Description

IBM eServer iSeries

The IBM eServer allows businesses and other organizations to accelerate into the next generation of e-business. As an integral part of the IBM eServer brand, the iSeries delivers e-business value via intelligent integration, innovation, and application flexibility. The IBM eServer iSeries includes the recently announced Models 820, 830 840, Model 270, Models SB2, SB3, and the Dedicated Servers for Domino.

Intelligent Integration

The iSeries combines leading edge technology with a flexible, innovative operating environment, developed for the AS/400 and extended to the iSeries line of e-business servers. The "i" in iSeries stands for intelligent integration, and features open systems functions which are built-in to the operating system and pretested for reliable, turnkey function. These integrated functions include the web servers (IBM HTTP server and the Apache server), the Web Application server (WebSphere Standard Edition), the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), database (IBM DB2 Universal DataBase for AS/400), Communications (TCP/IP), OS/400 PASE, e-business security and Linux in the future. The iSeries intelligent integration allows businesses to deploy solutions faster, more reliably, and with a low cost of ownership while implementing a wide range of e-business applications based on industry standards, with superior performance.

Innovation

The iSeries is based on IBM's leading edge microprocessor technology, which includes two industry breakthroughs: copper and Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI). IBM has replaced the aluminum connections between transistors with copper, resulting in denser packages, lower power consumption and higher performance. SOI is a revolutionary method to prevent electrical leakage from the chips, and together with copper, accounts for between 20 and 35% in processor performance improvements. The iSeries also boasts the new IBM memory switching technology, with switch speeds of 36GB per second. High Speed Links (HSL) allow data transfer at rates of up to 1GB per second. With copper, SOI, memory switching, and HSL the iSeries is in the forefront of technological innovation in the industry today. The iSeries has demonstrated it's scalability with these innovative technologies by delivering 152,346 transactions per minute (tpmC) on the TPC-C benchmark. iSeries also demonstrated superb collaborative performance, supporting 75,000 concurrent NotesBench Domino R5 Mail Users with an average response time of 276 milliseconds, and exceptional Java scalability by exceeding 80,000 operations per second with the industry-standard SPECjbb2000 benchmark. The iSeries intelligent integration of this technology allows businesses to benefit from enterprise class computing without an "enterprise size" IT support staff.

Application Flexibility

The iSeries offers a wide range of application choices to businesses of all sizes and in any industry, allowing an unprecedented level of flexibility and independence. The iSeries architecture features a flexible operating environment that runs any combination of AS/400, ported UNIX applications, Linux (in the future), Windows, Domino, or Java applications concurrently. Combined with the iSeries inherent workload management capabilities, Logical Partitioning (LPAR) and the integration of IBM eServer xSeries, the iSeries enables businesses to run several diverse application environments on one physical machine. Businesses can now choose whether to grow their server farm, maintain their server farm, or consolidate server footprints on the iSeries for simplified management, increased availability, and lower total cost of ownership. The iSeries embraces standards-based computing with a full range of application choices while offering independence from proprietary solutions.

The iSeries also offers businesses the freedom to grow without disruption through the new Capacity Upgrade on Demand features of the Model 840. These features enable a customer to activate immediate incremental processing power non-disruptively, when it is needed, and pay for it only when initiated.

The iSeries is perfect for growing companies looking to do business-critical B2B, ERP, supply chain management and CRM applications. The new iSeries is an ideal e-business server for those companies who prefer fast deployment of integrated e-business solutions rather than "do it yourself" or "contracted services" systems integration. The iSeries 400 delivers the intelligent integration, innovation, and flexibility that businesses need to accelerate successfully into the new e-business economy.

iSeries Models SB2 and SB3

The Models SB2 and SB3 are tuned to deliver processing power focused on dedicated CPU-intensive serving for the middle-tier of a multitier environment. DASD space is limited (in relation to database servers or other multipurpose servers offered by IBM) to minimize the overuse of CPU cycles for tasks unrelated to "pure" application serving. When a single iSeries middle-tier server is not enough, employ multiple SB2 and SB3 models to push an iSeries back end database server to its full potential.

Internal Battery Backup/Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

The Models SB2 and SB3 include an internal battery that is automatically activated in the event of utility power loss. The battery provides full operating power for a short time to all components within the system unit, but not to any external components. This can allow the system to run uninterrupted if utility power is lost for a short time (less than 30 seconds). For longer power outages, the system will use the battery to attempt an orderly shutdown to avoid losing data in main storage that has not been written to disk. You benefit from faster recovery when the system is restarted after utility power returns. An external UPS is recommended to protect the system unit and any external components against longer utility power outages. A UPS can allow the system to run uninterrupted for longer than 30 seconds when power is lost, and can maintain power long enough to ensure that the system successfully completes a shutdown to avoid losing data.

Processor CPW                              (1)         (1)
 

Note: (1) Processor CPW values are not valid representations of performance characteristics for iSeries middle-tier servers due to the limited amount of disk attachability. Disk space is not a high priority for middle-tier servers performing CPU-intensive work because they are always connected to another computer acting as the "database" server in a multi-tier implementation.

Performance information related to the capabilities of iSeries middle-tier servers can be found in the AS/400 Performance Capabilities Reference at the following URL:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/online/chgfrm.htm

Software vendor specific sizing information should be evaluated when considering the use of an iSeries middle-tier server. Competency centers and/or vendor Web sites can provide general guidance related to the appropriate use of middle-tier (aka. application) servers for various customer scenarios.

For example, performance measurements for an iSeries middle-tier server when used to support the "application server" level of an SAP R/3 implementation can be obtained through the IBM/SAP International Center-of-Competence in Walldorf, Germany, at the following Web page:

http://www.ibm.com/erp/sap

Additional performance data related to SAP defined benchmarks that demonstrate iSeries server scalability in a multi-tier environment can also be obtained through IBM/SAP competence centers and/or SAP's Web page at the following:

Optional SB2 and SB3 Server Features

Features can be added and removed from AS/400 models by ordering new features, removing existing features, or doing feature conversions, if available.

Feature conversions are used when it is necessary to physically change an installed feature. New parts will be shipped, and the removed or replaced parts become the property of IBM.

The addition of a new feature and removal of an installed feature does not involve any credit. Unless otherwise specified, a removed feature remains the property of the customer. Feature removals not associated with a model upgrade or feature conversion may be subject to a charge.

Processor features for the iSeries SB2 and SB3 servers are IBM installable. iSeries server to iSeries server interchange of processor features is AS/400 system password protected. iSeries server to iSeries server interchange of processor features outside IBM standard practices and procedures may void SB2 and SB3 server warranty and/or service contracts.

System Configuration

All system units have locations for features including processors, main storage, power, expansion, disks, tapes, CD-ROM, and IOPs. Some restrictions may apply to certain combinations of features. The configurator contains the rules and performance considerations for placement of these features, and should be used to ensure a valid configuration. The use of performance tools may also help in optimizing a configuration to match a specific set of requirements.

Customer Setup (CSU) Features

Some features are designated CSU. On MES orders where all features are CSU, the customer installs all features. IBM installation is available for a charge, under normal service contracts. On MES orders that contain a mix of IBM and CSU features, the customer may choose to have the IBM service representative install all features (including those designated as CSU).

No-Charge Specify Code Descriptions

Disk Protection

When a mix of data protection schemes is required, a disk protection specify code should not be used.

(#0040) Mirrored System Disk Level Protection

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

(#0041) Device Parity Protection-All

Causes the order to fail if a non-RAID configuration is ordered. This is the default specify code for data protection. #0041 requires that all internal disk units be placed into RAID arrays using #9748. The rules for RAID can be found in the description for #9748. The minimum number CMS of RAID disk units allowed on a system is four. All external disk units must be RAID capable.

System Console

A system console specify code must be selected on each new order. One console adapter is required on each new order to drive the system console. The system console may be changed on installed systems via MES.

(#5540) System Console on Twinaxial WSC

When #5540 is on the order, the system console is driven by a twinaxial adapter. #4746 PCI Twinaxial IOA (Console) is added to the order:

(#5544) System Console on OP Console

When #5544 is on the order, the system console is driven by a WAN adapter. The following adapter and cable are added to the order:

(#5546) System Console 100Mbps Token-Ring

With #5546, the system console is driven by a token-ring LAN adapter. #2744, PCI 100Mbps Token-Ring IOA, is required on the server. This LAN adapter must be dedicated to console support/functions and cannot be used for any other purpose.

Prerequisite: One #0367 Operations Console cable. With LPAR, one #0367 per server is sufficient, regardless of the number of "LAN consoles" defined per system. OS/400 V5R1, or later, is required.

(#5548) System Console 100Mbps Ethernet

With #5548, the system console is driven by an Ethernet LAN adapter. #4838, PCI 100/10Mbps Ethernet IOA, is required on the system. This LAN adapter must be dedicated to console support functions and cannot be used for any other purpose.

Prerequisite: One #0367 Operations Console cable. With LPAR, one #0367 per server is sufficient, regardless of the number of "LAN consoles" defined per system.

Device Attachment

(#0162) Extended Single Ended Attach

This specify code is added to an order for each of the following devices directly attaching (not second on a daisy chained string) to an iSeries system via a #2718 or #2768.

Note: If any of the above devices will be daisy chained off another device, then the #0162 specify is not be added to the order.

(#0163) Fibre Channel Attach

This specify is added to an order for each device attaching to an iSeries system via a #2765, PCI Fibre Channel Tape Controller

Alternate IPL

One of the following specify codes is required on the system to identify the Alternate IPL (AIPL) device.

Line Cords

The configurator will select default line cords for the country in which the order is placed. Optional line cords may be selected.

Language Nomenclature

All systems require a #29XX specify code.

Machine history at the IBM plant is used to ship the proper language when the 29XX code is not on an MES order.

These features have country-specific usage.

Software Preload

(#5000) SW Preload Required

Indicates that preloaded software and/or consolidated I/O is to be shipped with the initial order. A maximum of one (#5000) is supported.

(#5027) Software Version V4R5

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July 2, 2002)

#5027 is required on all new orders for Models SB2 and SB3.

(#5028) Software Version V5R1

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of November 21, 2003)

#5028 is required on all new orders for Models SB2 and SB3.

(#5029) Software Version V5R2

#5029 is required on all new orders for Models SB2 and SB3.

Miscellaneous

(#0002) Customer Install MES

Required to install this MES. This code drives translated customer installation instructions, MES package labeling, and indicates that an IBM CE should not automatically be dispatched to install the MES. The order configurators will place this specify on orders when required.

(#0003) Notify CSO After Install

Indicates that IBM service involvement is required to install an MES. This feature drives service installation instructions, MES package labeling, and indicates that IBM service should be dispatched to install the MES.

(#0005) Bulk MES Indicator

Used by manufacturing applications to determine the correct number of additional hardware items to include on a bulk MES order.

(#0205) RISC-to-RISC Data Migration

Used on initial orders for SB2 and SB3 servers, this specify code designates that the new server will replace (not upgrade) an installed AS/400 (RISC) model.

When #0205 is on the order, manufacturing will only load SLIC and up through QSYS of OS/400. This will facilitate migrating some of the OS/400 information from the installed system. In addition to the new server, enough DASD must be ordered to hold all the data from the current model, as well as the required software on the new server. Specify Code #5000 (SW Preload Required) is mutually exclusive with #0205.

The AS/400 RISC server will replace (not upgrade) an installed AS/400 RISC model. The migration process requires that the installed model be at the same version and release level of OS/400 and other Licensed Programs (LPs) as the new server. Financial considerations of upgrades to the installed software should be reviewed as part of the migration planning.

More information, and an updated AS/400 System Upgrade and Data Migration Road Map (RISC-RISC) is available at:

(#9748) Base PCI Disk Unit Controller

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 28, 2001)

Included in the base of Models SB2 and SB3, #9748 is an Ultra2 SCSI controller with a 26MB write-cache that provides RAID-5 protection and compression for internal disk units and also supports internal tape units and CD-ROM units.

#9748 supports both compression and non-compression modes. The mode of operation is determined by a hardware jumper. #9748 is shipped in non-compression mode. By moving the hardware jumper, the controller will function in compression mode.

In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #9748 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.

#9748 also supports #4331, 1.6GB Read Cache Device, which provides increased performance. #4331 is supported only when #9748 is not in compression mode.

The #9748 controller supports a maximum of four disk units on the SB2 and eight disk units on the SB3. A minimum of four disk units of the same capacity are needed for a valid RAID 5 configuration. A maximum of four arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of 10 disk units allowed per array. All disk units in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across four disk units for arrays of four to seven disk units. Parity can be spread across either four or eight disk units for arrays of eight to ten disk units. For systems started with eight to ten disk units in an array, the parity for that array will be spread across 8 disk units. For systems that are started with fewer than eight disk units in an array and later field upgraded to eight, nine, or ten disk units, the RAID function must be stopped and then started before the parity will be spread across eight disk units.

The #9748 controls up to two removable media devices (internal tape or CD-ROM).

Prerequisite: Available PCI slot in the base PCI Node IOP.

Each memory card slot can contain either a 32MB memory card, a 128MB memory card, or a 256MB memory card producing a total memory capacity ranging from 32MB to 1000MB. At least one memory card is required. The feature numbers for the memory cards are as follows:

Each LAN IOA slot can contain a PCI Token-Ring IOA, a PCI Ethernet IOA, or the PCI 100/10Mbps Ethernet IOA. The Integrated PC Server is capable of supporting all three IOAs in any combination, with a maximum of two #2838. At least one LAN IOA feature is required. The features for the LAN IOAs are as follows:

If #2724 is selected, then #0220 (Token-Ring on IPCS) is required for each #2724 selected to run on a #6618.

If #2723 is selected, then #0221 (Ethernet on IPCS) is required for each #2723 selected to run on a #6618.

If #2838 is selected, then #0222 (100/10Mbps Ethernet on IPCS) is required for each #2838 selected to run on a #6618.

All three PCI slots can be used for Integrated PC Server functions. Two of the three PCI slots can support native AS/400 functions.
