If that isn’t enough, ask for more
Notes: • max of 16 EXP24s per PCIe Gen3 I/O drawer. Rule for good cable management practices.• it is a good practice to keep the PCIe Gen3 I/O drawer in the same rack as the EXP24S to
minimize SAS cable lengths. Shorter SAS cables are thinner and less expensive. Using the 8-inch rack extender for 7014-T42 rack for configs with lots of I/O cables is a good thing for cable management.
• Earlier generation I/O drawers such as #5886 or #5802 or #EXP30 not supported

Memory Performance/Configuration Insights
•Can Mix different size CDIMMs– Can not mix sizes within a pair
– Can mix different size pairs on a module
•Always plug in pairs– Minimum of four CDIMMs per processor module:
• 2-socket = minimum of eight DIMMs, 3-socket = 12 DIMMs, 4-socket = 16 DIMMs
– Minimum of 50% activation or 128GB activation – which ever is larger
•Performance rules of thumb U Performance disclaimer “it depends”, but should apply to the majority of typical commercial client situations
– More DIMMs = more bandwidth. Thus for max memory performance fill all DIMM slots. (this leaves no room for growth without parts on floor.)
• Note that for many applications which aren’t memory dependent or when the server isn’t running high utilization, having some empty slots is probably not very significant.
– Mixing different size DIMMs. For max performance make all DIMMs the same size.
• Impact of having different sizes is probably very modest for most systems

SR-IOV O. A Technology of Interest
• Single Root I/O Virtualization
• Runs “closer to the silicon” potentially offering some performance efficiencies
• Doesn’t require VIOS as a pre-req and thus can do simple
virtualization under PowerVM without VIOS U. BUT U. VIOS continues to offer many additional advanced functions
• Architecturally can virtualize a resource like an Ethenet adapter and allocate/provide a user-defined minimum level of bandwidth to a partition U Quality of Service (QoS)
–Ethernet NIC announced. FCoE and FC not announced.
• Can use VIOS & SR-IOV together

SR-IOV Direct Access Adapter Sharing
• Shared Ethernet Adapter Bridging
– Traffic flows between the physical adapter and client partition through the hypervisor and VIOS partition
– Within the VIOS the traffic flows between the virtual adapter driver and physical adapter driver through the Shared Ethernet Adapter bridge support.
– Latency and CPU utilization overhead
• Hypervisor copies packets between LPAR and VIOS
• VIOS Shared Ethernet Adapter bridge function and adapter drivers
• SR-IOV Direct Access Adapter Sharing– LPAR has direct access to the adapter
– Latency and CPU utilization on par with adapter dedicated to an LPAR
– HMC/hypervisor configures, but the adapter is the thing which knows it is virtualized
