Upgrade or Migrate?Recent vintage hardware more likely to be eligible for upgrade

Example: PCI I/O Tower devices to PCI -X I/O Tower

V5R2 not supported on older hardware - requires migration

Example: 4xx and 5xx processor family

Consider migration if:

Converting to new HSL PCI-X I/OServer Consolidation - partitioningShort maintenance windows for upgrades

Upgrades include upgrade to an Edition package

Interactive capacity requirements - know what you will need

Capacity on demand (permanent and/or temporary)

Solution Assurance may be required in many cases (e.g. pre-planning pre-sales i870, i890, moving to HSL, ...)

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Upgrade or Migrate?One of the decisive factors for selecting an upgrade (retain machine serial number) of an existing system or replacing the hardware will be based on the number of components that can be reused on the new system. Features, such as SPD towers, migration towers and SPD IOAs are not supported on the new hardware; other components, such as slower disk or tape drives, might be replaced since they are not delivering the performance or usability features one is looking for. Remember also that any 4xx and 5xx systems do not support V5R2, so a side-by-side migration will be required.

Another criteria that will decide whether or not to select a straightforward upgrade will be the maximum allowable downtime the service delivery can tolerate. Also, a simple box upgrade will take considerably less time than if you need, at the same time, change the RAID5 implementation by introducing the new RAID5 controllers, or have to replace all expansion towers with new expansion towers. Remember also that upgrading from an LPAR environment will take more time to bring up the system again, especially when adding or changing the configuration drastically.

This announcement introduces a line of products that greatly expand configurations able to accept consolidation and enable a very useful way to dynamically adjust server and partitioning resources (i.e. processors) than before; the enhanced support, offered by V5R2, for hosting Linux, Windows and UNIX applications allows using a single footprint for a variety of workloads. Combined with the excellent management tools provided by tools such as iSeries Navigator, an offering for a consolidated server becomes a very attractive proposition to deliver outstanding levels of service delivery.

With the new systems (i810, i825, i870, i890 (#2497/#2498), the notion of different interactive capacity cards has disappeared. This means that instead you need to validate whether or not the server can run with either 0 5250 OLTP capacity, such as offered by the Standard Edition, or with the full processor CPW 5250 OLTP capacity, as included in the Enterprise Edition.

Finally, the upgrade or migration choice for such a hardware change will be influenced by the budget. In some occasions, especially when the original system has older components, you also need to consider the recurring costs for manpower (e.g. the attended time needed for handling backup volumes will be shorter if the backup/restore medium is automated or faster than the new one), maintenance, floorspace, power and cooling to complete this picture.

Please also to the Planning chart later in this presentation for more details on the outline of an upgrade or migration process.

Note, the February System Handbook, GA19- 5486-23, contains detailed charts for older system processor feature to new system processor features and recommended I/O IOP, controller (IOA), and device replacement when not supported n the target server. We have much of this information in this presentation but it is not complete. Also, consider the February 2003 edition of the IBM eServer iSeries Migration and Upgrades at V5R1 and V5R2, SG25-6055-02 for more update and migration scenarios and considerations than can be covered in this presentation.

Notes: Server and I/O Tower Upgrades at a GlanceThis foil shows graphics from the Marketing Product Positioning presentation for server to server upgrades and disk I/O tower to disk I/O tower upgrades. The bold lines between an older and upgraded to / migrated to system indicates the primary "to system."

The disks and the PCI cards need to be accommodated in a 5074 or a 5094 based on their compatibility. Some of the expansion units can be converted to work with the new models. However detailed planning needs to be done before beginning the expansion unit conversion if you are upgrading a partitioned server.

Review other documentation on hardware migration detail. For example, the following current I/O tower disk drives can be moved:7.2K rpm #4308 (4 GB)7.2K rpm #4314 (8.5 GB)7.2K rpm #4324 (17.5 GB)All 10K rpm disks

iSeries has spent extensive hours testing upgrade and migration testing of upgrades to minimize the impact to "hours of operation" required to run a business. Note that many other vendors do not yet have the extensive capacities to support upgrades the way the iSeries does.

Upgrades are defined as moving to the new server from an existing server and retaining the existing system's serial number. Migration is used to mean actually "moving" current hardware to the new system, independent of retaining the serial number.

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: our flexible friend - iSeries upgradesThe key points regarding upgrades to the new i810, i825, i870, i890 are:

Easy to Upgrade in iSeriesUpgrades throughout the product rangeMany simple tasks can create a complex environment

First we will discuss 8xx to 8xx upgrade. This from existing 8xx models to new models available with this announcement. Typically these are simple plug and go upgrades, meaning that provided the prerequisite active has occurred, we should be able to disconnect the existing system and reconnect the new system.

The process for this upgrade is as follows:The preliminary upgrade tasks have been carried outWe can roll-in the new upgrade. Unpack the system and any additional I/O hardware..The existing system is powered down, and any disk and I/O are removed from the system unitThe I/O is relocated into the new system unit and the external I/O is reattached. The system is then IPL'ed to DST. Any resource issues are fixed and the system is brought online. This is a very simplified version of what really happens.If the customer does not want to physically move their disks and I/O. Then you could choose to use a new or existing tower as a 'migration tower'. Moving all user data and the load source from the system unit to an expansion tower. Similar to the SPD migration tower.

The other key upgrade is from 7xx to new 8xx. There are two types of this upgrade available. From 7xx to existing 820, 830, 840 and from 7xx to i810, i825, i870 and i890. We will not cover the former method here, but we will later. If you are planning to move from 7xx to servers available with this announcement and the 890 you cannot have any SPD based hardware or migration towers on the system. They must be removed before or as part of the upgrade. To save time during the upgrade you could plan to move the existing I/O and data to an SPD/PCI tower (5065/5066). Again this could be used as a migration tower. The load source and user data are migrated from the existing SPD hardware and the system unit into the SPD/PCI tower. This tower is then converted as part of the upgrade and attached to the new system. The load source is recovered and new I/O added and the system could be up and running.

To perform successful upgrades you must do preparation. You must load the new release and test. You should also Plan, Plan..... Especially for HSL and any new IOPs, IOAs, etc.. This is important for the preservation of existing RAID sets if moving disks.

Existing 890s (0197/0198 base, 2487/2488 standard) available until May 2003

Model 870 (i870)

Same as 890 with less in it ......has #0126 reduction feature (same as i890)

Model 825 (i825)

5 disks per Expansion tray Note for upgrade from Model 820 has 6 per tray

Model 810 (i810)

HSL not HSL-2Model 800 (iSeries 800)

Upgrade from 800 (300) to 800 (950 CPW) Do not get additional Twinax, memory and diskWebSphere express not required

HSL not HSL-2

Model considerations

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Model considerationsThis foil summarizes the new models - from an upgrade viewpoint.

The existing feature code Model 890s will be available until 2Q03. These model will retain the existing Permanent Capacity Upgrade on Demand capabilities - up to 14 days of temporary activation and permanent processor upgrade - by number of processors. There is no "number of processor days" temporary activation as there is on the new January 2003 models..

The new Model 870 is basically the same as 890, but with less processors and associated hardware inside. The Model 870 has the #0126 reduction feature available, this is the same as the current and new Model 890 height reduction feature.

The Model 825 offers 5 disks per Expansion tray with a a total of 15 disks in the base system unit. The can give a potential problems to upgrades from Model 820. The model 820 has 6 disks per disk can, making a total possible of 18 disks. This can cause the following potential upgrade issues. If we were to upgrade a Model 820 with 6 disks and there was no plan to increase the base. The order would contain an extra 5108 feature solely for one disk unit. If the customer has ordered additional expansion towers there may be alternatives to the 5108. If the disks in the expansion were the same size as the Model 820 the 6th disk could possibly be relocated there (provided it could be removed from the system unit before the upgrade). If the disk is a different size the customer might wish to remove the disk and leave it out of the new configuration.

If you understand the current 270 model structure the Model 810 is very similar. It does not have HSL-2 ports, the ports are HSL. This means the cables from a Model 270 will be supported. The model 810 does support a mixture of PCI and PCI-X expansion towers. So there could still be the need for HSL to HSL-2 conversion cables.

The Model 800 (typically referred to as the iSeries 800) is the "baby" of the new servers. But it is a "big baby" as it is 15 times as powerful as the older B70 and could fit in one 9332 disk draw !!! When upgrading the model 800 within its range from the Value to Enterprise, you do not get all the features you would if you had brought the Enterprise Edition in the first place. You will not get the Twinax card and the additional memory and disk. WebSphere express is also not required. Again as with the Model 810, the Model 800 is HSL not HSL-2.

Buy Enterprise Edition upfront - less expensive than upgradeNo IXS on Standard to Enterprise upgrade

Must load V5R2 (Feb 2003 level) and PTFs to support new hardware before upgrade

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: General server considerationsThis chart out lines the considerations that can apply across the whole server range.

Key Points:HSL and the need for planningNeed to examine current application environment - Standard (limited 5250 OLTP CPW) or Enterprise (full 5250 OLTP CPW and suite of software products) before making a decision. The term "5250 OLTP" (On Line Transaction Processing) is being introduced to distinguish applications doing 5250 I/O operations from the more generic term - "interactive" used in the past. The Performance presentation contains more details on this subject, and the System Handbook does as well.

You should be loading V5R2 (Feb 2003 level) whether you are upgrading or not. However, when upgrading, you need to ensure you have the right level of V5R2 software to run the new hardware. We discuss this later in the personation.

In general the HSL rule are not complex, provided you do read them! We have made it very easy to move I/O from existing HSL based system to the new models by employing a HSL to HSL-2 conversion cable. This cable can be used both ways round. From an existing model to a new tower or from an existing tower to a new model.

With the new #2757 PCI-X Disk Controller comes a new implementation of RAID-5. When you move you RAID sets from an existing adapter to a new RAID adapter. The existing RAID structure will be removed and the new structure will be created.

The new I/O structure and the new 70 GB 15K RPM drives offer 35GB 15K RPM performance with twice the capacity. There is more information about this in the Technical Overview Performance presentation.

We suggest that the customers think about the Edition they are buying. It may be less expensive to buy the Standard Edition, but if you find you need to upgrade to Enterprise later, this is more expensive than the initial Enterprise Edition.

There may be features not available with the Edition upgrade. For example, there is no IXS on a Standard to Enterprise Edition upgrade on the iSeries 800, i810, but the i825, i870, i890 Enterprise Edition does include one 1.6 GHz IXS with 1 GB of memory.

As the newly announce products and features all require V5R2 (Feb 2003 level) we suggest customer get this new code and start test an implementation now rather than just before any potential upgrade.

A foil later in this presentation describes how to get the correct V5R2 software updates when upgrading to a new server or adding the new I/O to an existing 270, 820, 830, 840, and 890.

Also. after the information on system to system upgrades, the topics of I/O feature migration and HSL versus HSL-2 are covered.

Basic Question: Doing any 5250 OLTP work?If you plan on doing "zero" 5250 OLTP work, select Standard Edition

Limited single 5250 Administrative job supportedMultiple 5250 jobs will quickly exceed this capacity

If you plan on doing any "multiple jobs" 5250 OLTP work, select Enterprise EditionPlan ahead. Starting with Standard Edition and later upgrading to Enterprise Edition will be significant additional cost

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Basic Question: Doing any 5250 OLTP work?The term 5250 OLTP is introduced with the January 2003 announcements. This describes the same work that has been included in the term "interactive" in previous releases. It simply means are you doing 'production work" with jobs doing 5250 display or printer I/O operations.

On the i810, i825, i870, and i890 systems the Standard Edition essentially is the same as the previous 270, 820, 830, 840, and 890 BASE feature systems. That is, the base system and the Standard Edition will permit a single 5250 job to take a reasonable amount of TOTAL SYSTEM CPU UTILIZATION for administrative purposes. However, if multiple 5250 I/O jobs are active they are quickly prohibited from consuming very much CPU utilization.

If you are on an Enterprise Edition, you simply manage 5250 work along with other work as you did/do on systems where the Interactive CPW rating was/is equivalent to the Processor CPW rating - job priorities with the RUNPTY job parameter.

The following snapshot of all system processor CPW-based upgrade/migration features shown only include target systems when 5250 OLTP work is being done - the Enterprise Edition.

Upgrade: i270 to i810 (assuming 5250 OLTP)

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Upgrade: i270 to i810 (assuming 5250 OLTP)In this and the following supported sets of system to system migration tables we only show the cases where 5250 OLTP applications will be run on the target system. Therefore, until further notification, only Enterprise Editions are listed.

If 5250 OLTP work is not planned, then the target could be a supported Standard Edition package - except:for this 270 to 810 upgrade which requires a 270 with Interactive feature #1520 to upgrade only to an 810 with the Enterprise Edition package which has full 5250 capacityany exception noted in IBM eServer iSeries Supported Upgrades, REDP0322, planned availability February 24, 2003

Notes: Upgrade Details: i270 to i810The i270 is the only product in the existing product range, with the exception of the i890, that allows an upgrade where parts are replaced, making it an attractive box for upgrades. Remember also that such an upgrade of an i270 to an i810 lifts the limitation of DASD space for this type of footprints - but does require enablement of 5250 CPW capacity.

When you are considering an upgrade of an i270 to an i810, you might want to take advantage of other significant technology changes at the same moment, such as the introduction of new disk controllers (the #2757) and/or new disk units, running at higher rotational speeds, to lift a possibly existing bottleneck of I/O throughput. Such an upgrade can easily be achieved on i270 upgrades.

If you are upgrading an existing i270 to an i810, and the base system has up to 6 disk units connected to a #9767 disk controller and uses mirrored protection, you need to replace this disk controller, since it is not supported on the i810. For that purpose, you may choose a #5705 disk controller if you want to maintain this level of protection on the disk units. If your upgrade plan includes to add disk units and to replace mirrored protection with RAID protection, you can order either a #2757, a #2782, or a #4778 as a replacement for the returned #9767. During your migration process and once you have replaced the #9767 with one of the controllers from the above list , you will have to stop mirroring, start RAID5 protection, add the disks which made up the mirrored pair to the system - eventually together with the addition of any newly ordered disks -, and finally balance the disks for capacity. Remember that an i270 supports, besides the #9767, only the #2763, #4748 and #4778 disk controllers, so if you are planning to install one of the newly announced disk controllers, you will have to wait to perform this procedure after the upgrade to the i810 target configuration.

The BasicsMigration or Upgrade process always consists of:

Requirements gatheringSolution design and validationComponents (hardware, software, services) selection

Solution implementation

Several iterations possible - each activity has multiple sub-activities

Planning of each activity is key

IBM eServer iSeries


There is no major difference between planning for migration or upgrade of existing servers, as compared to with previous releases. There are however some issues which will need special care, such as the replacement or migration of the load source, since a customer might be interested in replacing the current I/O subsystems in his server at the same time. Also, the January 2003 Power4 systems do not support SPD I/O attachment, not even migration towers.

As always, the major requirement is to clearly understand and document the customer requirements and/or expectations, both from an operational and procedural way. In this phase, you will typically define what service delivery levels the customer wants to achieve with the new server, and how the migration or upgrade will be performed. This is a step in which all of the information will be collected, pertaining to throughput, response times, availability of the system, current footprint configuration, operational procedures and quantified and qualified expectations of the customer.

Once this task is completed, a first design of the solution can be made, where no specific component is being selected, to validate the proposal with the customer. This step can lead into an iteration or specification of customer requirements, to refine the solution design.

After the completion of the solution design the component can be defined, consisting of configurations, performance and throughput predictions, service engagements, procedures to be followed, timings, etc.

See also APAR II3440, on the required level of PTFs for upgrading the V5R2 code to the correct level for support of the new hardware:

Software Requirements for Model 800, 810, 825, 870, and certain 890 models

If your newly shipped server from IBM is one of the models listed above, the correct level of software is shipped with your server. Proceed to section Requirements to support the new terms and conditions of OS/400 licensing to validate licensing information on your new server.

If you are planning to upgrade your existing server to one of these new servers, you must have both requirement below:resave level B (RSB on the label) or later for V5R2 andPTF cumulative package xxxx or later for V5R2

This level of code must be on each partition of your existing server you are upgrading.

General server considerationsGeneral

HSL- HSL-2 cables (conversion)RAID to RAID35 GB vs. 70 GB drives

Buy enterprise upfront - less expensive than upgradeNo IXS on Standard to Enterprise

Must load V5R2 (Feb 2003 level) and PTFs to support new hardware before upgrade

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: General server considerationsThis chart out lines the considerations that can apply across the whole server range. Key Points:

HSL and the need for planningNeed to examine current application environment - Standard (limited 5250 OLTP CPW) or Enterprise (full 5250 OLTP CPW and suite of software products) before making a decision. The term "5250 OLTP" (On Line Transaction Processing) is being introduced to distinguish applications doing 5250 I/O operations from the more generic term - "interactive" used in the past. The Performance presentation contains more details on this subject, and the System Handbook does as well.

You should be loading V5R2 (Feb 2003 level) whether you are upgrading or not. However, when upgrading, you need to ensure you have the right level of V5R2 software to run the new hardware. We discuss this later in the personation.

In general the HSL rules are not complex, provided you do read them! We have made it very easy to move I/O from existing HSL based system to the new models by employing a HSL to HSL-2 conversion cable. This cable can be used both ways round. From an existing model to a new tower or from an existing tower to a new model.

With the new #2757 PCI-X Disk Controller comes a new implementation of RAID-5. When you move you RAID sets from an existing adapter to a new RAID adapter. The existing RAID structure will be removed and the new structure will be created.

The new I/O structure and the new 70 GB 15K RPM drives offer 35 GB 15K RPM performance with twice the capacity. There is more information about this in the Technical Overview Performance presentation.

Important notes:We suggest that the customers think about the Edition they are buying. It may be less expensive to buy the Standard Edition, but if you find you need to upgrade to Enterprise later, this is more expensive than the initial Enterprise Edition price.There may be features not included with the Edition upgrade. For example, there is no IXS on a Standard to Enterprise Edition upgrade. When purchased new, the i825, i870, i890 Enterprise Edition does include one 1.6 GHz IXS with 1 GB of memory.

As the newly announce products and features all require V5R2 (Feb 2003 level) we suggest customer get this new code and start test an implementation now rather than just before any potential upgrade.

A following foil describes how to get the correct V5R2 software updates when upgrading to a new server or adding the new I/O to an existing 820, 830, 840, and 890.

The next foil discusses Load Source Migration considerations - a very important topic when upgrading or migrating!

Load Source Upgrade Flowchart

IBM eServer iSeries


When you are upgrading an existing 8xx server, you need to consider how you will implement the load source unit. Here are some of the possibilities and procedures on how to handle different types of load source migration scenario's:

The load source unit, together with the disks that form its protection scheme (mirroring or RAID5) are removed from the current, or source, system unit and transferred into the new, or target, system, using the same disk adapter from the source system unit.This is by far the easiest way to migrate, since both the disk controller and its disk units will be transferred to the new system. The only exception is for the i270 to i810 upgrade where the i270 has a# 9767 base disk controller, since it is sent back to IBM after the upgrade. In this case, a new disk controller needs to be ordered on the i810, such as the #5705.In any of these cases, you have to make sure that there are enough free disk slots in the target system to house the same amount of disks from the source system in order to preserve the protection setup the source system was using (RAID5 arrays or mirrored sets).The load source unit, together with the disks that form its protection scheme (mirroring or RAID5) are removed from the current, or source, system unit and transferred into the new, or target, system, using new disk adapter technology that is acquired with the upgrade.When using RAID5 protection, the new disk adapter, such as the 2757, will, at IPL time, rearrange the parity distribution on the existing disks, according to the new algorithms used by these controllers. This requires a longer IPL time than would be needed otherwise.There will be a new load source unit, with a different capacity and/or format in the target system.In this case, you can either select to perform a full unload/reload or to use the load source migration utility to bring up the new system. If you want to use the load source migration as a service offering from IBM or a Business Partner, you need to make sure that enough disk slots are available under the disk adapter in the target system to match the existing configuration, depending on the existing protection setup (RAID5 or mirroring) and the required protection setup on the target system.

For upgrades from 7xx, the same rules apply, but in this case, rekitting eligible SPD disks to 43xx needs to be included in the proposal and statement of work. All other cases will require an unload/reload.

It is therefore essential that, before any upgrade can be considered, a detailed planning be performed, consisting of:Careful documentation of the existing disk protection and disk location in the system racks and expansion units. In certain cases, you might want to see this updated in the customer inventory records, especially if the load source specify does not represent what kind of unit the customer uses.Documentation of customer objectives for the upgrade, including:

Maximum allowable downtimeExpected changes in protection or capacity of the disk configuration

Documentation of customer procedures for backup and recovery, including procedures for unload/reloadPlanning for intervention of service personnel during the upgrade

When preparing any upgrade, we recommend to use the Solution Assurance procedure to catch any other possible issues and to avoid problems during the upgrade.

Notes: Hardware Support with V5R2 (Feb 2003 Level) This foil gives the best summary of "older hardware" features V5R2 support statements.

Migration Towers 5033,5034,5035 and 5077 are not supported on the new models. The SPD attached PCI towers are also not supported on the new models. The disks and the PCI cards need to be accommodated in a 5074 or a 5094 based on their compatibility. Some of the expansion units can be converted to work with the new models. However detailed planning needs to be done before beginning the expansion unit conversion if you are upgrading a partitioned server.

Special note: Detailed planning is required to reassign the bus numbers while upgrading a partitioned server.

Since the migration towers are no longer supported on the new models, all SPD only devices need to be connected to equivalent PCI IOAs which are supported on the new models. The device/IOA compatibility matrix along with the device support on the models need to be verified before moving the SPD attached devices..

This link tells you the features which are not supported by V5R2:

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/support/planning/v5r2hardware.html .

If what you're looking for is an announcement letter of features which are no longer marketed, the announcement letter (US) is letter 903-011:

Note the distinction between withdrawal from marketing and withdrawal of support. The withdrawal from marketing is a formal IBM announcement. A feature may be supported on new releases or systems long after it is no longer marketed.

Withdrawal from support is not typically an announcement, but is generally conveyed through something like the planning web pages when a new software release or hardware model family is introduced.

There is also a formal end of hardware maintenance at some point. IBM Technical Services (ITS) will declare this at a machine-type/model level when they determine that they are no longer going to provide maintenance under maintenance agreements for a given model. This is not done at a feature level. Being sound business persons, the ITS will keep maintenance agreements available as long as they are profitable.

HSL Planning and Considerations

IBM eServer iSeries


HSL on new Models at V5R2 (Feb 2003 level)Mixed HSL on new Models

800 and 810 are both HSL

HSL-2 available/supported on:

i825, i870, i890New PCI-X towers: 5088, 5095, 5094, 5294

HSL-2 with flexibility built in

When connecting HSL towers to HSL-2 ports, you need (at least one) HSL to HSL-2 cable

Copper HSL and Copper HSL-2 can be intermixed

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: HSL on new Models at V5R2 (Feb 2003 level)This foils lists the major "points to consider" in the HSL loop and cabling considerations when migrating (or upgrading) to new server hardware configuration. The mixing of new technology hardware with existing older technology hardware is a prime consideration.

We include the listed topics in the following foils.

Note: Support for the HSL-2 cables implies that with some future edition of the associated HSL adapters on both the iSeries and the I/O towers on a loop consisting only of HSL-2 cables, higher maximum bits per second will be supported. At this time the planned availability of such adapters is not known.

Notes: HSL Rules and where to find themAs you can see, understanding HSL rules and making "best performance" choices require careful planning if you already have a large number of I/O devices on your existing system.

xSeries servers supported via the HSL cable attached to the Integrated xSeries Server Adapter (IXA) needs special attention to ensure its functioning does not significantly impact the throughput of other devices on the same loop.

We review the latest techniques and considerations in the next foils.

HSL Migration Examples

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: HSL Migration ExamplesThe next set of foils show some examples of the "more planning required" migration of an i820 to a new i825. showing HSL to HSL-2 cabling and IXA considerations. The following examples are not an exhaustive treatment of all possible HSL cable and I/O tower placement considerations.

Note : If the bottom 5074 was a migration tower then the xSeries & the top 5074 positions must be reversed.

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: HSL Migration Example (source system) The following charts demonstrate the flexibility that HSL provides for iSeries in general and for upgrades.

The chart show an example of a typical server upgrade where an 820 system (source systems) with two 5074 towers and an IXA , which is to be upgraded to an 825 (target system on the next foil).

Key Points:This is a simple "plug and go" upgrade with the special consideration added of the I/O tower containing the IXA.Note the IXA and its position in the loop

The source system is an 820 which has got only one HSL loop and therefore both the 5074s and the IXA are on one loop.

The single loop on the Model 820 has always been a limiting factor - forcing expansion unit, migration tower and IXA mixture on the same loop.

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: HSL Migration Example (Target system)This chart shows the resulting configuration of the 820 to 825 upgrade and the new HSL configuration.

A key point is the 825 offers a great deal of flexibility and expansion is such a small package, including up to three HSL loop capability.

The target i825, with its up to three HSL loops capability enables us to distribute the towers and the IXA across two different loops providing isolation and possible performance gains. The upgraded 825 system uses two of the possible three HSL loops .

Note: On the source system the number of HSL cables used is 4. This leaves three spare HSL cables. In the target system, we use HSL-1 cables - 1 HSL to HSL-2 cable - 4

The target system needs 4 new HSL to HSL-2 cables (conversion cables) included in the order.

Note on the HSL cabling costs. These cables are rather expensive, so be sure to include HSL cables in your planning.

Notes: 820 - 825 Upgrade alternative: 825, 1 HSL loopThis chart provides an alternative HSL solution to the previous chart but adds two new 5094 PIC-X I/O towers. This offers the least expensive option, but you should try to stay away from this if possible, because. of the exposure to errors affecting all I/O on the same loop. Also, it does not provide the best workload and I/O performance possibilities.

While the IXA card on the same loop is a bi-directional device, its presence carries the risk that it can be inadvertently powered down. This breaks the loop. While the other expansion units are still connected to the system, the resiliency has been reduced. If a port or cable should fail while the IXA adapter is powered off. The adjacent expansion unit will fail.

Notes: 820 - 825 Upgrade -adding two I/O towers: 2 loopsIn this example we do not show the xSeries with HSL adapter. Rather we are showing a recommended best performance 825 HSL loop configuration when migrating 2 older PCI I/O towers and adding 2 new PCI-X I/O towers.

We just placed them on separate loops.

If you still had the xSeries with HSL adapter you are faced with using a third HSL loop or adding the xSeries with HSL adapter to one of the two loops - with the same consideration discussed on the preceding foil.

This is the end of specific HSL loop considerations in this presentation. See the redbook listed earlier or the references at the end of this presentation for more complete scenarios and considerations.

Upgrade/Migration ScenariosExample-1

Customer has a 270 (Processor feature #2434) system with 6 disks on a #9767 controller with mirrored protection. Existing server is running V5R2 (Feb 2003 Level)Customer would like to upgrade to an 810 (processor feature #2469)RAID parity protection in the new server, is a requirement. New DASD controller #2757 orderedAdditional Ethernet IOA ordered

IBM eServer iSeries


Upgrade/Migration ScenariosUpgrade Tasks:

Preliminary tasksStop Mirrored protection on the source systemProcessor and Backplane replaced in the new machine

Install old memory modules (Same memory modules supported) + any new onesNew controller #2757 installed on the new backplane. (#9767 is not supported on 810)

New Ethernet IOA installedDisks, CDROM, tape unit (not 13GB) and other IOPs may be migrated

Migration depends on space/costAt IPL RAID protection started on the new machine Old Processor/Backplane returned to IBM

Do a full system save

This completes the upgrade activity

IBM eServer iSeries


Upgrade/Migration Scenarios:Example - 2:

Customer has a 270-2434 (processor CPW 2350) with Interactive Feature #1520 (70 CPW) and wants to replace it with an 810(#2469 processor feature)

Target 810 must have Enterprise Edition #7430Customer has five disks on the source machine with RAID on a #4748 controller Target machine has a new controller #2757 IOA

IBM eServer iSeries


Upgrade/Migration Scenarios:Migration tasks:

Preliminary tasksUpgrade not possible. New machine (migration) is brought inOld memory cards not supported. New memory installed on the machine

DASD units removed from the old machine and installed on #2757 on the 810CDROM/DVD/Tape units migrated from 270 to 810 provided there is spaceIOPs/IOAs migrated from 270 to 810 (provided there are available slots)

During first IPL, RAID is restructured for each existing RAID set under a new #2757

NOTE: during this restructure activity, data is unprotected.Old 270 remains with customer


This completes the upgrade activity

IBM eServer iSeries


Upgrade/Migration ScenariosExample - 3:

Customer has an AS/400 720 machine with #2748 controller with an 8 GB load source. Customer upgrading to an 825 machine with 17.5 GB load source. Customer has an expansion tower 5065 connected to the source machine.Current server is at V5R2. This causes an additional step to install and test V5R2 (February 2003) PTFs.

Possible scenarios depending planned disk configuration changesMany newer 10k RPM drives in base that will be reusedMixed disk drives configuration in base (size and speed)

Few or no 10k RPM drives in base that will be reused

Mixing disk sizes on target machines may impact performance

IBM eServer iSeries


Upgrade/Migration Scenarios: Load Source MigrationUpgrade steps with load source migration:

Preliminary tasksInstall 5065 or 5066 and drives to meet planned needs

One drive to remain non-configured for Load Source Migration (LSM)Roll-in/Roll-out upgrade. All new memory DIMMs. Old memory not supported.Move user data from drives to be removed and spread across ASP

The ASP includes the new drives in the 5065 towerCopy load source to non-configured disk unit in 5065 Convert 5065 to 5074 (replace IOPs/IOAs as required)Connect 5074 to new 825Convert feature CDROM/tape to #46xx before migrating to 825 CEC

Migrate/convert supported PCI IOAsMigrate/convert supported DASD featuresMigrate load source with LSM utility

Return old 720 processor, frame to IBM.Do a full system saveThis completes the upgrade activity

IBM eServer iSeries


Upgrade/Migration Scenarios: No Load Source MigrationUpgrade steps with disk relocation (no load source change):

Perform preliminary tasks

Install 5065 or 5066 to meet planned needsRoll-in/Roll-out upgrade. All new memory DIMMs. Old memory not supported.Move user data from drives to be removed across ASP

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Side by Side optionInformation only RPQ 847156 has existed in the past for side-by-side upgrades to earlier systems that included 830, 830, 840 target systems. That earlier support was chargeable.

Starting in January 2003, this is ab Information only RPQ and, when approved through a special bids process, no longer has a price.

Here are more details.

This is an informational RPQ that provides the necessary information, guidelines and process to allow a customer to run two servers with the same type/serial number concurrently for a limited time period when upgrading to an iSeries processor. The processor upgrade must be an upgrade which replaces a very large portion of the physical CEC to be a viable side by side. The two servers consist of:

Source system: 720, 730, 740, 820, 825, 830, 840 which is being upgraded to an 825, 830, 840, 870, or 890 Target system: resulting 825, 830, 840, 870, or 890

Only published upgrade paths are supported. A side by side within a model is not allowed, that is, no 825 to 825, 830 to 830, etc. Also, an 870 to 890 is not supported as a side by side upgrade.

A side by side is only available via the special bid process. A special bid must be completed by the appropriate geography pricer for each side by side. The special bid will establish the price for the side by side, provide a temporary software license and allow a retention of the return MES parts/features for a specified period of time not to exceed 8 weeks. A services contract will normally be required to cover the cost of additional service time and trips associated with a side by side. Prices for the special bid are dependent on the length of time and the resulting iSeries model.

Upgrading in HA EnvironmentsConsider the two categories (types) of HA environments:

Full replication environment ("full HA")Independent Auxiliary Storage Pool (iASP) switchable environment ("limited/planned high availability")

Planning is essentialYou must test Will the customer business accept no protection during upgrade?

If no, third system or LPAR will be required to maintain protectionOperating system environment

Create switchable test environmentApplication upgrade considerations

Create switchable test environment - LPAR Is application available at new release?Is a data migration program required?

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Upgrading in HAThis foil reminds us of the extra importance of the planning considerations for upgrading/migrating to a new server in a "high availability" environment.

If using a High Availability (HA) software package you need to get the software vendor involved.

If performing your own "switching of I/O (disks/entire I/O tower)" you need to plan when to do the switch.

In all situations you need to work with the business to determine how much "down time" they can tolerate and then do appropriate planning. A third system may be required.

The next foils discusses the simpler, limited high availability, technique of using IASP switching between systems.

Notes: Ultrium-2 and Second Generation LTODuring 1H 2003 IBM plans to announce the new Linear Tape-Open (LTO) IBM TOTAL STORAGE ULTRIUM-2 Tape Drives, which more than doubles tape drive performance over the LTO Ultrium Tape Drive (Ultrium 1) with up to 35 MB/sec native data transfer rate (70 MB/sec with 2:1 compression). In addition, with the use of the new IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 200 GB Data Cartridge, the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive doubles the tape cartridge capacity up to 200 GB native capacity (400 GB with 2:1 compression).

3580 MODELS H23 AND L23 offer high capacity, performance, and technology designed for the midrange open systems environment. The Model L23 comes with a SCSI Ultra 160 LVD attachment, while the Model H23 comes with a UltraSCSI HVD attachment.

The IBM LTO Tape Library 3584 now supports the IBM TOTALSTORAGE ULTRIUM-2 Tape Drives. These IBM Ultrium 2 Tape Drives come with SCSI Ultra 160 LVD, Ultra SCSI HVD, or switched fabric 2 Gbps Fibre Channel attachments for connection to open system servers including the iSeries.

The 3580 Model H23 and the UltraScalable Tape Library 3584, with the LTO Ultrium 2 HVD Drive Canister (#1475), can be attached to iSeries and AS/400 models that support Version 5 Release 1 (V5R1), or later (depending on adapter type), and the following adapters:

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: External Disk - Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) The ESS is an intelligent disk system designed to provide high-performance high-availability, and high-capacity disk storage. The Model 800 is the third generation of the ESS and maintains the functionality, stability and reliability. Flexible capacity and performance are further enhanced with support for multiple disk drive capacities (18.2, 36.4, 72.8, and 145.6 GB) at 10,000 and (18.2, 36.4 GB and 72.8 GB) 15,000 rpm. A storage subsystem's ability to scale upward, is in large measure gated by the performance needed to take advantage of the shear capacity it offers. Matching performance to scalability is thus a key component in delivering world class storage consolidation solutions. More details can be found at the following web site: http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/products/ess/ess.htm

Connectivity with iSeries over 2 Gbps Fibre Channel is enabled with #2766 under V5R2 for higher performance, while supporting current customer investments by maintaining compatibility with existing 1Gb solutions. All components in the Fibre Channel connection need to be 2 Gbps enabled to make use of this ability.

Notes: Case Study Example: ERP Environment - 2This is the second of two application and servers descriptions.

Two systems with two applications are listed -a QA and a powerful Development system.

IBM eServer iSeries


Case Study Example: ObjectivesRequirements for:

Processing power Production estimated to grow by 50% over the next year:Current CPU utilization at 70%Response times around 0.5 second per transaction

Processing power for QA and Development largely insufficient:Estimated to run correctly if doubling the capacity

Storage capacity (all servers) growing by 75% over the next year:Current capacity of 65%I/O rate around 10 per spindle per second

Footprint consolidation of QA and Development Consolidation of storage for 15 Print/File servers and current iSeries servers on single storage server infrastructure

IBM eServer iSeries


Case Study Example: Constraints and AssumptionsNo 5250 interfaces active on any of the servers

Global Data Center (GDC) implementation allows for 3 hours downtime per week (Sunday, 4 - 7 AM)

QA database is exact copy of Production database (Save/Restore operation)

High Availability solution is based on Data Replication only

HA Server is located within 400 meter - not a real Disaster/Recovery solutionSince the startup of the GDC, no single takeover was required

Geographically distinct places can be used for hosting Backup and Production server

Consider partitioning of the Backup Server to host both Development and QA server - during failover, a maximum of processing resources are assigned to the Backup server

ERP application level 4.6.2 is currently used

IBM eServer iSeries


Notes: Case Study: Constraints and AssumptionsThis foil lists the constraints and assumptions used for the upgrade/migration.

Note the consideration of perhaps using LPAR to host Development and QA on the same server as the ERP application backup.

We assume a current release level of the ERP application - 4.6.2, in our example.

IBM eServer iSeries


Case Study Example: Solution OutlineConsolidate

Backup, Q&A and Development server using Logical Partitioning on a single serverConsolidate storage on ESS server for OS/400 ERP servers and Print/File servers

Upgrade ERP Production server:Validate ERP application release level runs on V5R2 or obtain updated ERP versionProcessing and storage capacity:

Acquisition of system upgrade and expansion unitsReuse of storage capacity from Backup, Q&A and Development server

Migrate 3590 tape configuration from SCSI attachment to Fibre Channel (requires new tape "devices" or new FC feature

Upgrade Backup server:Partition the system for Q&A, development and BackupUse Linux partitions for File/Print serversAdd storage capacity to accommodate for:

Storage needsDASD redistribution to Production server

IBM eServer iSeries


The proposed solution goes beyond a simple upgrade of a number of existing servers. The new components introduced here are:

Server partitioning, to reduce the number of iSeries footprints from 4 to 2; however, the number of server instances will increase, since the design attempts to avoid single points of failure, therefore using a so-called Thin Primary partition in the partitioned server. This partitioned server will house:

The existing Backup server. The resource requirements for running data replication are light for the processor and main storage part, but equally high as for the disk storage capacity on the Production server. When this Backup server has to resume during a failover the service delivery for the Production server, its processing resources have to grow accordingly.The Q/A server.The Development server.

Dedicated Storage Servers. Since the current geographical distribution of the servers is quite limited (the Production, Q/A and Development server are in the same room, the Backup server is located 200 m away, on the same campus), there is no real Disaster/Recovery possibility. The introduction of a Storage Server, attached via fibre optics to the server, allows to house the storage on a second campus, about 20 km away.This Storage Server will also be used to house the data of the existing Wintel File/Print Servers.Introducing extra storage capacity also means that the existing internal DASD capacity of the three servers can be added to the Production server, thus covering the needs for extra disk capacity on this server.Migrate 3590s from SCSI attachment to FC allows to put the tape devices at a greater distance from the Production server.

In a later phase (beyond this example), it will be envisaged to replace the File/Print Servers running on a Wintel platform onto a Linux partition on the iSeries servers to further optimize the management of the server farm.

Notes: Case Study Example: Solution Outline

IBM eServer iSeries


Case Study Example: Solution Outline -2Validate no 5250 applications in the future:

Consider Standard Edition (limited 5250 OLT for administration) or Enterprise Edition because of integrated software products

Collect iSeries performance data (iSeries Navigator Collection Services) and use available sizing or capacity planning tools

IBM: Workload EstimatorBMC Software, inc. Patrol for iSeries - PredictOther tools

IBM eServer iSeries


Understand that no future 5250 applications will be added. If yes, you can consider the Standard Edition for the target server. However, you should also understand the included software products and price of the corresponding Enterprise edition, to determine the best return on investment.

Ensure you collect performance measurement data again and use available sizing (iSeries Workload Estimator) or capacity planning tools (BMC Software inc. Patrol for iSeries - Predict) or equivalent products to properly size the consolidated server.

In a later phase (beyond this example), it is envisaged to replace the File/Print Servers running on a Wintel platform onto a Linux partition on the iSeries servers to further optimize the management of the server farm.

Case Study Example: Solution Schematic Overview

After Upgrade / Migration

IBM eServer iSeries


Case Study Example: Solution Details - The Big PictureUpgrade all servers to a V5R2 level Planning:

Backup serverQ/A and Development serversProduction server

Backup, Q/A and Development servers:

Attain ESS skills or contract for service to installAttach 5078s with 2766Install ESS capacity and configure

Migrate DASD capacity from internal to external DASD

Upgrade Backup server to i870; configure Logical Partitioning to house Q/A and Development

Production server:

Attach DASD capacity from three other serversUpgrade to i870

IBM eServer iSeries


The objective of the planning is to provide as little as possible downtime for the production environment and to minimize the time of having the production environment to run unprotected by its Backup server.

The first task would be to prepare the computer room on the second campus to host the ESS server, including putting in place all networking infrastructure (switches, cabling, etc.). At the same time, additional 5078 expansion units and 2766 FC attachments are installed on the Backup, Q/A and Development servers. Once the ESS is operational, data can be moved from the internal DASD storage and brought over to the ESS; since this data migration can be done during normal operations, the impact is minimal. Once the data is removed from the internal DASD, the 5074 expansion towers can be attached to the Production server and any existing SPD 10K RPM disks can be migrated to that server also.

The second task is to upgrade the Backup server to an i870. In the base upgrade, we will provide hardware to support initially 2 partitions: one will act as thin primary, the other one will be the Backup server.

Once this upgrade is completed, phase three will consist of migrating the existing DASD capacity of both Q/A and Development servers to be hosted on the Backup server in a logical partitioning environment. Since this will not require an unload/reload, the downtime for this operation will be limited.

The final task will be to upgrade the Production server to an i870. Since at that time the Backup server has enough capacity to sustain the normal service delivery, a roll swap between the Production server and the already upgraded Backup server will help to reduce the downtime of the available services.
