Description

IBM eServer iSeries

The IBM eServer allows businesses and other organizations to accelerate into the next generation of e-business. As an integral part of the IBM eServer brand, the iSeries delivers e-business value via intelligent integration, innovation, and application flexibility. The IBM eServer iSeries includes the recently announced Models 820, 830 840, Model 270, Models SB2, SB3, and the Dedicated Servers for Domino.

Intelligent Integration

The iSeries combines leading edge technology with a flexible, innovative operating environment, developed for the AS/400 and extended to the iSeries line of e-business servers. The "i" in iSeries stands for intelligent integration, and features open systems functions which are built-in to the operating system and pretested for reliable, turnkey function. These integrated functions include the web servers (IBM HTTP server and the Apache server), the Web Application server (WebSphere Standard Edition), the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), database (IBM DB2 Universal DataBase for AS/400), Communications (TCP/IP), OS/400 PASE, e-business security and Linux in the future. The iSeries intelligent integration allows businesses to deploy solutions faster, more reliably, and with a low cost of ownership while implementing a wide range of e-business applications based on industry standards, with superior performance.

Innovation

The iSeries is based on IBM's leading edge microprocessor technology, which includes two industry breakthroughs: copper and Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI). IBM has replaced the aluminum connections between transistors with copper, resulting in denser packages, lower power consumption and higher performance. SOI is a revolutionary method to prevent electrical leakage from the chips, and together with copper, accounts for between 20 and 35% in processor performance improvements. The iSeries also boasts the new IBM memory switching technology, with switch speeds of 36GB per second. High Speed Links (HSL) allow data transfer at rates of up to 1GB per second. With copper, SOI, memory switching, and HSL the iSeries is in the forefront of technological innovation in the industry today. The iSeries has demonstrated it's scalability with these innovative technologies by delivering 152,346 transactions per minute (tpmC) on the TPC-C benchmark. iSeries also demonstrated superb collaborative performance, supporting 75,000 concurrent NotesBench Domino R5 Mail Users with an average response time of 276 milliseconds, and exceptional Java scalability by exceeding 80,000 operations per second with the industry-standard SPECjbb2000 benchmark. The iSeries intelligent integration of this technology allows businesses to benefit from enterprise class computing without an "enterprise size" IT support staff.

Application Flexibility

The iSeries offers a wide range of application choices to businesses of all sizes and in any industry, allowing an unprecedented level of flexibility and independence. The iSeries architecture features a flexible operating environment that runs any combination of AS/400, ported UNIX applications, Linux (in the future), Windows, Domino, or Java applications concurrently. Combined with the iSeries inherent workload management capabilities, Logical Partitioning (LPAR) and the integration of IBM eServer xSeries, the iSeries enables businesses to run several diverse application environments on one physical machine. Businesses can now choose whether to grow their server farm, maintain their server farm, or consolidate server footprints on the iSeries for simplified management, increased availability, and lower total cost of ownership. The iSeries embraces standards-based computing with a full range of application choices while offering independence from proprietary solutions.

The iSeries also offers businesses the freedom to grow without disruption through the new Capacity Upgrade on Demand features of the Model 840. These features enable a customer to activate immediate incremental processing power non-disruptively, when it is needed, and pay for it only when initiated.

The iSeries is perfect for growing companies looking to do business-critical B2B, ERP, supply chain management and CRM applications. The new iSeries is an ideal e-business server for those companies who prefer fast deployment of integrated e-business solutions rather than "do it yourself" or "contracted services" systems integration. The iSeries 400 delivers the intelligent integration, innovation, and flexibility that businesses need to accelerate successfully into the new e-business economy.

iSeries Model 270

The power of the mid-range IBM iSeries product line is now packed into the Model 270. Today, the Model 270 can give you the performance, reliability, scalability, and security you need for the world of e-business. The Model 270 can make the difference in your success.

Processor speeds alone cannot serve the broad, dynamic mix of e-business workloads. Bus speeds, cache levels, switching rates, and memory capacity can affect the performance of your business server dramatically.

That's why the Model 270 is designed to deliver cross-system performance.

In addition to increased processor performance, the iSeries Model 270 now has:

Model 270 Benefits

iSeries Model 270 is ideal in extending your core business applications to leverage e-business technologies.

To run core business applications, new e-business applications, or a mix of both, the Model 270 offers robust performance.

The iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino, extended to leverage the Model 270, is designed specifically for Domino workloads. The iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino is particularly effective when combined with the partitioning capabilities of Domino Enterprise Server** to support multiple Lotus Domino workloads (e.g., mail and Domino applications) on a single physical server.

Whether your e-business success is a target or a reality, IBM iSeries servers are among the world's most proficient multiworkload servers.

iSeries servers are integrated to reduce complexity and deploy e-business applications faster. You benefit from world-class usability and reliability, which equate to time and money saved.

Server Workloads

The Model 270 is IBM's most competitive offering for customers seeking the value of iSeries -- security, reliability, and scalability for workloads designed for client/server and network-centric computing.

The Model 270 is the entry offering for e-business with the performance you need to handle CPU-intensive workloads that drive mission-critical e-businesses.

The 270 server can also scale and grow to consolidate existing multiserver scenarios. You want to gain e-business values of iSeries and eliminate the cost and reliability exposures of a multiserver heterogeneous implementation. The 270 is powerful enough to handle multiple workloads effectively and efficiently or act as a stand-alone server for concentrated robust implementations of a single server application.

If you are considering any type of server workloads, the Model 270 is an ideal platform. It can be used as a very secure Internet server, for managing a small data warehouse, as your Lotus Domino server, or for serving up any number of applications. Unlike most installations using PC server hardware, many of these applications can be run concurrently on the same server, saving cost and increasing your overall profit.

Interactive Workloads

The Model 270 offers optional interactive features that deliver a preset level of interactive performance for each processor. Adding the optional interactive feature lets you run both server and interactive workloads on a single platform. This is similar to the flexibility we introduced for the 7XX servers in 1999.

For businesses looking to grow into more server workloads, the server 270 is an ideal solution that lets you run multiple workloads on a single server. As the requirements for interactive CPW diminishes, the CPU cycles can be used for server workloads -- automatically.

Interactive Characteristics

Interactive CPW=0

This provides very attractive price/performance for customers with a need for CPU-intensive applications such as Domino, server-side Java, e-commerce tools, and a multitude of other e-business offerings that generally see a higher ratio of CPU to I/O utilization but with no need for 5250 interactive applications.

This feature can be ordered for most Model 270s. It supports system administration functions performed by:

Interactive CPW=0 represents the maximum amount of 5250 processing capability available for customer applications.

Workload Balancing Enhancement

These models offer significant advantages over earlier models where system overhead reduces client/server capacity when the interactive threshold is exceeded. With the new models, interference with the client/server workload caused by excess interactive workload is virtually eliminated.

Interactive Features

The level of interactive feature granularity on the 270 server provides greater flexibility in choosing an appropriate interactive feature.

iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino...designed for Domino workloads

The iSeries server Model 270 includes five processor features for the iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino. The iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino offers the same expandability for configuring communications, disk, memory, and peripherals as the standard Model 270. It incorporates a PCI disk unit controller that allows the attachment of up to six internal disk units before additional disk controller features are required.

Vertical upgrade paths are available within the processor features of the iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino Model 270.

OS/400 V5R1 is enhanced to bolster Dedicated Server for Domino server capacity for robust Domino applications that require Java Servlet and WebSphere Application Server integration.

A refreshed version of OS/400 V5R1, with enhanced Dedicated Server for Domino support for Java Servlet and WebSphere Application Server workloads will be automatically ordered by the configurator and shipped on separate CDs (PRPQ 5799-DSD) for customers using V5R1 on Domino processors between May 25, 2001, and September 28, 2001. A re-installation of OS/400 licensed internal code (CDs with a date stamp of September 28, 2001, or later) will be required to take advantage of the enhanced Dedicated Server for Domino support.

Existing customers (currently having a Dedicated Server for Domino installed) who wish to purchase OS/400 V5R1, should wait until after September 28, 2001, to take delivery and avoid re-installation of the licensed internal code.

Relative Performance

Relative performance measurements are derived by performing various monitored and measured workloads on iSeries servers. The results (reported values) can be used to compare relative performance characteristics of processor features offered for iSeries servers. Performance that individual customers experience may vary.

·         Simple Mail Users (SMU): This relative performance measurement is derived by performing high-volume Lotus Domino mail workloads on Dedicated Domino Processors. Simple Mail Users are representative of mail applications, particularly those that do not perform any database related tasks.

SMUs represent the estimated number of concurrent light mail users for the Dedicated Domino processors. Reported values reflect 70% processor utilization to allow for growth and for peak loads in excess of customer workload estimates.

The reported values for CPW represent the capacity of non-Domino workload available to support a Domino environment. The reported CPW may be utilized by System Resource activities and Domino Resource extensions (e.g., database accesses, external program calls). The amount of CPW consumed will reduce the available capacity to perform Domino workloads reflected as SMU or MCU.

o        Processor CPW is an approximate value reflecting the maximum amount of non-Domino workload (10-15% of CPU) that can be supported.

§         Default: The measure of interactive CPW available as part of the default offering.

§         #5540 - System Console on Twinaxial WSC

§         #4746 PCI Twinaxial IOA

The Model 270 does not include an internal battery. An external UPS is recommended to protect the system unit and any external components against utility power outages. A UPS can provide full operating power to allow the system to run uninterrupted if utility power is lost for a short time. For longer power outages, a UPS can maintain power long enough for the system to shutdown completely. You avoid losing data in main storage that has not been written to disk, which can enable faster recovery when the system is restarted.

The AS/400 Continuously Powered Mainstore/Uninterruptible Power Supply (CPM/UPS) Models 9910-080, 9910-140, and 9910-180, previously used with the AS/400 Model 170, can also be used with the Model 270. The CPM function is not supported on the Model 270. An external UPS, combined with abnormal IPL recovery improvements in OS/400, can provide an equivalent level of power protection and fast recovery in the event of a power outage.

To get full value and productivity from your server to address your changing business needs, the Model 270 has a comprehensive selection of optional features. Some are new...others were available on the server 170.

Refer to the Features section for tables showing feature and specify code support, and descriptions of new features.

Product Positioning

Today's e-business world is fast paced, ever changing, and growing rapidly. A business' infrastructure is one of the foundation elements that is required to meet the challenges of this new world and take advantage of rapidly emerging opportunities. In selecting an IT infrastructure, it is important to identify the solution, the solution requirements, preferred operating environment, current and available skills, availability requirements, and scalability requirements. Since these can vary widely by customer set and by industry, IBM offers a complete portfolio of servers, each optimized for differing customer requirements and preferences. These servers, all e-business enabled, can be standalone or combined into seamless, integrated solutions.. Although each offers a different customer value proposition, each IBM eServer has certain common characteristics and IBM advantages, ranging from Linux enablement to unparalleled IBM support and guarantees.

The iSeries is an ideal choice for those businesses that:

·         Are interested in high performance, scalable servers which are capable of managing multiple workloads on one physical footprint

iSeries Model 270

The Model 270 delivers the processing power to competitively run applications leveraging new technologies like Domino, server-side Java, Web-enablers, and a multitude of other e-business tools that generally drive a higher ratio of CPU versus I/O, database, and other iSeries resources.

The Model 270 is really two servers in one(2):

·         A server with a base level of interactive performance of zero.

Note: (2) Not applicable to the first processor point.

The iSeries Model 270 is an ideal:

·         Alternative to PC servers

Customers interested in a high-performing server for multiple workloads, who intend to perform CPU-intensive processing should select a Model 270 with the base level of interactive performance (enough to do system administration).

Customers who are moving toward a mixture of workloads that include CPU-intensive applications should select a Model 270 with a higher optional level of interactive performance.

Customers who continue to have interactive processing requirements should consider the value offered by the Models 250 or 820, where increased interactive performance is added more economically.

If you have a non-RISC AS/400 model with less performance than the Model 270, you should evaluate this offering. If you are running interactive applications dependent on 5250-type interfaces, and are considering adding new server software, the Model 270 provides an alternative with outstanding capabilities for both environments.

If you have AS/400 D, E, or F models, you may find the Model 270 an attractive purchase option (upgrades are not available). It has considerably more power than many of these models. For example, a Model F45 has a CPW rating of only 17 -- the total available for interactive and server workloads. The Model 270 has a maximum processor CPW of 2000, and an interactive performance maximum of 70.

iSeries Model 270 Compared to Model 250

From a server performance standpoint, the iSeries Model 270 offers much more scalability than the Model 250. In addition, the expandability is much greater, including 24 disk units, 8GB of main storage, and a 2-way processor for high-end growth.

Entry customers who purchased servers in the price range of the Model 150, or Model 170, should consider the Model 250. Packaged software and low entry prices make these servers attractive PC server alternatives. The Model 250 performance enables running mixed workloads on a single server. The Model 250 is not appropriate for workloads requiring large amounts of processor cycles, versus more traditional workloads that use a balance of system resources.

In terms of interactive performance (measured as interactive CPW), the Model 270 offers a single optional interactive feature (except on the first processor) while the Model 250 offers interactive capability as part of the base. Customers who run more traditional applications with a dependance on interactive performance should look to the Model 250 for the best value.

The smallest Model 270 processor is offered for customers with traditional AS/400 workloads who are considering future use of CPU-intensive workloads such as server-side Java applications. A processor upgrade will be required when new CPU-intensive applications are deployed.

iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino (Model 270)

iSeries customers new to Lotus Domino have embraced its world-class e-mail, workflow, collaborative, and e-business capabilities.

Domino customers new to the iSeries have benefited from its superior reliability and scalability as a Lotus Domino server.

Domino for iSeries has been widely hailed as a solution that brings the best together. Its success is built on these compelling values:

·         Reliability -- iSeries provides outstanding single-system reliability. Lotus Domino takes advantage of the unique iSeries subsystem architecture to deliver a highly available Domino server (running one or several Domino partitions) without the costs and administrative overhead for redundant hardware and a multiserver network.

The iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino extends these Domino for iSeries values by delivering outstanding price/performance in environments where you choose to run stand-alone Domino workloads separate from other applications.

iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino is enhanced with OS/400 V5R1 to deliver more capacity and support for today's robust Domino applications requiring Java Servlet and WebSphere Application Server integration with Domino. All Dedicated Server for Domino processor features, including 820, 170, and 270, can take advantage of these enhancements.

A refreshed version of OS/400 V5R1, with enhanced DSD support for Domino Java Servlet and WebSphere Application Server workloads will be automatically ordered by the configurator and shipped on separate CDs (PRPQ 5799-DSD) for customers using V5R1 on Domino processors between May 25, 2001, and September 28, 2001. A re-installation of OS/400 licensed internal code (CDs with a date stamp of September 28, 2001, or later) will be required to take advantage of the enhanced Dedicated Server for Domino support.

When the iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino is the Better Choice

The iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino is most appropriate for one of the following Domino solution scenarios:

·         One or more stand-alone servers to support one or more Domino applications, including:

o        Domino E-mail

The iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino is designed to run Domino with/without complementary workloads (Java Servlets, WebSphere Application Server, etc.). Complementary work is any processing that is directly related to, used with, or in direct support of Domino, where Domino is the primary server workload (utilizing the dominant portion of the server's processing capacity).

In addition, applications that share iSeries resources (such as disk storage, printers, and tape devices) but use minimal iSeries processing power, are also appropriate for the Dedicated Server. Applications that run on the Integrated xSeries Server, such as NT file and application serving and firewall functions, fall into this category.

When the iSeries 270 or 8XX Models are the Better Choice

iSeries servers 270 or 820 with standard processor features are most appropriate for any of the following Domino solution scenarios:

·         Running Domino on the same server with existing standalone non-Domino iSeries applications (e.g., interactive applications, RPG/COBOL applications).

For Domino sizing information, utilize the Workload Estimator, and for more information about the iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino, refer to "Evaluating Appropriate Workloads for the iSeries Dedicated Server for Domino". Both may be found at:

Disk Protection

When a mix of data protection schemes is required, a disk protection specify code should not be used.

(#0040) Mirrored System Disk Level Protection

Causes the order to fail if sufficient disk units are not ordered to support device-level mirrored protection. On upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient disk units are not available. #0040 requires all disk units to be placed into mirrored pairs. The load source must be controlled by the first disk controller and must be mirrored to a like disk unit also attached to the first disk controller. The minimum number of disks allowed on a system is two.

(#0041) Device Parity Protection-All

Causes the order to fail if a non-RAID configuration is ordered. #0041 requires that all internal disk units be placed into RAID arrays using #2748, #2762, #2763, #4748, or #9748. The rules for RAID can be found in the descriptions for #2748, #2762, #2763, #4748, or #9748. The minimum number of RAID disk units allowed on a system is four. All external disk units must be RAID capable.

(#0042) Mirrored System IOP Level Protection

Causes the order to fail if sufficient disk units and IOPs are not included on the order to support IOP-level mirrored protection. On Upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient Disk units and IOPs are not available. #0042 requires all disk units to be placed into mirrored pairs. Each mirrored pair of disk units must be on separate disk unit IOP. The load source must be controlled by the first disk controller and must be mirrored to a like disk unit also attached to the first disk controller. (#0040 protection). The minimum number of disks allowed on a system is four.

(#0043) Mirrored System BUS Level Protection

Causes the order to fail if sufficient disk units, IOPs, and expansion units are not included on the order to support bus-level mirrored protection. On upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient disk units, IOPs, and expansion units are not available.

#0043 requires all disk units to be placed into mirrored pairs. Each mirrored pair of disk units must be on separate SPD busses. The load source must be controlled by the first disk controller and must be mirrored to a like disk unit also attached to the first disk controller. (#0040 protection). The minimum number of disks allowed on a system is four.

(#0044) Device Parity Protection

Causes the order to fail if a non-RAID configuration is ordered. This is the default specify code for data protection. #0044 requires that all internal disk units be placed into RAID arrays using #2726, #2740, #2741 #6502, #6512, #6532, or #6533. The rules for RAID can be found in the descriptions for #2726, #2740, #2741, #6502, #6512, #6532 and #6533.

Ideally, all disk units should be put into a RAID array. However, for upgrades only, to maintain compatibility with upgrade systems unable to put the load source file into a RAID array, the configurator allows up to four non-RAID disks to be configured with #0044. The four non-RAID disks must be mirrored. The definition of a non-RAID disk is either an old disk that can't be put into a RAID array because it technically doesn't work, or, a new disk that can't be put into a RAID array because there aren't enough disks for a valid RAID array.

The minimum number of RAID disk units allowed on a system is four. The maximum number of non-RAID disk units allowed on a system is two pair (mirrored). All external disk units must be RAID capable.

System Console

A system console specify code must be selected on each new order. One console adapter is required on each new order to drive the system console. The system console may be changed on installed systems via MES.

(#5540) System Console on Twinaxial WSC

When #5540 is on the order, the system console is driven by a twinaxial adapter. The following adapters are added to the order:

Refer to the feature description of #9771 for a list of RVX cables supported and for details on ECS support on the #9771.

(#5544) System Console on OP Console

When #5544 is on the order, the system console is driven by a WAN adapter. The following adapters and cable are added to the order:

Refer to the feature description of #9771 for a list of RVX cables supported and for details on ECS support on the #9771.

(#5546) System Console 100Mbps Token-Ring

With #5546, the system console is driven by a token-ring LAN adapter. #2744, PCI 100Mbps Token-Ring IOA, is required on the server. This LAN adapter must be dedicated to console support/functions and cannot be used for any other purpose.

Prerequisite: One #0367 Operations Console cable. With LPAR, one #0367 per server is sufficient, regardless of the number of "LAN consoles" defined per system. OS/400 V5R1, or later, is required.

(#5548) System Console 100Mbps Ethernet

With #5548, the system console is driven by an Ethernet LAN adapter. #4838, PCI 100/10Mbps Ethernet IOA, is required on the system. This LAN adapter must be dedicated to console support functions and cannot be used for any other purpose.

Prerequisite: One #0367 Operations Console cable. With LPAR, one #0367 per server is sufficient, regardless of the number of "LAN consoles" defined per system.

(#0003) Notify CSO After Install

Indicates that IBM service involvement is required to install an MES. This feature drives service installation instructions, MES package labeling, and indicates that IBM service should be dispatched to install the MES.

(#0006) LPAR Restrict Build Process

Added to an initial order system where logical partitioning (LPAR)(#0140) is requested. This code instructs manufacturing to only load SLIC on the minimum number of DASD files (ie., do not spread across all available DASD units. Mutually exclusive with #5000 SW Preload, or any Solution Developer Preloads.

Prerequisite: #0140 (Logical Partitioned System). Maximum: One.

(#0140) Logical Partitioning Specify

#0140 is used to specify that this system will be logically partitioned. With OS/400 V4R5, #0140 is only valid on N-way processors. With OS/400 V5R1, #0140 is valid on uni-processors as well. The configurator will add a quantity of one #0140 to the order for each logical partition required.

When logical partitioning is specified, the configurator will verify/validate the following:

In addition, the configurators will default one #2624, #2748, #2778, #2763, #4748, or #4778 for each feature CD-ROM (#4425, #6325) or each feature DVD-RAM (#4430) and will default one #2768 for each 7210-020 External CD-ROM or each 7210-025 DVD-RAM Drive. The defaulted controllers may be removed.

Initial system orders and model upgrade orders containing this specify will ship without RAID or Mirroring enabled.

(#0141) HSL OptiConnect Specify

#0141 specifies that this system will be part of a cluster using HSL OptiConnect. This code allows additional HSL cables to be ordered for the OptiConnect systems.

(#0142) Linux Partition Specify

#0142 is used to specify that this system will be logically partitioned with a Linux partition. The configurators will add a quantity of one #0142 to the order for each Linux partition required.

Only Linux direct attached features are allowed within a Linux Partition. Linux direct attached features are not allowed in OS/400 partitions.

There are no minimum number of Linux direct attached features required per Linux partition. A Linux partition can exist without any Linux direct attached features in it (e.g. all I/O will be virtualized through the AS/400).

Prerequisite: #0140, Logical Partitioning Specify. OS/400 V5R1, or later, is required.

(#0203) Side-by-Side Install

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July 2, 2002)

This no-charge specify code is used to alert IBM service representatives of the intention to install a new system concurrently with an existing system, and over time, move applications to the new system. This method may be used when adding a system to an existing complex or network, or when a replaced system is being moved to another location. "AS/400 Road Map for Changing to PowerPC Technology" (SA41-4150) describes this option in detail. IBM services are also available for a charge. #0203 is not allowed if #5000 is on the order.

(#0205) RISC-to-RISC Data Migration

Used on initial orders for 270 models, this specify code designates that the new server will replace (not upgrade) an installed iSeries (RISC) model.

When #0205 is on the order, manufacturing will only load SLIC and up through QSYS of OS/400. This will facilitate migrating some of the OS/400 information from the installed system. In addition to the new server, enough DASD must be ordered to hold all the data from the current model, as well as the required software on the new server. Specify Code #5000 (SW Preload Required) is mutually exclusive with #0205.

The new iSeries RISC server will replace (not upgrade) an installed iSeries RISC model. The migration process requires that the installed model be at the same version and release level of OS/400 and other Licensed Programs (LPs) as the new server. Financial considerations of upgrades to the installed software should be reviewed as part of the migration planning.

More information, and an updated AS/400 System Upgrade and Data Migration Road Map (RISC-RISC) is available at:

Special Feature Codes -- Chargeable

Features can be added and removed from iSeries models by ordering new features, removing existing features, or doing feature conversions, if available.

The addition of a new feature and removal of an installed feature does not involve any credit. Unless otherwise specified, a removed feature remains the property of the customer. Feature removals not associated with a feature upgrade or conversion may be subject to a charge.

Processor and interactive features for the iSeries Model 270 are IBM installable. iSeries server to iSeries server interchange of processor or interactive features is system password protected. iSeries server to iSeries server interchange of processor or interactive features outside IBM standard practices and procedures, may void Model 270 warranty or service contracts.

System Configuration

All system units and expansion units have locations for features including processors, main storage, power, expansion, disks, tapes, CD-ROM, and IOPs. Some restrictions may apply to certain combinations of features. The configurator contains the rules and performance considerations for placement of these features, and should be used to ensure a valid configuration. The use of performance tools may also help in optimizing a configuration to match a specific set of requirements.

Customer Setup (CSU) Features

Some features are designated CSU. On MES orders where all features are CSU, the customer installs all features. IBM installation is available for a charge, under normal service contracts. On MES orders that contain mix of IBM and CSU features, the customer may choose to have the IBM service representative install all features (including those designated as CSU).

Internal Disk Unit Controllers

(#2757) PCI-X Ultra RAID Disk Controller

This feature is a PCI-X SCSI controller with a maximum compressed write cache of 757MB. #2757 provides RAID-5 protection for internal disks and also supports internal tape units, CD-ROM and DVD-RAM. The #2757 has four SCSI buses that support up to 18 disk units. Hardware data compression is not supported.

In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #2757 is also a high-performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection. In the RAID-5 configuration, disk unit protection is provided at less cost than mirroring, and with greater performance than system checksums.

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.

#2757 controls up to two removable media devices (internal tape, CD-ROM, DVD)

This feature requires OS/400 V5R2, plus updates. Refer to Informational APAR II13440 at:

The #4748 controller supports a maximum of 18 disk units. A minimum of four disk units of the same capacity are needed for a valid RAID 5 configuration. A maximum of four arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of 10 disk units allowed per array. All disk units in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across four disk units for arrays of four to seven disk units. Parity can be spread across either four or eight disk units for arrays of eight to ten disk units. For systems started with eight to ten disk units in an array, the parity for that array, will be spread across 8 disk units. For systems that are started with fewer than eight disk units in an array and later field upgraded to eight, nine, or ten disk units, the RAID function must be stopped and then started before the parity will be spread across eight disk units. See the Disk Unit Table for a list of disks that can be placed into RAID-5 arrays.

The #4748 controls up to two removable media devices (internal tape or CD-ROM).

Prerequisite: Available PCI slot in a base, or feature PCI IOP.

(#4778) PCI RAID Disk Unit Controller

The #4778 is an Ultra2 SCSI controller with a maximum compressed write cache size of 104MB that provides RAID-5 protection and compression for internal disk units and also internal tape units, CD-ROM and DVD-RAM units.

#4778 is an optional disk unit controller for Model 270.

#4778 supports both disk compression and enhanced modes. The mode of operation is determined by a hardware jumper. It is shipped in enhanced mode, which enables compression of the write cache and Extended Adaptive Cache (feature #4331, 1.6GB Read Cache Device, is needed for the OS/400 Extended Adaptive Cache function.) By moving the hardware jumper, the controller will function in disk compression mode.

In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #4778 is also designed to work as a high-performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection. In the RAID-5 configuration, disk unit protection is provided at less cost than mirroring, and with greater performance than system checksums.

The #4778 controller supports a maximum of 18 disk units.

A minimum of four disk units of the same capacity are needed for a valid RAID 5 configuration. A maximum of four arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of ten disk units allowed per array. All disk units in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across four disk units for arrays of four to seven disk units. Parity can be spread across either four or eight disk units for arrays of eight to ten disk units. For systems started with eight to ten disk units in an array the parity, for that array, will be spread across eight disk units. For systems that are started with less than eight disk units in an array and later field upgraded to eight, nine, or ten disk units, the RAID function must be stopped and then started before the parity will be spread across eight disk units.

See Disk Unit Table for a list of disks that can be placed into RAID-5 arrays.

#4778 controls up to two removable media devices (internal tape, CD-ROM or DVD-RAM).

Prerequisite: Available PCI slot under a base or optional feature PCI IOP. OS/400 V5R1, or later is required.
