1 IBM Power Systems CBU for E880, E880, E870 and E870C Steven Finnes Bill Casey

2 New Capacity Backup For Power Enterprise Systems New offering replaces the Capacity Backup for PowerHA offering More flexible than previous offering Eliminates many of the configuration requirements Provides support for the Power E870 and new Cloud models Provides lower hardware and hardware maintenance pricing for clients looking for HA/DR solution Fast failover to active memory on the CBU o To add 256GB of memory to the partition it can take 3 or 4 minutes, the more being added the longer the time entitlement transfer Primary CBU 2

3 Power E880C HA/DR Financial Alternatives ( 3 year TCA) Example Production System Total HW $1.892m $1.396m All Active System SW & SWMA $365k HWMA $131k CBU System Dedicated Capacity Backup Fast Failover (0 extra time for Memory acquisition) Power Enterprise Pools System Flexible usage / additional workload minutes per TB for memory acquisition Power Enterprise Pools System Flexible usage / additional workload Purchase Active Memory Fast Failover (0 extra time for Memory acquisition) -or- -or- -or- Total $1.892m Total $571k Total $804k HW $1.396m HW $523 K HW $748k* SW & SWMA $365k SW & SWMA $30k SW & SWMA $30k HWMA $131k HWMA $18k HWMA $25k *includes proc/mem conversion to mobile Example is a 96/128 and 3TB/4TB Power E880C production system with AIX Std, PowerVM EE & PowerVC Cloud Mgr Total $880k HW $825* SW & SWMA $30k HWMA $25k *includes static to mobile core conversion and additional static memory activation

4 Power Systems CBU for Enterprise Servers Offering All transferable entitlements must originate on the primary system and may not run concurrently on the primary system and the CBU system entitlement transfer Subsequent to the initial workload deployment, production partitions may be moved to the CBU system for workload balancing etc Primary CBU The total number of processor entitlements running production across both servers can not exceed the original total licensed entitlements. Offering for Power System E880, E880C, E870 & E870C customers HA/DR deployments requiring fast failover via active standby memory CBU offering Features: Deeply discounted processor nodes matching the installed production server processor nodes No charge active standby memory = 365x(N-8)x32 GB, where N is the number of active mobile cores on the production server renewable annually Mobile processor activations are transferred from production to CBU via Enterprise Pool transfers Offering requirements overview Primary system and CBU system must be the same model and processor speed (only one CBU to one production server Primary can be new or installed box, CBU must be a new box A minimum of one entitlement of AIX or IBM i & PowerHA on the CBU or if alternative HA/DR solution is used, as many IBM i or AIX entitlements as needed to support the workload (such as a middleware replication workload) 8 processor static activations on the CBU (no more no less) Minimum of 25% of DIMM memory active on the CBU No charge Memory ECOD days must be activated upon install of CBU system and remain active for 365 days Registration of primary system and CBU prior to CBU order fulfillment (registration validates configuration)primary and CBU must be within the same enterprise

5 Production and CBU Enterprise reference table Welcome to the Waitless World Production node feature code defines eligible CBU processor node feature code Production processor node model must be the same as the CBU processor node model (MME to MME, or MHE to MHE) Production node frequency = CBU node frequency. Example: E GHz EPBD production node selects an EPBH CBU node The number of eligible discounted CBU processor nodes = the number of production processor nodes The CBU requires a CBU System Feature Code attained upon ordering the system and must be registered prior to shipment

6 Example: Power E870 CBU for Power Enterprise Systems PowerHA cluster CBU system specify feature code: EB3K Power E870 Production System: Two processor nodes feature: EPBC 8 active static cores + 40 mobile cores 50% DIMM memory active Power E870 CBU System: Two discounted processor nodes features: EPBX 8 active static cores 25% of DIMM memory active 365 days x 40 mobile cores x 32 GB/mobile core = 467,200 Gbyte of no charge ECOD memory days

7 Example: Power E880 CBU for Power Enterprise Systems PowerHA cluster CBU system specify feature code: EB3K Power E880 Production System: Three processor nodes feature: EPBD 8 active static cores + 36 mobile cores 50% DIMM memory active Power E880 CBU System: Three discounted processor nodes features: EPBH 8 active static cores 25% of DIMM memory active 365 days x 36 mobile cores x 32 GB/mobile core = 420,480 Gbyte of no charge ECOD memory days

8 Order Process/Registration Welcome to the Waitless World Prior to ordering the CBU with PowerHA fill in the worksheet posted on the CBU registration website to determine number of eligible discounted CBU processor nodes no charge memory ECOD activations Submit CBU entitlement worksheet IBM verifies client configuration entitlements (discounted processor nodes and ECOD days) Customer agrees to CBU terms and conditions via registration website Send configuration files to After project office approval, order the approved CBU configuration Specify the # of CBU processor nodes & feature code Econfig will automatically add the CBU system feature code: EB3J or EB3K After CBU system is installed, configuration of Primary and CBU system is sent to PowerHACBU@us.ibm.com CBU project office will apply the appropriate number of ECOD days to CBU for Enterprise Systems Implement TCOD (temporary COD) via standard process TCOD contract signed by client ECOD enablement codes ordered via MES Registration website:
