What is new for August 2010

AIX 7–The Future of UNIX

AIX 5.2 Workload Partitions for AIX 7–A new way to consolidate older workloads on POWER7


IBM Power Systems

AIX Binary Compatibility Guarantee


IBM Power Systems

Moving up to AIX 7

AIX 7 runs on your existing hardware– Fully exploits POWER7 processor-based systems– Also exploits systems based on POWER4™, POWER5™, POWER6 processors

AIX 7 runs your existing applications– Current applications will continue to run – no need to recompile applications *– Even supports 32 bit applications created on AIX versions prior to AIX V5– Binary compatibility guarantee

Upgrade process– Prior upgrade tools will support upgrade to AIX 7– Clients can upgrade directly to AIX 7 from AIX 6 and AIX V5– Free upgrade for customers with Software Maintenance Agreements (SWMA)

–Upgrades are no charge within the same edition:

AIX 5.3 to AIX 7 Standard edition

AIX 6 Express Edition to AIX 7 Express Edition, etc,*See general conditions at ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/compatibility


IBM Power Systems

AIX Workload Partitions (WPAR)

WPARs are designed to save administrator work by reducing the number of AIX instances to patch

WPARs have much lower memory resource requirements: 68 MB vs 1GB for an LPAR

WPAR takes seconds to create and LPARs minutes

Application mobility much simpler to organize than LPM

Lots of WPARs on one AIX is simpler to monitor and control than monitoring across many LPARs.

Rapid cloning is easy and lets you use "disposable images" - simple to create, experiment and throw away

Virtualized AIX operating system environments within a single AIX image

Each WPAR shares the single AIX operating system

AIX 7 added the capability to run AIX 5.2 in a WPAR*

Applications and users inside a WPAR cannot affect resources outside the WPAR*

Each WPAR can have a regulated share of processor, memory and other resources

Two types of WPAR

- System WPARs have separate security and appear like a completely separate OS

- Application WPARs are manageability wrappers around a single application

Top reasons to use WPARsWhat is it?

* Requires purchase of the AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7 product

NetworksDisk or NFS storage NetworksDisk or NFS storage


IBM Power Systems

AIX 7 WPAR Enhancements

Export of Fibre channel adapters to WPARs –NPIV-like, but can work on any Fibre Channel adapter–Adds support for Fibre Channel tape

Kernel Extensions for WPARs–Trusted kernel extensions may be loaded by the WPAR administrator–Extensions can be only for one WPAR or for entire system

Support for VIOS disks in WPARs –VSCSI disks can be exported to a WPAR –This feature also available in AIX 6 Technology Level 6

Run AIX 5.2 inside of a Workload Partition–Consolidate older environments on POWER7 processor-based systems–Requires AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7 – available separately from AIX 7


IBM Power Systems

Introducing: AIX 5.2 Workload Partitions for AIX 7

A new licensed program product offering that allows customers to simplify migrating their old, AIX 5.2 workloads to POWER7

– Runs on top of AIX 7 and POWER7 processor-based server

Customer value– Simplify consolidation of old workloads on new hardware– Reclaim floor space and eliminate hardware support for obsolete servers– Protects customer investment in application stacks– Offering includes phone and fix support for AIX 5.2– Enables advanced capabilities such as SMT4, Live Application Mobility and Live

Partition Mobility– Provides a way for AIX 5.2 clients to move up to POWER7


IBM Power Systems

AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7

Client simply backs up existing legacy AIX 5.2 environment and restores into an AIX 7 WPAR

Client applications continue to run in AIX 5.2 environment with AIX 5.2 libraries

The SWMA for this offering will also provide how-to and limited defect support for the AIX 5.2 operating system

POWER7 exploitation: SMT4, VIOS, MicroPartitioning and Mobility

Managed via IBM Systems Director Workload Partitions Manager or command line

AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7 will be a separately charged product built on AIX 7AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7 will be a separately charged product built on AIX 7

Live Application Mobility

Live Mobility on Power Systems

Movement of the OS

and applications

to a different

server with no loss of

serviceVirtualized SAN and Network Infrastructure

PowerVM Live Partition Mobility• Move an entire Logical Partition from one system to another while it is

running with almost no impact to end users

• Moves the entire LPAR including the operating system

• Requires systems based on the POWER6 or POWER7 processors, PowerVM Enterprise Edition, and all I/O must be through the Virtual I/O Server

• Works with partitions running AIX 7, AIX 6, AIX V5.3 and Linux

Live Partition Mobility

AIX Live Application Mobility• Move a Workload Partition from one AIX system to another AIX system

while running with almost no impact to end users

• Moves only the WPAR, the AIX operating system is not moved

• Requires the PowerVM Workload Partitions Manager, and all WPAR filesystems must be on shared storage

• Works on systems based on POWER4 processors and later
