Overview

The performance, availability, and flexibility of the Power 720 Express server can
enable companies to spend more time running their business, using proven solutions
from thousands of ISVs that support the AIX® , IBM i, and Linux operating
TM

systems. The new Power 720 model (8202-E4D) includes enhancements that can be
particularly beneficial to clients running applications driving very high I/O or memory
requirements.

As a distributed application server, the Power 720 Express is designed to deliver

leading-edge application availability and enable more work to be processed with less
operational disruption for branch office and in-store applications. As consolidation
servers, PowerVM® Editions deliver the flexibility to use leading-edge AIX , IBM
i, and Linux applications. PowerVM Editions offer comprehensive virtualization
technologies designed to aggregate and manage resources while helping to simplify
and optimize your IT infrastructure and deliver one of the most cost-efficient
solutions for UNIX , IBM i, and Linux deployments.
TM

The Power 720 Express server with IBM i offers a technology foundation with proven
reliability and security for the small or midsized company seeking a complete,
integrated business system. This business system enables you to avoid increased
spending and staffing requirements while becoming more responsive to your
customers, improving your productivity, and keeping your data secure. IBM i
integrates features to simplify your IT environment and delivers a complete, cost-
effective business system that can grow with a business. The Power 720 delivers the
performance and capacity to run new and existing core business applications on a
single server, to greatly integrate and simplify your IT environment.

The Power 720 Express offers a choice of a 4-, 6-, or 8-core configuration in either a
4U rack-mount or a tower form factor. The Power 720 POWER7+ 3.6 GHz chip offers
industry-leading 64-bit, SMT4 threading, and up to 80 MB on-chip embedded DRAM
L3 cache, among other advantages.

The Power 720 Express server supports a maximum of 16 DDR3 DIMM slots, with
eight DIMM slots included in the base configuration and eight DIMM slots available
with an optional memory riser card. Memory features (two memory DIMMs per
feature) supported are 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB that run at speeds of 1066
MHz. A 6- or 8-core system with the optional memory riser card installed has a
maximum memory of 512 GB.

The POWER7+ hardware accelerator for Active Memory Expansion provides 25%
higher levels of memory expansion than available with POWER7® chips. While
POWER7 Systems offer up to 100% memory expansion that can effectively double
TM

the server's maximum memory, POWER7+ servers offer up to 125% memory

expansion for AIX partitions. Thus, a system memory maximum of 512 GB could
effectively become greater than 1 TB effective memory capacity. This can enhance
virtualization and server consolidation by enabling a partition to do significantly
more work with the same physical amount of memory or a server to run more
partitions and do more work with the same physical amount of memory.

The 6- and 8-core Power 720 Express servers deliver great I/O expandability. For
example, with 12X-attached I/O drawers, you can have up to 20 PCIe slots in
addition to the PCI slots in the system unit. Using disk bays in the system unit, 12X
feature 5802 I/O drawers, and feature 5887 EXP24S Disk Drawers, up to 380 disk
drives can be attached. Plus extensive quantities of externally attached storage and
tape drives and libraries can be attached. Note that the 4-core Power 720 Express
server does not support the attachment of 12X I/O drawers or feature 5887 EXP24S
Disk Drawers, and uses just the expansion capabilities in the system unit to offer
adequate expandability for many clients.

 Two new SSD packages offer ordering convenience and price savings for a new
server order. Each 6-pack SSD feature #ESR2/#ESR4 for the EXP30 Ultra SSD I/O
Drawer can provide up to 140,000 I/O operations per second (IOPS) in just 1/5th
of a 1U drawer. The 4-pack SSD feature #ESRA/ESRB/ESRC/ESRD can provide up
to 90,000 IOPS. A 4- or 6-pack SSD must be ordered with the server, not as a later
MES order.

The Power 720 Express system offers two storage backplanes. The first supports up
to six SFF SAS HDDs/SSDs, an SATA DVD, and a half-high tape drive. The second is
a higher-function backplane that supports up to eight SFF SAS HDDs/SSDs, an SATA
DVD, a half-high tape drive, Dual 175 MB Write Cache RAID, and an external SAS
port. HDDs and SSDs are hot-swap and front accessible.

Other integrated features include:

• Up to nine PCIe Gen2 x8 expansion slots:

– Five PCIe Gen2 x8 expansion slots
– Four additional PCIe Gen2 x8 low-profile slots (optional)
• One GX++ slot used to attach:
– PCIe riser card for the four additional PCIe Gen2 x8 slots
– 12X I/O loop (6-core and 8-core only)
– EXP30 Ultra SSD I/O Drawer (#EDR1) (6-core and 8-core only)
• One PCIe x4 expansion slot for 4-port 1 Gb Ethernet adapter (#5899)
• Service Processor
• Integrated SAS or SATA controller for HDD, SSD, tape, or DVD with RAID 10
support in system unit; RAID 5 and 6 available
• EnergyScale technology
• Two system ports and three USB ports
• Two Hardware Management Console (HMC) ports and two System Power Control
Network (SPCN) ports
• Redundant and hot-swap power available
• Redundant and hot-swap cooling

The new Power 720 Express model (8202-E4D) is particularly recommended when
your solution has high communications or other I/O requirements, or requires the
maximum amount of memory available. PCIe Gen2 slots can transfer data at double
the speed of many earlier servers that only offered PCIe Gen1 slots. The high data
transfer rates offered by the PCIe Gen2 slots can enable higher I/O performance or
consolidation of the I/O demands onto fewer adapters running at higher rates. This
can result in better system performance at a lower cost when I/O demands are high.

 • Alternative configuration options are available on a special bid basis from your
IBM representative or Business Partner.

IBM Editions

IBM Editions are available only as initial order.

If you order a Power 720 Express server IBM Edition as defined below, you can
qualify for half the initial configuration's processor core activations at no additional
charge.

The total memory (based on the number of cores) and the quantity/size of disk,
SSD, Fibre Channel adapters, or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) adapters
shipped with the server are the only features that determine if you are entitled to a
processor activation at no additional charge.

Specifically, with an IBM Edition, processor activations for the processor card options
are:

• 3.6 GHz 4-core processor module (#EPCK): 2 x #EPDK (chargeable) and 2 x

#EPEK (no-charge) with 4-core (1 x #EPCK) configuration
• 3.6 GHz 6-core processor module (#EPCL): 3 x #EPDL (chargeable) and 3 x
#EPEL (no-charge) with 6-core (1 x #EPCL) configuration
• 3.6 GHz 8-core processor module (#EPCM): 4 x #EPDM (chargeable) and 4 x
#EPEM (no-charge) with 8-core (1 x #EPCM) configuration

When you purchase an IBM Edition, you must purchase an AIX or IBM i operating
system license, or you may choose to purchase the system with or without a Linux
operating system. The AIX , IBM i, or Linux operating system is processed via
a feature number on AIX 6.1 or 7.1; IBM i 6.1.1 or IBM i 7.1; and SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux . If you choose AIX 6.1 or 7.1 for your
primary operating system, you can also order IBM i 6.1.1 or IBM i 7.1 and SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux . The converse is true if you
choose an IBM i or Linux subscription as your primary operating system.

These sample configurations can be changed as needed and still qualify for
processor entitlements at no additional charge. However, selection of total memory
or HDD or SSD/Fibre Channel/FCoE adapter quantities smaller than the totals
defined as the minimums disqualifies the order as an IBM Edition, and the no-charge
processor activations are then removed.

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

A minimum of 2 GB memory per core is needed to qualify for the IBM Edition.
Different valid memory configurations can meet the minimum requirement.

A minimum of two HDD, or two SSD, or two Fibre Channel adapters, or two FCoE
adapters. You only need to meet one of these disk/SSD/FC/FCoE criteria. Partial
criteria cannot be combined.

• Two SAS HDDs; any capacity drives located in the system unit, features 5802,
5886, or 5887 expansion drawers qualify.
• Two SAS SSDs; any capacity drives located in the system unit, features EDR1,
5802, 5886, 5887, EDR1 expansion drawers qualify.
• Two SSD Modules with eMLC (#1995/#1996); modules located in the system
unit with feature 2053 or 2054, or in feature 5802 or 5887 DASD drawer with
feature 2055 qualify.
• Two Fibre Channel adapters; either PCI-X or PCI-e adapters located in the
system unit or 12X-attached I/O drawer.
• Two Fibre Channel over Ethernet adapters, located in the system unit or PCIe
12X-attached I/O drawer.

 Multiple sample POWER7+ IBM Edition configurations are provided in the IBM
internal configurator tool, including:

• 3.6 GHz 4-core processor module

• 3.6 GHz 6-core processor module
• 3.6 GHz 8-core processor module

Express Editions and Solution Editions with the IBM i operating system

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

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

IBM i for Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence remains a top priority of midmarket companies, but budgets

and staff with skills to support enterprise BI solutions are very small in comparison
to enterprise accounts. IBM i clients have 90% or more of their data already in
DB2® for i, yet a large majority (thousands) are still using Query/400 for reporting
purposes. A significant number of clients have invested in tools that have a limited
future or are not keeping up with DB2 for IBM i query technology. Other offerings
force clients to move data to other systems.

The momentum around "analytics" is creating interest and opportunities to deliver

an alternative to Business Intelligence that makes sense by laying the groundwork
for data warehousing while showing immediate results with new levels of operational
reporting results.

Solution benefits

• Enables low-cost, value-built solution ( IBM i with Power Systems

TM
)
• Builds on popular DB2 Web Query

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 9
 • Offers two-stage implementation: Starts with operational reporting and optionally
grows into data warehousing

Stage 1: Building a reporting foundation

• Get new reports/information in days

• Replicate production database to a second system
• Isolate query workloads (tune, optimize)
• Offer limited data transformation
• Enable low-entry price point that you can build on
• Leverage the system for additional purposes

Stage 2: Growing into a data warehouse

• Requires the additional purchase of ETL software and associated services

• Transforms and cleanses data using the ETL process
• Improves analytics by restructuring of the data (for example, create a client
profiling database)
• Isolates query workloads (tune, optimize)
• Needs longer implementations; more services required

Model upgrades

Power 520 (8203-E4A) to the Power 720 (8202-E4D)

You can upgrade the 2-core or 4-core 8203-E4A with IBM POWER6® or POWER6+
TM

processors to the 6-core or 8-core IBM Power 720 (8202-E4D) with POWER7+
processors. For upgrades from POWER6 or POWER6+ processor-based systems,
IBM will install new CEC enclosures to replace the enclosures the client currently
has. The client's current CEC enclosures will be returned to IBM . Note the client is
upgrading from a system (8203-E4A) with one-year warranty into a system (8202-
E4D) with three-year warranty.

However, like the "B" or "C" model 720 same-serial-number upgrades existing
POWER6 feature numbers or model numbers converted to POWER7 feature numbers
retain the one-year warranty. Likewise, new or additional features ordered with
the POWER6 to POWER7 upgrade have a one-year warranty. However, new or
additional features ordered after the POWER6 520 has been upgraded to a POWER7
or POWER7+ 720 have a three-year warranty.

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 11
 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
machine type/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

The following processor conversions are supported:

8203-E4A Feature 8202-E4D Feature

#5634 2-core 4.2 GHz #EPCL 6-core 3.6 GHz

#5577 2-core 4.7 GHz #EPCL 6-core 3.6 GHz
#5635 4-core 4.2 GHz #EPCL 6-core 3.6 GHz
#5587 4-core 4.7 GHz #EPCL 6-core 3.6 GHz
#5634 2-core 4.2 GHz #EPCM 8-core 3.6 GHz
#5577 2-core 4.7 GHz #EPCM 8-core 3.6 GHz
#5635 4-core 4.2 GHz #EPCM 8-core 3.6 GHz
#5587 4-core 4.7 GHz #EPCM 8-core 3.6 GHz
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 (#5225, #5227, and #5228)
• I/O drawers (#5796, #5802, #5877, #5886, and #5887)
• Racks (#0551, #0553, and #0555)
• Rack doors (#6068, #6069, #6248, and #6249)
• Rack trim kits (#6246 and #6247)
• SATA DVD-ROM (#5743)
• SATA DVD-RAM (#5762)

The Power 720 can support the following 12X drawers and disk-only drawers:

• Feature 5802 and 5877 PCIe 12X I/O drawers

• Feature 5796 and 7413-G30 PCI-X (12X) I/O Drawer
• Feature 5886 EXP12S SAS DASD Drawer
• Feature 5997 EXP24S DASD Drawer

In the Power 720 system unit SAS bays, only the SAS SFF hard disks or SFF solid-
state drives are supported internally. The 3.5-inch HDD or SSD can be attached to
the Power 720 but must be located in a I/O drawer such as feature 5886.

Dynamic logical partitioning

The dynamic logical partitioning (LPAR) function provides enhanced resource

management for the Power 720 Express server. Dynamic LPAR allows available
system resources to be quickly and easily configured across multiple logical
partitions to meet the rapidly changing needs of your business.

Dynamic LPAR also enables you to add new system resources such as new HDDs
or SSDs into your system's configuration without requiring a reboot. Without
the optional PowerVM Standard Edition (#5227) or PowerVM Enterprise Edition
(#5228) feature, as many as eight LPARs are supported in an 8-core Power 720.
If the PowerVM Standard or Enterprise Edition feature is installed in the system, a

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 12
 maximum of 20 dynamic LPARs for each physical processor core can be defined,
with a system maximum of 160 dynamic LPARs.

An HMC or Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) is required to manage the Power

720 (8202-E4D) implementing partitioning. Multiple Power 720 servers can be
supported by a single HMC.

If an HMC is used to manage any Power 720 server, the HMC must be a rack-mount
HMC model CR3, or later, or deskside HMC model C05, or later.

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 the rack-
mount model CR3, or later, or deskside model C06, or later.

PowerVM Editions (optional)

Three optional PowerVM Edition features are now available on the Power 720:
PowerVM Express Edition, PowerVM Standard Edition, and PowerVM Enterprise
Edition. These are managed using built-in IVM software or optionally through use of
an HMC.

PowerVM Standard Edition (#5227) and PowerVM Enterprise Edition (#5228) enable
clients to create partitions in units of less than one CPU (sub-CPU LPARs) and enable
the same system I/O to be virtually added to these partitions. The optional features,
available for a fee, also include a software component that provides cross-partition
workload management.

PowerVM Standard and Enterprise Editions offer:

• Micro-Partitioning® (up to 20 partitions per processor core, 160 per system)

• Virtualized disk and optical devices (VIOS)
• Automated CPU reconfiguration
• Real-time partition configuration and load statistics
• Support for dedicated and shared processor LPAR groups
• Support for manual provisioning of resources

At initial order entry, selecting feature number 5227 or 5228 will result in Micro-
Partitioning to be enabled during manufacture and the enabling software media and
publications to be shipped to the client. When ordering feature number 5227 or
5228 as an MES, an activation key will be posted on an IBM website, and the client
must retrieve it and install it on the system.

Visit the IBM website at

http://www-912.ibm.com/pod/pod

Other features of PowerVM Editions:

• If any processors in a system have the Virtualization feature, all active

processors must have it.
• Once the Virtualization feature is installed in a system, it cannot be removed.
• Virtual Ethernet and Virtual Storage are part of PowerVM Editions.

PowerVM Enterprise Edition also includes Live Partition Mobility, which allows for the
movement of a logical partition from one POWER6 or POWER7 server to another
with no application downtime, and Active Memory Sharing, which dynamically
reallocates memory between running logical partitions on a server. Also available is
PowerVM Express (#5225), designed for users looking for an introduction to more
advanced virtualization features at a highly affordable price. With PowerVM Express
and IVM, users can create up to three partitions on the server, leverage VIOS, utilize
Shared Dedicated Capacity to help optimize use of processor cycles, and even try
out the Shared Processor Pool. With its intuitive browser-based interface, IVM is

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 13
 easy to use and helps reduce the time and effort required to manage virtual devices,
processors, and partitions. An HMC is not required.

Clients can upgrade from PowerVM Express to either PowerVM Standard or PowerVM
Enterprise, or they can upgrade from PowerVM Standard to PowerVM Enterprise.

By upgrading to PowerVM Standard or PowerVM Enterprise, users can create up

to 160 logical partitions on the Power 720. They can also manage their PowerVM
enabled machine with either an HMC or the IVM.

By upgrading to PowerVM Enterprise, users can leverage Live Partition Mobility and
Active Memory Sharing.

Power 720 Capacity BackUp (CBU) capability

(Applies to IBM i only)

The Power 720 system's 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 IBM
i user license entitlements purchased for a primary machine to a secondary CBU-
designated system. Temporarily transferring these resources instead of purchasing
them for your secondary system may result in significant savings. Processor
activations cannot be transferred.

The CBU specify feature 0444 is available only as part of a new server purchase
or during a model upgrade from a Power 520 into the Power 720. 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 IBM
i user license 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 IBM i user
license entitlements from the primary system to the CBU system when the primary
system is down or while the primary system processors are inactive. The CBU
system can then better support failover and role swapping for a full range of test,
disaster recovery, and high availability scenarios. Temporary entitlement transfer
means that the entitlement is a property transferred from the primary system to the
CBU system and may remain in use on the CBU system as long as the registered
primary and CBU system are in deployment for the high availability or disaster
recovery operation.

The primary system for a 4-core Power 720 (8202-E4D) server with its IBM i P05
software tier can be a POWER6 , POWER7 , or POWER7+ server with a P05, P10, or

The primary machine must be in the same enterprise and country as the CBU
system.

Before you can temporarily transfer IBM i processor license entitlements from the
registered primary system, you must have more than one IBM i processor license
on the primary machine and at least one IBM i processor license on the CBU server.
An activated processor must be available on the CBU server to use the transferred
entitlement. You can then transfer any IBM i processor entitlements above the
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. These
warning messages in this situation do not mean you are not in compliance.

Before you can temporarily transfer IBM i user entitlements, you must have more
than the minimum number of IBM i user entitlements on a 9408, 8203, or 8202
primary server. You can then transfer any IBM i user entitlements above the
minimum, assuming the total IBM i users on the primary system do not require the
IBM i entitlement you want to transfer during the time of the transfer. The Power
550, 560, 740, and 750 do not have user entitlements that can be transferred and
only processor license entitlements can be transferred. The minimum number of IBM
i users on the POWER6 and POWER7 with i user entitlements are:

• Power 520 1-core (9407-M15, 8203-E4A): 5 users

• Power 520 2-core (9408-M25, 8203-E4A): 30 users
• Power 520 4-core (8203-E4A): 50 users
• Power 720 4-core (8202-E4B), 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D: 5 users

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 15
 • Power 720 6-core or 8-core (8202-E4B), 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D: 30 users

For example, if you have a 2-core Power 520 (8203-E4A or 9408-M25) as your
primary system with two IBM i processor license entitlements (one above the
minimum) and 50 IBM i user entitlements (20 above the minimum), you can
temporarily transfer up to one IBM i entitlement and up to 20 user entitlements.
During this temporary transfer, the CBU system's internal records of its total number
of IBM i processor and user license entitlements is not updated, and you may see
IBM i license noncompliance warning messages from the CBU system.

Note that if the Power 720 CBU server has just one partition and if it is using the
default parameters set by IBM Manufacturing, the IBM i licensing manager will
ignore the temporary transfer and will not use additional processor cores. To work
around this restriction for valid CBU situations, you can add a partition with no
resource on your server or implement a shared processor pool.

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. For CBU registration and further information, visit

increase overall server expandability and connectivity.

• Feature 5802 enables 10 PCIe slots and 18 SFF SAS DASD slots.
• Feature 5877 enables 10 PCIe slots.
• Feature 5796 enables six PCI-X slots (supported but not orderable).
• The 7314-G30 enables six PCI-X slots (supported but not orderable).

Three disk-only I/O drawers are also supported, providing large storage capacity and
multiple partition support:

• Feature 5887 EXP24S holds twenty-four 2.5-inch (SFF) SAS HDDs or SSDs.
• Feature EDR1 EXP30 holds 30 SSDs and two integrated SAS adapters.
• Feature 5886 EXP12S holds twelve 3.5-inch SAS HDDs or SSDs (supported but
not orderable).

Feature number I/O drawers available for order on the Power 720

PCI-X DDR 12X Expansion Drawer (#5796) (supported only -- not

orderable)

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 22.4 cm (8.8 in) wide and takes up half
the width of the 4 EIA rack space. Feature 5796 requires the use of a feature 7314
drawer-mounting enclosure. The 4 EIA tall enclosure can hold up to two feature
5796 drawers mounted side by side in the enclosure. The PCI-DDR 12X Expansion
Drawer has six 64-bit, 3.3 V, 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. You must select one of the two available
interface adapters for use in the feature 5796 drawer, either 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.

A maximum of four feature 5796 drawers can be placed on the same 12X loop.
Mixing features 5802 or 5877 and 5796 on the same loop is not supported. Mixing
feature 5796 and the 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) and two ac power cables and two SPCN cables is required to ensure proper

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 16
 redundancy. The drawer attaches to the host CEC enclosure with a 12X adapter in a
GX slot via 12X SDR or DDR cables.

The Power 720 uses the GX++ Dual-port 12x Channel Attach (#EJ04) adapter to
attach a feature 5796 12X I/O Drawer using SDR speed.

PCI-X DDR 12X Expansion Drawer (7314-G30) (supported -- not orderable)

The 7314-G30 is equivalent to the feature 5796 described above with one key
difference: IBM i does not support this I/O drawer. Otherwise, it provides the same
six PCI-X DDR slots per unit and has the same configuration rules/considerations as
feature 5796.

12X I/O Drawer PCIe, SFF disk (#5802)

This feature includes a 4U high, 19-inch I/O drawer containing 10 PCIe 8x I/O
adapter slots and 18 SAS hot-swap SFF SAS disk bays, which can be used for either
disk drives or SSDs. Using 300 GB disk drives, the feature 5802 offers up to 5.4 TB
of storage. Using larger disk drives delivers even more capacity.

The 18 disk bays can be organized either into one group of 18 bays ( AIX or Linux ),
two groups of nine slots ( AIX , IBM i, or Linux ), or four groups of four or five bays
( AIX or Linux ). Selecting either one, two, or four groups of drive bays is done with
a mode switch on the drawer.

A maximum of two feature 5802 drawers can be placed on the same 12X loop.
Mixing feature 5802 and feature 5796 and the 7314-G30 on the same loop is not
supported. Mixing feature 5802 and feature 5877 on the same loop is supported
with a maximum of two drawers total per loop. The PCIe adapter slots use Gen3
blind-swap cassettes and support hot plugging of adapter cards. A minimum
configuration of two 12X DDR cables and two ac power cables and two SPCN cables
is required to ensure proper redundancy. 12X SDR cables are not supported. The
drawer attaches to the host CEC enclosure with a 12X adapter in a GX slot via 12X
DDR cables (#1861/#1862/#1864/#1865).

The Power 720 uses the GX++ Dual-port 12x Channel Attach (#EJ04) adapter to
attach a feature 5802 12X I/O Drawer. The feature EJ04 provides double data rate
(DDR) capacity bandwidth.

12X I/O Drawer PCIe, No disk (#5877)

This feature provides a 4U high 19-inch I/O drawer containing 10 PCIe 8x I/O
adapter slots.

A maximum of two feature 5877 drawers can be placed on the same 12X loop.
Mixing features 5877 and 5796/7314-G30 on the same loop is not supported. Mixing
features 5802 and 5877 on the same loop is supported with a maximum of two
drawers total per loop. The PCIe adapter slots use Gen3 blind-swap cassettes and
support hot plugging of adapter cards. A minimum configuration of two 12X DDR
cables and two ac power cables and two SPCN cables is required to ensure proper
redundancy; 12X SDR cables are not supported. The drawer attaches to the host
CEC enclosure with a 12X adapter in a GX slot via 12X DDR cables (#1861/#1862/
#1864/#1865).

The Power 720 uses the GX++ Dual-port 12x Channel Attach (#EJ04) adapter to
attach a feature 5877 12X I/O Drawer. Feature EJ04 offers DDR capacity bandwidth.

Note that conversions between a diskless feature 5877 and a feature 5802 with disk
bays are not available.

EXP 12S SAS Drawer (#5886) (supported only -- not orderable)

The EXP 12S SAS drawer (#5886) is a 2 EIA drawer and mounts in a 19-inch rack.
The drawer can hold either SAS disk drives or SSDs. The EXP 12S SAS drawer
has twelve 3.5-inch SAS disk bays with redundant data paths to each bay. The
drawer supports redundant hot-plug power and cooling and redundant hot-swap SAS

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 17
 expanders (Enclosure Services Manager-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 or PCI-X SAS adapters connected to the EXP12S via SAS cables. The SAS cable
will vary, depending upon the adapter being used, the operating system being used,
and the protection you need.

• The large cache PCI-X feature 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 is used for
controller redundancy.
• The medium cache PCI-X feature 5902 and PCIe feature 5805 adapters are
always paired and use a SAS X cable to attach the feature 5886 I/O drawer.
• The zero cache PCI-X feature 5912 and PCIe feature 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 is 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 feature 5886 can also be directly attached to the SAS port on the rear of the
Power 720, providing a low-cost disk storage solution. When used this way, the
imbedded SAS controllers in the system unit drive the disk drives in EXP12S. A
second unit cannot be cascaded to a feature 5886 attached in this way.

EXP24S SFF Gen2-Bay Drawer (#5887)

The EXP24S SFF Gen2-Bay Drawer is an expansion drawer with twenty-four 2.5-
inch small form-factor (SFF) SAS bays. It supports up to 24 hot-swap SFF SAS HDDs
on POWER6 or POWER7 servers in 2U of 19-inch rack space. The EXP24S bays are
controlled by SAS adapters/controllers attached to the I/O drawer by SAS X or Y
cables.

The SFF bays of the EXP24S are different from the SFF bays of the POWER7 system
units or 12X PCIe I/O Drawer (#5802). The EXP24S uses Gen2 or SFF-2 SAS drives
that physically do not fit in the Gen1 or SFF-1 bays of the POWER7 system unit or
12X PCIe I/O Drawers or vice versa.

The following SFF-2/Gen2 SAS drives can be used in the EXP24S:

• HDD
– 10,000 rpm 283 GB/300 GB (#1956, #1925, #1844, and #1869)
– 10,000 rpm 571 GB/600 GB (#1962, #1964, #1817, and #1818)
– 10,000 rpm 856 GB (#1738 and #EQ38)
– 10,000 rpm 900 GB (#1752 and #EQ52)
– 15,000 rpm 139 GB/146 GB (#1947, #1917, #1868, and #1866)
– 15,000 rpm 283 GB (#1948 and #1927)
– 10,000 rpm 283 GB (#1953 and #1929)
• SSD
– 177 GB (#1793, #1794, #1887, and #1958)
– 387 GB (#ESRC, #ESRD, #ES0C, #ES0D, #EQ0C, and #EQ0D)

The SAS adapters/controllers that support the EXP24S are:

• PCI-X 1.5 GB Cache SAS RAID Adapter 3 Gb (#5908)

• PCIe2 1.8 GB Cache RAID SAS Adapter Tri-port 6 Gb (#5913)

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 18
 • PCIe Dual-x4 SAS Adapter 3 Gb (#5901, #5278)

The integrated SAS controllers that support the EXP24S off the imbedded SAS port
on the rear of the server are in:

• The Power 710, 720, 730, 740, 750, 755, 770, and 780
• The Power 520 (8203-E4A) and Power 550 (8204-E8A)

AIX , Linux , and VIOS support all of the above SAS adapters/controllers with
the EXP24S. IBM i supports all but the feature 5901 and 5278 adapters with the
EXP24S.

Up to 24 HDDs can be supported with any of the supported SAS adapters/

controllers.

The EXP24S has an adjustable set of rails that allows it to fit in standard Power
Systems 19-inch racks such as the 7014-T42 or -T00 or the feature 0551 or 0553.

EXP30 Ultra SSD I/O Drawer (#EDR1)

Feature EDR1 is a 1U high I/O drawer that includes 30 hot-swap SSD bays and a
pair of integrated large write cache, high-performance SAS controllers. Ultra high
levels of performance are provided without using any PCIe slots on the POWER7+
server in an ultra-dense packaging design.

The two high-performance, integrated SAS controllers each physically provide

3.1 GB write cache. Working as a pair, they deliver mirrored write cache data and
controller redundancy. The cache contents are designed to be protected by built-in
flash memory in case of power failure. If the pairing is broken, write cache is not
used after existing cache content is written out to the drive and performance will
probably be slowed until the controller pairing is re-established.

Each controller is connected to a GX++ PCIe adapter in a server (for example,

#EJ03) over a PCIe x8 cable (for example, #EN05 or #EN07). Usually both
controllers are attached to one server, but each controller can be assigned to a
different server or partition or VIOS. Active/Active capability is supported assuming
at least two RAID arrays. The controllers provide RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID
10 for AIX , Linux , and VIOS. The controllers enable RAID 5 and RAID 6 for IBM i.
AIX , IBM i, Linux , and VIOS also include OS mirroring (LVM). The adapter's CCIN is
57C3.

eMLC SSDs designed to fit in the Ultra drawer bays such as the 387 GB #ES02 SSD
are used. A minimum of six SSDs are required in each Ultra drawer. Each controller
can access all 30 SSD bays. The bays can be configured as one set of bays run by
a pair of controllers working together. Or the bays can be divided into two logical
sets where each of the two controllers "owns" one of the logical sets. With proper
software, if one of the controllers fails, the other controller can run both sets of
bays.

19-inch racks

The Model 8202-E4D and its I/O drawers are designed to mount in the 25U 7014-
S25 (#0555), 36U 7014-T00 (#0551), or the 42U 7014-T42 (#0553) rack. These
racks are built to the 19-inch EIA standard. When you order a new 8202 system,
you can also order the appropriate 7014 rack model with the system hardware on
the same initial order. IBM is making the racks available as features of the 8202-
E4D when you order additional I/O drawer hardware for an existing system (MES
order). The rack feature number 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.

Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features

Reliability, fault tolerance, and data correction

The reliability of systems starts with components, devices, and subsystems that
are designed to be highly reliable. The POWER7+ processor SCM uses lower-
voltage technology, improving reliability with stacked latches to reduce soft error
(SER) susceptibility. During the design and development process, subsystems go
through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During system
manufacturing, systems go through a thorough testing process to help ensure the
highest level of product quality.

The system cache and memory offer ECC (error checking and correcting) fault-
tolerant features. ECC is designed to correct environmentally induced, single-bit,
intermittent memory failures and single-bit hard failures. With ECC, the likelihood of
memory failures will be reduced. ECC also offers double-bit memory error detection
that helps protect data in the event of a double-bit memory failure.

The AIX and IBM i operating systems provide disk drive mirroring and disk drive
controller duplexing. The Linux operating system supports disk drive mirroring
(RAID 1) through software, while other RAID protection schemes are delivered via
hardware RAID adapters.

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 20
 Memory error correction extensions
The memory has single-bit-error correction and double-bit-error detection ECC
circuitry. The ECC code is also designed such that the failure of any one specific
memory module within an ECC word by itself can be corrected absent any other
fault.

Memory protection features include scrubbing to detect errors, a means to call for
the deallocation of memory pages for a pattern of correctable errors detected, and
signaling deallocation of a logical memory block when an error occurs that cannot be
corrected by the ECC code.

Fault monitoring functions

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

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

Environmental monitoring functions

POWER7+ technology-based servers include a range of environmental monitoring
functions:

• Temperature monitoring warns the system administrator of potential

environmental-related problems by monitoring the air inlet temperature. When
the inlet temperature rises above a warning threshold, the system initiates an
orderly shutdown. When the temperature exceeds the critical level or if the
temperature remains above the warning level for too long, the system will shut
down immediately.
• Fan speed is controlled by monitoring actual temperatures on critical components
and adjusting accordingly. If internal component temperatures reach critical
levels, the system will shut down immediately, regardless of fan speed. When a
redundant fan fails, the system calls out the failing fan and continues running.
When a nonredundant fan fails, the system shuts down immediately.

Availability enhancement functions

The POWER7 family of systems continues to offer and introduce significant
enhancements designed to increase system availability.

POWER7+ processor functions

As in POWER6 and POWER7 , the POWER7+ processor can perform processor

instruction retry and alternate processor recovery for a number of core-related
faults. This is designed to significantly reduce exposure to both hard (logic) and
soft (transient) errors in the processor core. Soft failures in the processor core
are transient (intermittent) errors, often due to cosmic rays or other sources of
radiation, and generally are not repeatable. When an error is encountered in the
core, the POWER7+ processor is designed to first automatically retry the instruction.
If the source of the error was truly transient, the instruction will succeed and the
system will continue as before. On IBM systems before POWER6 , this error would
have caused a checkstop.

Hard failures are more difficult, being true logical errors that will be replicated
each time the instruction is repeated. Retrying the instruction will not help in this
situation. As in POWER6 and POWER7 , POWER7+ processors can extract the failing
instruction from the faulty core and retry it elsewhere in the system for a number

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 21
 of faults, after which the failing core is dynamically deconfigured and called out for
replacement. These systems are designed to avoid a full system outage.

POWER7+ single processor checkstopping

As in POWER6 , POWER7+ includes single processor checkstopping for certain faults

that cannot be handled by the availability enhancements described in the preceding
section. This significantly reduces the probability of any one processor affecting total
system availability.

Partition availability priority

Also available is the ability to assign availability priorities to partitions. If an

alternate processor recovery event requires spare processor resources in order
to protect a workload, when no other means of obtaining the spare resources
is available, the system will determine which partition has the lowest priority
and attempt to claim the needed resource. On a properly configured POWER7+
processor-based server, this allows that capacity to be first obtained from, for
example, a test partition instead of a financial accounting system.

POWER7+ cache availability

The L2 and L3 caches in the POWER7+ processor are protected with double-
bit detect, single-bit correct error detection code (ECC). In addition, the caches
maintain a cache line delete capability. A threshold of correctable errors detected on
a cache line can result in the data in the cache line being purged and the cache line
removed from further operation without requiring a reboot. An ECC uncorrectable
error detected in the cache can also trigger a purge and delete of the cache line.
This results in no loss of operation if the cache line contained data unmodified from
what was stored in system memory. Modified data would be handled through Special
Uncorrectable Error handling. L1 data and instruction caches also have a retry
capability for intermittent error and a cache set delete mechanism for handling solid
failures. In addition, the POWER7+ processors also have the ability to dynamically
substitute a faulty bit-line in an L3 cache dedicated to a processor with a spare bit-
line.

Special uncorrectable error handling

Special uncorrectable error (SUE) handling prevents an uncorrectable error in

memory or cache from immediately causing the system to terminate. Rather, the
system tags the data and determines whether it will ever be used again. If the error
is irrelevant, it will not force a check stop. If the data is used, termination may be
limited to the program/kernel or hypervisor owning the data; or the I/O adapters
controlled by an I/O hub controller would freeze if data were transferred to an I/O
device.

PCI extended error handling

PCI extended error handling (EEH)-enabled adapters respond to a special data

packet generated from the affected PCI slot hardware by calling system firmware,
which will examine the affected bus, allow the device driver to reset it, and continue
without a system reboot. For Linux , EEH support extends to the majority of
frequently used devices, although some third-party PCI devices may not provide
native EEH support.

Predictive failure and dynamic component deallocation

Servers with Power processors have long been able to perform predictive failure
analysis on certain critical components such as processors and memory. When
these components exhibit certain symptoms that may indicate a failure is imminent,
the system can dynamically deallocate and call home, when enabled, about the
failing part before the error is propagated system-wide. In many cases, the system
will first attempt to reallocate resources in such a way that will avoid unplanned
outages. In the event that insufficient resources exist to maintain full system
availability, these servers will attempt to maintain partition availability by user-
defined priority.

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 22
 Uncorrectable error recovery

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

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

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

• Design for client setup (CSU), client installed features (CIF), and customer
replaceable units (CRU)
• Error detection and fault isolation (ED/FI)
• First failure data capture (FFDC)
• Converged service approach across multiple IBM server platforms

Service environments

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

The POWER7 processor-based platforms support two main service environments:

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

Service Interface

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

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

• LEDs
• Operator Panel
• Service Processor menu
• Operating system service menu

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 23
 • Service Focal Point on the HMC
TM

• Service Focal Point Lite on IVM

In the light path LED implementation, the system can clearly identify components
for replacement by using specific component-level LEDs, and can also guide the
servicer directly to the component by signaling (turning on solid) the amber system
fault LED, enclosure fault LED, and the component FRU fault LED. The servicer
can also use the identify function to blink the FRU-level LED. When this function is
activated, a roll-up to the blue enclosure locate and system locate LEDs will occur.
These LEDs will turn on solid and can be used to follow the light path from the
system to the enclosure and down to the specific FRU.

First-failure data capture (FFDC) and error data analysis

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

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

In the rare absence of FFDC and error data analysis, diagnostics are required to re-
create the failure and determine the failing items.

Diagnostics

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

• Common error code format equivalent to a system reference code, system

reference number, checkpoint, or firmware error code.
• Fault detection and problem isolation procedures.
• Support for remote connection to be used by the IBM Remote Support Center or
IBM Designated Service.
• Interactive intelligence within the diagnostics with detailed online failure
information while connected to IBM's back-end system.

Automatic diagnostics

Because of the FFDC technology designed into IBM servers, it is not necessary to
perform re-create diagnostics for failures or require user intervention. Solid and
intermittent errors are designed to be correctly detected and isolated at the time the
failure occurs. Runtime and boottime diagnostics fall into this category.

Stand-alone diagnostics

As the name implies, stand-alone or user-initiated diagnostics require user

intervention. The user must perform manual steps, including:

• Using disk-based diagnostics

• Keying in commands
• Interactively selecting steps from a list of choices

Concurrent maintenance

The system will continue to support concurrent maintenance of power, cooling,

HDD or SSD, DVD, and firmware updates (when possible). The determination of
whether a firmware release can be updated concurrently is identified in the readme
information file released with the firmware.

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 24
 Service labels

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

• Location diagrams: Location diagrams are strategically located on the

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

Packaging for service

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

• Color coding (touch points): Terracotta-colored touch points indicate that a

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

Error handling and reporting

In the event of system hardware or environmentally induced failure, the system
runtime error capture capability systematically analyzes the hardware error
signature to determine the cause of failure. The analysis result will be stored in
system NVRAM. When the system can be successfully restarted either manually or
automatically, the error will be reported to the operating system. Error Log Analysis
(ELA) can be used to display the failure cause and the physical location of the failing
hardware.

With the integrated Service Processor, the system has the ability to automatically
send out an alert via phone line to a pager or call for service in the event of a critical
system failure. A hardware fault will also turn on the amber system fault LED located
on the system unit to alert the user of an internal hardware problem. The indicator
may also be set to blink by the operator as a tool to allow system identification.
For identification, the blue locate LED on the enclosure and at the system level will
turn on solid. The amber system fault LED will be on solid when an error condition
occurs.

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 25
 On POWER7+ processor-based servers, hardware and software failures are recorded
in the system log. When an HMC is attached, an ELA routine analyzes the error,
forwards the event to the Service Focal Point (SFP) application running on the
HMC, and notifies the system administrator that it has isolated a likely cause of
the system problem. The Service Processor event log also records unrecoverable
checkstop conditions, forwards them to the SFP application, and notifies the system
administrator. Once the information is logged in the SFP application, if the system is
properly configured, a call home service request will be initiated and the pertinent
failure data with service parts information and part locations will be sent to an IBM
service organization. Client contact information and specific system-related data
such as the machine type, model, and serial number, along with error log data
related to the failure are sent to IBM Service.

Live partition mobility

With Live Partition Mobility, you can migrate an AIX or Linux partition running on
one POWER7 or POWER7+ partition system to another POWER6 , POWER7 , or
POWER7+ system without disrupting services. Also, IBM i and Linux partitions are
enabled to migrate to another system without disrupting services. The migration
transfers the entire system environment, including processor state, memory,
attached virtual devices, and connected users. It provides continuous operating
system and application availability during planned partition outages for repair of
hardware and firmware faults, or continuous availability during a concurrent repair
that requires freeing up CEC resources.

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

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

Call Home

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

for automated call home. Refer to the next section for specific details on this
application.

IBM Electronics Services

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

Integrated in the operating system in addition to the HMC, Electronic Service Agent
is designed to automatically and electronically report system failures and client-
perceived issues to IBM , which can result in faster problem resolution and increased
IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 26
 availability. System configuration and inventory information collected by Electronic
Service Agent also can be viewed on the secure Electronic Services web portal and
used to improve problem determination and resolution between the client and the
IBM support team. As part of an increased focus to provide even better service
to IBM clients, Electronic Service Agent tool configuration and activation comes
standard with the system. In support of this effort, a new HMC External Connectivity
security white paper has been published, which describes data exchanges between
the HMC and the IBM Service Delivery Center (SDC) and the methods and protocols
for this exchange. To read the whitepaper and prepare for Electronic Service Agent
installation, go to the "Reference Guide" section at

Benefits
Increased uptime:

Electronic Service Agent is designed to enhance the warranty and maintenance

service by providing faster hardware error reporting and uploading system
information to IBM Support. This can optimize the time monitoring the symptoms,
diagnosing the error, and manually calling IBM Support to open a problem record.
And 24x7 monitoring and reporting means no more dependency on human
intervention or off-hours client personnel when errors are encountered in the middle
of the night.

Security:

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

More accurate reporting:

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

Customized support:

Using the IBM ID entered during activation, you can view system and support
information in the "My Systems" and "Premium Search" sections of the Electronic
Services website.

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

My Systems provides valuable reports of installed hardware and software using

information collected from the systems by IBM Electronic Service Agent . Reports
are available for any system associated with the client's IBM ID. Premium Search
combines the function of search and the value of Electronic Service Agent

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 27
 information, providing advanced search of the technical support knowledgebase.
Using Premium Search and the Service Agent information that has been collected
from the system, you can see search results that apply specifically to your systems.

RAID

Multiple protection options exist for HDD/SSD drives in the SAS SFF bays in the
Power 720 system unit or drives in 12X attached I/O drawers or drives in disk-
only I/O drawers. Although protecting drives is always recommended, AIX/Linux
users may choose to leave some or all drives unprotected at their own risk and IBM
supports these configurations. IBM i configuration rules differ in this regard, and IBM
supports IBM i partition configurations only when HDD/SSD drives are protected.

This HDD/SSD drive protection can be provided by AIX/IBM i/Linux software or by

the HDD/SSD hardware controllers. Mirroring of drives is provided by AIX/IBM i/
Linux software. In addition, AIX/Linux supports controllers providing RAID 0, 5,
6, or 10. IBM i integrated storage management already provides striping, so IBM
i also supports controllers providing RAID 5 or 6. To further augment HDD/SSD
protection, hot spare capability can be used for protected drives. Specific hot spare
prerequisites apply.

An integrated SAS HDD/SSD controller is provided in the Power 720 system unit and
is indicated by feature 5618 and provides support for JBOD and RAID 0, 1, and 10.
Feature 5618 is optionally augmented by the ability to split the drive bays into two
groups when feature EJ02 is added to the configuration. For even more function,
feature EJ01 can be used instead of feature 5618 or feature 5618 plus feature EJ02.
Feature EJ01 provides RAID 0, 5, 6, and 10. In addition to these protection options,
mirroring of drives by the operating system is supported. AIX or Linux supports all
of these options. IBM i does not use JBOD and uses imbedded functions instead of
RAID 10, but does leverage the RAID 5 or 6 function of the integrated controllers.
Other disk/SSD controllers are provided as PCI adapters. PCI-X SCSI, PCI-X SAS,
and PCIe SAS adapters are supported. PCI Controllers with and without write cache
are supported. RAID 5 and RAID 6 on controllers with write cache are supported
with one exception. The PCIe RAID and SSD SAS Adapter has no write cache but
supports RAID 5 and RAID 6.

AIX/Linux can use disk drives formatted with 512 byte blocks when being mirrored
by the operating system. These disk drives must be reformatted to 528 byte sectors
when used in RAID arrays. Although a small percentage of the drive's capacity is
lost, additional data protection such as ECC and bad block detection is gained in
this reformatting. For example, a 300 GB disk drive when reformatted provides
around 283 GB. IBM i always uses drives formatted to 528 bytes. IBM Power SSDs
are formatted to 528 bytes.

Limitations
System

• Integrated system ports are not supported under AIX or Linux when the HMC
ports are connected to an HMC. Either the HMC ports or the integrated system
ports can be used, but not both. IBM i can continue to use a system port for
communication to a UPS, even with an HMC attached.
• The integrated system ports are supported for modem and asynch terminal
connections by AIX or Linux . Any other application using serial ports requires a
serial port adapter to be installed in a PCI slot. The integrated system ports do
not support HACMP configurations. IBM i only supports the use of the system
TM

ports for attachment to a UPS.

Hardware Management Console (HMC) machine code

An HMC or IVM is required to manage the Power 720 (8202-E4D) implementing

partitioning. Multiple POWER7+ processor-based servers can be supported by a
single HMC.

If an HMC is used to manage the Power 720, the HMC must be a rack-mount HMC
model CR3, or later, or deskside HMC model C05, or later.

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.
Machine code includes firmware and microcode. Access to machine code updates
is conditioned on entitlement and license validation in accordance with IBM policy
and practice. IBM may verify entitlement through customer number, serial number,
electronic restrictions, or any other means or methods employed by IBM in its
discretion.

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 48
 To determine the HMC machine code level required for the firmware level on any
server, go to the following web page 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.

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.

The HMC Release 7.7.0 Service Pack 1 contains support for managing IBM Power
710, 720, 730, 740, and IBM PowerLinux 7R1/7R2 systems.
TM

The HMC V7.7.0 (SP1) contains the following:

• Support for managing IBM Power 750 and 760

• Support for PowerVM functions such as new HMC GUI interface for VIOS install
• Improved transition from IVM to HMC management
• Support for 802.1 Qbg on virtual Ethernet adapters

maximum of 2 x feature 6665 is allowed on the system unless a valid I/O drawer or
tower is attached to the system.

The Power 720 supports 110-127 V ac and 200-240 V ac.

System memory

• A minimum 8 GB or two DIMMs of memory is required on the Power 720 system.

• A system with the 4-core processor module (#EPCK) does not support the 32
GB memory feature EM4C or 64 GB memory feature EM4D. Maximum system
memory with feature EPCK is 32 GB without feature EM01 and 64 GB with
feature EM01.

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 50
 • The base machine contains one nonfeaturized memory riser card with eight
DIMM sockets. Memory features consume two memory DIMM sockets.
• An optional memory riser card feature (#EM01) with an additional eight DIMM
sockets is available. Maximum system memory is 256 GB without feature EM01
and 512 GB with feature EM01.
• A system can be ordered with a single memory feature.
• It is generally recommended that memory be installed evenly across all memory
riser cards in the system. Balancing memory across the installed memory riser
cards allows memory access in a consistent manner and typically results in the
best possible performance for your configuration. However, balancing memory
fairly evenly across multiple memory riser cards, compared to balancing memory
exactly evenly, typically has a very small performance difference.

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.

IBM Electronic Services

Electronic Service Agent and the IBM Electronic Support web portal are dedicated to
providing fast, exceptional support to IBM Systems customers. The IBM Electronic
Service Agent tool is a no-additional-charge tool that proactively monitors and
reports hardware events, such as system errors, performance issues, and inventory.
The Electronic Service Agent tool can help you stay focused on your company's
strategic business initiatives, save time, and spend less effort managing day-to-day
IT maintenance issues. Servers enabled with this tool can be monitored remotely
around the clock by IBM Support all at no additional cost to you.

Now integrated into the base operating system of AIX 6.1 and AIX 7.1, Electronic
Service Agent is designed to automatically and electronically report system failures
and utilization issues to IBM , which can result in faster problem resolution and
increased availability. System configuration and inventory information collected
by the Electronic Service Agent tool also can be viewed on the secure Electronic
Support web portal, and used to improve problem determination and resolution by
you and the IBM support team. To access the tool main menu, simply type "smitty
esa_main", and select "Configure Electronic Service Agent ." In addition, ESA now
includes a powerful Web user interface, giving the administrator easy access to
status, tool settings, problem information, and filters. For more information and
documentation on how to configure and use Electronic Service Agent , refer to

http://www.ibm.com/support/electronic

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

Benefits

Increased uptime: The Electronic Service Agent tool is designed to enhance the
Warranty or Maintenance Agreement by providing faster hardware error reporting
and uploading system information to IBM Support. This can translate to less wasted
time monitoring the "symptoms," diagnosing the error, and manually calling IBM
Support to open a problem record. Its 24 x 7 monitoring and reporting mean no
more dependence on human intervention or off-hours customer personnel when
errors are encountered in the middle of the night.

Security: The Electronic Service Agent tool is designed to be secure in monitoring,

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

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

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

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 113-010 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 58
 http://www.ibm.com/support/electronic

My Systems provides valuable reports of installed hardware and software using

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