A keyboard, mouse, graphics adapter, and monitor are available as options.

IBM p5 550 Value Paks

Value Paks are only available as Initial Order.

If you order a model 550 with the 2-way processor (#5237) and a minimum configuration of memory and disks, you will qualify for a processor activation at no additional charge. The number of processors, total memory, and quantity/size of disk are the only features that determine if a customer is entitled to processor activations at no additional charge. You will also be entitled to a discounted AIX operating system license or may choose to purchase the system with no operating system. The discounted AIX operating system license is processed via a feature number on AIX.

All Value Paks consist of a standard configuration that must be part of the order. Customers can deselect the defaults in the Value Paks, but they will then not be entitled to the activations at no additional charge.

The minimum criteria for processor activations at no additional charge are 2 GB of memory per active processor and two 73.4 GB hard disk drives.

You may make upgrades to the standard features as needed and still qualify for processor activations at no additional charge, and a discounted AIX operating system license. Deselection of the Value Pak defaults will disqualify the order as a Value Pak.

Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS)

Reliability, fault tolerance, and data integrity: The reliability of the model 550 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 to help ensure highest product quality level.

The model 550 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.

Indicates that this RAS function is not supported under Linux.

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 system-test (BIST) at power-on time.

L3 cache redundancy is implemented at the cache line granularity level. Exceeding correctable error thresholds while running causes invocation of a dynamic L3 cache line delete function.

Indicates that this RAS function is only available for a Linux operating system running the 2.6 kernel.

Service Processor: The Service Processor included in the model 550 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

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

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 result will be stored in 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 unit) 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

Serviceability: The model 550 is designed for customer setup of the machine and for subsequent addition of most features (adapters/devices)4. For a fee, IBM Service can perform the installation.

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:

Online Customer Support (OCS)1: OCS for hardware problem reporting may be performed via remote login by eServer specialists using normal AIX facilities. The Service Agent software can also be used for this capability.

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 IBM eServer 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 IBM 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 IBM eServer and 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 beyond the traditional perimeter 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 IBM eServer and pSeries POWER5, POWER4+, and POWER4 server with AIX 5L V5.2 is available with preinstalled Tivoli security-ready client and agent software.

To use each Tivoli security-ready client or agent, acquisition of the following corresponding server-based Tivoli security management product offering is required.

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:

Complementary (Security) Offering IBM Tivoli Directory Server

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:

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.

Linux support

Information on features and external devices supported by Linux on the model 550 can be found at

For certain external machine types supported on the model 550, 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 V3, the external machine types cannot be ordered unless the system will be running a different operating system on the model 550 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 550 is used with Linux only.

Dynamic logical partitioning

The new dynamic logical partitioning (LPAR) function provides enhanced resource management for the p5-550 server. 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 newly activated CUoD processors or new hot-plug PCI adapters into your system's configuration without requiring a reboot. As many as four LPARs are supported in a 4-way model 550 without the Advanced POWER Virtualization feature (#7941). 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 p5-550. 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:

Dynamic LPAR is not supported by Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS for POWER V3.

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 IBM eServer.

The HMC is not required for a partition to run, but is required for a p5-550 system to create, define, and change the partition.

Capacity on Demand (CoD)

CoD adds operational and configuration flexibility for pSeries systems. Available for a fee, CoD allows additional processors to be added as they are needed. Processors can be brought online to meet increasing workload demands. If the system is configured for dynamic LPAR (DLPAR), this can be accomplished without impacting operations. This feature has significant value for users who want to upgrade without disruption, enhance their system RAS (reliability, availability, serviceability) characteristics, or simply grow with a finer level of granularity. The CoD features allow a system to be manufactured (or upgraded in your locale) with inactive processors. The hardware is delivered with the processors built in, ready to be activated when needed. It can be turned on by ordering the type of activation desired, at which time the user is provided an activation code to enable the processors.

An additional benefit of the CoD offering is dynamic processor sparing. For environments with CoD, dynamic processor sparing allows inactive processors to act as dynamic spares. An inactive processor is activated if a failing processor reaches a predetermined error threshold, thus helping to maintain performance and improve system availability. Starting with AIX 5L V5.2, this capability is offered on pSeries servers with CoD to help minimize the impact to server performance caused by a failed processor. Dynamic processor sparing will happen dynamically and automatically when using DLPAR and the failing processor is detected prior to failure. If a failure is not detected, DLPAR is not being used; a reboot of the system or partition activates an alternate processor from the inactive spares. The user can then reestablish required performance levels without waiting for parts to arrive on-site. Dynamic processor sparing does not require the purchase of an activation code; it requires only that the system have inactive CoD.

Types of CoD

After a system with the CoD features is delivered, they can be activated in the following ways:

Permanent CUoD

The CUoD (#7941) for processors on the p5-550 allows you to have inactive processors installed in your system that can be easily activated as your business needs require. You must install 2-way processors and activate at least two processors. When you need additional processing power, you simply order activation features that increase the number of active processors in your system in increments of one. Feature number 7871 (minimum of 2, maximum of 4) is ordered as needed to activate processors. CUoD for processors on the model 550 is implemented via a keyed approach. When an activation order is received, you will receive an encrypted key, which enables the system's machine code to activate the processors.

The Capacity Upgrade on Demand is supported by the following levels of the AIX and Linux operating systems:

CUoD is not supported by Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS for POWER V3.

An IBM 7310-CR2 Rack-Mounted HMC or 7310-C03 Desktop HMC is required to manage POWER5 processor-based servers implementing CoD. Multiple POWER5 processor-based servers can be supported by an HMC, located locally or remotely attached to the IBM eServer.

On/Off CoD

On/off CoD (#7930 and #7931) enables users to temporarily activate processors and memory. This offering provides a system manager an interface to manage the activation and deactivation of resources. A monitor that resides on the server logs the usage activity and periodically reports this information back to IBM. A usage bill is then generated based on the selected quantity and duration of processor and memory resources. Billing increments are in processor day and memory (1 GB) days.

Reserve CoD

Reserve CoD (#7934) represents an "autonomic" way to activate temporary capacity. Reserve CoD enables the user to place a quantity of inactive processors into the server's Shared Processor Pool, which then become available to the pool's resource manager. When the server recognizes the number of base (purchased/active) processors assigned across uncapped partitions have been 100% utilized, and at least 10% of an additional processor is needed, then a processor day (good for a 24-hour period) is charged against the Reserve CoD account balance. Another processor day will be charged for each additional processor put into use based on the 10% utilization rule. After a 24-hour period elapses and there is no longer a need for the additional performance, no processor days will be charged until the next performance spike.

Trial CoD

Trial CoD (Trial CoD) is a function delivered with all pSeries servers supporting CoD. Those servers with inactive CUoD processors or memory will be capable of using a one-time, no-cost activation for a maximum period of 30 consecutive days. This enhancement allows for benchmarking of CoD resources or can be used to provide immediate access to inactive resources when the purchase is pending.

Advanced POWER Virtualization

Advanced POWER Virtualization (#7941) 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 optional feature, available for a fee, also includes a software component that provides cross-partition workload management. Advanced POWER Virtualization combines three components:

At initial order entry, selecting feature number 7941 will result in micro-partitioning being enabled during manufacture and the enabling software media and publications being shipped to the customer. When ordering feature number 7941 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 Advanced POWER Virtualization:

Advanced POWER Virtualization is supported by the following levels of the AIX and Linux operating systems:

CRU service

IBM provides replacement CRUs to you for you to install. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped with your machine and are available from IBM at any time on your request. CRUs are designated as being either a Tier 1 or a Tier 2 CRU. Installation of Tier 1 CRUs is your responsibility. If IBM installs a Tier 1 CRU, at your request, you will be charged for the installation. You may install a Tier 2 CRU yourself or request IBM to install it, at no additional charge, under the following type of warranty service specified. Tier 1 CRUs are specified in the following section. IBM specifies, in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU, whether a defective CRU must be returned to IBM. When return is required:

IBM Electronic Services

IBM Global Services has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to put you on the road to higher systems availability. IBM Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that provides you with an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support on the IBM eServer. You should benefit from greater system availability due to faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. IBM Electronic Services is comprised of two separate but complementary elements: IBM Electronic Services news page and IBM Electronic Service Agent™.

IBM Electronic Services news page provides you with a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used by customers to access IBM Internet services and support. By using the news page, it enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.

The IBM Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that resides on your IBM eServer system that is designed to proactively monitor events and transmit system inventory information to IBM on a periodic customer-defined timetable. The IBM Electronic Service Agent tracks system inventory, hardware error logs, and performance information. If the server is under a current IBM maintenance service agreement or within the IBM warranty period, the Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to provide proactive service that maintains higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent will be made available to IBM service support representatives when they are helping answer your questions or diagnosing problems.
