IBM Intelligent Cluster description
Computing applications or environments often have more requirements than an individual computer or server can address. These requirements may be best addressed by several computers working together. A cluster is a group of interconnected individual computers, working together on a single problem, or consolidating workloads from multiple servers. Although these computers can operate individually, they are managed from a single point of control using cluster management software.
The Intelligent Cluster offering, a high-performance scalable cluster, is built on:
- Intel Xeon™ processors
- AMD Opteron processor-based, rack-optimized, and blade-based servers
The Intelligent Cluster supports Microsoft HPC Server 2008, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 (64-bit) service pack 2, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2. All hardware components are configured and integrated into racks in the factory prior to shipment. You must obtain the prerequisite version of the Linux operating system and device drivers as specified by IBM .
- Either you or a qualified IBM Business Partner can install the required software.
- You can use the optional installation services to have IBM install the operating system, device drivers, and General Parallel File System ( GPFS ).
For intensive storage applications, IBM provides a service for all cluster hardware components and IBM software during the applicable warranty period. The IBM Intelligent Cluster warranty support does not include support for the software. Software service and support can be purchased separately through an optional IBM Support Line service.

New offerings for Intelligent Cluster portfolio
Switch descriptions
Note: A new switch description nomenclature is being introduced to help describe key information about the switch regarding airflow. PSE, oPSE, and SE are being added to the end of 1U switch descriptions.
- Port-side exhaust (PSE) airflow is typically installed in an enterprise rack such as the IBM 1410 rack family.
- Opposite port-side exhaust (oPSE) airflow is typically installed in an iDataPlex rack.
- Side exhaust (SE) is typically installed in an iDataPlex rack, but depending on the switch can also be installed in an Enterprise rack.
The suffixes do not necessarily determine rack support. Each switch is evaluated on its own merit for rack support.

Power and cooling advantages for IBM Intelligent Cluster
The IBM energy management portfolio tackles the challenge to increase power and thermal efficiency and help reduce costs on many levels. Inside the system, all System x and BladeCenter servers start with Calibrated Vectored Cooling™ technology. This feature allows dual paths of air to each component, helping to improve uptime and longevity, and reducing wasteful air movement and heat generation. It can be coupled with more energy-efficient power supplies.
For clusters within a rack, System x servers are designed to work at full density in a well-planned rack solution. They can also operate at extended temperature ranges to keep the system up and running, even in some cases in extreme temperature and many potential failure conditions. IBM rack-based cluster solutions are engineered to optimize air flow and prevent undesirable recirculation within the rack, so that servers can run in optimal temperature conditions.
IBM blade-based clusters enable you to pack more processors into the same power and cooling envelope, as well as better utilize floor space and right-size data center design. With BladeCenter servers, less power per processor means more processing capacity per kilowatt. The BladeCenter runs cooler to deliver greater reliability.
For dense data center environments, IBM delivers smart rack-level heat solutions, such as the super-efficient IBM Rear Door Heat eXchanger. The water-cooled door can dissipate heat generated from the back of the rack to reduce the overall room temperature. With this combination of benefits at the server and data center level, IBM systems can offer strong power and cooling benefits to IBM Intelligent Cluster clients.
IBM Rear Door Heat eXchanger (32R0712)
The Rear Door Heat eXchanger for IBM Enterprise Racks helps keep your growing data center at a safer temperature without adding air conditioning units. This unobtrusive solution brings more cooling capacity to areas where the heat is greatest, around racks of servers with multiple, more powerful processors.
Design simplicity delivers efficient cooling
The size and appearance of the Rear Door Heat eXchanger are similar to those of a standard rack acoustical 66 cm (26 in) wide door. It adds a mere 10 cm (4 in) to the depth of a rack, yet a single door may remove up to 50,000 Btu of heat (or approximately 15 kW). The door is designed to attach to a 42U-high IBM Enterprise Rack and swings wide to provide unrestricted access to electrical components. Sealed coils, filled with above-dewpoint, chilled water, passively remove a significant amount of the heat generated in a fully populated rack. This cooling efficiency may help eliminate the need for additional ac power and the associated construction cost.

iDataPlex systems management
The System x iDataPlex product family offers systems management support for large scale-out compute environments via standards-based, scriptable interfaces. This support starts with the embedded Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) baseboard management controller (BMC).
For rapid diagnosis of problems, iDataPlex supports IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) preboot diagnostics as well as online data collection for problem determination in supported Windows and Linux environments. Refer to the Dynamic System Analysis product documentation for additional detail on DSA features.
iDataPlex compute nodes support IBM Systems Director with limited function. Refer to IBM Systems Director product documentation for specific details on supported functions on iDataPlex hardware.
The compute nodes have been tested with the Extreme Cloud Administration Toolkit (xCAT), an open source community-based cluster administration tool set tailored to scale-out compute environments. You can download xCAT from SourceForge at
For additional information on xCAT, contact your IBM Sales and Support Team, or visit

This IBM system is available with an optional acoustical door feature that can help reduce the sound emitted from this system. The actual sound pressure levels in your installation depend upon a variety of factors, including the number of racks in the installation, the size, materials, and configuration of the room, the noise levels from other equipment, the room ambient temperature, and employees' location in relation to the equipment. Further, compliance with such government regulations also depends upon a variety of additional factors, including the duration of employees' exposure and whether employees wear hearing protection. IBM recommends that you consult with qualified experts in this field to determine whether you are in compliance with the applicable regulations.

Software requirements
Supported operating systems
GPFS Multiplatform and GPFS for POWER
GPFS is a high-performance cluster file system for AIX® , Linux , and mixed clusters that gives users shared access to files spanning multiple disk drives. By dividing individual files into blocks and reading/writing these blocks in parallel across multiple disks, GPFS enables very high bandwidth. In addition, multiple data paths can also help eliminate single points of failure, making GPFS highly available for mission-critical applications.
GPFS is based on a shared disk model, enabling lower overhead access to disks not directly attached to the application nodes. It uses a distributed protocol data coherence for access from any node. GPFS also incorporates a powerful ILM policy engine. This engine allows complex, policy-based placement and file-based migration (without path changes) between multiple tiers of storage, including tape, which can scale to billions of files and multiple petabytes of data. Additionally, GPFS includes hardware-neutral snapshots and mirroring functions, enabling users to better virtualize storage hardware.
GPFS is ideal for several different roles in clustered computing and shared storage:
- A multicluster file system for parallel processing on compute clusters, featuring extreme scalability and throughput optimized for streaming workloads such as those common in Web 2.0, digital media, scientific, and engineering applications.
- An information lifecycle management file system that enables multiple tiers of storage, including tape, with powerful policy-driven file placement, migration, archival, and deletion. The unique GPFS policy engine delivers file migration scalable to billions of files and multiple petabytes of data.
- A scalable, shared storage file system for storage consolidation and virtualization. This includes clustered NFS support and a scalable, shared namespace that enables horizontally scalable file serving. Additionally, GPFS includes many data and SAN management features, including storage hardware-neutral snapshots and mirroring.
- A high availability file system for any business application or database that can benefit from very rapid failover of a consistent application data environment.
- A distributed file system that offers a global, cross-platform, coherent namespace across an enterprise for around-the-world, around-the-clock operations.
GPFS delivers fast, reliable data access from all nodes in a homogeneous or heterogeneous cluster of servers running the Linux operating system. GPFS allows applications simultaneous access to a set of files (even a single file) from any node that has the GPFS file system mounted, while providing a high level of control over all file system operations. Additionally, GPFS offers extreme scaling across numerous metrics, including I/O performance, file or file system size, numbers of files, number of nodes, and execution of complex ILM policies.

Limitations
IBM Intelligent Cluster
- IBM Intelligent Cluster options are supported only when deployed in an IBM Intelligent Cluster solution. They will not be supported when installed outside a 1410 Rack.
- Use of the 1410-4RX or 1410-2RX Linux Cluster Rack outside of the IBM Intelligent Cluster offering is prohibited.
- When the heat exchange door is part of the IBM Intelligent Cluster Solution, IBM will attach the door to the rack. You are responsible for filling the heat exchange door with fluid and hooking up all plumbing connections. You are also responsible for draining the heat exchange door and disconnecting all plumbing connections prior to an IBM servicer's arrival on-site for replacement of the door assembly. After the servicer has replaced the heat exchange door assembly on the rack, it is your responsibility to refill the heat exchange door and reconnect all plumbing connections. All preventative maintenance on the rack is the sole responsibility of the client.
- Due to the weight of some switch chassis, the client may have to provide lifts for installation and repair if switches are installed in the upper portion of the rack.
- The LG-Ericsson ES-5048XG Switch (PSE) (4668-020 and -HC9) is only supported in the 1410 enterprise racks because of length of the switch.
- The IBM 0563-034 HVEC, 0563-HCU XCC FC A308 (Brocade MLXe 8) and IBM 0563-035 HVEC, 0563-HCV XCC FC A309 (Brocade MLXE 16) will not be supported in configurations in conjunction with the IBM Acoustic Door Kit for Enterprise Rack option (part number 40K9627 feature code 4852), the IBM Rear Door Heat eXchanger Option (part number 32R0712 feature code 4392), and the IBM Dynamic Rack and Rear Door Heat eXchanger V2 1756-42X HVEC, 1756-HC1 XCC (feature code A2FP). This is due to air pressurization that occurs in the rack rear as a result of the added impendence of acoustic and cooling doors. This pressurization could result in hot air recirculation though the rack cold aisle opening created by the switch port location on the rack front cold aisle side.
System x iDataPlex
- System x iDataPlex options are supported only when ordered and deployed in an iDataPlex solution. They will not be supported when ordered without a corresponding order for an iDataPlex Rack configuration.
- The 1410 Rack Management Appliance is supported only when deployed in an iDataPlex configuration and with iDataPlex-supported BOM content.
- Rear Door Heat eXchanger:
- The Rear Door Heat eXchanger is shipped separately from the iDataPlex rack for delivery and installation to the rack by an IBM authorized supplier.
- When the Rear Door Heat eXchanger is part of the iDataPlex solution, an IBM authorized supplier will attach the door to the rack. (Refer to the Rear Door Heat eXchanger service pamphlet shipped with Rear Door Heat eXchanger for warranty service information.) The client is responsible for filling the heat exchange door with fluid and hooking up all plumbing connections. The client is also responsible for draining the heat exchange door and disconnecting all plumbing connections prior to an IBM authorized supplier's arrival on site for replacement of the door assembly. After the servicer has replaced the heat exchange door assembly on the rack, it is the client's responsibility to refill the heat exchange door and reconnect all plumbing connections. All preventative maintenance on the rack is the sole responsibility of the client.
- Use of the iDataPlex Rack outside of the iDataPlex offering is not supported.
- The Cisco 4948E Switch (oPSE) (4670-050 and -HD1) is supported only in iDataPlex due to airflow.
- Components not specifically released and announced for the Intelligent Cluster may not receive full support.
Note: Regarding the use of SSD drives, solid-state memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of write cycles each cell can incur. As a result, each solid-state device has a maximum amount of write cycles it can be subjected to, documented as total bytes written (TBD). IBM is not responsible for replacement of hardware that has reached the maximum guaranteed number of write cycles. This limit may be revealed as the device failing to respond to system-generated commands or becoming incapable of being written to. Additional information is available at

| IBM Electronic Services |
|
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.
