9406-SB1 IBM AS/400e custom application server Model SB1


Abstract

AS/400e custom application server.

Model Abstract 9406-SB1:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 29, 2000)

The IBM 9406 Model SB1 performs dedicated, compute-intensive processing at a competitive price in a multitier environment. Model SB1 processing power, a large amount of base main storage, and fixed amounts of disk storage satisfy these application requirements. The custom application e-server can be ordered only as a component of an overall packaged solution. Vendor software purchased from an ISV channel is preloaded (partial or total) as part of the preparation before shipment. The current release of the OS/400 licensed program is included in the price of AS/400e servers.

Description

AS/400e custom application servers

Base Model SB1 Description

The base configuration of the Model SB1 delivers the large amounts of memory required for compute-intensive performance as a second-tier server in multitier implementations. Memory is the key element. This server has a large amount of main storage. It limits the amount of disk storage to ensure CPU cycles are not directed away from the compute-intensive processing objectives established for the Model SB1.

The Model SB1 has either 4GB or 8GB of main storage in the base, depending upon processor feature, and a minimal amount of disk storage capacity, restricted by a maximum attachment of four disk units. The base disk storage is 16.7GB, but can be optionally increased for mirroring purposes to 34.3GB, using four 8.58GB disk units. The base main storage cannot be increased on the Model SB1. If more processing power is required to drive a database server in a multitier configuration, more Model SB1 servers can be added at the second tier.

The base configuration of the Model SB1 includes the following components:

Operating Environment

Note: (1) All tape media used on the 9402, 9404, and 9406 have a relative humidity range of 20% to 80%.

Voltage:

Model SB1 system units operate at high voltage (200-240 VAC). Expansion tower #5072 operates at either low voltage (100-127 VAC) or high voltage. Expansion towers #9251 and #5073 operate at high voltage.

The appropriate system power cord is added automatically by the configurator based on the three-digit country code on the order. Refer to the AS/400 Physical Planning Reference (SA41-5109) for your default power cord, other power cord options, and additional technical planning information. For upgrades, consult SA41-5109 to make sure no changes to your power distribution system are required.

Limitations

Model SB1 Restrictions

The Model SB1 is limited to two IOP features in addition to the MFIOP. (OptiConnect clustering cards (#2669, #2685 and #2683) do not count as feature IOPs.)

The Model SB1 is limited to four internal disk unit features.

There are no main storage features for the Model SB1.

Hardware Requirements

The minimum operable and serviceable system configuration consists of a system unit and a system console.

The system requires AS/400 Licensed Internal Code. The Licensed Internal Code is preloaded on the system disk storage unit.

The system console may be any supported display or IBM-compatible PC emulating a supported display. The system console should be located within six meters (20 feet) of the operator's panel, and the operator's panel must be viewable from the display.

Although a printer is not required for service, IBM's ability to diagnose the system and perform upgrades is greatly enhanced when a printer is available.

Although not required for hardware service, IBM's ability to service the system is greatly enhanced when a voice telephone is available within view of the system. The telephone must not be connected to phone mail or an answering machine, since the ability to receive calls on this telephone is important in the event support personnel need to reach the IBM representative. This telephone line is in addition to the one needed for ECS.

A high-speed modem, the IBM 7852 or equivalent, is required for ECS.

Software Requirements

AS/400e custom application servers require the support of OS/400 Version 4 Release 1, or later.

The following publications are shipped with the product. Additional copies can be ordered at availability.


Features -- Specify/Special/Exchange

No Charge Specify Codes

Disk Protection

(#0040) Mirrored System Disk Level Protection:   When added to an initial order, this specify code will cause the order to fail if sufficient disk units are not ordered to support device level mirrored protection. On upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient disk units are not available to support device level protection across the system.

#0040 requires all disk units to be placed into mirrored pairs. The load source must be controlled by the MFIOP and must be mirrored to a like disk unit also attached to the MFIOP. The minimum number of disks allowed on a system is two.

(#0044) Device Parity Protection:   When added to an initial order, this specify code will cause the order to fail if a non-RAID configuration is ordered. This is the default specify code for data protection.

#0044 requires that all internal disk units be placed into RAID arrays using #6502, #6512, #6532 or #9751. The rules for RAID can be found in the description for #6502, #6512, #6532 and #9751.

Ideally, all disk units should be put into a RAID array but in order to maintain compatibility with upgrade systems that did not have the ability to put the load source file into a RAID array the marketing configurators will allow up to four non-RAID disks to be configured with #0044. The four non-RAID disks must be mirrored. The definition of a non-RAID disk is (1) an old disk that can't be put into a RAID array because it technically doesn't work or (2) a new disk that can't be put into a RAID array because there aren't enough disks for a valid RAID array.

Alternate IPL

Licensed Internal Code (LIC) for AS/400 RISC models will be distributed on CD-ROM media.

The configurator will verify that a tape or migrated tape specify has been selected. If not, the order will fail with a message explaining that without a tape device the save/restore capability of the system is jeopardized.

In order to ensure that availability of ALT-IPL capability, the configurator will validate that the system has an ALT-IPL specify code.

One of the following specify codes is required on a AS/400 systems to identify the alternate IPL device, otherwise base validation will fail. The alternate IPL specify code indicates that the IOP used to control the tape device must be placed into the system unit.

Disk, Tape, and Diskette Unit Controllers

Disk unit and tape unit IOPs are considered high-workload IOPs and thus require special consideration when configuring a system. In addition to their workload capability IOPs can be streaming or non- streaming.

Disk Unit IOPs

The AS/400 accommodates both internal and external disk devices. All internal devices are controlled by the MFIOP, the RAID 5 Disk Unit Controller (#6502), the Disk Unit Controller for RAID (#6512), the Storage Device Controller (#6530) or the RAID Disk Unit Controller (#6532). The external devices are controlled by the Direct Access Storage Device Controller (#6500) or the Tape/Disk Device Controller (#6501).

Tape Unit IOPs

The AS/400 accommodates both internal and external tape devices. All internal devices are controlled by the MFIOP, the Storage Device Controller (#2624) or the Internal Tape Device Controller (#6513). The external devices are controlled by the Removable Media Device Attachment (#2621), the 34XX Magnetic Tape Subsystem Attachment (#2644), the Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6112), the Tape/Disk Device Controller (#6501) or the Magnetic Media Controller (#6534).

The following limits are to be placed on combinations of tape unit IOPs. It may be possible for a system to contain more IOPs than these limits suggest if an IOP is being used to control disk, CD-ROM or diskette.

Diskette Unit IOPs

The AS/400 accommodates the 9331 diskette including both 5 1/4" and 8" sizes. Diskettes are controlled by the Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6112) or the Diskette Adapter (#6146).

(#2621) Removable Media Device Attachment:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of June 30, 2000)

#2621 is an IOP that provides two ports of differential SCSI for tape and optical attachment to the AS/400. #2621 includes hardware data compression for tape devices. The following devices can be attached.

Each #2621 supports the following combinations of tape/optical devices (some restrictions may apply.)

The best performance can be obtained when the 9427 is attached to both ports of the #2621. This configuration does not allow the attachment of the 2440-A12, 7208-XXX or 9348-XXX.

The #2621 requires one card slot.

The configurator will specify #6534 for tape devices that can be controlled by #6534. Tape devices that require two ports of attachment to the AS/400 require #2621.

The configurator will specify the minimum number of IOPs for the number of tape devices ordered. You may order additional IOPs to attach one tape device per IOP. Maximum: Two.

(#2624) Storage Device Controller:   #2624 is an IOP with the ability to control up to three internal SCSI tape devices and one diskette device (diskette requires #6146).

#2624 is when a diskette device is ordered. #2624 is not be specified for controlling tape; however, an installed #2624 or a #2624 specified to support the addition of diskette can also be used to control supported tape devices. When tape devices are selected, the configurator will specify #6513 unless a #2624 already exists or has been specified for diskette.

See Internal Tape Unit Summary for a list of tape units supported.

The configurator will specify the minimum number of IOPs for the tape devices ordered. Maximum: Two.

(#2644) 34XX Magnetic Tape Subsystem Attachment:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of March 31, 1999)

#2644 is an IOP that provides a S/370 Channel interface for attachment of the following devices:

The #9980 (Serpentine Cable) is required for attaching all #2644 supported devices except the 3490E-CXX. The 3490E-CXX is attached using #9980 when "external cables" were ordered on the 3490E-CXX. When "internal cables" were ordered on the 3490E-CXX the #9980 is not required. The #2644 requires one card slot.

The configurator will specify the minimum number of IOPs for the tape devices ordered. Maximum: Two.

(#6146) Diskette Adapter:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

#6146 is an IOA that provides for the attachment of one SCSI diskette device. #6146 requires #2624 as a prerequisite. The following diskette devices are supported:

#6146 can be added to any #2624 for the purpose of controlling an external diskette. The addition of #6146 to #2624 does not reduce the #2624s ability to control internal tape devices; however, the #2624 must be placed in the correct slot in order to control the tape devices. Maximum: Two.

(#6513) Internal Tape Device Controller:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July 31, 2001)

#6513 is an IOP that can control up to four internal SCSI tape devices. #6513 requires OS/400 V3R7 (or later).

#2624 will be specified on V4R1 systems when a customer requires diskette or #1378. An installed #2624 or a #2624 specified to support the addition of #1378 or diskette will also be used to control the other supported tape devices (see description of #2624 for supported tapes). #6513 requires one card slot.

The configurator will specify the minimum number of IOPs for the tape devices on the order. Maximum: One.

(#6534) Magnetic Media Controller:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of May 31, 2001)

#6534 is an Ultra SCSI Tape IOP that provides attachment capability for the following external tape devices. #6534 will be the default tape controller for systems with V4R1. #6534 can attach one tape drive. Tape devices that require two ports of attachment to the AS/400 require #2621.

Card slots required: One. Maximum: Two.

(#9751) MFIOP with RAID:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of May 31, 1999)

The #9751 MFIOP contains an Ultra SCSI controller with a 4MB write- cache that provides RAID-5 protection for up to 20 internal disk units. This is the first controller for the AS/400 that allows all disk units in the system unit towers to be placed into a RAID-5 array. #9751 also controls the internal CD-ROM drive, one internal tape unit and LAN, communications and twinaxial controllers.

The #9751 is designed to control Ultra, Fast Wide and Fast Narrow SCSI disk units. In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #9751 is also designed to work as a high performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection. In the RAID-5 configuration, disk unit protection is provided at less cost than mirroring, and with greater performance than system checksums.

#9751 requires the OS/400 V4R1, and is included in the base system unit.

(#9754) Base MFIOP with RAID:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 28, 2001)

The #9754 MFIOP contains an Ultra SCSI controller with a 4MB write- cache that provides RAID-5 protection for up to 20 internal disk units. This is the follow-on controller to the #9751, and, like the #9751, allows all disk units in the system unit towers to be placed into a RAID-5 array. #9754 also controls the internal CD-ROM drive, one internal tape unit, and LAN, communications, and twinaxial controllers.

The #9754 controls Ultra, Fast Wide and Fast Narrow SCSI disk units. For the best performance use disks, disk controllers and storage expansion devices capable of Ultra SCSI performance. In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #9754 also works as a high- performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection. In the RAID-5 configuration, disk unit protection costs less than mirroring and performs better than system checksums.

#9754 supports hardware disk compression, enabled by the integration of data compression hardware directly into the data-flow of the controller. Data is compressed and decompressed without intervention from the AS/400 system processor. Disk Compression for the 17.54GB disk units requires the support of OS/400 V4R4.

Capacity gains may vary as a function of the compression algorithm and the characteristics of the data. Typically two times compression can be expected, with up to four times possible. The disk capacity gains from disk compression are not included in the maximum AS/400 model disk capacity limits.

Disk compression can be used with or without BRMS Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) as part of a total storage management strategy including high-performance disk, compressed disk, and tape automation.

Compressed disks have the same disk subsystem availability options (i.e., RAID-5, mirroring) as uncompressed disks, with no additional restrictions. Disk compression is supported only in user auxiliary storage pools (user ASPs). The user selects which disk arms to compress via a new Disk Manager screen, and disk capacity screens reflect the projected disk capacity and the percent used.

Due to the overhead of compression/decompression, and the variations in the length of data written to disk, the performance of compressed disk will in most cases be slower than uncompressed, high-performance disk drives. Access additional information at:

www.as400.ibm.com/hsmcomp

#9754 supports up to 20 internal disk units, but the SB1 allows only four disks to be attached. A minimum of four drives of the same capacity are needed for a valid configuration using the RAID-5 disk unit controller, and all drives in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across all four drives.

#9754 is included on new orders for the Model SB1 with OS/400 V4R2, or later. Card slots used: Two. Maximum: One.
