Power Enterprise Pool – HMC

Master HMC knows • which servers are in the pool• how many mobile activations are in

the pool and where they are assigned• each server’s static resources

Pool’s HMC holds the key

• HMC needs V7.8 or later and needs at least 2GB memory• Older HMC not supported: 7042-CR4, 7310-CR3/CR4/C05/C06, 7042-C06/C07, 7315-CR3

• Max 1000 partitions managed • Can manage more than one Power Enterprise Pool• If Pool’s master HMC down,

• Running servers not impacted unless resource needs to be moved• Master HMC needed for assigning mobile resource when server

powering on or restarting• A second, redundant HMC for the pool optional


Power Enterprise Pool – More on Activations

• Each server must have some static processor core activations.• All systems must be ordered with at least 50% of the memory active. A max of 75% of

the memory activations can be mobile.

• Mobile activations ordered against a specific E870, E880, 770, 780, 795– But “kept” or “inventoried” in the pool’s HMC, not on that specific server– A server is unaware of mobile activations unless the HMC assigns the activation

to it– Static activations kept on the specific server

static mobile

• Software Tier• AIX = Medium IBM i = P30

• IBM i QRPCFEAT - same as processor SCM feat code

• Warranty 1year … same as Power 795


DVD Bay in System Control Unit

•AIX or Linux optionally uses DVD. IBM i requires a DVD on the servers somewhere … in system unit or in external I/O enclosure like 7226-1U3•If use optional system control unit DVD --- needs a PCIe USB adapter to be located either in CEC or PCIe3 IO Drawer (#EC45 or #EC46 PCIe2 4-port USB Adapter) Note: do not use a SAS adapter to control #EU13. Use a SAS adapter like #EJ0J/EJ0M to control a SATA DVD located in an external enclosure such as a 7226-1U3.

Optional DVD#EU13

USB Port cable connection to adapter

Rear of sys cntrl unit… has USB connector for cabling ease

Front of sys cntrl unit… hot pluggable, optional DVDDVD is SATA, but a USB-to-SATA converter included

1.6 meter USB cable #EBK4


System Control Unit Redundancy

One system control unit per server, HOWEVERDrawer is basically a holder of redundant system control unit elements

Redundant system clocks/oscillators Redundant service processorsRedundant power sources (up to four UPIC power cords and any one of the four is all

that is needed*)

Redundant HMC ports (two per service processor, four total)

Drawer also includes:One operator panel shared by the above redundant components – not

critical due to HMC One master VPD card – redundant copies of information on the card

One backplane and one midplane providing cross element connections – connections are passive, therefore incredibly unlikely to fail

One optional DVD (attached separately to nodes, alternate DVDs available in other drawers)

* except optional DVD needs at least two UPIC power cords connected for enough power


System Node PCIe slots

8 PCIe Gen3 x16 low profile

Eight Low profile (LP) adapter slots

Used for PCIe adapters (Gen1, Gen2 or Gen3 LP adapters)

Or used to connect to PCIe Gen3 I/O Expansion Drawer

Sample Rack Configurations9119-MME 9119-MHE


E870/880 Racking - “Only Enterprise 42U Rack”• Only the IBM Enterprise rack (7014-T42 or #0553) have

been tested/certified by IBM Development/Test with the E870/E880 as of Oct 2014. Therefore the 7014-T42 or #0553 is the only rack IBM Manufacturing uses with E870/E880 system nodes.

• If a different rack (IBM or nonIBM) is desired, work with IBM Service organization to confirm the rack has the needed strength, rigidity, hole spacing, clearances, etc. IBM Service does not require certification by IBM Development/Test to be able to provide service/warranty in other racks.


E870/E880 Racking and Cables• For best possible service access

– Do not use PDU side pockets. Mount PDUs horizontally.

Leaves more room for cable routing

Takes 1U space

Still can use a Left/Right power plugging philosophy, but less straightforward visibility

– Add 8-inch rack extender (#ERG0) to rear of 42U rack. Provides more room for cables.

Generally recommended, but not required

STRONGLY urged if there are a lot of I/O cables

– Strongly urge leaving 2U space open at top and/or bottom for cable egress


E870/E880 Lift Tool• Client needs a lift tool on site

– System node weighs 167 pound (75.7 kg). Without a lift tool would require 2 or more people to lift.

– #EB2Z feature orders a lift tool rated at 350 pounds (159 kg). It can be used on other equipment. It can be rolled over to what ever rack it is needed on.

– Get this lift tool – IBM Service organization only willing to use this tool – they have not certified alternative lift tools.

– Look for feature #EB2Z in eConfig to help ensure a lift tool onsite. Will be called out in TDA

– $5k tool Prices are USA list prices and subject to change. Reseller prices may vary.

Who uses NoSQL and What is it

• NoSQL = Not Only SQL– Not relational– Simple data models– Fast– Scalable– High Availability

• Types of NoSQLs– Key Value (redis, memcached)– Column Store (Cassandra, BigTable)– Document Store (mongoDB,

couchDB)– Graph (neo4j, titian)

• Who uses them– Twitter– Instagram– Pinterest– and many more…

87

Companies using NoSQLs in production


IBM Solution for Flash Optimized NoSQL - Power Systems Edition Significant Cost Savings for In-Memory NoSQL Data Stores

•The Market: Explosive growth of new mobile, social apps requiring lightening fast response at high volume

– Enabled by in-memory NoSQL, Key Value Stores like Redis

– Ordered (key, value) pairs provide type of in-memory, lightening fast distributed hash table

– Plays an important role in many large websites

GitHub, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter & more…

The Issue: x86 memory limited by max RAM• Scale-out x86 servers limited memory size • Results in costly, complex infrastructure

Need

• Students analyze business problems using structured and unstructured data and come to fact-based decisions.

• Existing x86 systems lacked the speed, reliability and capacity to run unstructured data queries

• Needed a system that was designed to put data to work to make better business decisions

Solution

• IBM Power 7R2 and S822L with Linux

• IBM InfoSphere BigInsights

• IBM Content Analytic Studio

Largest technical college in the Southeast brings insight to the point of impact with Linux on POWER8 systems designed for Big Data & Analytics

North Carolina State University

Results

• Over 37X faster indexing: went from 14 days down to 9 hours

• 3.5X less infrastructure: Went from 14 x86 servers to 4 POWER servers

• Expanding solution with POWER8 and FPGA acceleration: goal to process over 1PB of data in near-realtime

“We use both x86 and IBM Power Systems servers for processing big data. There is no doubt that the Power servers are far superior. The x86 servers crash so often that we chose not to use them with our clients.”
