          PROGRAMS

ABSTRACT

IBM reaffirms its commitment to open systems by announcing AIX (R) PS/2 (R) Version 1.3, its entry level member of the AIX family.

AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 and associated licensed programs provide full hardware support and exploitation for all models of PS/2 system units based on the 32-bit Intel (1) 386sx-16MHz up through the Intel 486DX2-66MHz, utilizing Micro Channel (R) or AT (R)-Bus architectures. AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 offers support for selected OEM hardware configurations, certifying them on a per-bid basis.

Support is offered for numerous new options, adapters, hardfiles and displays listed in the Growth Enablement Section.

Support is also provided for the GEARBOX (R) Model 800 486 Industrial Computer.

AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 provides interoperability with other versions of AIX, UNIX (2) and other IBM and non-IBM operating systems through AIX PS/2 Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Version 1.3 and AIX PS/2 Network File System Version 1.3.

Enhanced installation, backup and update procedures aptly named the EZ_UTILITIES are targeted specifically for IBM Business Partners and large installations to simplify operating system installation and maintenance.

AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 and AIX PS/2 Operating System Extensions Version 1.3 are again offered on Internal Tape Backup Unit (ITBU) mini-cartridge tape to ease installation.

The programs announced today replace Version 1.2.1 of the AIX PS/2 Operating System and Version 1.2.1 of the Extensions and selected Related Licensed Program Products. Upgrades from AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.2.1, Version 1.2, Version 1.1 and Related Licensed Program Products Version 1.2.1, Version 1.2, Version 1.1 are offered to encourage migration.

NOTE: Transparent Computing Facility (TCF) is not supported in AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3. Also, Usability Services Version 1.1.1 is not supported in AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3.

Planned Availability Date: October 2, 1992.

ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION

Volume Discount

The revised volume discount exhibit applies to customers with volume discount commitments for IBM AIX for RISC System/6000 (R) licensed programs in effect with a commitment in Category C, and must be used for all new volume commitments effective immediately.

The revised exhibit is available through FAWN.

Volume Discount Transition

The revised volume discount exhibit applies to customers with volume commitments for IBM AIX for RISC System/6000 licensed programs in effect with a commitment in Category C. Refer to the Notice to IBM Customers for transition details.

Special Bid Transition

For commercial and state and local government customers with special bid contracts in effect that meet the following criteria (including the U.S. portion of IVPAs), the programs will be added automatically to the special bid category with the same program aggregation as the category to which the program was added to the Volume Discount Exhibit -- IBM AIX for RISC System/6000 Licensed Programs (VP8308).

Criteria:

NOTE: In AP, Canada, IBM LA and EMEA, the IVPA allows addition of products if an enterprise member accepts a revised exhibit under an affected Volume Procurement Amendment.

The announced programs are available for remarketing under the Extended Enterprise and Enterprise Remarketer contracts.

Branch office administration must complete the EZFORM CONCORR and submit to Asset Management, Rockville, MD, to update the special bid contract file to reflect this announcement.

By customer request, an updated special bid contract is available through the appropriate IBM U.S. Contract Practices department in Atlanta, GA, or White Plains, NY.

For customers who did not previously make a transition from an existing special bid contract to a special bid contract based on the June 16, 1987, VPA announcement, the VPA and Special Bid Transition Plan guidelines in Marketing Announcement 387-097 apply.

Customers with a special bid automatically updated to include the announced program must be notified within 10 days of this announcement. The notification must be documented with a locally initiated control list indicating the date of notification and the name of the customer executive notified. A branch-prepared notice should be sent. The Notice to IBM Customers included with this announcement should not be used since it only applies to VPA customers with the standard VPA and VPA Exhibit in effect and not special bid customers.

ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION REQUIRED

Volume Discount Customer Notification

Customers with a volume commitment for IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Licensed Programs in effect must be sent the Notice to IBM Customers and the revised volume commitment exhibit.

Customers affected by this announcement, designated by the branch office to receive notification directly from headquarters, have been mailed a copy of the Notice to IBM Customers. A control log of affected customers is being mailed under separate cover. Branches must use the MMS inquiry accessed by entering GET/DEFINE ANNXXXXXX FROM(NOTICE), replacing the Xs with the announcement letter number and local records, to identify activity beyond the file status date of the control log.

Customers affected by this announcement, designated by the branch office to receive notification from the branch office, must be sent the Notice to IBM Customers within 10 calendar days of this announcement. This customer notification must be documented with a locally-initiated control log documenting the mailing dates, or if delivered, the date and name of the customer executive to whom the notice was delivered. File this control log locally for future reference to substantiate proof of customer notification.

Copies of the Notice to IBM Customers may be obtained through FAWN.

If your office had no customers notified directly by headquarters, and MMS defines no customers when the inquiry is made, no further action is required.

          Performance tuning in AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 offers
          increased throughput for input/output (I/O) in raw and block modes,
          in addition to kernel performance enhancements and smaller size
          requirements available through the availability of serviceable shared
          libraries usage in applications written to utilize them.
          Enhancements made to the pager and swapper areas of memory management
          result in performance increases.
                 Improvements in the windowing and GUI areas are highlighted
          with the introduction of the X Windowing System V11 R5 from MIT
          available in AIX PS/2 X-Windows Version 1.3 and AIXwindows (R)
          Environment for PS/2 Version 1.3 and OSF's Motif 1.1.3 available in
          AIXwindows Environment for PS/2 Version 1.3 along with AIXwindows
          Desktop.  Support for the IBM Xstation 120 and Xstation 130 is
          provided in the AIX PS/2 Xstation Manager (TM) Version 1.3.  XGA-2
          provides non-interlaced, high-resolution graphics on supported
          displays.
                 AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 provides
          interoperability with other versions of AIX, UNIX, and other IBM and
          non-IBM operating systems, through the use of AIX PS/2 Transmission
          Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Version 1.3 and AIX PS/2 Network
          File System Version 1.3 over Ethernet or Token Ring.  NFS allows
          remote file system mounting and files can be copied and data shared

          SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
          AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 provides a set of six primary
          tools called EZ_UTILITIES, used to assist in the system management
          and distribution of AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3.  An
          enhanced installation procedure decreases the time spent installing
          and reduces the possibility of installation error.  The following
          utilities are provided:
          o   Ezbackup
          o   Ezcustom
          o   Ezinstall
          o   Ezmkverify and ezverify
          o   Ezfilter
          o   Ezupdate.
                 Ezbackup, ezcustom, ezinstall, and ezmkverify/ezverify are
          used when building distribution media (boot diskette, installation
          diskette and backup media) perform routine system and/or user data
          backups and produce new distribution media when a system
          configuration change is made.  Ezfilter and ezupdate are used to
          update existing AIX configurations.
                 The EZ_UTILITIES package is designed to aid in the propagation
          of a master system to a target machine.  The use of these utilities
          assumes that the master system is fully installed and configured,
          then cloned or minimally tailored.  The purpose of the EZ_UTILITIES
          is to make this cloning process easier.
                 In addition, the EZ_UTILITIES package is designed as an aid in
          updating target machines as new versions/PTFs of AIX are made
          available.  Special utilities are provided to allow individual
          elements of PTFs to be selected and repackaged into customized media,
          which is then used when updating target machines.
                 The EZ_UTILITIES support both the ITBU and 6157 family of tape
          devices
