Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)

Reliability, Fault Tolerance, and Data Integrity

The reliability of the Model 270 system starts with reliable components, devices, and sub-systems. During the design and development process, sub-systems go through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During system manufacturing, systems go through a thorough testing process to ensure highest product quality level.

The Model 270 system L2 Cache and system memory offers ECC (error checking and correcting) fault-tolerant features. ECC is designed to correct environmentally induced single-bit intermittent memory failures as well as single-bit hard failures. With ECC, the likelihood of memory failures will be substantially reduced. ECC also provides double-bit memory error detection that helps protect data integrity in the event of a double-bit memory failure. System memory also provides 4-bit packet error detection that helps to protect data integrity in the event of a DRAM chip failure. The system bus, I/O bus, and PCI buses are designed with parity error detection.

Disk mirroring and disk controller duplexing capability are also provided by the AIX operating system.

The Journaled File System of the AIX operating system maintains file system consistency and reduces the likelihood of data loss when the system is abnormally halted due to a power failure.

Service Processor

A Service Processor included in the Model 270 is designed to provide an immediate means to diagnose, check status, and sense operational conditions of a remote system, even when the main processor is inoperable.

The Service Processor enables firmware and operating system surveillance, several remote power controls, environmental monitoring, reset, and boot features along with remote maintenance and diagnostic activities, including console mirroring. The Service Processor can place calls to report surveillance failures, critical environmental faults, and critical processing faults.

Fault Monitoring Functions

  • BIST (Built-in self-test) and POST (Power-on self-test) check processor, L2 cache, memory, and associated hardware required for proper booting of the operating system, every time the system is powered on. If a non-critical error is detected or if the errors occur in the resources that can be removed from the system configuration, the booting process will proceed to completion. The errors are logged in the system non- volatile RAM (NVRAM).

  • Disk drive fault tracking can alert the system administrator of an impending disk failure before it impacts customer operation.

  • AIX log facility (where hardware and software failures are recorded and analyzed by Error Log Analysis (ELA) routine) provides warning to the system administrator on the causes of system problems. This also enables IBM service representatives to bring along needed replacement hardware components when a service call is placed, thus minimizing system repair time.

Mutual Surveillance

The Service Processor can monitor the operation of the firmware during the boot process, and it can monitor the operating system for loss of control. It also allows the operating system to monitor for Service Processor activity. The Service Processor can take appropriate action, including calling for service, when it detects the firmware or the operating system has lost control. Likewise, the operating system can request a Service Processor repair action if necessary.

Environmental Monitoring Functions

  • Temperature monitoring that increases the fan speed rotation when ambient temperature is above the normal operating range.

  • Temperature monitoring to warn the system administrator of potential environmental related problems (for example, air conditioning and air circulation around the system) so that appropriate corrective actions can be taken before a critical failure threshold is reached, and to provide orderly system shutdown when operating temperature exceeds the critical level.

  • Fan speed monitoring to provide warning and an orderly system shutdown when the speed is out of operational specification.

  • DC voltages monitoring to provide warning and an orderly system shutdown when the voltages are out of operational specification.

  • AC power loss sensing to provide an orderly system shutdown.

Error Handling and Reporting

In the unlikely event of system hardware or environmentally-induced failure, the system "Run-time Error Capture" capability is designed to systematically analyze the hardware error signature to determine the cause of failure. The analysis result will be stored in system NVRAM. When the system can be successfully rebooted either manually or automatically, the error will be reported to the AIX operating system. The ELA can be used to display the failure cause and the physical location of failing hardware.

With the integrated Service Processor, the system has the ability to send out automatically an alert via phone line to a pager or call for service in the event of critical system failure.

Availability Enhancement Functions

  • On-line (Concurrent) Diagnostics with ELA and Service Aids allows administrators or IBM service representatives to diagnose potential system malfunctions without interrupting end-user operation.

  • The auto-restart (reboot) option, when enabled, can reboot the system automatically following an unrecoverable software error, software hang, hardware failure, or environmentally-induced (AC power) failure.

Serviceability

The Model 270 is designed for customer setup of the machine and for subsequent addition of most features (adapters/devices). For a fee, IBM Service can perform the installation.

The Model 270 allows support personnel to remotely log into a system to review error logs and perform remote maintenance. The Model 270 Service Processor enables the analysis of a system that will not boot.

The diagnostics consist of Stand-alone Diagnostics (system dedicated to service) and Online Diagnostics.

Online Diagnostics, when installed, are resident with AIX on the disk or system. They can be booted in single-user mode (service mode), run in maintenance mode, or run concurrently (concurrent mode) with other applications. They have access to the AIX Error Log and the AIX Configuration Data.

Service mode allows checking of system devices and features.

Concurrent mode allows the normal system functions to continue while selected resources are being checked.

Maintenance mode allows checking of most system resources.

The System Management Services (SMS) error log is accessible from the SMS menu for tests performed through SMS programs. The Service Processor error log is accessible from the Service Processor menu for results of Service Processor tests.

Service Director for RS/6000

The Service Director for RS/6000 is available at no additional charge, if the RS/6000 processor is covered by an IBM Warranty or IBM Maintenance Service Agreement. When installed on the RS/6000, the Service Director for RS/6000 can enhance IBM's ability to provide the system with maintenance service.

The Service Director for RS/6000:

  • Monitors and analyzes system errors, and if needed, can place automatically a service call to IBM without customer intervention.

  • Can reduce the effect of business disruptions due to unplanned system outages and failures.

  • Performs problem analysis on a subset of hardware-related problems and, with customer authorization, can report automatically the results to IBM Service.

Online Customer Support (OCS)

OCS for hardware problem reporting may be performed via remote login by RS/6000 specialists using normal AIX facilities. The Service Director/6000 for RS/6000 software can also be used for this capability.

AIX Support offerings will be under AIXSERV and Service Director/6000 for RS/6000.

CPU GARD

CPU GARD, or processor run-time deconfiguration, is a RAS enhancement function implemented in the system firmware, service processor firmware, and AIX operating system (Version 4.3.3 + APAR IY06844, or later) for dynamically removing CPUs from the system configuration during run-time. The objective is to minimize system failures or data integrity exposures due to a faulty processor. The processor to be removed is the one that has experienced repeated run-time recoverable internal errors (over a pre-defined threshold).

When a processor's internal recoverable error reaches a pre-defined threshold, the firmware is designed to notify the AIX operating system. The AIX operating system migrates all software processes and interrupts to another processor and puts the faulty processor in "stop state."

CPUs that are deconfigured at run-time remain off-line for subsequent reboots via the CPU Boot Time Deconfiguration function until the faulty CPU hardware is replaced. The user can also enable and disable this RAS function via the AIX system management services.

Feature Descriptions

The following is a list of all feature codes in numeric order for the IBM RS/6000 7044 machine type.

Attributes, as defined in the following feature descriptions, state the interaction of requirements among features.

Minimums and maximums are the absolute limits for a single feature without regard to interaction with other features. The maximum valid quantity for MES orders may be different than for initial orders. The maximums listed below refer to the largest quantity of these two possibilities.

The order type defines if a feature is orderable only on initial orders, only on MES orders, on both initial and MES orders, or if a feature is supported on a model due to a model conversion. Supported features cannot be ordered on the converted model, only left on or removed from the converted model.

(#2494) PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter

(No Longer Available as of December 1, 2000)

The RS/6000 PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter(#2494) is a non- bootable high performance Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter providing RAID 0,1,or 5 capability and can address up to forty-five 16-bit SCSI-2 physical disk drives on three independent SCSI buses.

To increase the data writing performance, a 32 MByte fast-write cache is provided as a resident part of this adapter. The 32 MByte fast-write cache is a resident feature of the IBM PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter that utilizes non-volatile RAM. During the unlikely event of an PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter failure, a replacement PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter can be installed and the fast-write cache can be removed from the failing adapter and installed in the new adapter insuring data integrity. The 32 MByte fast-write cache can provide an significant improvement in data throughput and response time during certain sequence write operations compared to SCSI RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The response time and data transfer improvement will vary depending upon the data block sizes, the percentage of sequential writes, machine type/model, and application parameters.

The PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter has one internal and two external independent Ultra2 SCSI buses. The internal port can be used to provide an internal RAID solution on supporting RS/6000 systems. Systems with internal 6-pack disks can attach one PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID adapter per internal 6-pack.The two external ports provide connectivity to an IBM 2104-DL1 Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TL1 Expandable Storage Plus Tower at up to 80 MB/s SCSI bus data rate. The two external ports can also connect to the IBM 7131-105 external Fast/Wide SCSI disk enclosure via an optional VHDCI to P Converter Cable (#2118). Note: Even though the PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter has ports that run at Ultra2 SCSI speeds (up to 80 MBytes/s), the internally attached disk drives will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified by that supporting system backplane. Also, the externally attached 7131-105 will only run at a maximum of Fast/Wide SCSI speeds (up to 20 MBytes/s).

In order for full support and to take full advantage of the Ultra2 (up to 80 MBytes/s) speed of this adapter, the proper AIX level also needs to be considered. AIX 4.2.1 with appropriate APAR updates and 4.3.3 or later supports the full range of SCSI bus data rates (including Ultra2 SCSI up to 80 MByte/s). AIX 4.3.2 only supports data rates up to 40 MByte/s. Check the AIX level your system has or is able to support. Appropriate AIX APAR needed are as follows:

  • AIX 4.2.1 with APAR IX86638, IX86654, IX87183, IY01945, & IY02373
  • AIX 4.3.2 with APAR IX86395, & IX86396
  • AIX 4.3.3 or later

Upgrading an existing PCI 3-Channel Ultra SCSI RAID Adapter (#2494) to the later version PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter is also available after September 24, 1999. To upgrade to the Ultra2 version (up to 80 MBytes/s capability), a new level of microcode needs to be downloaded. To obtain this later level of microcode (3.12.00 or higher), go to the below web address and follow the microcode download procedure. AIX levels with appropriate APAR updates described above also apply in conjunction with the microcode upgrade.

  • Attributes provided: Attachment of internal and external SCSI devices
  • Attributes required: One PCI bus slot
  • For 7044-270: (#2494)
    • Minimum required: 0

(#2498) PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter

(No Longer Available as of December 10, 2004)

The RS/6000 PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter(#2498) is a non- bootable high performance Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter providing RAID 0,1,1E, 5, 5E capability and can address up to sixty 16-bit SCSI physical disk drives on four independent SCSI buses.

To increase the data writing performance, a 128 MByte fast-write cache is provided as a resident part of this adapter. The 128 MByte fast-write cache is a resident feature of the PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter that utilizes non-volatile RAM. During the unlikely event of an PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI

RAID Adapter failure, a replacement PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter can be installed and the fast-write cache can be removed from the failing adapter and installed in the new adapter insuring data integrity. The 128 MByte fast-write cache can provide an significant improvement in data throughput and response time during certain sequence write operations compared to SCSI

RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The response time and data transfer improvement will vary depending upon the data block sizes, the percentage of sequential writes, machine type/model, and application parameters.

The PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter has four independent Ultra3 SCSI buses. There are two internal ports and four external ports. The two internal ports are shared with two of the external ports. Two of the four busses can drive either an internal port or an external port. The other two busses only drive external ports. The internal ports can be used to provide an internal RAID solution on supporting RS/6000 systems. Systems with one or two internal 6-pack disks can attach to a PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter. The four external ports provide connectivity to an IBM 2104-DU3 Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TU3 Expandable Storage Plus Tower at up to 160 MB/s SCSI bus data rate. The four external ports also provide connectivity to an IBM 2104-DL1 Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TL1 Expandable Storage Plus Tower at up to 80 MB/s SCSI bus data rate.

Limitations:

  • The four external ports do not support the connection to the IBM 7131-105 external Fast/Wide SCSI disk enclosure.
  • Even though the PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter has ports that run at Ultra3 SCSI speeds (up to 160 MBytes/s) and Ultra2 SCSI speeds (up to 80MBytes/s), the internally attached disk drives will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified by that supporting system backplane.

In order for full support and to take full advantage of the Ultra3 (up to 160 MBytes/s) speed of this adapter, the proper AIX level also needs to be considered. AIX 4.3.3 with appropriate APAR updates or later AIX versions support the full range of SCSI bus data rates (including Ultra3 SCSI up to 160 MByte/s). Check the AIX level your system has or is able to support.

(#4951) IBM Four Port 10/100 Ethernet Adapter

(No Longer Available as of December 3, 2001)

IBM 4-Port 10/100 Base-Tx Ethernet PCI Adapter for RS/6000 is a single slot, long, 64-bit 33 MHz PCI adapter supporting 4 industry standard Ethernet 10Base-T or 100 Base-T interfaces either half or full duplex. Each port is provided with it's own RJ-45 connector for attachment to standard CAT-3/5 Unshielded Twisted Pair, UTP cable. The adapter is IEEE 802.3u compatible and provides full auto-negotiation for detecting speed and duplex capability across each port.

Network boot capability and Network Install Manager (NIM) capability are available using this adapter if no specific limitation is stated.

The IBM 4-Port 10/100 Base-Tx Ethernet PCI Adapter (#4951) should be considered where maximum port density is required per I/O card slot. But, for high end systems, where card slots are not the limiting factor and maximum throughput is required, the single port IBM 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II (#4962) or 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter (#2968) are the preferred solutions.

Below are some performance factors to consider when choosing the right adapter for your needs. These performance comparisons are based on all four ports of the IBM 4-Port 10/100 Base-Tx Ethernet PCI Adapter (#4951) being active.

  • With all four ports under full bandwidth conditions, a single IBM 4-Port 10/100 Base-Tx Ethernet PCI Adapter (#4951) is expected to deliver up to 3 times the comparable performance of a single IBM 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II (#4962) or 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter (#2968).
  • Under most conditions, each port of the IBM 4-Port 10/100 Base-Tx Ethernet PCI Adapter (#4951) is expected to perform at greater than 50% the throughput of the single port of the IBM 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II (#4962) or 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter (#2968).

Note: The resulting performance in your environment compared to the above may vary and depends upon the RS/6000 model, the I/O configuration, and associated workload of your applications.

  • Attributes provided: 4 port of 10/100 Base-Tx Ethernet
  • Attributes required: 1 PCI slot
  • For 7044-270: (#4951)

(#4958) PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor

(No Longer Available as of December 3, 2001)

The IBM PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor is a 2/3 length PCI adapter combining hardware and software to provide high performance secure hardware engines for secure internet transactions such as secure data exchange, verifying electronic signatures, bulk data encryption and decryption. Cyrptographic processes are performed within a tamper proof enclosure on the adapter that is designed to meet FIPS PUB 140-1 standard for commercial cryptographic devices at Level 3.

Security functions supported by the adapter includes:

  • Data Encryption Standard (DES) (56 and 40 bit keys) encryption and decryption, with pre-and post-padding; the coprocessor uses both electronic and codebook (ECB) and cipher block chain (CBC) modes of encryption.
  • Message Authentication (MAC) and financial PIN processing
  • Triple DES encryption and decryption of general data
  • Secure RSA key-pair generation
  • RSA signature generation and signature verification
  • Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA-1) in hardware
  • Hardware random number generation
  • Secure data storage and retrieval
  • Other non-cryptographic security utilities can be carried out using the onboard processor

IBM offers software to enable your use of the Coprocessors. Two different approaches to cryptographic functions are offered for download from the http://www.ibm.com/security/cryptocards website:

  • PKCS #11 Version 2.01, an implementation of the industry-standard API
  • IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA), featuring support of special interest to the finance industry.

Under custom contract, IBM also offers toolkits that you can employ to develop extensions to the CCA offering and to develop your own application to exploit the secure computing environment and cryptographic hardware. For more information on custom contracts, refer to Web site

(#6203) - PCI Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter

(No Longer Available as of December 10, 2004)

The PCI Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter (#6203) is a 64 bit adapter and is an excellent solution for high performance SCSI applications. The PCI Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter provides 2 SCSI channels (busses). Each SCSI bus can either be internal (on systems that support internal SCSI device or backplane attachments) or external and will support a data rate of up to 160 MBytes per second, up to twice the maximum data transfer rate of the previous Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI adapter (80 MBytes per second).

In order to achieve an Ultra3 SCSI bus data rate of up to 160 MBytes per second and also maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. To fully utilize this Ultra3 160 MBytes per second performance, all attaching devices or subsystems should also be Ultra3 LVD devices. But, if Ultra2 and Ultra3 devices coexist on the same bus, each device will operate at its rated speed. For lower speed single-ended (SE) devices, the SCSI bus will switch to single-ended (SE) performance and interface at the lower SE bus data rate of the device.

Two industry-standard VHDCI 68 pin connectors are mounted on the adapter's end bracket, allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external subsystems. A .3 meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to 68 pin, (#2118) can be used with older external SE subsystems to allow connection to the VHDCI connector on the PCI Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter.

Note: If any Single Ended (SE) SCSI subsystem is attached to an external port of this adapter, the SCSI port will auto-throttle to a "Fast" interface speed running no faster than 20MB/s max. This auto-throttle function is performed to ensure best signal quality between host adapter and attaching subsystem. The second external port is unaffected unless a SE subsystem is also attached to it. If so, it would also auto-throttle as described above.

The PCI Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter (#6203) also is a native boot adapter with AIX 4.3.3 or AIX 5.1 (with appropriate updates) in the supported pSeries or RS/6000 systems.

  • Attributes provided: Attachment of internal SCSI devices (on systems that support an internal SCSI device or backplane attachment with this adapter) and external SCSI devices

(#6205) PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter

(No Longer Available as of December 3, 2001)

The PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter (#6205) is a 64 bit adapter and is an excellent solution for high performance SCSI applications. The PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter provides 2 SCSI channels (busses). Each SCSI bus can either be internal or external and will support a data rate of up to 80 MBytes per second, up to twice the maximum data transfer rate of previous Ultra SCSI adapters (40 MBytes per second).

In order to achieve an Ultra2 SCSI bus data rate of up to 80 MBytes per second and also maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. In order to utilize this Ultra2 80 MBytes per second performance, all attaching devices or subsystems must also be Ultra2 LVD devices. If any device is not Ultra2 LVD, the adapter will switch its SCSI bus to single-ended (SE) performance and interface at the lower SE SCSI bus data rate of the device.

Two industry standard VHDCI 68 pin connectors are mounted on the adapter's end bracket allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external subsystems. A .3 meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to 68 pin, (#2118) can be used with older external SE subsystems to allow connection to the VHDCI connector on the PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter.

Note: If any Single Ended (SE) SCSI subsystem is attached to an external port of this adapter, the SCSI ports (both the external port being attached to and its associated or shared internal port) will auto- throttle to a "Fast" interface speed running no faster than 20MB/s max. This auto-throttle function is performed to ensure best signal quality between host adapter and attaching subsystem. The second external port and its associated or shared internal port is unaffected unless a SE subystem is also attached to it. If so, it would also auto-throttle as described above.

Any supported RS/6000 system can be set up to boot from PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter (#6205). If you are running with AIX 4.3.3 or later software, this adapter has native boot support as part of that level of AIX software. If you are running with 4.2.1 software, the below procedure applies in order to boot using the PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter:

  • The designated boot SCSI disk can be located under the covers of a processor unit or in an external SCSI storage unit.
  • AIX version 4.2.1 must be loaded to the designated SCSI boot disk using AIX's Network Install Manager (NIM) before booting from the SCSI boot disk.
  • The system with a designated SCSI boot disk must have a network connection with another RS/6000 system performing the NIM Master function to perform the install. On RS/6000 SP systems, a similar network install is performed from a control workstation.
  • Once AIX with updates is installed on the designated SCSI boot disk and the system is configured for booting, booting will take place from the boot disk drive without any support from the control processor or NIM Master and the system does not have to be connected to the network at boot time.

(#6230) Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter

(No Longer Available as of June 24, 2005)

The Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter (#6230) is a 4 port (2 loop) Serial Storage Architecture (SSA) adapter providing an instantaneous data transfer rate of up to 160 MByte/s per loop. It also provides eight- initiator, non-RAID capability, two-initiator RAID 0 + 1, two-initiator RAID 5, or one-initiator RAID 0 capability. The adapter accepts a 32 MByte Fast-Write Cache Option Card (#6235) that improves write performance in RAID 0+1, RAID 5, and non-RAID applications. When the 32 MByte Fast-Write Cache Option Card is used, the adapter can be configured in either single or dual initiator fast-write cache mode. In dual initiator fast-write cache mode, if one of the two adapters fail, the failing adapter transfers control over to the other. Also, in dual initiator Fast Write Cache mode, the 128 MByte DRAM Option Card (#6231) is available and required to utilize the full 32 MBytes of fast-write cache on the adapters. If the 128 MByte DRAM Option Card is not used in dual initiator fast-write cache mode, the effective fast-write cache capacity will be 16 MBytes on each adapter. See the 128 MByte DRAM Option Card (#6231) for information.

The Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter when operated in a RAID 5 configuration will support (2+P) to (15+P) arrays and up to 6 (15+P) arrays. The adapter also supports Hot Spares in RAID 5 mode. The Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter also supports connectivity to external disk enclosures and internal RS/6000 SSA configurations. Optional SSA Fiber-Optic Extender is also supported (Refer to IBM 7133 Sales literature for additional information)

Any supported RS/6000 system can be set up to boot from an Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter (#6230), provided a non-RAID SSA disk is included as part of the configuration. Other disks associated with the adapter can be RAID but at least one disk must be a non-RAID SSA disk. The non-RAID SSA disk can be located under the covers of a processor unit or in an external SSA storage unit. If your system is running with AIX 4.3.3 or later software, native boot capability is supported. For factory system orders with AIX preload requested, an internal SCSI disk drive will be preloaded as the native boot disk even if internal SSA disk drive(s) are present. If your system is running with AIX 4.2.1 or AIX 4.3.2 software, the below procedure applies in order to boot using the Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter:

  • The non-RAID SSA disk can be located under the covers of a processor unit or in an external SSA storage unit.
  • A supported AIX version of software (with proper updates) must be loaded to the non-RAID SSA disk using AIX's Network Install Manager (NIM) before booting from the non-RAID disk.
  • The system with a non-RAID SSA disk must have a network connection with another RS/6000 system performing the NIM Master function to perform the install. On RS/6000 SP systems, a similar network install is performed from a control workstation.
  • Once AIX with updates is installed on the non-RAID SSA disk and the system is configured for booting, booting will take place from the boot disk without any support from the control processor or NIM Master and the system does not have to be connected to the network at boot time.

A 3-Way Copy Function is available. This 3-Way Copy Function allows a user to create a third copy to an existing RAID-1 or RAID 0+1 array while mirrored operation continues 3-Way Copy allows the user, at any time after the copy process has completed, to split the third copy off from the original RAID-1 or RAID 0+1 array to form an independent RAID copy. This third copy or "snapshot" copy could be typically used to perform a backup or to test some new application. The 3-Way Copy Function is available only via a code download and can only be gained by going to the SSA web support pages defined below.

When performing SSA device or subsystem planning, installation, upgrades, or preventive maintenance, refer to the following Web support pages. They provide access to the latest SSA publications and support code for the system, SSA adapters, and SSA subsystems. These sites should also be considered during system hardware and/or operating system upgrades if SSA devices are included in the system.

(#6231) 128 MByte DRAM Option Card

(No Longer Available as of June 24, 2005)

The 128 MByte DRAM Option Card (#6231) is a field only optional feature to the Advanced SerialRAID Adapter (#6225) or a factory or field option for the Advanced SerialRAID Plus Adapter (#6230). This option is recommended for dual initiator fail-over Fast Write Cache (FWC) configurations. The option increases the existing DRAM on the adapter to 128 MBytes. In this type of dual initiator FWC configuration, the existing DRAM does not have enough capacity to completely contain a copy of each adapter's 32 MByte FWC and also provide additional working space. The 128 MByte DRAM Option Card provides this additional space needed to contain a full copy of each adapters 32 MByte FWC content and allows for full 32 MByte fail-over protection. If the 128 MByte DRAM Option Card (#6231) is not used with dual-initiator FWC configurations, the effective FWC capacity is reduced to 16 MBytes per adapter.

If this feature is ordered as a field upgrade to an existing SerialRAID adapter (#6225 or 6230), a CD-ROM with appropriate software and publications are also provided.

  • Attributes provided: 128 MByte DRAM memory

The 32 MByte Fast-Write Cache Option Card (#6235) is a 32 MByte fast- write optional feature that plugs into the IBM RS/6000 Advanced SerialRAID Adapter (#6225) or the Advanced SerialRAID Adapter Plus (#6230). It utilizes non-volatile RAM. During the unlikely event of an Advanced SerialRAID Adapter failure, a replacement Advanced SerialRAID Adapter can be installed and the fast-write cache can be removed from the failing adapter and installed in the new adapter insuring data integrity. The 32 MByte Fast-Write Cache Option Card can provide a significant improvement of data throughput and response time during certain sequence write operations compared to SSA RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The response time and data transfer improvement using the optional card will vary depending upon the data block sizes, the percentage of sequential writes, machine type/model, and application parameters. The 32 MByte Fast-Write Cache Option Card plugged into the Advanced SerialRAID Adapter (# 6225) will operate in either non-RAID or RAID 5 mode, in single-initiator configurations.

(#6311) IBM ARTIC960RxF PCI Adapter for RS/6000

(No Longer Available as of June 28, 2002)

The IBM ARTIC960RxF Digital Trunk Resource PCI Adapter (DTRA) is a single slot, long, 32-bit PCI adapter. This adapter is designed to be used in conjunction with the IBM ARTIC960RxD Quad Digital Trunk PCI Adapter (DTQA)(#6310) and provides additional DSP resources so that voice recognition channels can be supported. These two adapters are designed to be used with the IBM Voice Response for AIX Version 2.2. application but the user may program them to be used for his unique application.

Voice Response for AIX Version 2.2 is an interactive voice response system (IVR) for the AIX operation system with selected IBM RS/6000 systems. Callers can access a wide range of enterprise applications and data using the telephone key pad in response to scripted prompts from the Voice Response IVR. It also provides the base for voice recognition systems enabling a caller to interact using voice instead of buttons on the telephone key pad.
