The Power 710 Express server
is a high-performance, energy-efficient, reliable, and secure infrastructure
and application server in a dense form factor. As a high-performance infrastructure
or application server, the Power 710 Express contains innovative workload-optimizing
technologies that maximize performance based on client computing needs and
Intelligent Energy features that help maximize performance and optimize energy
efficiency, resulting in one of the most cost-efficient solutions for UNIX®, IBM i,
and Linux deployments.
The IBM Power 710 Express server
is a 2U rack-mount server with one processor socket offering 4-core 3.0 GHz,
6-core 3.7 GHz, and 8-core 3.55 GHz configurations.
The IBM Power 730 Express server
delivers the outstanding performance of the POWER7 processor in a dense, rack-optimized
form factor and is ideal for running multiple application and infrastructure
workloads in a virtualized environment. Take advantage of the Power 730 Express servers'
scalability and capacity by leveraging our industrial-strength PowerVM™ technology
to fully utilize the server's capability.
The IBM Power 730 Express server
is a 2U rack-mount server with two processor sockets offering 8-core 3.0 and
3.7 GHz, 12-core 3.7 GHz, and 16-core 3.55 GHz configurations.
The Power 710 Express server
supports a maximum of eight DDR3 DIMM slots, with four DIMM slots included
in the base configuration and four DIMM slots available with an optional memory
riser card, allowing for a maximum system memory of 64 GB. The Power 730 Express server
supports a maximum of 16 DDR3 DIMM slots, with four DIMM slots included in
the base configuration and 12 DIMM slots available with a maximum of three
optional memory riser cards, allowing for a maximum system memory of 128 GB.
Memory features (two memory DIMMs per feature) supported are 8 GB and 16
GB and run at speeds of 1066 MHz. Also, the optional Active Memory Expansion can allow
the effective maximum memory capacity to be much larger than the true physical
memory. Innovative compression/decompression of memory content using processor
cycles can allow memory expansion up to 100%. A server with a maximum of 128
GB can effectively be expanded up to 256 GB. This can enhance virtualization
and server consolidation by allowing a partition to do significantly more
work with the same physical amount of memory or a server to run more partitions
and do more work with the same physical amount of memory.
The Power 710
and 730 Express servers
offer three storage backplane options. The first supports three SFF SAS hard
disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs), an SATA DVD, and a half-high
tape drive. The second supports six SFF SAS HDDs/SSDs and an SATA DVD. The
third supports six SFF SAS HDDs/SSDs, an SATA DVD, Dual Write Cache RAID,
and an external SAS port. HDDs/SSDs are hot-swap and front accessible.
Also available in the Power 710 and Power 730 system units is a choice of
quad gigabit or dual 10 Gb integrated host Ethernet adapters. These native
ports can be selected at the time of initial order. Virtualization of these
integrated Ethernet adapters is supported.
Other integrated features include:
- Four PCIe x8 Low Profile expansion slots
- One GX++ slot on the Power 710 and two GX++ slots on the Power 730 for
4X connections
- Service Processor

IBM Editions
IBM Editions
are available only as initial order.
If you order a Power 710 or Power 730 Express server IBM Edition as defined below, you can qualify
for half the initial configuration's processor core activations at no additional
charge.
The total memory (based on the number of cores) and the quantity/size of
disk, SSD, Fibre Channel adapters, or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) adapters
shipped with the server are the only features that determine if a customer
is entitled to a processor activation at no additional charge.
Specifically, with an IBM Edition, processor activations for the processor
module options are:
Power 710
- 3.0 GHz 4-core processor module (#8350)
- 2 x #8360 (chargeable) and 2 x #8363 (no-charge) with 4-core (1 x #8350)

When you purchase an IBM Edition, you can purchase an AIX, IBM i, or Linux operating system license, or you
may choose to purchase the system with no operating system. The AIX, IBM i, or Linux operating
system is processed via a feature number on AIX 5.3, 6.1, or 7.1; IBM i 6.1.1 or IBM i
7.1; and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you
choose AIX 5.3,
6.1, or 7.1 for your primary operating system, you can also order IBM i 6.1.1 or IBM i
7.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The converse is true if you choose
an IBM i
or Linux subscription
as your primary operating system.
Processor modules and processor activations are only available to Solution
Delivery Integration (SDIs) as MES orders.
IBM Edition
minimum memory definition details:
A minimum of 2 GB memory per core on the Power 710 and 4 GB memory per core on
the Power 730
is needed to qualify for the IBM Edition, except on the 6-core IBM Edition where there is a 16 GB minimum
memory requirement for the Power 710. There can be different valid memory configurations
that meet the minimum requirement.
For example:
Power 710
- 4-core (8 GB minimum) -- 1 x 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4526); Also,
1 x 16 GB (2 x 8 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4527)
- 6-core (16 GB minimum) -- 2 x 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4526); Also,
1 x 16 GB (2 x 8 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4527)
- 8-core (16 GB minimum)-- 2 x 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4526); Also,
1 x 16 GB (2 x 8 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4527)
Power 730
- 8-core (32 GB minimum) -- 4 x 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4526); Also,
2 x 16 GB (2 x 8 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4527)
- 12-core (48 GB minimum) -- 6 x 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4526); Also,
3 x 16 GB (3 x 8 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4527)
- 16-core (64 GB minimum)-- 8 x 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4526); Also,
4 x 16 GB (4 x 8 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4527)
Edition minimum Disk/SSD/Fibre Channel/FCoE definition details:
- Minimum of: Two HDD, or two SSD, or two Fibre Channel adapters, or two
FCoE adapters. You only need to meet one of these disk/SSD/FC/FCoE criteria.
Partial criteria cannot be combined.
- Two SAS HDDs -- any capacity drives located in the system unit or feature
5886 disk drawer qualify.
- Two SAS SSDs -- any capacity drives located in the system unit or feature
5886 disk drawer qualify.
- Two SSD Modules with eMLC (#1995/#1996)-- modules located in the system
unit with feature 2053 qualify.
- Two Fibre Channel PCI-e adapters located in the system unit.
- Two Fibre Channel over Ethernet PCI-e adapters located in the system unit.
These sample configurations can be changed as needed and still qualify
for processor entitlements at no additional charge. However, selection of
total memory or HDD/SSD/Fibre Channel/FCoE adapter quantities smaller than
the totals defined as the minimums disqualifies the order as an IBM Edition and
the no-charge processor activations are then removed.
Multiple sample POWER7 IBM Edition configurations are provided
in the IBM internal
configurator tool, including:
- 3.0 GHz 4-core processor module
- 3.7 GHz 4-core processor module
- 3.7 GHz 6-core processor module
- 3.55 GHz 8-core processor module
Dynamic logical partitioning
The dynamic logical partitioning (LPAR) function provides enhanced resource
management for the Power 710 and Power 730 Express servers. Dynamic LPAR allows
available system resources to be quickly and easily configured across multiple
logical partitions to meet the rapidly changing needs of your business.
Dynamic LPAR also allows you to add new system resources such as new HDDs
or SSDs into your system's configuration without requiring a reboot. Without
the optional PowerVM Standard
Edition (#5227) or PowerVM Enterprise Edition (#5228) feature, as many
as eight LPARs are supported in an 8-core Power 710 and 16 LPARs are supported in
an 16-core Power 730.
If the PowerVM Standard
or Enterprise Edition feature is installed in the system, a maximum of 10
dynamic LPARs for each physical processor can be defined, with a Power 710 system
maximum of 80 dynamic LPARs and a Power 730 system maximum of 160 dynamic
LPARs.
An HMC or IVM is required to manage POWER7 processor-based servers implementing
partitioning. Multiple POWER7 processor-based servers can be supported by
a single HMC.
If an HMC is used to manage any POWER7 processor-based server, the HMC
must be a CR3, or later, model rack-mount HMC or C05, or later, deskside HMC.
When IBM Systems
Director is used to manage an HMC or if the HMC manages more than 254 partitions,
the HMC should have 3 GB of RAM minimum and be CR3 model, or later, rack-mount
or C06, or later, deskside.
PowerVM Editions
(optional)
Three optional PowerVM Edition features are now available on the Power 710
and Power 730: PowerVM Express Edition, PowerVM Standard
Edition, and PowerVM Enterprise
Edition. These are managed using built-in Integrated Virtualization Manager
(IVM) software or optionally through use of an HMC.
PowerVM Standard
Edition (#5227) and PowerVM Enterprise Edition (#5228) allow customers
to create partitions in units of less than 1 CPU (sub-CPU LPARs) and allow
the same system I/O to be virtually added to these partitions. The optional
features, available for a fee, also include a software component that provides
cross-partition workload management.
PowerVM Standard
and Enterprise Editions offer:
- Micro-Partitioning™ (up
to 10 partitions per processor core, 80 per Power 710 system and 160 per Power 730 system)
- Virtualized disk and optical devices (VIOS)
- Automated CPU reconfiguration
- Real-time partition configuration and load statistics
- Support for dedicated and shared processor LPAR groups
- Support for manual provisioning of resources
At initial order entry, selecting feature number 5227 or 5228 will result
in Micro-Partitioning to
be enabled during manufacture and the enabling software media and publications
to be shipped to the customer. When ordering feature number 5227 or 5228 as
an MES, an activation key will be posted on an IBM Web site, and the customer must retrieve
it and install it on the system.
The IBM Web
site is
- http://www-912.ibm.com/pod/pod
Other features of PowerVM Editions:
- If any processors in a system have the Virtualization feature, all active
processors must have it.
- Once the Virtualization feature is installed in a system, it cannot be
removed.
- Virtual Ethernet and Virtual Storage are part of PowerVM Editions.
PowerVM Enterprise
Edition also includes Live Partition Mobility, which allows for the movement
of a logical partition from one POWER6™ or POWER7 server to another with no application
downtime, and Active
Memory Sharing, which dynamically reallocates memory between running
logical partitions on a server. Also available is PowerVM Express (#5225), designed for users
looking for an introduction to more advanced virtualization features at a
highly affordable price. With PowerVM Express and IVM, users can create up
to three partitions on the server, leverage VIOS, utilize Shared Dedicated
Capacity to help optimize use of processor cycles, and even try out the Shared
Processor Pool. With its intuitive browser-based interface, IVM is easy to
use and helps reduce the time and effort required to manage virtual devices,
processors, and partitions. An HMC is not required.
Notes:
- PowerVM 2.1.2.11
with Fix Pack 22.1 and Service Pack 1, or later, and a supported AIX or Linux operating
system level are minimum requirements for performing Live Partition Mobility
functions on POWER7.
Refer to the Software requirements section for
more information on minimum AIX and Linux operating system levels.
- Active
Memory Sharing is planned to be supported with the availability of SLES
11 SP1.
Customers can upgrade from PowerVM Express to either PowerVM Standard
or PowerVM Enterprise,
or they can upgrade from PowerVM Standard to PowerVM Enterprise.
By upgrading to PowerVM Standard or PowerVM Enterprise, users gain the ability
to create up to 80 logical partitions on the Power 710 or up to 160 logical partitions
on the Power 730.
Users also gain the ability to manage their PowerVM enabled machine with either an
HMC or the Integrated Virtualization Manager.
By upgrading to PowerVM Enterprise, users can leverage Live Partition
Mobility and Active
Memory Sharing.
I/O drawer availability
One disk-only I/O drawer is supported, providing large storage capacity
and multiple partition support:
- Feature 5886 EXP12S holds 3.5-inch SAS disk or SSD.
EXP 12S SAS Drawer (#5886)
The EXP 12S SAS Drawer (#5886) is a 2 EIA drawer and mounts in a 19-inch
rack. The drawer can hold either SAS HDDs or SSD. The EXP 12S SAS drawer has
twelve 3.5-inch SAS disk bays with redundant data paths to each bay. The drawer
supports redundant hot-plug power and cooling and redundant hot-swap SAS expanders
(Enclosure Services Manager-ESM). Each ESM has an independent SCSI Enclosure
Services (SES) diagnostic processor.
The SAS HDDs or SSD contained in the EXP12S are controlled by one or two
PCIe or PCI-X SAS adapters connected to the EXP12S via SAS cables. The SAS
cable will vary, depending upon the adapter being used, the operating system
being used, and the protection desired.
- The large cache PCI-X feature 5904/5908 uses a SAS Y cable when a single
port is running the EXP12S. A SAS X cable is used when a pair of adapters
are used for controller redundancy.
- The medium cache PCI-X feature 5902 and PCIe feature 5903 adapters are
always paired and use a SAS X cable to attach the feature 5886 I/O drawer.
- The zero cache PCI-X feature 5912 and PCIe feature 5901 use a SAS Y cable
when a single port is running the EXP12S. A SAS X cable is used for AIX/Linux
environments when a pair of adapters is used for controller redundancy.
In all of the above configurations, all 12 SAS bays are controlled by a
single controller or a single pair of controllers.
A second EXP12S drawer can be attached to another drawer using two SAS
EE cables, providing 24 SAS bays instead of 12 bays for the same SAS controller
port. This is called cascading. In this configuration, all 24 SAS bays
are controlled by a single controller or a single pair of controllers.
The feature 5886 can also be directly attached to the SAS port on the rear
of the Power 710
or Power 730,
providing a very low-cost disk storage solution. When used this way, the imbedded
SAS controllers in the system unit drive the HDDs in EXP12S. A second unit
cannot be cascaded to a feature 5886 attached in this way.
19-inch racks
The Model 8231-E2B and its I/O drawers are designed to mount in the 25U
7014-S25 (#0555), 36U 7014-T00 (#0551), or the 42U 7014-T42 (#0553) rack.
These racks are built to the 19-inch EIA standard. When you order a new 8231
system, you can also order the appropriate 7014 rack model with the system
hardware on the same initial order. IBM is making the racks available as features
of the 8232-E2B when you order additional I/O drawer hardware for an existing
system (MES order). The rack feature number should be used if you want IBM to
integrate the newly ordered I/O drawer in a 19-inch rack before shipping the
MES order.
1.3-meter rack (#0555 - supported only)
The 1.3-meter rack (#0555) is a 25 EIA unit rack. The rack is the same
rack delivered when you order the 7014-S25 rack.
1.8-meter rack (#0551)
The 1.8-meter rack (#0551) is a 36 EIA unit rack. The rack that is delivered
as feature 0551 is the same rack delivered when you order the 7014-T00 rack;
the included features may be different. Some features that are delivered as
part of the 7014-T00 must be ordered separately with the feature 0551. Order
the feature 0551 only when required to support rack integration of MES orders
prior to shipment from IBM.
2.0-meter rack (#0553)
The 2.0-meter rack (#0553) is a 42 EIA unit tall rack. The rack that is
delivered as feature 0553 is the same rack delivered when you order the 7014-T42
rack; the included features may be different. Some features that are delivered
as part of the 7014-T42 must be ordered separately with the feature 0553.

Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS)
features
Reliability, fault tolerance, and data correction
The reliability of systems starts with components, devices, and subsystems
that are designed to be highly reliable. The POWER7 processor SCM uses lower-voltage
technology, improving reliability with stacked latches to reduce soft error
(SER) susceptibility. During the design and development process, subsystems
go through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During
system manufacturing, systems go through a thorough testing process to help
ensure the highest level of product quality.
The system cache and memory offer ECC (error checking and correcting) fault-tolerant
features. ECC is designed to correct environmentally induced, single-bit,
intermittent memory failures and single-bit hard failures. With ECC, the likelihood
of memory failures will be reduced. ECC also provides double-bit memory error
detection that helps protect data in the event of a double-bit memory failure.
The AIX and IBM i
operating systems provide disk drive mirroring and disk drive controller duplexing.
The Linux operating
system supports disk drive mirroring (RAID 1) through software, while other
RAID protection schemes are provided via hardware RAID adapters.
The Journaled File System, also known as JFS or JFS2, helps maintain file
system consistency and reduces the likelihood of data loss when the system
is abnormally halted due to a power failure. JFS, the recommended file system
for 32-bit kernels, now supports extents on the Linux operating system. This feature is
designed to reduce or eliminate fragmentation. Its successor, JFS2, is the
recommended file system for 64-bit kernels.
With 64-bit addressing, a maximum file system size of 32 TB and maximum
file size of 16 TB, JFS2 is highly recommended for systems running the AIX operating
system.
Memory error correction extensions
The memory has single-bit-error correction and double-bit-error detection
ECC circuitry. The ECC code is also designed such that the failure of any
one specific memory module within an ECC word by itself can be corrected absent
any other fault.
Memory protection features include scrubbing to detect errors, a means
to call for the deallocation of memory pages for a pattern of correctable
errors detected, and signaling deallocation of a logical memory block when
an error occurs that cannot be corrected by the ECC code.
Fault monitoring functions
- When a POWER7 processor-based
system is initially powered on, BIST (built-in self-test) and POST (power-on
self-test) check processor, cache, memory, and associated hardware required
for proper booting of the operating system. If a noncritical error is detected
or if the errors occur in resources that can be removed from the system configuration,
the restarting process is designed to proceed to completion. The errors are
logged in the system nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).
- Disk drive fault tracking is designed to alert the system administrator
of an impending disk drive failure before it impacts customer operation.
Mutual surveillance
The Service Processor monitors the operation of the firmware during the
boot process, and also monitors the Hypervisor™ for termination. The Hypervisor monitors
the Service Processor and will perform a reset/reload if it detects the loss
of the Service Processor. If the reset/reload does not correct the problem
with the Service Processor, the Hypervisor will notify the operating
system and the operating system can take appropriate action, including calling
for service.
Environmental monitoring functions
POWER7 based
servers include a range of environmental monitoring functions:
- Temperature monitoring warns the system administrator of potential environmental-related
problems by monitoring the air inlet temperature. When the inlet temperature
rises above a warning threshold, the system initiates an orderly shutdown.
When the temperature exceeds the critical level or if the temperature remains
above the warning level for too long, the system will shut down immediately.
- Fan speed is controlled by monitoring actual temperatures on critical
components and adjusting accordingly. If internal component temperatures reach
critical levels, the system will shut down immediately, regardless of fan
speed. When a redundant fan fails, the system calls out the failing fan and
continues running. When a nonredundant fan fails, the system shuts down immediately.
Availability enhancement functions
The POWER7 family
of systems continues to offer and introduce significant enhancements designed
to increase system availability.
POWER7 processor
functions
As in POWER6,
the POWER7 processor
has the ability to do processor instruction retry and alternate processor
recovery for a number of core-related faults. This significantly reduces exposure
to both hard (logic) and soft (transient) errors in the processor core. Soft
failures in the processor core are transient (intermittent) errors, often
due to cosmic rays or other sources of radiation, and generally are not repeatable.
When an error is encountered in the core, the POWER7 processor will first automatically
retry the instruction. If the source of the error was truly transient, the
instruction will succeed and the system will continue as before. On IBM systems prior
to POWER6,
this error would have caused a checkstop.
Hard failures are more difficult, being true logical errors that will be
replicated each time the instruction is repeated. Retrying the instruction
will not help in this situation. As in POWER6, POWER7 processors have the ability to
extract the failing instruction from the faulty core and retry it elsewhere
in the system for a number of faults, after which the failing core is dynamically
deconfigured and called out for replacement. These systems are designed to
avoid a full system outage.
POWER7 single
processor checkstopping
As in POWER6, POWER7 provides
single processor checkstopping. This significantly reduces the probability
of a fault in any one processor affecting total system availability.
Partition availability priority
Also available is the ability to assign availability priorities to partitions.
If an alternate processor recovery event requires spare processor resources
in order to protect a workload, when no other means of obtaining the spare
resources is available, the system will determine which partition has the
lowest priority and attempt to claim the needed resource. On a properly configured POWER7 processor-based
server, this allows that capacity to be first obtained from, for example,
a test partition instead of a financial accounting system.
POWER7 cache
availability
The POWER processor-based line of servers continues to be at the fore-front
of cache availability enhancements. The L3 cache is now integrated on the POWER7 processor.
The POWER7 processor
provides both L2 and L3 cache line delete functions.
Special uncorrectable error handling
Special Uncorrectable Error (SUE) handling was an IBM innovation introduced for POWER5™ processors,
where an uncorrectable error in memory or cache does not immediately cause
the system to terminate. Rather, the system tags the data and determines
whether it will ever be used again. If the error is irrelevant, it will not
force a checkstop.
PCI extended error handling
PCI extended error handling (EEH)-enabled adapters respond to a special
data packet generated from the affected PCI slot hardware by calling system
firmware, which will examine the affected bus, allow the device driver to
reset it, and continue without a system reboot. For Linux, EEH support
extends to the majority of frequently used devices, although some third-party
PCI devices may not provide native EEH support.
Predictive failure and dynamic component deallocation
Servers with POWER processors have long had the capability to perform predictive
failure analysis on certain critical components such as processors and memory.
When these components exhibit certain symptoms that may indicate a failure
is imminent, the system can dynamically deallocate and call home, when enabled,
about the failing part before the error is propagated system-wide. In many
cases, the system will first attempt to reallocate resources in such a way
that will avoid unplanned outages. In the event that insufficient resources
exist to maintain full system availability, these servers will attempt to
maintain partition availability by user-defined priority.
Uncorrectable error recovery
When the auto-restart option is enabled, the system can automatically restart
following an unrecoverable software error, hardware failure, or environmentally
induced (ac power) failure.
Serviceability
The purpose of serviceability is to repair the system while attempting
to minimize or eliminate service cost (within budget objectives), while maintaining
high customer satisfaction. Serviceability includes system installation, MES
(system upgrades/downgrades), and system maintenance/repair. Depending upon
the system and warranty contract, service may be performed by the customer,
an IBM representative,
or an authorized warranty service provider.
The serviceability features delivered in this system provide a highly efficient
service environment by incorporating the following attributes
- Design for Customer Set Up (CSU), Customer Installed Features (CIF), and
Customer Replaceable Units (CRU)
- Error detection and Fault Isolation (ED/FI)
- First Failure Data Capture (FFDC)
- Converged service approach across multiple IBM server platforms
Service environments
The HMC is a dedicated server that provides functions for configuring and
managing servers for either partitioned or full-system partition using a GUI
or command-line interface (CLI). An HMC attached to the system allows support
personnel (with client authorization) to remotely log in to review error logs
and perform remote maintenance if required.
The POWER7 processor-based
platforms support two main service environments:
- Attachment to one or more HMCs is a supported option by the system. This
is the default configuration for servers supporting logical partitions with
dedicated or virtual I/O. In this case, all servers have at least one logical
partition.
- No HMC. There are two service strategies for non-HMC systems
- Full system partition: A single partition owns all the server resources
and only one operating system may be installed.
- Partitioned system: In this configuration, the system can have more than
one partition and can be running more than one operating system. In this environment,
partitions are managed by the Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM), which
provides some of the functions provided by the HMC.
Service Interface
The Service Interface allows support personnel to communicate with the
service support applications in a server using a console, interface, or terminal.
Delivering a clear, concise view of available service applications, the Service
Interface allows the support team to manage system resources and service information
in an efficient and effective way. Applications available via the Service
Interface are carefully configured and placed to give service providers access
to important service functions.
Different service interfaces are used, depending on the state of the system
and its operating environment. The primary service interfaces are:
- LEDs
- Operator Panel
- Service Processor menu
- Operating system service menu
- Service Focal
Point™ on the HMC
- Service Focal
Point Lite on IVM
In the light path LED implementation, the system can clearly identify components
for replacement by using specific component-level LEDs, and can also guide
the servicer directly to the component by signaling (turning on solid) the
amber system fault LED, enclosure fault LED, and the component FRU fault LED.
The servicer can also use the identify function to blink the FRU-level LED.
When this function is activated, a roll-up to the blue enclosure locate and
system locate LEDs will occur. These LEDs will turn on solid and can be used
to follow the light path from the system to the enclosure and down to the
specific FRU.
First Failure Data Capture and Error Data Analysis
First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) is a technique that helps ensure that
when a fault is detected in a system, the root cause of the fault will be
captured without the need to re-create the problem or run any sort of extending
tracing or diagnostics program. For the vast majority of faults, a good FFDC
design means that the root cause can also be detected automatically without
servicer intervention.
First Failure Data Capture FFDC information, error data analysis, and fault
isolation are necessary to implement the advanced serviceability techniques
that enable efficient service of the systems and to help determine the failing
items.
In the rare absence of FFDC and Error Data Analysis, diagnostics are required
to re-create the failure and determine the failing items.
Diagnostics
General diagnostic objectives are to detect and identify problems such
that they can be resolved quickly. Elements of IBM's diagnostics strategy
include:
- Provide a common error code format equivalent to a system reference code,
system reference number, checkpoint, or firmware error code.
- Provide fault detection and problem isolation procedures. Support remote
connection ability to be used by the IBM Remote Support Center or IBM Designated
Service.
- Provide interactive intelligence within the diagnostics with detailed
online failure information while connected to IBM's back-end system.
Automatic diagnostics
Because of the FFDC technology designed into IBM Servers, it is not necessary to perform
re-create diagnostics for failures or require user intervention. Solid and
intermittent errors are designed to be correctly detected and isolated at
the time the failure occurs. Runtime and boot-time diagnostics fall into this
category.
Stand-alone diagnostics
As the name implies, stand-alone or user-initiated diagnostics require
user intervention. The user must perform manual steps, including:
- Compact disk-based diagnostics
- Keying in commands
- Interactively selecting steps from a list of choices
Concurrent maintenance
The system will continue to support concurrent maintenance of power, cooling,
PCI adapters, DASD, DVD, and firmware updates (when possible). The determination
of whether a firmware release can be updated concurrently is identified in
the readme information file released with the firmware.
Service labels
Service providers use these labels to assist them in performing maintenance
actions. Service labels are found in various formats and positions, and are
intended to transmit readily available information to the servicer during
the repair process. Following are some of these service labels and their
purpose:
- Location diagrams: Location diagrams are strategically located on the
system hardware, relating information regarding the placement of hardware
components. Location diagrams may include location codes, drawings of physical
locations, concurrent maintenance status, or other data pertinent to a repair.
Location diagrams are especially useful when multiple components are installed
such as DIMMs, CPUs, processor books, fans, adapter cards, LEDs, and power
supplies.
- Remove/replace procedures: Service labels that contain remove/replace
procedures are often found on a cover of the system or in other spots accessible
to the servicer. These labels provide systematic procedures, including diagrams,
detailing how to remove/replace certain serviceable hardware components.
- Arrows: Numbered arrows are used to indicate the order of operation and
serviceability direction of components. Some serviceable parts such as latches,
levers, and touch points need to be pulled or pushed in a certain direction
and certain order for the mechanical mechanisms to engage or disengage. Arrows
generally improve the ease of serviceability.
Packaging for service
The following service enhancements are included in the physical packaging
of the systems to facilitate service:
- Color coding (touch points): Terracotta-colored touch points indicate
that a component (FRU/CRU) can be concurrently maintained. Blue-colored touch
points delineate components that are not concurrently maintained -- those
that require the system to be turned off for removal or repair.
- Tool-less design: Selected IBM systems support tool-less or simple
tool designs. These designs require no tools or simple tools such as flathead
screw drivers to service the hardware components.
- Positive retention: Positive retention mechanisms help to assure proper
connections between hardware components such as cables to connectors, and
between two cards that attach to each other. Without positive retention,
hardware components run the risk of becoming loose during shipping or installation,
preventing a good electrical connection. Positive retention mechanisms like
latches, levers, thumb-screws, pop Nylatches (U-clips), and cables are included
to help prevent loose connections and aid in installing (seating) parts correctly.
These positive retention items do not require tools.
Error handling and reporting
In the event of system hardware or environmentally induced failure, the
system runtime error capture capability systematically analyzes 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 restarted
either manually or automatically, the error will be reported to the operating
system. Error Log Analysis (ELA) can be used to display the failure cause
and the physical location of the failing hardware.
With the integrated Service Processor, the system has the ability to automatically
send out an alert via phone line to a pager or call for service in the event
of a critical system failure. A hardware fault will also turn on the amber
system fault LED located on the system unit to alert the user of an internal
hardware problem. The indicator may also be set to blink by the operator as
a tool to allow system identification. For identification, the blue locate
LED on the enclosure and at the system level will turn on solid. The amber
system fault LED will be on solid when an error condition occurs.
On POWER7 processor-based
servers, hardware and software failures are recorded in the system log. When
an HMC is attached, an ELA routine analyzes the error, forwards the event
to the Service Focal
Point (SFP) application running on the HMC, and notifies the system administrator
that it has isolated a likely cause of the system problem. The Service Processor
event log also records unrecoverable checkstop conditions, forwards them to
the SFP application, and notifies the system administrator. Once the information
is logged in the SFP application, if the system is properly configured, a
call home service request will be initiated and the pertinent failure data
with service parts information and part locations will be sent to an IBM Service organization.
Customer contact information and specific system-related data such as the
machine type, model, and serial number, along with error log data related
to the failure are sent to IBM Service.
Service Processor
The Service Processor provides the capability to diagnose, check the status
of, and sense the operational conditions of a system. It runs on its own power
boundary and does not require resources from a system processor to be operational
to perform its tasks.
The Service Processor supports surveillance of the connection to the HMC
and to the system firmware (Hypervisor). It also provides several remote
power control options, environmental monitoring, reset, restart, remote maintenance,
and diagnostic functions, including console mirroring. The Service Processors
menus (ASMI) can be accessed concurrently with system operation, allowing
nondisruptive abilities to change system default parameters.
Call Home
Call Home refers to an automatic or manual call from a customer location
to IBM support
structure with error log data, server status, or other service-related information.
Call Home invokes the service organization in order for the appropriate service
action to begin. Call Home can be done through HMC or non-HMC managed systems.
While configuring Call Home is optional, clients are encouraged to implement
this feature in order to obtain service enhancements such as reduced problem
determination and faster and potentially more accurate transmittal of error
information. In general, using the Call Home feature can result in increased
system availability. The Electronic Service Agent™ application
can be configured for automated call home. Refer to the next section for specific
details on this application.
IBM Electronics Services
Electronic
Service Agent and the IBM Electronic Services Web portal comprise the IBM Electronic
Services solution -- dedicated to providing fast, exceptional support to IBM customers. IBM Electronic
Service Agent is a no-charge tool that proactively monitors and reports
hardware events such as system errors, performance issues, and inventory.
Electronic
Service Agent can help focus on the customer's company strategic business
initiatives, save time, and spend less effort managing day-to-day IT maintenance
issues.
Integrated in the operating system in addition to the HMC, Electronic
Service Agent is designed to automatically and electronically report
system failures and customer-perceived issues to IBM, which can result in faster problem
resolution and increased availability. System configuration and inventory
information collected by Electronic Service Agent also can
be viewed on the secure Electronic Services Web portal and used to improve
problem determination and resolution between the customer and the IBM support team.
As part of an increased focus to provide even better service to IBM customers, Electronic
Service Agent tool configuration and activation comes standard with the
system. In support of this effort, a new HMC External Connectivity security
white paper has been published, which describes data exchanges between the
HMC and the IBM Service
Delivery Center (SDC) and the methods and protocols for this exchange. To
read the white paper and prepare for Electronic Service Agent installation,

Service Agent Connectivity Guide."
Benefits
Increased uptime: Electronic Service Agent is designed
to enhance the warranty and maintenance service by providing faster hardware
error reporting and uploading system information to IBM Support. This can optimize the time
monitoring the symptoms, diagnosing the error, and manually calling IBM Support to
open a problem record. And 24 x 7 monitoring and reporting means no more dependency
on human intervention or off-hours customer personnel when errors are encountered
in the middle of the night.
Security: Electronic Service Agent is secure
in monitoring, reporting, and storing the data at IBM. Electronic Service Agent securely
transmits via the Internet (HTTPS or VPN) and can be configured to communicate
securely through gateways to provide customers a single point of exit from
their site. Communication between the customer and IBM only flows one way; activating Service
Agent does not enable IBM to call into a customer's system. System inventory
information is stored in a secure database, which is protected behind IBM firewalls.
The customer's business applications or business data is never transmitted
to IBM.
More accurate reporting: Because system information and error logs
are automatically uploaded to the IBM Support Center in conjunction with the
service request, customers are not required to find and send system information,
decreasing the risk of misreported or misdiagnosed errors. Once inside IBM,
problem error data is run through a data knowledge management system and knowledge
articles are appended to the problem record.
Customized support: Using the IBM ID entered during activation, customers
can view system and support information in the "My Systems" and "Premium Search"
sections of the Electronic Services Web site.
The Electronic Services Web portal is a single Internet entry point that
replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services
and support. This Web portal enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources
for assistance in resolving technical problems. The newly improved My Systems
and Premium Search functions make it even easier for Electronic Service Agent-enabled
customers to track system inventory and find pertinent fixes.
My Systems provides valuable reports of installed hardware and software
using information collected from the systems by IBM Electronic Service Agent.
Reports are available for any system associated with the customer's IBM ID. Premium
Search combines the function of search and the value of Electronic
Service Agent information, providing advanced search of the technical
support knowledgebase. Using Premium Search and the Service Agent information
that has been collected from the system, customers are able to see search
results that apply specifically to their systems.

Hardware requirements
Power 710/730
minimum system configuration
The Power 710
offers 4-, 6-, and 8-core configurations with one processor module. The Power 710
can contain up to 64 GB of system memory (32 GB maximum per memory riser card).
The Power 730
offers 8-, 12-, and 16-core configurations with two processor modules. The Power 730
can contain up to 128 GB of system memory (32 GB maximum per memory riser
card).
Both the Power 710
and Power 730
offer four PCIe Low Profile adapters, and three or six SFF HDDs/SDDS and one
or two media devices, depending on the storage backplane selected.
Each Power 710/730
initial order must include a minimum of the following items:
Note: One nonfeaturized memory riser card is included in the base system.
One additional memory riser card feature (#5265) can be ordered on the Power 710.
Three additional memory riser card features (#5265) can be ordered on the Power 730.
RAID
There are multiple protection options for HDD/SSD drives in the SAS SFF
bays in Power 710
and Power 730
system units or drives in disk-only I/O drawers. Although protecting drives
is always recommended, AIX/Linux users may choose to leave some or all drives
unprotected at their own risk and IBM supports these configurations. IBM i configuration
rules differ in this regard, and IBM supports IBM i partition configurations only when
HDD/SSD drives are protected.
This HDD/SSD drive protection can be provided by AIX/IBM i/Linux software
or by the HDD/SSD hardware controllers. Mirroring of drives is provided by
AIX/IBM i/Linux software. In addition, AIX/Linux supports controllers providing
RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, or 10. IBM i integrated storage management already provides
striping, so IBM i
also supports controllers providing RAID 5 or 6. To further augment HDD/SSD
protection, hot spare capability can be used for protected drives. Specific
hot spare prerequisites apply.
An integrated SAS HDD/SSD controller is provided in the Power 710 and Power 730
system units and provides support for JBOD and RAID 0 for AIX or Linux. It is
optionally augmented by RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10 capability when feature
5268 is added to the configuration. In addition to these protection options,
mirroring of drives by the operating system is supported. AIX or Linux supports
all of these options. IBM i does not use JBOD and uses imbedded functions instead
of RAID 10, but does leverage the RAID 5 or 6 function of the integrated controllers.
Other disk/SSD controllers are provided as PCIe SAS adapters are supported.
PCI Controllers with and without write cache are supported. RAID 5 and RAID
6 on controllers with write cache are supported.
AIX/Linux can use disk drives formatted with 512 byte blocks when being
mirrored by the operating system. These disk drives must be reformatted to
528 byte sectors when used in RAID arrays. Although a small percentage of
the drive's capacity is lost, additional data protection such as ECC and bad
block detection is gained in this reformatting. For example, a 300 GB disk
drive when reformatted provides around 283 GB. IBM i always uses drives formatted to 528
byte. IBM Power SSDs
are formatted to 528 byte.

Limitations
System
- Integrated system ports are not supported under AIX or Linux when the HMC ports are connected
to an HMC. Either the HMC ports or the integrated system ports can be used,
but not both. IBM i
can continue to use a system port for communication to a UPS even with an
HMC attached.
- The integrated system ports are supported for modem and asynch terminal
connections by AIX or Linux.
Any other application using serial ports requires a serial port adapter to
be installed in a PCI slot. The integrated system ports do not support HACMP™ configurations. IBM i
only supports the use of the system ports for attachment to a UPS.
Hardware management console (HMC) machine code
An HMC or IVM is required to manage POWER7 processor-based servers implementing
partitioning. Multiple POWER7 processor-based servers can be supported by
a single HMC.
If an HMC is used to manage any POWER7 processor-based server, the HMC
must be a CR3, or later, model rack-mount HMC or C05, or later, deskside HMC.
If attaching an HMC to a new server or adding function to an existing server
that requires a firmware update, the HMC machine code may need to be updated.
To determine the HMC machine code level required for the firmware level
on any server, go to the following Web page to access the Fix Level Recommendation
Tool (FLRT) on or after the planned availability date for this product. FLRT
will identify the correct HMC machine code for the selected system firmware
level
- https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/hmc/home.html
If a single HMC is attached to multiple servers, the HMC machine code level
must be updated to the server with the most recent firmware level. All prior
levels of server firmware are supported with the latest HMC machine code level.
When IBM Systems
Director is used to manage an HMC or if the HMC manages more than 254 partitions,
the HMC should have 3 GB of RAM minimum and be CR3 model, or later, rack-mount
or C06, or later, deskside.
Boot requirements
- Selection of feature 0837 will indicate boot from SAN.
- If IBM i
(#2145) is selected as the primary operating system and SAN boot is not selected
(#0837), one of the following Load/Source specify codes must be specified:
- #0724 -- #1996 (177 GB 1.8" SSD) Load Source Specify
- #0727 -- Remote Load Source Specify in #5886
- #0840 -- #3678 (283.7 GB 15K RPM HDD) Load Source Specify
- #0844 -- #3658 (428 GB 15K RPM HDD) Load Source Specify
- #0851 -- #1884 (69.7 GB 15K RPM SFF HDD) Load Source Specify
- #0853 -- #1888 (138 GB 15K RPM SFF HDD) Load Source Specify
- #0854 -- #1909 (69 GB SFF SSD) Load Source Specify
- #0856 -- #1911 (283 GB 10K RPM SFF HDD) Load Source Specify
- If IBM i
(#2145) is selected, one of the following system console specify codes must
be selected:
- #5550 -- System Console on HMC
- #5553 -- System Console - Internal LAN
Processor modules
- One or two processor modules are required on an order with four, six,
or eight processor cores on the processor module. A minimum/maximum of one
processor module is required on a Power 710 order and a minimum/maximum
of two processor modules is required on a Power 730 order.
- All processors must be activated.
- The 4-core 3.0 GHz processor module (#8350) requires that four processor
activation codes be ordered. A maximum of four processor activation code features
(4 x #8360, or 2 x #8360 and 2 x #8363) are allowed per processor module.
- The 4-core 3.7 GHz processor module (#8349) requires that four processor
activation codes be ordered. A maximum of four processor activation code features
(4 x #8381, or 2 x #8381 and 2 x #8383) are allowed per processor module.
- The 6-core 3.7 GHz processor module (#8349) requires that six processor
activation codes be ordered. A maximum of six processor activation code features
(6 x #8382, or 3 x #8382 and 3 x #8384) are allowed per processor module.
- The 8-core 3.55 GHz processor module (#8359) requires that eight processor
activation codes be ordered. A maximum of eight processor activation code
features (8 x #8372, or 4 x #8372 and 4 x #8375) are allowed per processor
module.
Power supply
- The Power 710
contains one 1725 watt AC power supply (1 x #5603). The Power 730 contains
two 1725 watt AC power supplies (2 x #5603).
- A second 1725 watt AC power supply (#5603) is available for redundant
power on the Power 710.
Redundant fans
Power cords
One power cord is required for each power supply on the order. The Power 710
supports 110-127 V ac and 200-240 V ac power cords. The Power 730 supports
200-240 V ac power cords only.
System memory
A minimum 8 GB or two DIMMs of memory is required on the Power 710 and Power 730
systems.
- The base machine contains one nonfeaturized memory riser card with four
DIMM sockets. Memory features consume two memory DIMM sockets.
- The Power 710
offers one optional memory riser card feature (1 x #5265) with an additional
four DIMM sockets. Maximum system memory is 32 GB without feature 5265 and
64 GB with one x feature 5265.
- The Power 730
offers three optional memory riser card features (3 x #5265) with an additional
four DIMM sockets per feature. Maximum system memory is 32 GB without feature
5265 and 128 GB with three x feature 5265.
- A system can be ordered with a single memory feature 4526 or 4527. When
adding additional memory to a system with one x feature 4526, a second one
x feature 4526 must be ordered, and then all memory must be ordered in increments
of two x feature 4526. When adding additional memory to a system with one
x feature 4527, a second one x feature 4527 must be ordered, and then all
memory must be ordered in increments of two x feature 4527.
- Feature 4526 and feature 4527 are not allowed on the same memory riser
card. However, memory features can be different from one memory riser card
to another.
- It is generally recommended that memory be installed evenly across all
memory riser cards in the system. Balancing memory across the installed memory
riser cards allows memory access in a consistent manner and typically results
in the best possible performance for your configuration. However, balancing
memory fairly evenly across multiple memory riser cards, compared to balancing
memory exactly evenly typically has a very small performance difference.
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.

Electronic
Service Agent and the IBM Electronic Support Web portal are dedicated to providing
fast, exceptional support to IBM Systems customers. The IBM Electronic Service Agent tool
is a no-additional-charge tool that proactively monitors and reports hardware
events, such as system errors, performance issues, and inventory. The Electronic
Service Agent tool can help you stay focused on your company's strategic
business initiatives, save time, and spend less effort managing day-to-day
IT maintenance issues. Servers enabled with this tool can be monitored remotely
around the clock by IBM Support all at no additional cost to you.
Now integrated into the base operating system of AIX 5.3, AIX 6.1, and AIX 7.1, Electronic Service Agent is
designed to automatically and electronically report system failures and utilization
issues to IBM,
which can result in faster problem resolution and increased availability.
System configuration and inventory information collected by the Electronic
Service Agent tool also can be viewed on the secure Electronic Support
Web portal, and used to improve problem determination and resolution by you
and the IBM support
team. To access the tool main menu, simply type "smitty esa_main", and select
"Configure Electronic
Service Agent." In addition, ESA now includes a powerful Web user interface,
giving the administrator easy access to status, tool settings, problem information,
and filters. For more information and documentation on how to configure and
use Electronic
Service Agent, refer to
- http://www.ibm.com/support/electronic
The IBM Electronic
Support portal is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple
entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. This
portal enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving
technical problems. The My Systems and Premium Search functions make it even
easier for Electronic
Service Agent tool-enabled customers to track system inventory and find
pertinent fixes.
Benefits
Increased uptime: The Electronic Service Agent tool
is designed to enhance the Warranty or Maintenance Agreement by providing
faster hardware error reporting and uploading system information to IBM Support. This
can translate to less wasted time monitoring the "symptoms," diagnosing the
error, and manually calling IBM Support to open a problem record. Its 24 x 7 monitoring
and reporting mean no more dependence on human intervention or off-hours customer
personnel when errors are encountered in the middle of the night.
Security: The Electronic Service Agent tool
is designed to be secure in monitoring, reporting, and storing the data at IBM.
The Electronic
Service Agent tool securely transmits either via the Internet (HTTPS
or VPN) or modem, and can be configured to communicate securely through gateways
to provide customers a single point of exit from their site. Communication
is one way. Activating Electronic Service Agent does not
enable IBM to
call into a customer's system. System inventory information is stored in a
secure database, which is protected behind IBM firewalls. It is viewable only by the
customer and IBM.
The customer's business applications or business data is never transmitted
to IBM.
More accurate reporting: Since system information and error
logs are automatically uploaded to the IBM Support center in conjunction with the
service request, customers are not required to find and send system information,
decreasing the risk of misreported or misdiagnosed errors. Once inside IBM,
problem error data is run through a data knowledge management system and knowledge
articles are appended to the problem record.
Customized support: Using the IBM ID entered during activation, customers
can view system and support information in the "My Systems" and "Premium Search"
sections of the Electronic Support Web site at
- http://www.ibm.com/support/electronic
My Systems provides valuable reports of installed hardware and software
using information collected from the systems by Electronic Service Agent.
Reports are available for any system associated with the customer's IBM ID. Premium
Search combines the function of search and the value of Electronic
Service Agent information, providing advanced search of the technical
support knowledgebase. Using Premium Search and the Electronic Service Agent information
that has been collected from your system, customers are able to see search
results that apply specifically to their systems.
