, if an Operator Panel is present in the system. If a second CEC enclosure is part of the system, the backup service processor is contained in the second CEC enclosure. The service processor is a component of the Service Interface Card in these enclosures.

  • When a Power 780 server is installed in a 7014-T00, -T42, or -B42 rack that has no front door, a Thin Profile Front Trim Kit must be ordered for the rack. The required trim kit for the 7014-T00 rack is feature number 6263. The required trim kit for the 7014-T42, -B42 or feature rack is feature number 6272. When upgrading from a 9117-MMA, trim kit 6246 or 6247 may be used for one drawer enclosure only.

  • The design of the Power 780 is optimized for use in a 7014-T00, -T42, -B42, #0551, or #0553 rack. Both the front cover and the processor flex cables occupy space on the front left and right sides of an IBM 7014 or #055x rack that may not be available in typical non-IBM racks.

  • Acoustic Door features are available with the 7014-T00, -T42, -B42, #0551, and #0553 racks to meet the lower acoustic levels identified in the specification section of this document. The Acoustic Door feature can be ordered on new T00, T42, B42, #0551, and #0553 racks or ordered for the T00, T42, B42, #0551, and #0553 racks that clients already own.

  • A Power 780 door (#6250) is available on the 7014-T42 rack.

1.8 Meter Rack (#0551)

The 1.8 Meter Rack (0551) is a 36 EIA unit rack. The rack that is delivered as #0551 is the same rack delivered when you order the 7014-T00 rack; the included features may be different. Some features that are delivered as part of the 7014-T00 must be ordered separately with the #0551. Order the #0551 only when required to support rack integration of MES orders prior to shipment from IBM.

2.0 Meter Rack (#0553)

The 2.0 Meter Rack (#0553) is a 42 EIA unit rack. The rack that is delivered as #0553 is the same rack delivered when you order the 7014-T42 or -B42 rack; the included features may be different. Some features that are delivered as part of the 7014-T42 or -B42 must be ordered separately with the #0553. Order the #0553 only when required to support rack integration of MES orders prior to shipment from IBM.

1.3 Meter Rack (#0555)

The 1.3 Meter Rack (#0555) is a 25 EIA unit rack. The rack that is delivered as feature #0555 is the same rack delivered when you order the 7014-S25 rack; the included features may be different.

Integrated I/O

  • Each CEC enclosure must contain one Virtual Ethernet (HEA) Integrated I/O port card (#1803, #1804, or #1813).

  • Each system has two HMC ports on the Service Interface Card in each CEC enclosure (maximum four ports per system). If there are two CEC enclosures, the HMC must be connected to both service interface cards. There are no HMC ports in CEC enclosures three or four.

Disks, media, and boot devices

  • A device capable of reading a DVD must be attached to the system and available to perform operating system installation, maintenance, problem determination, and service actions such as maintaining system firmware and I/O microcode at their latest levels. Alternatively, the system must be attached to a network with an AIX NIM server configured to perform these functions.

  • System boot is supported via DASD or SSD located in the CEC enclosure, located in a DASD drawer attached to a PCI adapter or located in a 12X I/O drawer attached to a GX++ adapter, or from a network via LAN adapters.

  • The minimum system configuration requires at least one SAS disk drive in the system for AIX and Linux and two for IBM i, or if using a Fibre Channel attached SAN (indicated by feature number 0837) a disk drive is not required. Attachment of the SAN using a Fibre Channel over Ethernet connection is also supported.

  • Each CEC enclosure can support one media device when the Disk/Media Enclosure and Backplane feature (#5652) is ordered. Any supported DVD-RAM drive can be installed. Each system can support up to four media devices in the CEC enclosure -- a maximum of one in each enclosure.

  • The model MHB supports only the SAS SFF DASD hard disks internally. The 3.5-inch DASD hard files can be attached to the model MHB but must be located in a #5886 EXP12S I/O drawer.

  • When ordering feature #1819, you must also order #5662. This applies to MES orders of #1819 unless #5662 is already present in the same CEC drawer. Feature #1815 and #5662 cannot be installed in the same drawer. Feature #1819 must not be installed in a drawer unless #5662 is also installed.

I/O slots and adapters

  • Each Power 780 CEC enclosure has six full-length, 8X, PCIe slots and two GX++ slots.
  • There is a maximum of eight I/O expansion slots per enclosure (32 maximum per system):
                    Slot ID   Adapter  Type  Slot Size
                    -------   -------  ----  -----------
                    P2-C1     PCIe     8X    Full length
                    P2-C2     PCIe     8X    Full length
                    P2-C3     PCIe     8X    Full length
                    P2-C4     PCIe     8X    Full length
                    P2-C5     PCIe     8X    Full length
                    P2-C6     PCIe     8X    Full length
                    P1-C2     GX++
                    P1-C3     GX++
               
  • The Power 780 I/O slot population rules are complex. Extensive configuration rules and checking procedures are incorporated into the Marketing Configurator ECFGPWR to help ensure a valid system configuration. Configurations generated without using the ECFGPWR configurator may create orders that cannot be built, resulting in possible order rejection or delayed delivery.
  • Feature maximum limits in the feature descriptions of this document for adapters and devices may not provide optimal system performance. These limits are given to assist with connectivity and functional assurance. The maximum values shown here apply to the features installed in the system CEC enclosures. Adding remote I/O drawers will increase these limits.

Power

  • Each Power 780 server with two or more CEC enclosures must have one Power Control Cable (#6006 or similar) to connect the Service Interface Card in the first enclosure to the Service Interface Card in the second enclosure.

  • Two AC power supplies are required for each CEC enclosure; the second power supply provides redundant power for enhanced system availability. A CEC enclosure will continue to function with one working power supply. A failed power supply can be hot swapped but must remain in the system until the replacement power supply is available for exchange.

Power Distribution Units

For systems installed in IBM 7014 or #055x racks, the following Power Distribution Unit (PDU) rules apply (not all PDUs are available in all models of the 7014 or #055x):

  • For PDU features 7188 and 7109 when using power cord feature 6654, 6655, 6656, 6657, or 6658: Each pair of PDUs can power up to three Power 780 CEC enclosures.

  • For PDU features 7188 and 7109 when using power cord feature 6489, 6491, 6492, or 6653: Each pair of PDUs can power up to six Power 780 CEC enclosures.

To provide full redundancy, each server drawer has two power supplies, which must be connected to separate PDUs.

Hot-plug options

  • The following options are hot-plug capable:
    • GX++ adapters.
    • System AC power supplies: One functional power supply must remain installed at all times while the system is operating.
    • Disk drives.
    • Most PCIe adapters.
    • Media devices.

  • Hot-plug procedures are contained in the Customer Information Center on IBM.com.

  • If the system boot device or system console is attached using an I/O adapter feature, that adapter may not be hot-plugged.

Logical partitioning

  • Without PowerVM, Dynamic LPAR allows one partition per processor.
  • With PowerVM up to 10 partitions per processor (maximum 640 per server). Supported when PowerVM (#7942 or #7995) is ordered.
  • For Linux partitions, a DVD-RAM and a Media Enclosure and Backplane (#5652) are required.

Available backplane configurations

The CEC drawer has an extremely flexible and powerful backplane for supporting disk or Solid State Drives. The six SFF bays can be configured in three different ways to match your business needs. There are two built-in SAS controllers which can be optionally augmented with a 175 MB Cache RAID - Dual IOA enablement Card (#5662). Two embedded SAS disk/SSD controllers are provided for redundancy or for additional flexibility. The optional 175MB Cache RAID - Dual IOA Enablement Card (#5662) enables dual 175MB write cache and provides dual batteries for protection of that write cache.

The backplane can be configured as one set of six bays, two sets of three bays (3/3), or three sets of two bays (2/2/2). Configuration options will vary depending upon the controller options and the operating system selected. The controllers for the six-bay (3/3) configurations are always the two embedded controllers. But if the 2/2/2 configuration is used, the two embedded controllers run the first two sets of bays (2/2) and a #5901 PCIe SAS adapter located in a PCIe slot in a CEC enclosure controls the third set (2). By having three controllers, you can have three boot drives supporting three partitions.

The following SSD/HDD configuration rules apply:

  • You can mix SSD and HDD drives when configured as one set of six bays.

  • If you want to have both SSD and HDD within a 3/3 split configuration, you must use the same type of drive within each set of three. You can not mix SSD and HDD within a subset of three bays.

  • If you want to have both SSD and HDD within a 2/2/2 split configuration, you must use the same type of drive within each set of two. You can not mix SSD and HDD within a subset of two bays. The #5901 PCIe SAS adapter that controls the remaining two bays in a 2/2/2 configuration does not support SSD.

You can configure the two embedded controllers together as a pair for higher redundancy or you can configure them separately. If you configure them separately, they can be owned by different partitions or they could be treated independently within the same partition. If configured as a pair, they provide controller redundancy and can automatically switch over to the other controller should one have problems. Also, if configured as a pair, both can be active at the same time (active/active) assuming there are two or more arrays configured, providing additional performance capability as well as redundancy. If configured as a pair, the pair controls all six SFF bays and both see all six drives. The 3/3 and 2/2/2 configurations are not used with the paired controllers. RAID 0 and RAID 10 are supported and you can also mirror two sets of controller/drives using the operating system.

Adding the optional 175 MB Cache RAID - Dual IOA Enablement Card (#5662) causes the pair of embedded controllers in that CEC drawer to be configured as dual controllers, accessing all six SAS drive bays. Without the #5662, each of the two controllers can access only two or three SAS drive bays. With the 175 MB Cache RAID - Dual IOA Enablement Card, you can get controller redundancy, additional RAID protection options, and additional I/O performance. RAID 5 (a minimum of three drives required) and RAID 6 (a minimum of four drives required) are available when configured as dual controllers with one set of six bays.

Another expansion option available using the paired embedded controller configuration with the 175 MB Cache RAID - Dual IOA Enablement Card feature is a SAS expansion port. The SAS expansion port can add more SAS bays to the six bays in the system unit. A #5886 SAS disk drawer is attached using a SAS port on the rear of the processor drawer and its twelve SAS bays are run by the pair of embedded controllers. The pair of embedded controllers are now running 18 SAS bays (six SFF bays in the system unit and twelve 3.5-inch bays in the drawer). The disk drawer is attached to the SAS port with a SAS YI cable and the embedded controllers are connected to the port using a #1819 cable assembly. In this 18-bay configuration all drives must be HDD.

IBM i supports configurations using one set of six bays but does not support logically splitting the backplane into 3/3 or 2/2/2. Thus, the 175 MB Cache RAID - Dual IOA Enablement Card (#5662) is required if IBM i is to access any of the SAS bays in that CEC drawer. AIX and Linux support configurations using two sets of three bays (3/3) or three sets of two bays (2/2/2) without #5662. With #5662, they support dual controllers running one set of six bays.

The system backplane also includes a third embedded controller for running the DVD-RAM drive in the CEC drawer. Since the controller is independent from the two SAS disk/SSD controllers, it allows the DVD to be switched between multiple partitions without impacting the assignment of disk or SSD in the CEC drawer.

Capacity on Demand

Several types of Capacity on Demand (CoD) are optionally available on the Power 780 server to help meet changing resource requirements in an on demand environment by using resources installed on the system but not activated.

Capacity Upgrade On Demand

Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) allows you to purchase additional permanent processor or memory capacity and dynamically activate it when needed.

On/Off Capacity on Demand

On/Off CoD enables processors or memory to be temporarily activated in full-day increments as needed. Charges are based on usage reporting collected monthly. Processors and memory may be activated and turned off an unlimited number of times, whenever you want additional processing resources. This offering provides a system administrator an interface at the HMC to manage the activation and deactivation of resources. A monitor that resides on the server logs the usage activity. You must send this usage data to IBM monthly. A bill is then generated based on the total amount of processor and memory resources utilized, in increments of Processor and Memory (1 GB) Days. Before using temporary capacity on your server, you must enable your server. To do this, order an enablement feature (MES only) and sign the required contracts.

If a Power 780 server uses the IBM i operating system in addition to any other supported operating system on the same server, you must inform the sales team placing the billing feature order which operating system caused the temporary On/Off CoD processor use so that the correct feature can be used for billing.

The following features are used to order enablement codes and support billing charges on the Power 780:

                                                       IBM i
                             On/Off CoD   On/Off CoD   On/Off CoD

The On/Off CoD process consists of three steps: Enablement, Activation, and Billing.

  1. On/Off CoD Enablement: Description

    Before requesting temporary capacity on a server, you must "enable" it for On/Off CoD. To do this, order an enablement feature (MES only) and sign the required contracts. IBM will generate an enablement code, mail it to you, and post it on the Web for you to retrieve and enter on your server. A processor enablement code lets you request up to 360 processor days of temporary capacity. If you have reached the limit of 360 processor days, place an order for another processor enablement code to reset the number of days you can request to 360. A memory enablement code lets you request up to 999 memory days of temporary capacity. If you have reached the limit of 999 memory days, place an order for another memory enablement code to reset the number of days you can request to 999.

    On/Off CoD Enablement: Step-by-Step

    Prerequisite 1: The sales channel (IBM Business Partner) must sign one of the following contracts, if applicable:

    • IBM Business Partner Agreement, Distributor Attachment for On/Off Capacity On Demand

    • IBM Business Partner Agreement for Solution Providers -- Attachment for On/Off Capacity On Demand

    • IBM Business Partner Agreement -- Attachment for On/Off Capacity On Demand

    Prerequisite 2: The sales channel (IBM Business Partner or IBM Direct) must register at the following Web site:

    http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/ondemand/cod
    • Step 1: The client initiates the request for On/Off CoD use by asking the sales channel to enable the machine for temporary capacity.

    • Step 2: The client must complete and sign the following contracts. It is the sales channel's responsibility to return the signed contract to the responsible CSO organization and fax a copy to IBM at 507-253-4553 or e-mail a copy to tcod@us.ibm.com.
      • Required: IBM Customer Agreement, Attachment for On/Off Capacity On Demand; IBM Supplement for On/Off Capacity On Demand

      • Optional: IBM Addendum for On/Off Capacity On Demand Alternative Reporting

    • Step 3: The sales channel places an order for processor or memory enablement features.

    • Step 4: The sales channel updates the Web site registration data (see prerequisite 2 above) with information about the customer machine being enabled for temporary capacity. Note. The order for an enablement feature will not be fulfilled until this step is completed.

    • Step 5: IBM generates an enablement code, mails it, and posts it.

    • Step 6: The customer retrieves the enablement code and applies it to the server.

  2. On/Off Activation Requests: Description

    When On/Off CoD temporary capacity is needed, simply use the HMC menu for On/Off CoD and specify how many of the inactive processors or how many GB of memory you would like temporarily activated for some number of days. You will be billed for the days requested, whether the capacity is assigned to partitions or left in the shared processor pool. At the end of the temporary period (days you requested), you must ensure the temporarily activated capacity is available to be reclaimed by the server (not assigned to partitions), or you will be billed for any unreturned processor days (per the contract you signed).

    On/Off CoD Activation Requests: Step-by-Step

    When there is a need for temporary capacity, use the On/Off CoD temporary capacity HMC menu for the server and specify how many of the inactive processors or how many GB of memory you would like temporarily activated for some number of days. The user must assign the temporary capacity to a partition (whether or not the machine is configured for LPAR) to begin using temporary capacity.

  3. On/Off CoD Billing: Description

    The contract, signed by the client before receiving the enablement code, requires On/Off CoD user to report billing data at least once a month (whether there is activity or not). This data is used to determine the proper amount to bill at the end of each billing period (calendar quarter). Failure to report billing data for use of temporary processor or memory capacity during a billing quarter will result in default billing equivalent to 90 processor days of temporary capacity. The sales channel will be notified of customer requests for temporary capacity. As a result, the sales channel must order a quantity of billing features (one feature for each billable processor and memory day reported).

    On/Off CoD billing: Step-by-step

    The client must report billing data (requested and unreturned processor and memory days) at a minimum of once per month either electronically or via fax (stated requirement in the signed contract). At the end of each billing period (calendar quarter), IBM will process the accumulated data reported and notify the sales channel for proper billing. The sales channel places an order for the appropriate quantity of billing features (one processor billing feature ordered for each processor day used, or one memory day for each memory day utilized). IBM will ship a billing notice (notifies customer of billing actions) to the ship-to address on the order as part of the fulfillment process. The customer pays the sales channel and the sales channel pays IBM for the fulfillment of the billing features.

Utility CoD

Utility CoD autonomically provides additional processor performance on a temporary basis within the shared processor pool. Utility CoD enables you to place a quantity of inactive processors into the server's shared processor pool, which then becomes available to the pool's resource manager. When the server recognizes that the combined processor utilization within the shared pool exceeds 100% of the level of base (purchased/active) processors assigned across uncapped partitions, then a Utility CoD Processor Minute is charged and this level of performance is available for the next minute of use. If additional workload requires a higher level of performance, the system will automatically allow the additional Utility CoD processors to be used and the system automatically and continuously monitors and charges for the performance needed above the base (permanent) level. Registration and usage reporting for Utility CoD is made using a public Web site and payment is based on reported usage. Utility CoD requires PowerVM Standard Edition (#7942) or PowerVM Enterprise Edition (#7995) to be active on the 9179-MHB.

If a Power 780 server uses the IBM i operating system in addition to any other supported operating system on the same server, the client must inform the sales team placing the billing feature order which operating system caused the temporary Utility CoD processor use so that the correct feature can be used for billing.

                 Utility
                 Billing
                 Processor

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/support/powercare/

Model upgrades

You can upgrade the 9117-MMA with IBM POWER6 or POWER6+ processors to the IBM Power 780 with POWER7 processors. For upgrades from POWER6 or POWER6+ processor-based systems IBM will install new CEC enclosures to replace the enclosures you currently have. Your current CEC enclosures will be returned to IBM in exchange for the financial considerations that are identified under the applicable feature conversions for each upgrade.

Clients taking advantage of the model upgrade offer from a POWER6 or POWER6+ processor-based system are required to return all components of the serialized MT-model that were not ordered via feature numbers. 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 features from the CEC enclosures that were not involved in a feature conversion transaction.

Upgrade considerations

Feature conversions have been set up for the following:

  • POWER6 and POWER6+ processors to POWER7 processors
  • DDR2 memory DIMMs to DDR3 memory DIMMs
  • Trim kits (a new trim kit is needed when upgrading to a two-, three-, or four-drawer system)
  • Enterprise enablement

The following features present on the current system can be moved to the new system:

  • PCIe adapters with cables
  • Line cords, keyboards, and displays
  • PowerVM (#7942 and #7995)
  • I/O drawers (#5786, #5796, #5802, #5877, and #5886)
  • Racks (#0551, #0553, and #0555)
  • Doors (#6068, #6069, #6248, #6249, and #6858)
  • Trim kits (#6246 and #6247) - for one-drawer configurations only or for racks holding only I/O and no 780 processor enclosures
  • SATA DVD-RAM (#5762)

The Power 780 can support the following drawers:

  • #5802 and #5877 PCIe 12X I/O drawers
  • #5796 and 7413-G30 PCI-X (12X) I/O Drawer
  • #5786 and 7031-D24 TotalStorage EXP24 SCSI Disk Drawer
  • #5886 EXP12S SAS Disk Drawer

The model MHB supports only the SAS DASD SFF hard disks internally. The older 3.5-inch DASD hard disks can be attached to the model MHB but must be located in an I/O drawer.

For POWER6 or POWER6+ processor-based servers that have the On/Off CoD function enabled, you must reorder the On/Off enablement features (#7951 and 7954) when placing the upgrade MES order for the new Power 780 server to keep the On/Off CoD function active. The On/Off enablement features should be removed from the configuration file before the MES order is started to initiate the model upgrade. Any temporary use of processors or memory owed to IBM on the existing system must be paid before installing the new Power 780 model MHB.

Feature number 8018 is available to support migration of the PowerVM feature 7942 during the initial order and build of the upgrade MES MHB order. Customers may add 8018 to their upgrade orders in a quantity not to exceed the quantity of feature 7942 obtained for the system being upgraded. The 7942 feature number should be migrated to the new configuration report in a quantity that equals 8018. Additional 7942 features can be ordered during the upgrade.

IBM supports up to four concurrent migrations of dedicated memory partitions from the source system to the target system. In rare cases, a migration may have to be re-tried if the mobility operation times out. The small probability of a retry can be further reduced by migrating one dedicated memory partition at a time. Active Memory Sharing (AMS) partitions should always be migrated one at a time.

PowerVM

PowerVM is available on the 9179-MHB:

  • PowerVM Editions are available as a hardware feature (#7942 for Standard Edition, #7995 for Enterprise Edition). Clients select the feature that provides the level of virtualization appropriate for their workloads.

  • Micro-partitioning allows a single processor core to be shared by up to 10 logical partitions (maximum 640 per server).

  • Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) is a single-function appliance that resides in an IBM POWER5, POWER6, or POWER7 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 logical partitions.

  • With virtual networking, a shared Ethernet adapter enables connectivity between internal and external virtual LANs (VLANs); virtual Ethernet provides high-speed connections between partitions.

  • PowerVM Lx86 supports running most x86 Linux applications within Linux partitions.

  • Live Partition Mobility, available only with PowerVM Enterprise Edition, will allow you to move a running AIX or Linux LPAR from one physical server to another with no downtime if both servers are using POWER6 or POWER7 processors. This capability can be used to evacuate workloads from a system before performing scheduled maintenance, to move workloads across a pool of different physical resources as business needs shift, and to move workloads away from underutilized machines so that they can be powered off to save on energy and cooling costs.

  • Active Memory Sharing allows memory to be dynamically moved between running partitions for optimal resource usage.

PowerVM Editions

  • PowerVM Standard Edition (#7942) supports up to 10 partitions per core (maximum 640 per server), VIOS, PowerVM Lx86 and multiple shared processor pools.

  • PowerVM Enterprise Edition (#7995) adds support for Live Partition Mobility and Active Memory Sharing.

Other PowerVM technologies include:

  • Workload Partitions (WPARs): Provide isolated instances on top of a single AIX 6.1 image.

  • Live Application Mobility (available with WPAR Manager): Provides the movement of a running AIX application from one server to another.

  • System Planning Tool: Simplifies the process of planning and deploying Power Systems LPARs and virtual I/O.

Capacity BackUp Offering (applies to IBM i only)

The Power 780 server's Capacity BackUp (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 #4891 is available only as part of a new server purchase or during an MES upgrade from an existing system to a 9179-MHB. Certain system prerequisites must be met and system registration and approval are required before the CBU specify feature can be applied on a new server.

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 fail-over 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 780 server can be:

  • 9119-FHA
  • 9406-595
  • 9117-MMA
  • 9406-MMA
  • 9406-570
  • 9117-MMB
  • 9179-MHB
  • 9119-FHB

These systems have IBM i software licenses with an IBM i P50 software tier or higher. 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 may then transfer any IBM i processor entitlements above the minimum 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. Such messages that arise 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 may 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 an eight-core Power 780 as your primary system with four IBM i processor license entitlements (three above the minimum) and two 5250 Enterprise Enablement entitlements (one above the minimum), you can temporarily transfer up to three IBM i entitlements 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.

Active Memory Expansion

Active Memory Expansion is an innovative POWER7 technology that allows the effective maximum memory capacity to be much larger than the true physical memory maximum. Sophisticated compression/decompression of memory content can allow memory expansion up to 100%. This can allow a partition to do significantly more work or support more users with the same physical amount of memory. Similarly, it can allow a server to run more partitions and do more work for the same physical amount of memory.

Active Memory Expansion is available for partitions running AIX 6.1, or later. Technology Level 4 with SP2 is needed.

Active Memory Expansion uses CPU resource to compress/decompress the memory contents. The trade off of memory capacity for processor cycles can be an excellent choice, but the degree of expansion varies based on how compressible the memory content is, and it also depends on having adequate spare CPU capacity available for this compression/decompression. Tests in IBM laboratories using sample workloads showed excellent results for many workloads in terms of memory expansion per additional CPU utilized. Other test workloads had more modest results.

Clients have a great deal of control over Active Memory Expansion usage. Each individual AIX partition can turn on or turn off Active Memory Expansion. Control parameters set the amount of expansion desired in each partition to help control the amount of CPU used by the Active Memory Expansion function. An IPL is required for the specific partition that is turning memory expansion on or off. Once turned on, there are monitoring capabilities in standard AIX performance tools such as lparstat, vmstat, topas, and svmon.

A planning tool is included with AIX 6.1 Technology Level 4 allowing you to sample actual workloads and estimate both how expandable the partition's memory is and how much CPU resource is needed. Any model Power System can run the planning tool. In addition, a one-time, 60-day trial of Active Memory Expansion is available to provide more exact memory expansion and CPU measurements. The trial can be requested using the Capacity on Demand Web page:

http://www.ibm.com/systems/power/hardware/cod/

Active Memory Expansion is enabled by a chargeable hardware feature, #4791, which can be ordered with the initial order of the server or as an MES order. A software key is provided when the enablement feature is ordered that is applied to the server. An IPL is not required to enable the server. The key is specific to an individual server and is permanent. It can not be moved to a different server.

The additional CPU resource used to expand memory is part of the CPU resource assigned to the AIX partition running Active Memory Expansion. Normal licensing requirements apply.

IBM i Operating System

For customers loading the IBM i operating system, the four-digit numeric QPRCFEAT value used on the 9179-MHB is the same as the four-digit numeric feature number for the processors used in the system. For example, if the processor feature number in a system is 4982, the QPRCFEAT value for the system would be 4982.

  • The QPRCFEAT value in a Power 780 server does not change with the addition of more processors or additional CEC enclosures.

  • The QPRCFEAT value in a Power 780 server would change only if the feature number of the processors was changed due to a processor upgrade.

CEC HOT-NODE ADD AND HOT-NODE REPAIR MAINTENANCE

CEC hot-node add and hot-node repair maintenance is available on Power 770 and 780 systems, which enables repair and add of CEC components with minimal disruptions. Firmware AM720_084_064 is the minimum level recommended. Please see the following websites for additional information:

Feature Conversions

The existing components being replaced during a model or feature conversion become the property of IBM and must be returned.

Feature conversions are always implemented on a "quantity of one for quantity of one" basis. Multiple existing features may not be converted to a single new feature. Single existing features may not be converted to multiple new features.

The following conversions are available to customers:

  • A minimum number of four processor activations must be order per system.
  • The minimum number of memory activations must enable at least 50% of the ordered memory.

Hardware Management Console (HMC) Machine Code

If attaching an HMC to a new server or adding function to an existing server that requires a firmware update, the HMC machine code may need to be updated.

To determine the HMC machine code level required for the firmware level on any server, go to the following Web site to access the Fix Level Recommendation Tool (FLRT) on or after the planned availability date for this product. FLRT will identify the correct HMC machine code for the selected system firmware level:

https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/hmc/home.html

If a single HMC is attached to multiple servers, the HMC machine code level must be updated to the server with the most recent firmware level. All prior levels of server firmware are supported with the latest HMC machine code level.

An HMC is required to manage POWER7 processor-based servers implementing partitioning. Multiple POWER7 processor-based servers can be supported by a single HMC.

If an HMC is used to manage any POWER7 processor-based server, the HMC must be a CR3, or later model rack-mount HMC or C05, or later deskside HMC.

When IBM Systems Director is used to manage an HMC or if the HMC manages more than 254 partitions, the HMC should have 3 GB of RAM minimum and be CR3 model, or later rack-mount or C06, or later deskside.

Attributes, as defined in the following feature descriptions, state the interaction of requirements among features.

Minimums and maximums are the absolute limits for a single feature without regard to interaction with other features. The maximum valid quantity for MES orders may be different than for initial orders. The maximums listed below refer to the largest quantity of these two possibilities.

The order type defines if a feature is orderable only on initial orders, only on MES orders, on both initial and MES orders, or if a feature is supported on a model due to a model conversion. Supported features cannot be ordered on the converted model, only left on or removed from the converted model.

(#0308) - Mirrored Level System Specify Code

This specify code indicates the level of disk protection desired and helps ensure that adequate hardware is in the final configuration.

For new systems, the marketing configurator will show an error if sufficient disk units and disk controllers are not included on the order to support IOA-level mirroring protection. #0308 causes all disk units to be placed into configurations capable of IOA-level mirroring. Each disk unit and its mirrored pair must be on a different disk controller.

Note that the load source disk unit in a new, preloaded system will be device-level mirrored (same protection as provided with feature #0040). This means that the load source is controlled by the first disk unit controller on the first system bus, and will be mirrored with a like disk unit that is also attached to the same first disk controller on the first system bus.

For upgrade orders, #0308 will cause the marketing configurator to show an error if sufficient disk units and disk controllers are not available to provide the capability to enable IOA-level mirrored protection for all DASD.

It is the client's responsibility to start mirroring on their system.

  • Attributes provided: IOA level system mirroring

(#1912) - PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter

The PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#1912) is a 64-bit 3.3-volt adapter and is an excellent solution for high-performance SCSI applications. The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter provides two SCSI channels (busses), each capable of running 320 MBps (max.). Each SCSI bus can only support external attach SCSI devices.

In order to achieve an Ultra320 SCSI bus data rate of up to 320 MB per second and maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. To utilize the 320 MB per second performance, all attaching devices should also be Ultra320 LVD devices; however, if Ultra2, Ultra3, or Ultra320 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 to all devices on that SCSI bus at the lower SE bus data rate of the device.

Two VHDCI 68-pin connectors are mounted on the adapter's end bracket allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external subsystems. A 0.3-meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to 68-pin, (#2118) can be used with older external SE devices or subsystems to allow connection to the VHDCI connector on the PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter.

Two external ports provide connectivity to numerous other SCSI external subsystems. Check the external subsystem sales/web pages for verification of connectivity support with this adapter.

The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#1912) is a native boot adapter. The adapter also supports target mode.

Limitations:

  • The two external ports do not support the connection to the IBM 7131-105 IBM Multi-Storage Tower Model 105.
  • The Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI nonRAID Adapter has ports that are capable at running at ultra320 SCSI speeds (up to 320 MBytes/s).
  • Attributes provided: Attachment of external SCSI devices only on Power7 Servers.
  • Attributes required: One available 3.3 volt PCI or PCI-X slot or PCI-X 2.0 DDR slot

(#1995) - 177GB SSD Module with eMLC (AIX/Linux)

The Solid State Drive (SSD) Module is a compact storage device about the size of a fat credit card which is placed in a socket of the #2053, #2054 or #2055 PCIe RAID & SAS Adapater. It is shipped from IBM with RAID formatting to provide 177 GB capacity for AIX/IBM i/Linux. Reformatted as JBOD under AIX/Linux provides 200 GB capacity but drops the extra protection RAID formatting provides.

Feature #1995 and #1996 are physically identical with CCIN = 58B2, but two features are used to allow IBM configurator tools to understand usage by either AIX/Linux or IBM i. #1995 indicates AIX/ Linux usage.

(#2757) - PCI-X Ultra RAID Disk Controller

This feature is a PCI-X SCSI controller with a maximum compressed write cache of 757MB. The #2757 provides RAID-5 protection for internal disks and also supports internal tape units, internal CD/ DVD-ROM and internal DVD-RAM units.

The #2757 has four LVD SCSI buses that support up to 20 internal disk units.

Hardware data compression is not supported.

In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, the #2757 is also a high-performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no data protection.

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 two, four, eight, or sixteen disk units in an array. If an array of three disk units is started, parity is spread across two disk units. If an array of four to seven disk units is started, parity is spread across four disk units. If an array of eight to fifteen disk units is started, parity is spread across eight disk units. If an array of sixteen to eighteen disk units is started, parity is spread across sixteen 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 is the 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 started to redistribute the parity.

The #2757 can also control up to two internal removable media devices (tape, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM/RAM).

  • Attributes provided: Controller for up to 20 disk units and two internal removable media devices
  • Attributes required: One 3V PCI slot. This feature is only orderable as part of a feature conversion to #5581.
  • For 9179-MHB: (#2757)

(#2780) - PCI-X Ultra4 RAID Disk Controller

The #2780 is an Ultra4 (Ultra320) SCSI controller with a maximum compressed write cache of 757MB and a maximum compressed read cache size of 1GB, that provides RAID-5 protection for internal disks and also supports internal tape units, CD-ROM and DVD units. The #2780 has four Ultra4(Ultra320) SCSI buses.

In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #2780 is also designed to work as a high performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection.

This controller also uses a Cache Battery Pack with can be replaced concurrent with system operation.

The #2780 controller supports a maximum of 20 disk units.

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 two, four, eight, or 16 disk units in an array. If an array of three disk units is started, parity is spread across two disk units. If an array of four to seven disk units is started, parity is spread across four disk units. If an array of 8-15 disk units is started, parity is spread across eight 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, the number of parity drives does not increase, so 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.

Note that this controller does not support DASD compression.

(#4805) - PCI Crypto Accelerator

Feature #4805 provides improved performance for high-transaction-rate secure Web applications which use the secure sockets layer (SSL) or transport layer security (TLS) protocols. SSL/ TLS is the predominant method for securing Web transactions. Applications using SSL/TLS include those transferring payment information (e.g., credit card numbers) over the Internet, e.g., between a Web browser and a server in the case of B2C or between servers in the case of B2B. Establishing SSL/TLS secure Web connections requires very compute intensive cryptographic processing. Feature #4805 off-loads cryptographic processing associated with the establishment of a SSL/TLS session, thus freeing the server for other processing.

The Cryptographic Accelerator is targeted to high-transaction-rate secure Web applications using SSL/TLS. If your application requires a FIPS 140-1 certified, tamper-resistant module for storing cryptographic keys and/or requires financial PIN processing, then features #4801 or #4802, Cryptographic Coprocessors should be your choice.

Note:FIPS 140-1 is a U.S. Government National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) administered standard and certification program for cryptographic modules.

(#5662) - 175MB Cache RAID - Dual IOA Enablement Card

Feature #5662 is used to enable write cache on the two embedded SAS RAID controllers of the #5652 Disk/Media Backplane by providing the necessary rechargeable batteries for memory backup . It also enables the two embedded SAS RAID controllers to work as Dual Storage IOAs (i.e. HA RAID mode). Feature #5662 plugs into #5652 and enables a 175 MB write cache on each of the two embedded RAID controllers by providing two rechargeable batteries with associated charger circuitry. The write cache can provide additional I/O performance for attached disk or solid state drives, particularly for RAID 5 and RAID 6. The write cache contents are mirrored for redundancy between the two RAID adapters resulting in an effective write cache size of 175 MB. The batteries provide power to maintain both copies of write-cache information in the event power is lost.

(#5712) - PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter

The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5712) is a 64-bit 3.3 volt adapter and is an excellent solution for high-performance SCSI applications. The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter provides two SCSI channels (busses), each capable of running 320 MBps (max.), up to twice the maximum data transfer rate of the previous Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI adapter (160 MBps). Each SCSI bus can either be internal (on systems that support internal SCSI device or backplane attachments) or external. Internally attached Ultra320 devices are designed to run at a data rate of up to 320 MB per second on systems that have internal backplanes that are capable of supporting Ultra320 speeds.

In order to achieve an Ultra320 SCSI bus data rate of up to 320 MB per second and also maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. To fully utilize this 320 MB per second performance, all attaching devices should also be Ultra320 LVD devices. But, if Ultra2, Ultra3, or Ultra320 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 to all devices on that SCSI bus 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 0.3 meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to 68-pin, (#2118) can be used with older external SE devices or subsystems to allow connection to the VHDCI connector on the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter.

The two external ports provide connectivity to an IBM 2104-DS4 Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TS4 Expandable Storage Plus Tower at up to 320 MB/s SCSI bus data rate. The two external ports also 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 and 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. Also the two external ports provide connectivity to numerous other SCSI external subsystems. Check the external subsystem sales/web pages for verification of connectivity support with this adapter.

The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5712) is a native boot adapter with AIX 5.1 or AIX 5.2 software in a supported pSeries or RS/6000 systems. The adapter also supports target mode.

Limitations:

  • The two external ports do not support the connection to the IBM 7131-105 IBM Multi-Storage Tower Model 105.
  • Even though the Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter has ports that run at ultra320 SCSI speeds (up to 320 MBytes/s), the internally attached disk drives will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified by that supporting system disk backplane.
  • Disk drives internal to the pSeries system shipped prior to September 1, 2003 require a disk drive microcode update to run at Ultra320 speed. To obtain the appropriate microcode update, go to the following Web page URL:

(#5735) - 8 Gigabit PCI Express Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter

The 8 Gigabit PCI Express Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter is a high- performance adapter based on the Emulex LPe12002 PCIe Host Bus Adapter (HBA). Each port provides single initiator capability over a fibre link. The ports have LC type connectors and utilize shortwave laser optics. The adapter connects to fibre channel switches and operates at link speeds of 2, 4, and 8 Gbps. The adapter automatically negotiates with the switch to the highest speed of which the switch is capable. LEDs on each port provide information on the status and link speed of the port.

N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) capability is supported through VIOS.

Cables are the responsibility of the customer. Use multimode fibre optic cables with short-wave lasers that adhere to the following specifications:

  • OM3 - multimode 50/125 micron fibre, 2000 MHz*km bandwidth
  • OM2 - multimode 50/125 micron fibre, 500 MHz*km bandwidth
  • OM1 - multimode 62.5/125 micron fibre, 200 MHz*km bandwidth

Because core sizes are different, OM1 cables can only be connected to other OM1 cables. For best results, OM2 cables should not be connected to OM3 cables. However, if an OM2 cable is connected to an OM3 cable, the characteristics of the OM2 cable apply to the entire length of the cables.

The following table shows the supported distances for the three different cable types at the three different link speeds. 

          Cable | 2.125 Gbps | 4.25 Gbps | 8.5 Gbps  |
          ------|------------|-----------|-----------|
          OM3   |.5m - 500m  |.5m - 380m |.5m - 150m |
          OM2   |.5m - 300m  |.5m - 150m |.5m - 50m  |

(#5736) - PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter

The PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5736) is a 64-bit 3.3-volt adapter and is an excellent solution for high-performance SCSI applications. The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter provides two SCSI channels (busses), each capable of running 320 MBps (max.). Each SCSI bus can only support external attach SCSI devices.

In order to achieve an Ultra320 SCSI bus data rate of up to 320 MB per second and maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. To utilize the 320 MB per second performance, all attaching devices should also be Ultra320 LVD devices; however, if Ultra2, Ultra3, or Ultra320 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 to all devices on that SCSI bus at the lower SE bus data rate of the device.

Two VHDCI 68-pin connectors are mounted on the adapter's end bracket allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external subsystems. A 0.3-meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to 68-pin, (#2118) can be used with older external SE devices or subsystems to allow connection to the VHDCI connector on the PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter.

Two external ports provide connectivity to numerous other SCSI external subsystems. Check the external subsystem sales/web pages for verification of connectivity support with this adapter.

The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5736) is a native boot adapter. The adapter also supports target mode.

The #5805 PCIe 380 MB Cache Dual - x4 3 Gb SAS RAID Adapter is a short, full high form factor adapter that supports the attachment of SAS disk and SAS solid state drives (SSD) using a pair of mini SAS 4x connectors. Write cache can provide an I/O performance boost even if RAID 5/6/10 is not used. From a high-level perspective, except for having a larger write cache, it is very similar to the feature 5902 PCI-X SAS adapter and provides a high-performance connection to SAS devices. Two of feature 5805 provides for mirrored write cache data and mirrored RAID parity footprints between the adapters for superior availability. Feature 5805 is installed in pairs, allowing for redundancy of the write cache. If the feature 5805 pairing is broken, then write cache is disabled. The #5805 can also be paired with a #5903 adapter. Feature 5805 supports SAS disk drives (HDD) and SAS-bay-based SSD located in a PCIe 12X I/O Drawer or drives located in an EXP12S Disk Drawer or EXP24 Disk Drawer.

(#5806) - PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter

This feature is provided for driving a SCSI Tape Drive in an i5OS environment. An IOP is required when this feature is selected.

The PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5806) is a 64-bit 3.3-volt adapter and is an excellent solution for high-performance SCSI applications. The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter provides two SCSI channels (busses), each capable of running 320 MBps (max.). Each SCSI bus can either be internal (on systems that support internal SCSI device or backplane attachments) or external. Internally attached Ultra320 devices are designed to run at a data rate of up to 320 MB per second on systems that have internal backplanes that are capable of supporting Ultra320 speeds.

In order to achieve an Ultra320 SCSI bus data rate of up to 320 MB per second and maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. To utilize the 320 MB per second performance, all attaching devices should also be Ultra320 LVD devices; however, if Ultra2, Ultra3, or Ultra320 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 to all devices on that SCSI bus at the lower SE bus data rate of the device.

Two VHDCI 68-pin connectors are mounted on the adapter's end bracket allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external subsystems. A 0.3-meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to 68-pin, (#2118) can be used with older external SE devices or subsystems to allow connection to the VHDCI connector on the PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter.

Two external ports provide connectivity to numerous other SCSI external subsystems. Check the external subsystem sales/web pages for verification of connectivity support with this adapter.

The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5806) is a native boot adapter. The adapter also supports target mode.

Feature #5736 and #5806 are physically identical cards with the same 571A CCIN. Different features are used to help IBM configurator tool understand whether or not an IOP is being used with the adapter. #5806 indicates an IOP is present.

Limitations:

  • The two external ports do not support the connection to the IBM 7131-105 IBM Multi-Storage Tower Model 105.
  • Even though the Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI nonRAID Adapter has ports that run at ultra320 SCSI speeds (up to 320 MBytes/s), the internally attached disk drives will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified by that supporting system disk backplane.
  • Attributes provided: Attachment of a SCSI Tape drive

(#5908) - PCI-X DDR 1.5GB Cache SAS RAID Adapter (BSC)

PCI-X DDR 1.5GB Cache SAS RAID Adapter provides disk controller drive or SSD controller function using PCI-X DDR technology, a maximum of 1.5GB compressed write cache and a maximum 1.6GB compressed read cache. Auxiliary write cache and concurrent battery maintenance are provided. The controller is implemented using two physical cards that are firmly connected and requires two adjacent PCI slots. It provides three mini-SAS 4x connectors for the attachment of SAS drives located in a #5886 EXP12S/#5887 EXP24S Expansion Drawers. The controller supports a maximum of five SAS #5886 EXP 12S Expansion Drawers. The controller supports a maximum of two #5887 EXP24S drawers, but can also support a #5886 I/O drawer in addition to the two #5887 providing a total of 60 SAS bays. It supports up to 6 drive slots in one POWER6 560/570/770 CEC drawers and up to three POWER6 560/570/770 drawers in the same server. With proper cabling and configuration, multiple wide ports are used to provide redundant paths to each dual port SAS disk or SSD. The adapter manages SAS path redundancy and path switching should a SAS drive failure occur. CCIN is 572F/575C.

The adapter provides RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10 for AIX linux. Under IBM i OS, mirroring and data spreading is provided by the operating system and RAID 5 and RAID6 is provided by the adapter. #5904, #5906 and #5908 are all feature codes representing the same physical cards, but different feature codes are used to indicate if a blind swap cassette is used and its type. #5908 indicates a Gen-3 blind swap cassette used in enclosures such as the 19-inch #5790, 5796 or Power 570 CEC.

With the optional pairing of adapters, an even higher level of protection beyond, auxiliary cache is provided via a dual controller I/O configuration to protect against the failure of an entire adapter. In such a high availability I/O configuration, SAS X cables are used to attach #5886 EXP 12S/#5887 EXP24S Expansion Drawers and the 4th mini-SAS connector (top) is used with an adapter to adapter (AA) SAS CABLE, (3M #3681, 6M #3682), to directly connect the card sets. Paired adapters must reside on the same server/partition for IBM i, but can be in the same or separate servers/partitions for AIX/Linux.
