iSeries in context

iSeries: an industry phenomenon

Optimised, integrated business computing for mid-enterprises

Enduring and unique software-based, hardware-independent architecture avoids all costly technology transitions

Easy to manage, secure, highly reliable

Successful in business solutions driven mid market

Far lowest total cost of ownership amongst midrange systems

IBM midrange systems

System/3 1969-1975 Product of General Systems Division, formed as result of anti-trust legislation. Low -end batch system replacement for unit-record equipment. Used RPG programming language. Disk and terminals soon added. 28-instruction CPU. Over 25,000 sold.

System/32 1975-1977 System/3 follow -on.System/34 1977-1981 System/32 follow -on. Ran SSP OS.System/36 1981-1986 System/34 follow -on. Ran SSP OS.System/38 1978-1988 Pioneering design, revolutionary architecture system, continued in AS/400

and iSeries to date, provides complete insulation for user applications against technology change. Also, f irst system line to include in-built relational database system. Ran CPF OS.

AS/400 1988-2000 Repackaged and improved S/38, hugely successful in medium business markets, using S/38 architecture. By mid-late 1990s, became open, e-business capable server. 200,000th AS/400 sold by 1992. OS/400 OS. From 1995 based on RISC chip (Pow erPC).

iSeries 2000-2002 Repackaged and re-branded AS/400, under eServer strategic initiative.New iSeries

2003-2004 Radically reshaped and extended, repackaged and re-priced iSeries, repositioned as "On Demand" e-business hub platform consolidating Window s/Intel, Linux, AIX, Java and Domino (as w ell as traditional OS/400) w orkloads. Over $500M IBM investment.

i5 2004- Technology convergence w ith pSeries, including AIX in a partition.

encapsulates its own TIMI ‘source code’ which can beautomatically re-translated

Linux on IXS/IXA

Linux on PowerPC (i.e. in an iSeries partition) is tried and tested, but vendor support for PowerPC Linux can be a problem. Linux on IXS/IXA gets round this.

Seen by some IBMers as a stepping stone to PowerPC Linux, rather than as a solution in its own right.

PowerPC Linux is more flexible: Intel Linux requires IXS/IXA hardware, and processor and memory allocation are not dynamic.

VMWare ESX is not yet supported.

Linux on IXS/IXA has been available only since the autumn of 2004, with no production deployment in the UK as yet.

Logicalis view: great future, but not ready yet.

The iSeries environment

The iSeries environment: agenda

Objects and libraries

Integrated Filing System

Work management

Instructing the iSeries

iSeries Navigator

CL commands

Integrated Filing System

One integrated structure

QSYS.LIB = libraries, objects and members

QDLS = traditional 8.3 folder/document tree

QNTC = Windows Network client – sees contents of your Windows servers

includes file system level view of IXS/IXA

QFILESVR.400 = Remote IFS – sees contents of other iSeries systems

QOPT = your iSeries’ CD drive

QIBM/ProdData and QIBM/UserData used by many IBM products including WebSphere

Qxxx used by other IBM products

Other root folders

use Unix naming conventions, e.g. case-sensitive

Can define shares using NetServer and map them as network drives from Windows

Jobs

All work progresses through the machine as a series of jobs. Jobs can have various sources. The most important types of job are:

Interactive Jobs

An interactive job is one which starts when a user signs onto a display station (i.e. a terminal emulation session). It is ended when the user signs off; if he signs on again, another interactive job is initiated.

Server Jobs

A server job runs continuously on the iSeries waiting for requests from clients (typically PCs).

Examples of server jobs are: FTP server; database server (used by ODBC applications).

Typically, server jobs are listening on TCP/IP ports.

Server jobs vary in the way in which they are started.

Batch Jobs

A batch job carries out processing that requires no input from a client or display station (for example, the generation of a report by an application).

A batch job is normally placed on a job queue via the SBMJOB command, which has many parameters, of which the following are the most important:

CMD - the CL command to be executed

JOB - the job name to be used for the batch job

JOBD - the job description to be used for this job

The job description specifies the job queue on which the job is to be placed, together with a lot of detailed information about the job - the default output queue for its spooled output, for example.

Print Writers (Spool Jobs)

These connect physical printers to output queues, and print spooled output as it arrives.

Job tuning depends on job type. IBM ships sensible defaults for traditional workloads.

Service engineer

Security administrator

Operator

Programmer

User

*SECADM *SAVSYS *JOBCTL *IOSYSCFG *SPLCTL *AUDIT: required in addition to relevant resource access

*ALLOBJ gives *ALL access to all objects

Simplify your infrastructure: single level signon

What Every Enterprise Wants

Protect access to enterprise resources at lowest possible cost

What Every User Wants

Highest possible convenience and productivity

Not to have to remember or change passwords

SSO Definition

What we mean by SSO

The ability of an end user to sign in to the enterprise network and run multi-tier applications without being prompted again for authentication data, and without requiring the end user to have the same user ID and/or password on every system.

What we don’t mean by SSO

Same user id everywhere

Same password everywhere

Centralized storing/caching of passwords

LDAP authentication

Kerberos and Enterprise Identity Mapping

Kerberos involves the acceptance of a single authentication by ‘Kerberised’ applications, avoiding the need for passwords

EIM links user ids for different servers, at individual or group level

Traffic cop

EIM can be used without Kerberos; Kerberos can be used without EIM
