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

Power Systems CBU for Enterprise Servers Offering

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 = 365xNx32 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 machine

model and type. Same GHZ to same GHZ – Only one Enterprise CBU to the eligible primary system– 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

Primary CBU

entitlement transfer

• All transferable entitlements must originate on the primary system and may not run concurrently on the primary system and the CBU system

• Subsequent to the initial workload deployment, production partitions may be moved to the CBU system for workload balancing etc

• The total number of processor entitlements running production across both servers can not exceed the original total licensed entitlements.



Production and CBU Enterprise reference table

• Production node feature code defines eligible CBU processor node feature code – CBU processor node model and type must be the same as the Primary processor node model and type (exception is when the

primary system is an E870 4.19GHZ)– 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

Example: Power E870 CBU for Power Enterprise Systems

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

Power E870 Production System:• Two processor nodes feature: EPBC • 8 active static cores + 40 mobile cores• 50% DIMM memory active

CBU system specify feature code: EB3K

PowerHA cluster



Example: Power E880 CBU for Power Enterprise Systems

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

Power E880 Production System:• Three processor nodes feature: EPBD • 8 active static cores + 36 mobile cores• 50% DIMM memory active

CBU system specify feature code: EB3K

PowerHA cluster



PowerHA data center cluster

Example topology: Two site three server (E870s) PowerHA/GDR config

• Only one CBU for Enterprise Systems may be paired to a primary/production servers• Therefore, you can use Enterprise Pools & GDR to move resources to the second site • For IBM i installations you could also choose to deploy the CBU for i at the second site

CBU feature code: EB3K

GDR to DR site

Replication

§ Automated DR management

§ Improved economics by eliminating the need for hardware and software resources at the backup site

§ Easier deployment for disaster recovery operations; unlike clustering or middleware replication technologies, VM restart technology has no operating system or middleware dependencies.

A simplified way to manage DR

§ Support for IBM POWER7® and POWER8® Systems§ Support for heterogeneous guest OSs

– AIX– Red Hat – SUSE– Ubuntu

Order Process/Registration

• 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 ([email protected])– 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 [email protected]• 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 [email protected]• 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
