Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS)
Reliability, fault tolerance, and data integrity: The reliability of the model 520 system starts with components, devices, and subsystems that are designed to be fault tolerant. 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 designed to help ensure the highest level of product quality.
The model 520 system L3 cache and system memory offers ECC (error checking and correcting) fault-tolerant features. ECC is designed to correct environmentally induced, single-bit, intermittent memory failures and single-bit hard failures. With ECC, the likelihood of memory failures will be substantially reduced. ECC also provides double-bit memory error detection that helps protect data integrity in the event of a double-bit memory failure. System memory also provides 4-bit packet error detection that helps to protect data integrity in the event of a DRAM chip failure. The system bus, I/O bus, and PCI buses are designed with parity error detection.
Disk mirroring and disk controller duplexing capability are also provided by the AIX operating system. Linux supports DASD mirroring (RAID 1). This is supported in software using the md driver. There are also hardware RAID adapters supported under Linux that support mirroring.
The Journaled File System maintains file system consistency and reduces the likelihood of data loss when the system is abnormally halted due to a power failure.
PCI extended error handling (EEH)1:
In the past, PCI bus parity errors caused a global machine check interrupt, which eventually
required a system reboot to continue. In the POWER5 systems, new I/O drawer hardware, system
firmware, and AIX interaction have been designed to allow transparent recovery of intermittent PCI
bus parity errors and graceful transition to the I/O device available state in the case of a
permanent parity error in the PCI bus. This mechanism is called PCI extended error handling (EEH).
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. Currently, Linux does not support the EEH behavior. In
the event of a PCI error, the system will machine check and a reboot will be required to continue.
Memory error correction extensions: The standard memory has single-error-correct and double-error-detect ECC circuitry designed to correct single-bit memory failures. The double-bit detection is designed to help maintain data integrity by detecting and reporting multiple errors beyond what the ECC circuitry can correct. The memory chips are organized such that the failure of any specific memory module only affects a single bit within an ECC word (bit scattering), thus allowing for error correction and continued operation in the presence of a complete chip failure (Chipkill™ recovery).
The memory also utilizes memory scrubbing and thresholding to determine when spare memory modules, within each bank of memory, if available, should be used to replace ones that have exceeded their threshold value (dynamic bit steering).
Redundancy for array self-healing: Although the most likely failure event in a processor is a soft single-bit error in one of its caches, there are other events that can occur, and they need to be distinguished from one another. For the L1, L2, and L3 caches and their directories, hardware and firmware keep track of whether permanent errors are being corrected beyond a threshold. If exceeded, a deferred repair error log is created. Additional run-time availability actions, such as CPU vary off2 or L3 cache line delete, are also initiated.
L1 and L2 caches and L2 and L3 directories on the POWER5 chip are manufactured with spare bits in their arrays that can be accessed via programmable steering logic to replace faulty bits in the respective arrays. This is analogous to the redundant bit steering employed in main storage as a mechanism that is designed to help avoid physical repair, and is also implemented in POWER5 systems. The steering logic is activated during processor initialization and is initiated by the built-in self-test (BIST) at power-on time.
L3 cache redundancy is implemented at the cache line level. Exceeding correctable error thresholds
while running causes a dynamic L3 cache line delete function to be invoked.
Service Processor: The Service Processor included in the model 520 gives you an immediate means to diagnose, check status, and sense operational conditions of a remote system, even when the main processor is inoperable.
The Service Processor enables firmware and operating system surveillance, several remote power controls, environmental monitoring (only critical errors are supported under Linux), reset, boot features, remote maintenance, and diagnostic activities, including console mirroring. The Service Processor can place calls to report surveillance failures, critical environmental faults, and critical processing faults.
Fault monitoring functions
- BIST (built-in self-test) and POST (power-on self-test) check processor, L3 cache, memory, and associated hardware required for proper booting of the operating system every time the system is powered on. If a noncritical error is detected or if the errors occur in the resources that can be removed from the system configuration, the booting process is designed to proceed to completion. The errors are logged in the system nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).
- Disk drive fault tracking can alert the system administrator of an impending disk failure before it impacts customer operation.
- The AIX or Linux log (where hardware and software failures are recorded and analyzed by Error Log Analysis (ELA) routine) warns the system administrator about the causes of system problems. This also enables IBM service representatives to bring along probable replacement hardware components when a service call is placed, thus minimizing system repair time.
Mutual surveillance: The Service Processor can monitor the operation of the firmware during the boot process, and it can monitor the operating system for loss of control. It also allows the operating system to monitor for Service Processor activity. The Service Processor can take appropriate action, including calling for service, when it detects the firmware or the operating system has lost control. Likewise, the operating system can request a Service Processor repair action, if necessary.
Environmental monitoring functions
- Temperature monitoring increases the fan speed rotation when ambient temperature is above the normal operating range.
- Temperature monitoring warns the system administrator of potential environmental related-problems (for example, air conditioning and air circulation around the system) so that appropriate corrective actions can be taken before a critical failure threshold is reached. It also performs an orderly system shutdown when the operating temperature exceeds the critical level.
- Fan speed monitoring provides warning and an orderly system shutdown when the speed is out of operational specification.
- Voltage monitoring provides warning and an orderly system shutdown when the voltages are out of operational specification.
Error handling and reporting: In the unlikely event of system hardware or environmentally induced failure, the system run-time error capture capability systematically analyzes the hardware error signature to determine the cause of failure. The analysis will be stored in the system NVRAM. When the system can be successfully rebooted either manually or automatically, the error will be reported to the AIX or Linux operating system. Error Log Analysis (ELA) can be used to display the failure cause and the physical location of failing hardware.
With the integrated Service Processor, the system has the ability to automatically send out an alert via phone line to a pager or call for service in the event of critical system failure. A hardware fault will also turn on the two Attention Indicators (one located on the front of the system unit and the other on the rear of the system) to alert the user of an internal hardware problem. The indicator may also be turned on by the operator as a tool to allow system identification. For identification, the indicators will flash, whereas the indicator will be on solid when an error condition occurs.
Availability enhancement functions
- The auto-restart (reboot) option, when enabled, can reboot the system automatically following an unrecoverable software error, software hang, hardware failure, or environmentally induced (AC power) failure.
Serviceability: The model 520 is designed for customer setup of the machine and for subsequent addition of most features (adapters/devices)2. For a fee, IBM Service can perform the installation.
- The model 520 allows customers to replace service parts (Customer Replaceable Unit) if they desire to do so. To accomplish this, the model 520 has incorporated LEDs that will indicate the parts needing to be replaced.
- The model 520 allows support personnel to remotely log into a system to review error logs and perform remote maintenance. The model 520 Service Processor enables the analysis of a system that will not boot.
- The diagnostics consist of Stand-alone Diagnostics, which are loaded from the DVD-ROM drive, and Online Diagnostics.
-
Online Diagnostics1, when installed, are resident with AIX on the disk or system. They can be
booted in single-user mode (service mode), run in maintenance mode, or run concurrently (concurrent
mode) with other applications. They have access to the AIX Error Log and the AIX Configuration
Data.
- Service mode allows checking of system devices and features.
- Concurrent mode allows the normal system functions to continue while selected resources are being checked.
- Maintenance mode allows checking of most system resources.
- The System Management Services (SMS) error log is accessible from the SMS menu for tests performed through SMS programs. For results of Service Processor tests, access the error log from the Service Processor menu.
Note: Because the 9111-520 system has an optional DVD-ROM (#2640) and DVD-RAM (#5751), alternate methods for maintaining and servicing the system need to be available if the DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM is not ordered; an external Internet connection must be available to maintain or update system microcode to the latest required level.
Service Agent: The Service Agent is available at no additional charge. When installed on an eServer system, the Service Agent can enhance IBM's ability to provide the system with maintenance service.
The Service Agent:
- Monitors and analyzes system errors, and if needed, can automatically place a service call to IBM without customer intervention
- Can help reduce the effect of business disruptions due to unplanned system outages and failures
- Performs problem analysis on a subset of hardware-related problems and, with customer authorization, can report automatically the results to IBM Service
Online customer support (OCS)1: OCS for hardware problem reporting may be performed via remote login by eServer specialists. The Electronic Service Agent™ software can also be used for this capability using normal AIX facilities.
AIX Support offerings will be under AIXSERV and Electronic Service Agent.

IBM Tivoli® security
Overview: Tivoli security-ready clients and agents are planned to be preinstalled on pServer POWER5™ servers running AIX® 5L V5.2 beginning in August 2004. Preinstalled Tivoli security-ready clients and agents for POWER4+™ and POWER4™ pSeries servers running AIX 5L V5.2 are planned to also be available beginning in August 2004. IBM intends to preinstall security-ready clients and agents on eServer and pSeries POWER™ servers that support AIX 5L V5.3 in the future.
The preinstalled security clients and agents software, when coupled with optional and extra cost server-based IBM Tivoli security management solution offerings, are designed to help pSeries customers address a fundamental and heightened customer need for more secure on demand systems.
Tivoli security (identity) management solutions are designed to provide two critical layers of additional defense provided by firewalls, antivirus software, and intrusion-detection software — a security control layer and a security policy compliance layer.
The Tivoli control layer determines which server users can access and what users may view and do. The Tivoli security compliance layer helps to ensure that customers are in, and remain in, compliance with security policies while helping assess security risk and initiating responses to security events.
Highlights IBM Tivoli Security-Ready Clients/Agents: Now every eServer and pSeries POWER5, POWER4+, and POWER4 server with AIX 5L V5.2 is available with preinstalled Tivoli security-ready client and agent software.
- Client for IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Operating System AIX
- Agent for IBM Tivoli Identity Manager
- Agent for IBM Tivoli Risk Manager
- Client for IBM Tivoli Security Compliance Manager
To use each Tivoli security-ready client or agent, acquisition of the following corresponding server-based Tivoli security management product offering is required:
- IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Operating System AIX
- IBM Tivoli Identity Manager
- IBM Tivoli Risk Manager
- IBM Tivoli Security Compliance Manager
When preinstalled, the security-ready clients/agents are designed to help simplify the implementation and enablement of Tivoli security management solutions. The solutions enable a consistent enforcement of security management policies across eServer, pSeries, and AIX 5L as well as across heterogeneous server environments running UNIX®, Linux™, and Microsoft™ Windows™ operating systems.
Optional IBM Tivoli Security Management Offerings for pSeries AIX 5L: Tivoli security-ready clients and agents for eServer and pSeries AIX 5L servers enable Tivoli security management software running on an eServer or a pSeries AIX 5L server to provide and manage two different layers of security (a control layer and a security policy compliance layer) for each connected and enabled server client. One Tivoli security management server can manage up to thousands of eServer or pSeries AIX 5L server clients. Security management capabilities include:
- Secure and manage the pSeries AIX 5L Server: IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Operating System AIX is optional extra cost server-based enablement software that provides multiple eServer or pSeries AIX 5L server clients with IBM mainframe-class security. Access Manager can lock down and harden the AIX 5L operating system at the root level, thereby helping to secure applications and protect data, meet customer security audit requirements, and reduce security administration costs.
- Set up and manage the users: IBM Tivoli Identity Manager is optional extra cost server-based enablement software that automates the creation and management of multiple user accounts. Identity Manager helps to significantly shorten the time for provisioning users from weeks to minutes and automatically discovers invalid user accounts.
- Manage security operations: IBM Tivoli Risk Manager is optional extra cost server-based enablement software that centrally monitors, reports, and manages security events. Risk Manager helps to radically improve the administration of the whole security management environment.
- Audit security policies for compliance: IBM Tivoli Security Compliance Manager is optional extra cost server-based enablement software that checks the server system, middleware, and applications for vulnerability and adherence to customer security policies. Security Compliance Manager determines violations against security policies that are provided by IBM or modified or written by the customer.
Complementary (Security) Offering IBM Tivoli Directory Server
- Store users and their identities: IBM Tivoli Directory Server is server-based enablement software. Directory Server is foundational service software for building security-rich and standards-compliant identity infrastructure solutions. It provides a robust and lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) and offers a choice of providing simple user ID and password authentication or robust digital certificate-based authentication. Directory Server is provided as a part of the AIX 5L V5.2 Expansion Pack.
Customer value: Tivoli security management solutions for pSeries AIX 5L can significantly help meet the heightened and growing customer need for a more secure on demand IT and server operating environment.
Tivoli security-ready client and agent software provides customer value when preinstalled. Preinstallation with AIX 5L will help save installation planning and implementation time when the clients/agents are security enabled by Tivoli security management (server) offerings.
Significant additional customer value is provided when the Tivoli security-ready clients/agents are connected to and enabled by Tivoli security management (server) software:
- Helps protect and optimize IT resources by controlling who has access to what
- Helps reduce the cost of security administration and support
- Helps manage complexity with a single user sign-on and unified user experience
- Helps validate compliance against security policies and audits requirements
IBM value: SOSWOS (Sell Our Stuff With Our Stuff)... Tivoli security-ready clients/agents and Tivoli security management solution offerings further differentiate the value of eServer, pSeries, and AIX 5L when compared to UNIX competitors such as HP and Sun Microsystems. When marketed and sold together as an integrated security management solution, eServer, pSeries, AIX 5L, and Tivoli are a winning combination.

Information on features and external devices supported by Linux on the model 520 can be found at
Certain external machine types supported on the model 520 require that specific I/O adapters be installed in the model 520. If those I/O adapters are not supported by SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 for POWER, or later, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS for POWER Version 3, the external machine types cannot be ordered unless the system will be running a different operating system on the model 520 that supports the I/O adapter. The configurator will produce a validation error, and the configurator user will have to remove the external machine type from the initial order.
Some functions and features are not available when the model 520 is used with Linux only.
Dynamic logical partitioning
The new dynamic logical partitioning (LPAR) function provides enhanced resource management for the p5-520. 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 hot plug-PCI adapters into your system's configuration without requiring a reboot. As many as two LPARs are supported in a 2-way model 520 without the Advanced POWER Virtualization feature (#7940). If the Advanced POWER Virtualization feature is installed in the system, up to 10 dynamic LPARs per processor (20 per 2-way processor card) are supported in the stand-alone SMP server configuration on the model p5-520. Dynamic LPAR requires the use of a Hardware Management Console (HMC).
Dynamic logical partitioning is supported by the following levels of the AIX and Linux operating systems:
- AIX 5L for POWER V5.2, or later
- SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9, or later
Dynamic LPAR is not supported by the current version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS for POWER Version 3.
An IBM 7310-CR2 Rack-mounted HMC or 7310-C03 Desktop HMC is required to manage POWER5 processor-based servers implementing partitioning. Multiple partitions and multiple POWER5 processor-based servers can be supported by an HMC, located locally or remotely attached to the eServer.
The HMC is not required for a partition to run, but is required for an IBM eServer p5-520 system to create, define, and change the partition.
Advanced POWER Virtualization
Advanced POWER Virtualization (#7940) allows customers to create partitions in units of less than 1 CPU (sub-CPU LPARs) and allows the same system I/O to be virtually added to these partitions. The feature also includes a software component that provides cross-partition workload management. Advanced POWER Virtualization combines three components:
- A firmware feature to turn on micro-partitioning (#7940)
- A software feature to do the I/O Virtualization
- A software feature providing partition load management
At initial order entry, selecting feature number 7940 will result in micro-partitioning to be enabled during manufacture and the enabling software media and publications will be shipped to the customer. When ordering feature number 7940 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
Other features of Advance POWER Virtualization
- 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 Advanced POWER Virtualization.
- Partition Load Manager provides automated CPU and memory resource management across AIX 5L 5.2 or 5.3 logical partitions.
Advanced POWER Virtualization is supported by the following levels of the AIX and Linux operating systems:
- AIX 5L for POWER V5.3, or later
- SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9, or later
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS for POWER Version 3, or later
