z10 EC – Functions and Features (October 21, 2008)


z10 EC Plan Ahead Memory   Provides the ability to plan for non-disruptive memory upgrades without exploitation of

Enhanced Book Availability –  Memory cards are pre-installed based on planned target capacity –  Supports all System z10 models –  Can be ordered with standard or “Flexible” memory on multiple book z10s

(Different benefits than “Flexible Memory” in most cases)   Pre-installed memory is activated by installing a new LICCC

–  Orderable via Resource Link by the customer (CIU upgrade) –  Orderable as an ordinary MES by IBM –  Memory upgrade orders use the pre-installed memory first

  Pre-planned memory install –  FC 1996 - Charged when physical memory is installed used to track the quantity of

physical increments of plan ahead memory capacity Cost part pre-paid

–  Increment size of 16 GB (based on minimum memory purchase increment)   Pre-planned memory activation

–  FC 1997 - Charged when Plan Ahead Memory is enabled based on the amount of Plan Ahead memory that is being activated

Remaining cost paid at time of activation –  Subsequent memory upgrade orders will use up the Plan Ahead memory first

  Plan Ahead Memory is NOT temporary CoD or CBU memory (Removing memory is disruptive)


Capacity Tokens Overview

  Pre-paid Offering – Non-expiring

  Post-paid Offering – To set spending limits on the offering record expires after 180 days

Types of Tokens:   Specialty engines: IFL/ICF/zIIP/zAAP/SAP Day tokens

– The specialty engine tokens to be billed per day equal the highest activation level for this resource during the current 24 hour billing window period

– Example: if five zAAPs were the max activation level during this window, at the end of the window five zAAP tokens will be subtracted

  CP MSU Tokens CP 1 MSU Token is used per MSU day per 24 hour period Example: 86 additional MSUs for 300 days (86x300=25,800 MSU tokens)

  CBU Tokens Length of the CBU contact one to five years Number of CBU tests remaining within the CBU record (MAX 15)


z10 – Running Production workload with CBU Test

  Customers may now execute production workload during a CBU test provided:

–  An amount of System z production workload Capacity equivalent to the CBU Upgrade is shut down or otherwise made unusable by the Customer for the duration test

–  The appropriate contracts are in place. All new CBU contract documents contain these new CBU Test terms

–  Existing CBU customers will need to execute IBM Customer Agreement Amendment for IBM System z Capacity Backup Upgrade Tests

–  Applies to any System z capable of CBU

z/VM-Mode LPAR Support for IBM System z10   New LPAR type for IBM System z10: z/VM-mode

–  Allows z/VM V5.4 users to configure all CPU types in a z10 LPAR   Offers added flexibility for hosting mainframe workloads

–  Add IFLs to an existing standard-engine z/VM LPAR to host Linux workloads –  Add CPs to an existing IFL z/VM LPAR to host z/OS, z/VSE, or traditional CMS workloads –  Add zAAPs and zIIPs to host eligible z/OS specialty-engine processing –  Test integrated Linux and z/OS solutions in the same LPAR

  No change to IBM software licensing –  Software continues to be licensed according to CPU type


* New APIs introduced in z/VM V5.4

z10 HMC Support for z/VM   New HMC support that exploits z/VM Systems Management APIs:

–  Define and change shared user definitions via: Profile Create | Delete | Replace | Query *

–  Define and change virtual hardware resources via: Virtual Network LAN Access | Create | Delete | Query * CPU Allocate | Deallocate | Query I/O Allocate | Deallocate | Query Virtual Memory Allocate | Deallocate | Query Volume Create | Delete | Query

  These tasks target a single CPC Image   Require SMAPI v5.3 or later

–  The Profiles task and Edit VMRM File task requires SMAPI v5.4 or later. Most require a Directory Manager

  Expectation is that the end user for these tasks is already knowledgeable in the areas of user directories, profiles, prototypes, volume space and resource management

  Improved performance for HMC-to-z/VM communications in z/VM V5.4

–  Integration of SCLP interface into the Systems Management APIs reduces time required to process HMC tasks


z10 CFCC Level 16   Designed to improve CF Duplexing performance

–  System z10 exclusive –  Requires two CFCC level 16 CFs –  Ready to Commit (RTC) signal is now asynchronous to the transaction

CF to CF exchange without z/OS waiting for acknowledgement Designed to enhance performance, especially in the GDPS environment

  New command for list notifications –  WebSphere MW Shared Queue environment –  CF notification improvements to avoid false schedules in IMS –  Parallelize cleaning up the lock table.

  Structure and CF Storage Sizing with CFCC level 16 –  May increase storage requirements when moving from:

CF Level 15 (or below) to CF Level 16   CF Sizer Tool recommended

–  http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/cfsizer/   OS requirements for z10 Servers with CFLEVEL 16

–  z/OS 1.8 or higher plus PTF (z/OS 1.7 with Lifecycle Extension, 5637-A01, plus PTF)

–  z/VM 5.2 or higher for guest virtual coupling   Migrating to new level of CFCC requires one to recycle the CF LPAR


MQ

IMS

Hey, I got a message for one of you!

What is it? What is

it? What is it? What is

it? What is it?

z10 CFCC Level 16   New command for list notifications (shared queues)

–  With shared queues (IMS, MQ), the CF will notify only one of the connectors instead of all. This avoids the overhead of false scheduling CF requests.

–  Prior to CFCC 16, non-empty state change is broadcast to all connectors First one to respond reads entry All others try, find nothing to read, but pay cost for effort

–  CFCC 16 Notify only one connector - First connector determined by round robin If List went to “Empty” after period of time, then Success! If not, then notify all other connectors (as done previously)


OSA-Express Queued Direct Input/Output (QDIO), data connection isolation for z/VM

  OSA-Express QDIO data connection isolation for the z/VM environment on System z10 and System z9

–  Multi-tier security zones are fast becoming the network configuration standard for new workloads. Therefore, it is essential for workloads (servers and clients) hosted in a virtualized environment (shared resources) to be protected from intrusion or exposure of data and processes from other workloads

–  With QDIO, data connection isolation, internal "routing" can be disabled on a per QDIO connection basis. Establish security zone boundaries that have been defined by network administrators and have a mechanism to isolate a QDIO data connection (on an OSA port), forcing traffic to flow to the external network, ensuring that all communication flows only between an operating system and the external network

–  QDIO data connection isolation is designed to give the ability to adhere to security and HIPPA-security guidelines and regulations for network isolation between the instances sharing physical network connectivity. This support does not affect the ability to share an OSA-Express port. Sharing occurs as it does today, but the ability to communicate between sharing QDIO data connections may be restricted through the use of this support. Ability to decide whether an operating system's or VSWITCH's OSA-Express QDIO connection is to be nonisolated (default) or isolated

  Supported by z/VM 5.3 plus PTFs and all of the OSA-Express3 and OSA-Express2 features (CHPID type OSD) on System z10 and to the OSA-Express2 features on System z9


*Note: Some complex channel programs can not be converted to zHPF protocol

z10 High Performance FICON for System z (zHPF)   FICON architecture for protocol simplification and efficiency, reducing the number of Information

Note: The InfiniBand link data rates of 6 GBps, 3 GBps, 2.5 Gbps, or 5 Gbps do not represent the performance of the link. The actual performance is dependent upon many factors including latency through the adapters, cable lengths, and the type of workload. With InfiniBand coupling links, while the link data rate may be higher than that of ICB (12x IB-SDR or 12x IB-DDR) or ISC-3 (1x IB-SDR or 1x IB-DDR), the service times of coupling operations are greater, and the actual throughput may be less than with ICB links or ISC-3 links.

z10 Coupling Link Options   PSIFB – 12x IB-DDR for high speed communication at medium distance

–  New CHPID – CIB (Coupling using InfiniBand) –  New 50 micron OM3 (2000 MHz-km) multimode fiber with MPO connectors –  Up to 150m

  PSIFB – 1x IB-SDR or 1x IB-DDR –  Unrepeated distanced up to 10 km –  Repeated distances at up to 100 km when attached to a Dense Wavelength Division

Multiplexer (DWDM) qualified by System z10 –  Speed may be auto-negotiated if the attached DWDM is capable of operating at SDR or DDR

Supports SDR at 2.5 Gbps when connected to a DWDM capable of SDR speed Supports DDR at 5 Gbps when connected to a DWDM capable of DDR speed

–  9 micron single mode fiber optic cables with LC Duplex connectors.   ICB-4 for short distances over copper cabling

–  New ICB-4 cables are required z10 to z10 and z10 to System z9/z990/z890
