Overview
Bottom rule

The Power 570 now offers new POWER6 processors with two new two-core processor features at 4.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz and a new four-core processor feature, built with two dual-core modules on one processor card at 4.2 GHz. With the new-four core processor feature, the Power 570 now is available in a 32-processor core configuration.

The Power 570 now features Hot-node Repair. With Hot-node Repair, a CEC enclosure with a failed component can have the CEC enclosure with the failed component guarded out and then removed without an IPL of the system. When the enclosure is repaired, it can be reintegrated to the system using the concurrent node add feature previously announced. This new function can be used to upgrade memory on a system without powering the system down.

Hot-node Add / Cold-node Repair / Hot-node Repair

Power 570 systems support adding an additional CEC enclosure (node) to a system, without powering down the system (Hot-node Add). The additional Power 570 enclosure would be ordered as a system upgrade (MES order) and added to the original system while operations continued. The additional resources of the newly added enclosure can then be assigned to existing applications or new applications as required. This capability is available to existing 9117-MMA systems after upgrading to firmware level EM320_051, or later. To take advantage of this new feature, the system must have spare, unused connectors on the attached Service Interface Cable and space available in the rack immediately below the current system. If a new Service Interface Cable is required, the system will need to be powered down to install the new cable.

Power 570 systems that have experienced a failure and are at a firmware level EM320_051, or a later level of EM320 and auto recovered by rebooting after guarding out the failed CEC enclosures can have the deactivated enclosure removed so it can be repaired without powering down the system a second time. Once repaired, the enclosure can be integrated back into the active system without powering down the system (Cold-node Repair). The resources of the repaired CEC enclosure, can then be reassigned to existing applications or new applications as required. This capability is available to all 9117-MMA systems after upgrading to firmware level EM320_051, or a later level of EM320.

Power 570 systems that have experienced a failure and are at firmware level EM340, or later, can guard out the failed CEC enclosure without rebooting the system. Once the CEC enclosure is guarded, the enclosure can be serviced, after disconnecting the power source, processor fabric, and service interface cables as required to replace failed parts. Once repaired, the enclosure can be integrated back into the active system without powering down or IPLing the system. The resources of the repaired CEC enclosure can then be reassigned to existing applications or new applications as required. This function can also be used to add or change the memory features in a CEC enclosure that has not experienced a failure. With the upgrade to firmware level EM340 on an MMA system, the Hot-node Repair capability replaces the Cold-node Repair capability described above and can be added to any 9117-MMA systems.

The Power 570 CEC enclosure that contains the active system clock may not be repaired or modified with the Hot-node Repair process. The CEC enclosure with the active system clock may use the Cold-node Repair procedure if the system is at the appropriate firmware level.

  • Maximum altitude:
    • 3,048 m (10,000 ft)

For system configurations with processor feature 7540 installing above 2400 meters, additional ambient room temperature limits are in effect. Refer to the Site and Hardware Planning Guide for details.

Hardware requirements

The 9117-MMA should be installed in a new or existing 7014-T00, -B42, or -T42 rack. This provides:

  • Proper dimensions
  • Mounting surfaces
  • Power distribution
  • Ventilation
  • Stability
  • Other functional requirements

The 7014-T00, -T42, and -B42 racks offer both Standard and Acoustic front door features as options to accommodate a client's choice for their environment.

The design of the Power 570 is optimized for use in an IBM 7014-T00, -B42, or -T42 rack. Both the front cover and the external processor fabric cables occupy space on the front left side of an IBM 7014 rack that may not be available in non-IBM racks.

Limitations

Processors

The external processor fabric bus in this system is modular. Cable features are available for connecting pairs of drawers, three drawer stacks, and four drawer stacks. With this modular approach, a separate cable is required to connect each drawer to each other drawer in a multi-enclosure stack.

Feature number 3660 is used to connect adjacent drawers in the stack, drawer 1 to drawer 2; a second feature is required to connect drawer 2 to drawer 3, and yet another feature to connect drawer 3 to drawer 4.

Feature number 3664 is used to connect three-drawer combinations: drawer 1 to drawer 3; a second feature is required to connect drawer 2 to drawer 4.

Feature number 3665 is used to connect four-drawer combinations: drawer 1 to drawer 4. To create the external processor fabric bus required for a full four-CEC enclosure system, three of feature number 3660, two of feature number 3664, and one of feature number 3665 are required.

Each system must have a minimum of two active processors.

A system can have from one to four CEC enclosures. Each enclosure has two sockets; each socket will accept a processor card feature. A system with one enclosure may have one or two processor cards installed. A system with two, three, or four enclosures must have two processor cards in each enclosure.

When two or more processor cards are installed in a system, all cards must have the same feature number. The one exception to this is that 9117-570 systems that were upgraded to the 9117-MMA system using processor card feature number 5621 may increase these systems to a maximum of 16 cores using processor feature card number 5622. When feature number 5622 is added to the system, all additional processors added must be feature number 5622. Features 5621 and 5622 may not be mixed in the same CEC enclosure.

Processor card feature numbers 5620, 5621, 5622, 7380, 7387, and 7388 must be used with Processor Enclosure and Backplane (#5663) and Processor Power Regulator (#5625).

Processor card feature number 7540 must be used with 0/4 Core Processor Enclosure and Backplane (#5675) and Processor Power Regulator #5617.

Processor card feature numbers 5620, 5622, 7380, 7387, 7388, and 7540 have 12 memory DIMM slots and must be populated with POWER6 DDR2 Memory DIMMs.

Processor card feature number 5621 has eight DIMM slots. These slots will not accept POWER6 memory DIMMs.

Processor card feature number 5621 is only available to systems that were upgraded from POWER5 or POWER5+™ processor systems. Once upgraded, they become POWER6 systems.

All processor cards require two working Processor Power Regulators per CEC enclosure. Enclosures with two Processor Power Regulators do not provide redundancy for any processor configuration. A third Processor Power Regulator is required to provide redundant power support to either one or two processor cards in an enclosure.

All CEC enclosures must ship with three Processor Power Regulators (#5625 or 5617) except for system configurations that contain one or two of processor feature number 5620 in a single CEC enclosure system.

A system configuration with one or two of processor feature number 5620 in a single enclosure may ship with two Processor Power Regulators (#5625). In these configurations, the Processor Power Regulators do not provide redundant power support to the processors.

Processor Capacity on Demand activations will activate processor hardware only in the system serial number they are purchased for. If you move processor hardware to another system, the processor may not be functional in that system until arrangements are made to move the processor activations or purchase additional processor activations. Contact your IBM representative or IBM Business Partner for more information.

The upgrade processor feature 5621 will only be available for ordering when the initial MES upgrade order is placed. The minimum supported upgrade is to a four-core system when upgrading to the POWER6 processor feature 5621. If the POWER5+ system being upgraded has only two processor cores, an additional processor feature must be purchased to fill both processor sockets in the primary enclosure. A Power 570 with POWER6 processor feature 5621 can be expanded by purchasing additional enclosures with POWER6 processor feature 5622. Processor features 5621 and 5622 cannot be mixed within the same CEC enclosure but can be mixed in the same system. The 5622 processor card accepts only POWER6 memory and has 12 DIMM slots.

Memory

Each processor card feature must have a minimum of four DIMMs installed. This includes inactive processor card features present in the system.

Most memory features includes a total of four DIMMs. A minimum of four DIMMs from any memory feature must be placed on the same processor card. There is a required plug location for every memory feature attached to a processor card.

  • The first four memory DIMMs must be plugged in DIMM sockets J0A, J0B, J0C, and J0D.
  • The second four memory DIMMs must be plugged in DIMM sockets J1A, J1B, J1C, and J1D.
  • The third four memory DIMMs (for processor cards able to accept 12 DIMMs) must be plugged in DIMM sockets J2A, J2B, J2C, and J2D.

When configuring the memory in a Power 570, placing two memory features (8 DIMMs) on a single processor card will provide the maximum available memory bandwidth. Adding the third memory feature will provide additional memory capacity but will not increase memory bandwidth. System performance that is dependent on memory bandwidth can be improved by purchasing two smaller features per processor card as opposed to one large feature per processor card. To achieve this, when placing an order, ensure the order has 2X memory features for every processor card feature on the order.

All POWER6 memory features must be purchased with sufficient permanent memory activation features so that each memory feature is at least 50% active, except memory feature 8129, which must be purchased with Activation feature 5681 for 100% activation.

Memory features 5692, 5693, 5694, and 5695 can be mixed on the same POWER6 processor card.

Memory features 5690, 5696, and 8129 may be mixed on a single processor card but may not be mixed with any other memory feature on a single processor card. A processor card with memory feature 5690, 5696 or 8129 can be mixed in the same CEC enclosure with a processor card containing other POWER6 memory features.

Memory features 5690, 5696, and 8129 cannot be used on processor card feature 5620.

For processor feature number 5621, different memory size or frequency features may not be mixed on the same processor card. All of the memory features on a single processor card must be the same size in gigabytes when fully active and have the same frequency. Feature number 7894 and 4495 can be mixed on the same processor card because 4495 is 8 GB when fully active. Feature number 4497 and 4496 can be mixed on the same processor card because 4496 is 16 GB when fully active. The two processor cards in a single CEC enclosure may have different memory features installed. Processor cards in different enclosures in the same system may have different memory features installed.

For all processors and all system configurations, if memory features in a single system have different frequencies, all memory in the system will function according to the lowest frequency present.

Each system must contain a minimum of 2 GB of active system memory.

All processor cards, except processor feature 5621, have 12 memory DIMM slots and must be populated with POWER6 DDR2 Memory DIMMs.

Processor card feature number 5621 has eight DIMM slots. These slots will not accept POWER6 DDR2 Memory DIMMs.

Memory Capacity on Demand activations will activate memory hardware only in the system serial number they are purchased for. If you move memory hardware to another system, the memory may not be functional in that system until arrangements are made to move the memory activations or purchase additional memory activations. Contact you IBM representative or IBM Business Partner for more information.

It is recommended that memory be installed evenly across all processor cards in the system. Balancing memory across the installed processor cards allows memory access in a consistent manner and typically results in the best possible performance for your configuration.

Plans for future memory upgrades should be taken into account when deciding which memory feature size to use at the time of initial system order.

Power

Each Power 570 with two or more CEC enclosures (eight or more processor cores) must have one Power Control Cable (#6006 or similar) to connect the Service Interface Card in the first enclosure to the Service Interface Card in the second enclosure.

There are two ac power supplies in each CEC enclosure; the second is required to provide redundant power for enhanced system availability. A CEC enclosure will continue to function with one working power supply. A failed power supply can be hot swapped but must remain in the system until the replacement power supply is available for exchange.

There are three Processor Power Regulators in each CEC enclosure; the third is required to provide redundant power to the processors for enhanced system availability. The processors will continue to function if there are at least two working Power Regulators in the enclosure. A failed (third) Power Regulator can be hot swapped but must remain in the system until the replacement power regulator is available for exchange.

Two Processor Power Regulators in a single enclosure do not provide redundancy for any processor configuration. A third Processor Power Regulator is required to provide redundant power support to either one or two processor cards in the enclosure.

All CEC enclosures must ship with three Processor Power Regulators (#5625 or #5617) except for the system configurations with one or two feature number 5620 processors in a single CEC enclosure.

A system configuration with one or two of feature number 5620 processors in a single enclosure may ship with two Processor Power Regulators (#5625). In these configurations, the Processor Power Regulators do not provide redundant power support to the processors.

Power Distribution Units

For systems installed in IBM 7014 racks, the following Power Distribution Unit (PDU) rules apply (not all PDUs are available in all models of the 7014):

For PDU features 9176, 9177, 7176, and 7177: Each pair of PDUs can power up to three Power 570 CEC enclosures (three drawers per two PDUs). (These features are no longer available for purchase.)

For PDU features 9178 and 7178: Each pair of PDUs can power up to six Power 570 CEC enclosures (six drawers per two PDUs). (These features are no longer available for purchase.)

For PDU features 9188, 7188, 5889, and 7109 when using power cord 6654, 6655, 6656, 6657, or 6658: Each pair of PDUs can power up to three Power 570 CEC enclosures (three drawers per two PDUs).

For PDU features 9188, 7188, 7109, and 5889 when using power cord feature numbers 6489, 6491, 6492, or 6653: Each pair of PDUs can power up to seven Power 570 CEC enclosures (seven drawers per two PDUs).

Each server drawer has two power supplies, which must be connected to separate PDUs to provide full redundancy.

Server power cords should be evenly spread across the available PDU power outlets to distribute the current across multiple circuit breakers.

Racks

The Power 570 consists of one to four CEC enclosures. Each enclosure occupies 4U of vertical rack space. The Power 570 is designed to be installed in a 7014-T00, -B42, or -T42 rack. An existing -T00, -B42, or -T42 rack can be used for the Power 570 if sufficient space and power are available.

The 36 EIA unit (1.8 meter) rack (#0551) and the 42 EIA unit (2.0 meter) rack (#0553) are available for order on MES upgrade orders only. For initial system orders, the racks should be ordered as machine type 7014, models -T00, -B42, or -T42.

For Power 570 configurations with two, three, or four drawers, all drawers must be installed together in the same rack, in a contiguous space of 8U, 12U, or 16U within the rack. The uppermost enclosure in the system is the base enclosure. This enclosure will contain the active Service Processor and the Operator Panel, if an Operator Panel is present in the system. If a second CEC enclosure is part of the system, the backup service processor is contained in the second CEC enclosure. The service processor is a component of the Service Interface Card in these enclosures.

When a Power 570 system is installed in an 7014-T00, -B42, or -T42 rack or in a 0551 or 0553 rack that has no front door, a Thin Profile Front Trim Kit must be ordered for the rack. The required trim kit for the 7014-T00 or 0551 rack is feature number 6246. The required trim kit for the 7014-T42, -B42, or 0553 rack is feature number 6247.

The design of the Power 570 is optimized for use in a 7014-T00, -B42, or -T42 rack. Both the front cover and the processor flex cables occupy space on the front left side of an IBM 7014 rack that may not be available in typical non-IBM racks.

Acoustic door features are available with the 7014-T00, -B42, and -T42 racks to meet the lower acoustic levels identified in the specification section of this document. The Acoustic Door feature can be ordered on new -T00, -B42, and -T42 racks or ordered for the -T00, -B42 and -T42 racks that clients already own.

I/O drawers

To further reduce possible single points of failure, POWER6 implements enhanced disk storage configuration rules. IBM configuration tools and IBM technical support personnel do not support integrated cached disk controller configurations unless they have a protected write cache. Disk controllers with write cache must protect the cache by either pairing the disk controllers (write cache replication or IOA-level mirroring) or by using an auxiliary write cache IOA. This is true for all partitions in the Power 570 using any operating systems.

The remote I/O Interfaces known on the 9406 machine type as HSL and HSL-2, are the same interfaces that are known as RIO and RIO-2 respectively on the new Power 570. There is no difference in the HSL and RIO interfaces and no difference in the HSL-2 and RIO-2 interfaces.

The following is a list of the Remote I/O drawers that are supported or available on the 9117 machine type and the correct interface to use for each of the drawers.

                                      Order
Feature       Description             status      Interface

5886          Exp 12S SAS Drwr        Available   SAS
7031-D24/T24                          Supported   SCSI Ultra320
7311-D11                              Supported   RIO-2
7311-D20                              Available   RIO-2
7314-G30                              Supported   12X

The 7311-D20 and feature 0595 I/O drawers with RIO Ports: I/O Planer Riser Card (#6413) must be upgraded to RIO-2 Ports, I/O Planer Riser Card (#6417) before they can be attached to a Power 570 server.

Some I/O adapters supported in the 7311-D11 and the 7311-D20 I/O drawers when attached to an IBM POWER5 or POWER5+ processor-based Power Systems server will not be supported when these same I/O drawers are attached to a Power 570 server with POWER6 processors. For a complete list of supported adapters, refer to the online sales manual for the 7311 I/O drawer.

The maximum number of attached remote I/O drawers depends on the number of CEC enclosures in the system and the I/O attachment type, as follows:

For the 7311-D11 RIO-2 attached I/O drawers:

  • Systems with one CEC enclosure:

    With two processors, the enclosure supports up to four I/O drawers.

    With four processors, the enclosure supports up to eight I/O drawers.

  • Systems with two CEC enclosures support up to 12 I/O drawers.
  • Systems with three CEC enclosures support up to 16 I/O drawers.
  • Systems with four CEC enclosures support up to 20 I/O drawers.

For the 7311-D20 and all feature number RIO-2 attached I/O drawers:

  • Systems with one CEC enclosure:

    With two processors, the enclosure supports up to six I/O drawers.

    With four processors the enclosure supports up to 12 I/O drawers.

  • Systems with two CEC enclosures support up to 24 I/O drawers.
  • Systems with three CEC enclosures support up to 36 I/O drawers.
  • Systems with four CEC enclosures support up to 48 I/O drawers.

For 12X Host Channel attached I/O Drawers:

  • Systems with one CEC enclosure:

    With two processors, the enclosure supports up to four I/O drawers.

    With four processors, the enclosure supports up to eight I/O drawers.

  • Systems with two CEC enclosures support up to 16 I/O drawers.
  • Systems with three CEC enclosures support up to 24 I/O drawers.
  • Systems with four CEC enclosures support up to 32 I/O drawers.

    It is recommended that any attached remote I/O drawers be located in the same rack as the Power 570 server for ease of service, but they can be installed in separate racks if the application or other rack content requires it.

I/O drawers are connected to the adapters in the CEC enclosure with the following cables:

  • Data transfer cables:

    RIO-2 attach cables for RIO-2 I/O Drawers and 12X cables for 12X Channel I/O Drawers.

  • Power Control cables:

    RIO-2 I/O Drawers and 12X Channel I/O Drawers may not be mixed in the same remote I/O loop.

Remote I/O drawer cable connections are always made in loops to help protect against a single point-of-failure resulting from an open, missing, or disconnected cable. A Power 570 system with nonlooped configurations could experience degraded performance and serviceability. If a nonlooped connection is detected, a problem is reported.

The first I/O drawer attached in any remote I/O drawer loop requires two data transfer cables. Each additional drawer in the loop (up to the maximum allowed) requires one additional data transfer cable.

The first I/O drawer attached to a host system requires two Power Control Cables. Each additional I/O drawer added to a host system requires one additional Power Control Cable. Each host system has one power control loop. All I/O drawers attached to a system are included in the same Power Control loop. Power Control Cable loops are different in this regard from data transfer cable loops.

Dual-Port 12X Channel Interface adapter options:

  • Dual-Port 12X Channel Attach Adapter (#6446): Use the short run adapter for expansion I/O drawers located in close proximity to the host system or to other drawers in the I/O expansion loop. This adapter does not include signal repeaters.
  • Dual-Port 12X Channel Attach Adapter (#6457): Use the long run adapter for expansion I/O drawers located farther from the host system or other I/O drawers in the I/O expansion loop. This adapter includes signal repeaters to accommodate the longer cable lengths.

12X Cable choice:

Each 5796 drawer requires one Dual-Port 12X Channel Adapter, either Short Run (#6446) or Long Run (#6457). The choice of adapters is dependent on the distance to the next 12X Channel connection in the loop, either to another I/O drawer or the host system. The following table identifies the supported cable lengths for each 12X Channel adapter. I/O drawers containing the Short Run adapter can be mixed in a single loop with I/O drawers containing the Long Run adapter. In this table, a "Yes" indicates that the 12X cable identified in that column can be used to connect the drawer configuration identified to the left. A "No" means it cannot be used.

1
The 12X cable (#1829) has very limited use due to its short length. It cannot be used to connect to a system drawer because of the short length. It is intended for use between two 5796 drawers mounted side by side in the same enclosure (#7314). It can also be used to connect between two modules located one beneath the other in a 7014 rack.
2
It is possible in some limited configurations to use the 3.0 M, 12X cable (#1840) to locate 5796 modules in adjacent racks. The cable length requires careful management of the each drawer location within the rack. The best choice for connecting a 5796 I/O Drawer in an adjacent rack is the 8.0 M, 12X cable (#1834).
3
The 12X cable (#1834) is intended for use when connecting between two modules that are located in adjacent racks. This cable may not be connected to the 12X Short Run adapter (#6446).

Integrated I/O

Although each CEC enclosure is equipped with integrated system port (serial) external connectors, these ports do not function with the attachment of the required HMC.

Each CEC enclosure must contain one Virtual Ethernet (HEA) Integrated I/O port card (#5636, #5637, or #5639). This selection is available only when a CEC enclosure is first ordered from the factory.

Each system has two HMC ports on the Service Interface Card in each CEC enclosure. The HMC, however, must be attached to the Service Interface Card in the base CEC enclosure or the base and second CEC enclosure if a second CEC enclosure is part of the Power 570 system.

Disks, media, and boot devices

A device capable of reading a CD-ROM must be attached to the system and available to perform operating system installation, maintenance, problem determination, and service actions such as maintaining system firmware and I/O microcode at their latest levels. Alternatively, the system must be attached to a network with an AIX NIM server configured to perform these functions.

System boot is supported via DASD in a remote DASD drawer attached to a PCI adapter or an I/O drawer attached to GX adapter, or from a network via LAN adapters.

The minimum system configuration requires at least one SAS disk drive in one of the CEC enclosures or an adapter capable of attaching a remote DASD drawer or a LAN adapter.

Each CEC enclosure can support one media device when the optional Media Enclosure and Backplane feature (#5629) is ordered.

The model MMA supports only the new SAS DASD hard disks internally. The older SCSI DASD hard files can be attached to the model MMA but must be located in a remote I/O drawer. Either the 7031-D24 or the 7311-D20 are compatible with the DASD carriers used on the model 570 DASD files. The DASD files from the model 570 can be moved directly into these I/O drawers.

I/O slots and adapters

Each Power 570 CEC enclosure has two PCI-X slots, four PCIe slots, and two GX+ slots. One of the PCIe slots shares physical space with one of the GX+ slots such that a maximum of seven adapters can be used in a single CEC enclosure. The two PCI-X 2.0 DDR slots are full length, 64-bit, 266 MHz slots. There are three full-length PCIe 8X slots and one short form factor PCIe 8X slot. The 2 GX+ slots support short form factor GX adapters.

The slots are identified on the back side of the CEC enclosure as follows:

Slot ID             Adapter type          Slot size
 
P1-C1               PCIe   8X             FULL LENGTH
P1-C2               PCIe   8X             FULL LENGTH
P1-C3               PCIe   8X             FULL LENGTH
P1-C4               PCI-X  2.0 DDR        FULL LENGTH
P1-C5               PCI-X  2.0 DDR        FULL LENGTH
P1-C6/P1-C8         PCIe 8X / GX+         SHORT FORM FACTOR
P1-C9               GX+                   SHORT FORM FACTOR

Adapter slots P1-C6 and P1-C8 share the same physical space in a CEC enclosure. When a GX+ adapter is installed in GX slot P1-C8, PCIe slot P1-C6 cannot be used.

A system configuration with only two processor cores (2/2 W) does not support the use of GX slot P1-C9. In this configuration, only the P1-C8 GX slot will function (this slot is physically shared with PCIe slot P1-C6). Adding a second processor feature card to the enclosure will allow the P1-C9 slot to function. The processors on the second processor feature card do not have to be active. This single GX slot availability applies only to a 2/2W, single CEC enclosure system configuration.

The Power 570 I/O slot population rules are complex. Extensive configuration rules and checking procedures are incorporated into the Marketing Configurator ECFGPWR to help ensure a valid system configuration. Configurations generated without using the ECFGPWR configurator may create orders that cannot be built, resulting in possible order rejection or delayed delivery.

Feature maximum limits in the feature descriptions of this document for adapters and devices may not provide optimal system performance. These limits are given to assist with connectivity and functional assurance. The maximum values shown here apply to the features installed in the system CEC enclosures and the system remote I/O drawer features.

Hot-plug options

The following options are hot-plug capable:

  • GX Adapters
  • System ac power supplies: One functional power supply must remain installed in each CEC enclosure at all times while the system is operating.
  • Disk drives
  • Most PCI adapters
  • Processor power regulators: Two functional processor power regulators must remain installed in each CEC enclosure at all times while the system is operating.
  • Hot-plug procedures are contained in the Customer Information Center on ibm.com.
  • If the system boot device or system console is attached using an I/O adapter feature, that adapter may not be hot-plugged.

The following adapters are not hot-plug capable:

  • POWER GXT135P Graphics Accelerator with Digital Support (#2849)
  • 2-Port Multiprotocol PCI Adapter (#2962)

Logical partitioning

Dynamic LPAR allows one partition per processor.

  • Up to 10 partitions per processor are supported when PowerVM feature 7942 - Standard or 7995 - Enterprise is ordered. PowerVM function is not supported on AIX 5.2.

For Linux partitions, a DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM and a Media Enclosure and Backplane (#5629) is required.

Security, auditability, and control

This product uses the security and auditability features of host software and application software.

The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.

IBM Electronic Services
Bottom rule

IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.

The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.

The Electronic Service Agent™ is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
