8 O que é PowerVM? Hardware e software que entrega virtualização líder de indústria em servidores baseados em processadores IBM POWER para clientes UNIX, Linux e i Características de PowerVM : Tecnologia de Micro-particionamento e shared processor LPARs Virtual I/O Server NPIV Virtual Tape Shared Dedicated Capacity Shared Processor Pools Shared Storage Pools Thin Provisioning Active Memory Sharing Active Memory Deduplication Live Partition Mobility {DESCRIPTION} Slide Title: What is PowerVM? Subtitle: Hardware and software that delivers industry leading virtualization on IBM POWER processor-based servers for UNIX Linux and I customers. The operating systems logos are on the left side. A bullet list is in the center of the visual and the PowerVM logo is on the right.{TRANSCRIPT} PowerVM is the relatively new name for IBM's virtualisation offerings for Power Systems. The graphic shows that this virtualisation is available over all three supported operating systems. This is further reflected in the PowerVM logo. It says PowerVM editions and we'll talk about what that means next. It then lists a number of capabilities some of which have been introduced already and some which might need some explanation. Live Partition Mobility allows clients to move complete partitions including their running applications, from one hardware server or frame in IBM speak to another. This takes flexibility to new levels. Imagine being able to take a running workload that is showing signs of reaching the limits of the available resources in its server and move it to a different server with more resources. Think of it in terms of managing scheduled down time. Being able to move LPARs away from a server either permanently or temporarily to a new home while repairs or upgrades are occurring. This doesn't mean that Live Partition Mobility replaces High Availability clusters. The role of Live Partition Mobility is in the planned events rather than the unplanned ones that HA is so good at handling. Shared Dedicated Capacity sounds like a contradiction in terms but is actually a useful enhancement to LPARs. Some workloads need a guaranteed amount of processor resources and they have dedicated resources. But it may be the case that at times those LPARs have spare processor resources while the LPARs competing for resources in the shared processor pool are running short. Under these conditions the dedicated LPAR resources can be shared temporarily within the pool. Until recently all LPARs which competed for resources were in a single shared processor pool. Unfortunately some software licensing took the view that, for licensing purposes an application running in a shared processor LPAR should be seen to have the maximum number of processors in the pool. So an LPAR which required an average of 8 processors but occasionally peaks of 12 and was in a system-wide pool of 32 processors would be licensed as if it were a standalone system with 32 processors. Multiple shared pools allow for better arrangements of workloads to maintain the benefits of flexibility and efficiency while getting the best deal in terms of software license fees. Lx86 is a means by which clients who need to run Linux binaries from an Intel platform (x86) can do so and yet get the benefits of running on Power architecture. The idea is to run the binary in a special environment on a Power System. The Virtual I/O Server or VIOS provides virtualised physical disk and network resources to client LPARs. More detail about enhancements to the VIO server capabilities are covered in the software unit. The Integrated Virtualisation Manager was introduced back in It allows clients to manage LPAR environments without a Hardware Management Console (HMC). The HMC is, like it sounds an extra piece of hardware through which the system administrators can communicate with the hypervisor via a graphical interface. One HMC can support the requirements of many physical systems and even more partitions but think of the client who only has one small server, or who has multiple sites each with one small server. For them the extra cost and footprint of an HMC can be an obstacle. IVM gives them an option for HMC-less creation and management of LPARs. Micro-partitioning is the ability to divide processor resources smaller than one whole one and distribute the result among partitions. Shared processor LPARs is any LPAR where the processors are drawn from a pool of resources which are shared with other partitions. Shared processor LPARs compete for resources in the pool and can be capped, that is they draw up to a point and then no more, or uncapped, they keep drawing as the demand increases to a maximum value determined when the LPAR was created or until resources are consumed. With multiple shared LPARs competing in a single pool it becomes necessary to prioritise the access so that those LPARs which are more critical to business success have more likelihood of getting what they need. This is done by assigning a priority value to uncapped partitions which allows the sharing of resources to be done on a rational but not necessarily equal basis.

Reduz custos de infraestrutura de TI Consolidados diversos workloads salva os custos operacionais Melhoria no nível de serviço Recursos virtualizados podem ser aplicados dinamicamente para workloads quando necessário Gerenciamento de Risco Flexibilidade sem rivais habilita resposta rápida para mudanças de negócio, minimiza riscos The value points are reducing costs – power, floor space, less islands of free resources that cannot be applied to workloads and pooling resources to apply to diverse workloads Improving service levels – using the valuable resources that exist on servers without having to move workloads around like VMware does, this allows many resources to be applied to the correct workload to accelerate the workloads and exceed the service levels. Manage Risk - the dynamic lpar facility and the superior scheduling of the PowerVM hypervisor provides flexibility to respond rapidly to change minimizing the risk of not being able to run the required workloads. As well Risk is a key function of superior security. Power system and PowerVM is very secure which eliminates risk of our outage and system corruption through hacking. New Functions. LPM Performance we have changed the fundamental way that LPM works to be more efficient on the network which can accelerate the performance of a single LPM session by up to 3X over previous editions and we have doubled the available data movers from 8 to 16. This allows clients to evacuate workloads from a machine or move to a less utilized machine faster. This requires FW7.6 which runs on the new p7+ machines and the 795. VIOS performance advisor this is a performance tool that collects data for a period of time and then analyzes the data to point out areas that can be improved. Basically a health check with some expert advise. The data is provided in an XML format which is displayed in a web browser. Enhanced Flexibility 20 cores per VM We want to be careful on how we position this. We want to talk about the flexibility that now with this functionality we support a minimum entitlement of 5% of a core which allows 20 VMs to be run on a core. This doesn’t mean that we want to encourage 20 VMs for core with very active workloads. This is meant for small VMs that do sporadic work. This requires FW7.6 which runs on the new p7+ machines and the 795. SSP RAS and Scaling Improvements – This includes support for 16 nodes in a SSP cluster and RAS features such as surviving failures in the cluster disks, support for IPV6 for internodal communications and improved storage utilization reporting.

16 Por que o AIX é a plataforma UNIX Premium hoje?
Excelente performance & escalabilidade Eficiência melhorada através da virtualização Inovação através do desenvolvimento integrado Forte, estável, roadmap não-disruptivo Let me summarize why AIX is the premier UNIX platform today. Our concurrent development of AIX with the POWER microprocessor, system hardware and firmware drives a level of innovation and performance that the competition simply can’t match. Solaris and HP-UX development and support are split across multiple platforms whereas we are highly focused with a premium offering. AIX and POWER deliver sheer performance in production environments that the competition cannot match. Our leadership across dozens of industry benchmarks validates this point. AIX with Advanced Power Virtualization delivers tremendous flexibility and drives workload consolidation for higher system utilization. Virtualization is clearly a strong trend in IT and AIX is very well positioned. Finally, a clear differentiator is our stable AIX roadmap. I’ll go through our roadmap in more detail in a few slides, but let me say that AIX has a predictable roadmap well into the next decade. We proactively communicate the timing of our releases and have established guidelines for lifecycle planning. This makes life much easier for customers, especially those who are wrestling with the uncertainty of Sun and HP roadmaps. Now, let’s talk about where AIX is going. Please turn to the next slide. Let me try and summarize why AIX is the premier UNIX platform today.

In POWER7 mode they will fully exploit the POWER capabilities, this requires etiehr AIX6.1 TL4 SP3 or later; or AIX7. In POWER6 and POWER6+ modes a subset of the POWER7 capabilities are available, for instance Live Partition Mobility to POWER6 systems. Some features of POWER7 such as per partition energy management are available in all modes. Others such as 4 thread SMT and Double-precision VSX require POWER7 mode. * Note: Because POWER7+ and POWER7 use the same Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), they are equivalent regarding partition mobility Power Systems Technical Support for AIX and Linux

21 Flexibilidade – Scale up e down (processors and memory) sem reboot
Quais são as características chave do AIX para valorizar os sistemas Power? Flexibilidade – Scale up e down (processors and memory) sem reboot Escalabilidade – Compravada escalabilidade de 1/20th core até 256 cores Performance – Décadas de liderança em benchmarks de indústria Gerenciamento – Ferramentas como SMIT e LVM simplificam o gerenciamento Disponibilidade – Centenas de características de software e hardware para evitar as quedas inesperadas Suporte ISV – Grande suporte de ISV incluindo parceiros como Oracle e SAP Proteção de Investimento – Compatibilidade binária e upgrade estável garantidos Segurança – Um dos mais seguros S.O. com forte registro de atividades Suporte de Storage– Amplo suporte incluindo softwares 3rd party de multipathing Exploração de IBM Software– Habilitação para Java, WebSphere e DB2 Virtual I/O – AIX é a base do Virtual I/O em Power Systems Exploração de Hardware – Utilização total das features de hardware do Power Suporte de Hardware – Habilitação de novos hardware, mesmo em AIX antigo Plataforma para Software Power– PowerHA, PowerSC, etc. Filesystem Maduro– Alta capacidade, alta performance, encriptação, grow/shrink Otimização de recursos – AME, ASO, DSO, Intelli-threads, DPO Flexibility – Scale up and down processors and memory without a reboot One of the key differentiators for AIX compared to other operating systems is the capability for AIX to dynamically add and remove I/O devices, processors, and even memory without requiring a reboot. This capability, which has been in AIX since 2002, allows AIX to flexibly adjust to changes in workload without requiring an interruption to add or free resources. Although Linux eventually provided the ability to add memory on the fly, it still cannot remove memory dynamically. This AIX capability allows full exploitation of PowerVM capabilities. Scalability – Proven capability for virtual machines from 1/20th core to 256 cores Vertical scalability that allows AIX to seamlessly scale from 1/20th of a core to 256 cores provides a unique capability of AIX to handle the smallest AND the largest workloads with ease and fully exploits the Power Systems hardware capabilities. No other operating system has this range of capability. Performance – Decades of industry leading benchmarks Raw performance is an area that AIX has long excelled at. AIX has largest number of top industry standard benchmarks and has been so successful, that competitors like Oracle have stopped publishing industry benchmarks because they can’t win against AIX and Power Manageability – Tools such as SMIT and LVM simplify management One of the key design points for AIX from the very beginning has been ease of management. Tools such as SMIT allow even inexperienced administrators to effectively manage AIX. Although SMIT was introduced with AIX version 3 in 1991, there is still no direct capability in any other OS. The Logical Volume Manager greatly simplified management of storage devices by allowing online changes of storage capacity without interruption. Availability – Hundreds of reliability features avoid software and hardware outages AIX has hundreds of reliability features such as Storage protection keys, Live Dump and cooperative enablement for Power hardware RAS features that have resulted in AIX and Power being at the top of the ITIC reliability report for the lowest unplanned downtime for a number of years. Management capabilities such as the ability to add and remove resources and reconfigure and tune AIX without requiring a reboot has made AIX the leader in avoiding PLANNED downtime as well. ISV Support – Broad ISV support including key players like Oracle and SAP AIX position as the UNIX market leader has resulted in the broadest range of ISV support for any UNIX today. Investment Protection – Binary Compatibility Guarantee and stable upgrade path AIX has a long history of providing binary compatibility between releases and even offers a guarantee of that compatibility. This support is so strong, that there are numerous examples of clients using programs that we compiled years earlier under very old releases of AIX. Security – Most secure operating system with strong track record AIX has a strong record of providing a secure environment for client’s data including Common Criteria certifications for many years and capabilities such as Role based access control and PowerSC to provide for secure management of AIX as well. Additionally AIX has a fraction of the security vulnerabilities reported to CERT – orders of magnitude less than Linux. Storage Support – Broad storage support including 3rd party multipathing software AIX has extremely broad support of different storage vendors including IBM, EMC, NetApp, Hitachi and even HP among others. This support extends to exploitation of multipathing software such as EMC PowerPath and Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager. Support that is not even available on Linux IBM Software Exploitation – Enablement for Java, WebSphere and DB2 Since Power7 AIX has enabled Power hardware exploitation for IBM software including WebSphere and DB2. Just last year we added shared class caching capability for Java running in WPARs that the IBM Java and WebSphere teams will exploit this year. Virtual I/O – AIX is the foundation for Virtual I/O on Power Systems The VIOS server is running a modified version of AIX today. Although there were once plans to move the VIOS server to Linux, the AIX reliability and flexibility were too big of an advantage to give up. Hardware Exploitation – Full exploitation of Power hardware features Only AIX exploits the full capabilities of Power hardware including scaling to 256 cores/1024 threads, Active Memory Expansion and Active Memory Sharing, compression/decompression and encryption accelerators. Hardware Support – Enablement for new hardware, even on old levels of AIX AIX has supported enablement and in some cases, exploitation of new hardware even on older levels of AIX. This support, introduced in 2010, is the primary way that our clients adopt new hardware. This capability simplifies client adoption of new hardware and avoids a significant obstacle to new hardware sales. Platform for Power Software – PowerHA, PowerSC, etc. built on AIX features AIX capabilities such as the AIX Profile Manager, AIX Monitoring Infrastructure and Cluster Aware AIX provide the underlying foundation for products such as AIX Dynamic System Optimizer, PowerSC and PowerHA Mature Filesystem – High capacity, high performance, encryption, grow/shrink AIX JFS2 filesystem (introduced in 2001) provides high performance and reliable data storage for our clients. Capabilities such as Direct I/O and Concurrent I/O provide clients with high performance and simplified management Software based resource optimization – AME, ASO, DSO, Intelli-threads, DPO AIX performance is built on numerous features that exploit Power hardware capabilities such as automatic exploitation of Simultaneous MultiThreading and large page sizes.

Quer gerenciar seu negócio e não um complexos servidores? Quer um Sistema que simplesmente continua rodando? Customer Value {DESCRIPTION} Slide Title: Power of i {TRANSCRIPT} When System p and System I became a unified platform called Power Systems they shared the same architecture with the same virtualization and RAS features. The operating systems were separately ordered as Editions and a mixed environment of I and AIX can be run in the same physical server. AIX clients however tend to be traditionally different than System I clients. For one thing most System I sales are to clients who already have System I. There are also cultural differences. There are stories about I systems being boarded up during remodeling and not found for years but continuing to run without failure for the whole time. Whether you believe these stories or not it does create a picture of clients who like system I because it doesn't require a lot of administration. Its the perfect operating system for people who just want to run their business. It also runs Windows. Power Systems Technical Support for AIX and Linux

31 IBM i – Não é somente um S.O., mas é muito mais que isso
Pq clientes valorizam o IBM i… Totalmente integrado Confiabilidade legendária Construído para os negócios Virtualizado por design Auto-gerenciamento Segurança compravada Our clients obtain measurable value from the operating system we call IBM i. But as you know (or as you will see), IBM i is not just an operating system, but much, much more. Clients routinely acknowledge and proclaim these reasons for favoring IBM i over alternatives like Windows, Unix or Linux... IBM i is more complete… more integrated than other operating systems. It contains most everything you need to support business applications so that when you get it, … it’s ready to run. The graphic illustrates just how comprehensive the environment is. These capabilities are included because the environment is “built for business” … it was designed for business computing … so the function that is necessary to support business critical applications is already incorporated … it’s not stuff that you have to add, as you would with Windows, Unix or Linux. One of the byproducts of integration is that the system “practically manages itself” … storage management is automated, so you don’t need to manage the placement of data, … many database administration tasks are fully automated, … the system will automatically balance system resources. ... Meanwhile, systems management and performance management tools are built-in and accessed with an intuitive, graphical interface. As you grow, the system is designed to grow with you … to scale up … allowing you to add applications and grow transaction volumes without adding additional servers … and therefore avoiding the growing pains that accompany the complexities of horizontal growth architectures and strategies. IBM i enjoys a reputation for reliability that is truly legendary … a reputation it has earned. The most common phrase quoted by clients that use the platform is,… “It just runs” Virtualization technology is also built into IBM i. … It’s incorporated in the work management architecture of the platform and is a key reason that the platform scales up so efficiently and utilizes resources to effectively. Similar to its reputation for reliability, the platform has also earned a reputation for security … for being a safe place to trust your information assets. This is also a function of its design … a design which provides natural defenses against viruses and other forms of malware. IBM i is also technology independent … you really don’t have to care about the hardware … as technology changes, your investment in business applications is preserved because, architecturally, the system is designed to assimilate changes in technology on your behalf. So clients value the platform because it is comprehensive in scope, efficient by any measure (e.g. resource utilization, scalability, operations, resilience) and remarkably cost-effective… especially as it pertains to business computing. We’ll be expanding on all of these platform advantages throughout the rest of the presentation. … If this doesn't describe your environment today, then it probably sounds too good to be true... Yet this is how customers the world over describe the platform... IBM i is firmly established, worldwide, as a leading platform for business computing… Let’s take a look. Permite o crescimento… sem crescer as dores Assimila tecnologia sem disrupção Compreensivo, eficiente e competitivo… otimizado para os negócios

Historically, a new release of IBM i was introduced every two years. However, this approach was viewed as being too disruptive to clients. Beginning with IBM i 7.1, the rollout strategy was fundamentally changed to introduce new function via Technology Refreshes, which can be individually evaluated with regard to the new function they provide and optionally installed. This allows IBM to introduce new function in a timely manner while offering clients a more flexible and less disruptive approach for implementing that function. Consequently, it also extends the time between full version releases of the operating system. The next full version of IBM i ... Version is expected to be announced sometime in 2014.

Low-cost, two-socket PowerLinux servers and Flex System nodes, based on high-performance POWER7+ processors and security-rich PowerVM virtualization technology, can be ideal for applications that favor a scale-out model—a distributed computing workload model with built-in redundancy and failover capabilities that is popular with Linux technology. Linux on Power can also efficiently scale up by adding additional resources to an existing system. Power Systems servers and PowerVM server virtualization are highly scalable and offer massive consolidation with up to 1,000 virtual machines per server. This can provide greater return on investment through dramatically reduced costs for server-related footprints, energy, cooling and staffing, in addition to efficiencies gained from the potential for much greater server utilization rates for virtualized Linux servers as compared to x86 servers. Whether enterprises need to deploy with a scale-out or scale-up architecture model, Linux on Power can provide the foundation for the delivery of Linux services faster, with higher quality and superior economics. 38 Power Systems Technical Support for AIX and Linux 38

46 Notes on Performance Estimates
rPerf for AIX rPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other IBM UNIX systems. It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads, TPC and SPEC benchmarks. The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way. The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU, cache and memory. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations. rPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement. Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics. The IBM eServer pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance, actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration. Note that the rPerf methodology used for the POWER6 systems is identical to that used for the POWER5 systems. Variations in incremental system performance may be observed in commercial workloads due to changes in the underlying system architecture. All performance estimates are provided "AS IS" and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM. Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks, and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying. For additional information about rPerf, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller. ======================================================================== CPW for IBM i Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is a relative measure of performance of processors running the IBM i operating system. Performance in customer environments may vary. The value is based on maximum configurations. More performance information is available in the Performance Capabilities Reference at: {DESCRIPTION} Notes on Performance Estimates {TRANSCRIPT} And finally, this slide provides a description of the “relative performance” metrics used internally by IBM to illustrate improvements in price/performance as we introduce new generations of hardware and software technologies. Once again… while these slides look like a lot of fine print… they are provided to protect you and IBM as you go about the business of selling. Be sure to include them as directed by the usage guidance. Now let’s continue with the objectives for this course.
