What is the IBM PowerLinuxTM solution for Linux Application Services ?

The platform

IBM PowerLinuxTM servers with PowerVM™ offer a highly virtualized, cloud-ready platform tuned for popular Linux applications to support more virtual workloads per server

The software stack

Virtualized open source applications provide an economical software stack for replacing more expensive infrastructure applications with robust open source software offerings.

Open source applications for PowerLinux are included with commercial Linux distributions from Red Hat and Novell, and are supported by Red Hat, SUSE or IBM.

Key differentiators that deliver customer value

• Faster and more economical delivery of Linux services via PowerLinux/PowerVM platform tuned for Open Source Apps.

• Implementation/Tuning Guide, IBM Lab Services, Migration Factory via local reseller to insure up and running quickly

IBM i 7.1 Technology Refresh 1 – Oct. 2010 Virtual Media Auto-Changer

– Client partitions can change the image loaded in the server's IMGCLG. – Customer Value: Load media into one partition's IMGCLG and do unattended installs of other IBM i

LPARs on the same box.

Virtual optical media library – Migrate optical libraries into a virtual optical media library backed by disk.

Y4 Cryptographic card for IBM i customers– PCIe attached so it can plug into the newer PCIe slots

Support for LTO5 in TS2900 Tape Library – Low Profile Entry level Tape Library TS2900 will now support the newest LTO5 tape drive. (Tucson

will announce in Feb, IBM i GA will be in March for 6.1.1 and later.)

May 2011: Technology Refresh 2 Virtualization Enhancements

IBM i Suspend/Resume (Hibernation)– Ability to suspend a partition and resume it from the suspend point– Customer Value: Saves IPLs. Suspend before CEC maintenance, do the repair or CEC IPL and

then resume.

IBM i to IBM i Virt Tape– Allow multiple IBM i partitions to share the tape drive owned by a different IBM i partition.– Client partitions can be either 7.1 or 6.1 with 6.1.1 machine code.

I/O Performance – Multi-path– New load balancing multi-path algorithm that tries to push more I/O down the faster path. – Example: When using NPIV, running both disk and tape traffic on the same port more feasible

since the disk traffic will move off the port if the tape traffic starts slowing down the disk performance.

DS5K NPIV support– Allows better utilization of FC adapter/switch resources by using NPIV with the DS5300/DS5100.

PowerVM Redundant VIOS Support for IBM i on POWER Processor-Based Blades– Available through the use of SDMC


IBM Power Systems

inch rack drawer.– POWER6 and POWER7; IBM i 6.1.1 or 7.1

177 GB SFF SSD– 2.5 times more capacity than existing 69 GB SSD– Much improved cost per GB, and lower number of slots needed for same number of GB– Just a few SSD reduce need for a large number of HDD, and often improve performance

571 GB 10K RPM SFF Disk Drive– Lower cost per GB and more GB per 2U rack space

Clustering only supports N-1 upgrades– Can do the N-2 upgrades but will have to rebuild clusters

What release 3rd party software is supported on

IBM i 7.1 will support new hardware with Technology Refreshes – http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/i/planning/techrefresh/index.html – Perm applies needed PTFs for hardware support

Refreshes of the machine code and operating system are done for – Support of new hardware (for a new partition install, need a machine code media that

has hardware support permanently applied and the operating system image that it was tested with)

– Aged PTFs are included in the refresh (reduces time of install)– Information center topic Replacing Licensed Internal Code and IBM i of the same

version and release has instructions for installing a refresh – http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/i/planning/resave/index.html

Outline* of Major IBM i Planning or Pre-Upgrade Tasks A.) Use key planning documents: Info Center (e.g. Install Guide), Memo to Users and Planning

website, – If needed IBM ITSO Redpaper: IBM i Program Conversion: Getting Ready for i5/OS V6R1 and beyond

B.) Verify server firmware requirements and read applicable PSP (Preventive Service Planning) documents- IBM Prerequisite website

https://www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eServerPrereq.nsfC.) Read applicable Info APARs -- e.g. II14310 (Required PTFs for 6.1) II14482 (Required PTFs for 7.1)SD.) Order latest CUMe package for release you are going toE.) “Prepare for Install PTFs” are required system before using the Prepare for Install menu

option (see info APARs listed above)F.) Review Software Stack (for each LPAR)

– Third Party Vendors– License Program Products– Middleware

G.) Consider using virtual image catalog for upgrade (see info APARs listed above for PTFs are required for source releases)

– See document at ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/systems/support/power/i/nfs_optical upgrade.pdf for more information

H.) Use Collection Services to collect performance data on current release I.) Verify contents of the software media that was shipped

J.) Accept Software Agreements before upgrading (GO LIGPGM and then Option 5: Prepare for Install)

K.) Permanently apply PTFs (frees up system ASP storage for a faster install)L.) Clean-up spool filesM.) Ensure a current back-up of partition/system

•Note: This is not an all-inclusive task list –Info Center install/upgrade documentation

TIP: To make upgrade planning easier --- take advantage of the IBM Pre-Upgrade Verification Tool!

What are you waiting for…..

Recommending to all our customers to upgrade to 6.1 since Spring 2008.

Recommending to all our customers to upgrade to 7.1 since last summer.

Every upgrade has been successful and the secret is…….. preparation and planning.

If you are looking at POWER7 hardware you will need to be at 6.1.1 or 7.1.

Analyze Object Convert

Most important planning step– 2 Months before: Run ANZOBJCVN to see what issues you

might have.– Iterative process

*COLLECT in batch *REPORT

– *CVNPRB– *LIBSUM

Going from V5R4 to 7.1 (Skipping 6.1) requires you to perform this as well.

IBM i 6.1 or 7.1?

Always go to the latest release if you can.

Ask your third party vendors what release they support.

If using Websphere 6.1 or 7.0 then IBM i 7.1 is ok.

If using JAVA, gone in IBM i 7.1 is Classic Java 1.4 (option 6), 5.0 (option 7), and 6.0 (option 10).

Gone in 7.1 is Anynet – Easy conversion to Enterprise Extenders beforehand.

Websphere MQ 6 not supported on 7.1, upgrade to 7.0.1 of MQ.

Domino 7.0.3, 7.0.4, 8.5 upgrade to IBM i 6.1, Domino 8.5.1 or 8.5.2 upgrade to IBM i 7.1.

What you need to start

Order (download or physical media) 6.1 or 7.1 about 4 weeks before your planned upgrade date.

Read Preventive Service Planning PTF 6.1: SF98610 7.1: SF98710 Read Informational APAR 6.1: II14310 & 7.1: II14482 Verify software order. Download & install keys Validate FSP Firmware levels Manuals:

– IBM i Installing, Upgrading, or deleting IBM i and related software. 6.1: SC41-5120-10. 7.1: SC41-5120-11

– Memo to Users: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/topic/rzaq9/rzaq9.pdf

PTFs order about 2 weeks before the upgrade. Plan Save strategy for before and after the upgrade. Determine dedicated system time required.

9 Key Points to take home

ANZOBJCVN, ANZOBJCVN, ANZOBJCVN !!! Get the required PTFs on your system before the upgrade

(from Informational APARs). Read Memo to Users. Check FSP Firmware minimum levels. Have a Good FULL Backup right before the upgrade. Have license keys and new PTFs available. Install PTFs (Cumulative, Hiper, Groups) after verification. Conversions need to complete afterwards. SAVE 22 or Full save after the conversions.
