Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 1.3. Logical Partitioning Partitioning provides the ability to subdivide high-end systems into smaller partitions that are capable of running a version of an operating system or a specific set of application workloads. The main reasons for partitioning a large system are as follows: • Server consolidation by running multiple applications that previously resided on separate physical systems. • Mixing production and test environments.
PAGE 26

Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 1.11. Escala Tower PL, E and T PowerPC System Structure Many different system designs are available with the PowerPC processor. The Escala Tower PL, E and T servers are designed to achieve performance scalability and high availability from the PowerPC processor chip. One of the major features of the Escala design is the symmetric multiprocessor architecture that allows to progressively upgrade the system by adding processors.
PAGE 33
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware The approach adopted utilizes a memory bus to carry only simple address tags and to use a nonblocking crossbar switch for data traffic. This crossbar switch is used to interconnect up to 4 dual-CPU ports, an I/O port and the memory sub-system. Following the setup phase of a transaction, e.g. posting an address on the address bus, the data can then be transferred at full clock speed through the switch.
PAGE 34
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware Scalability is also a key design consideration. The Escala servers can be easily upgraded. The packaging permits convenient replacement or upgrading of processor, memory, or I/O adapters. For example, the processors are contained on processor boards that plug into slots on the system board. A processor board contains two processors, and upgrading from a two-way system is a matter of plugging in an additional processor board.

Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 14. Escala E & T Series: Native High Availability Solutions Escala E & T models have been designed to provide high availability, and numerous reliability and serviceability features. The native high availability solution is not available on the T610, and the Tower PL Series.
PAGE 143
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware The base of the native HA feature is the RAID 1 software provided by the AIX® mirroring, along with the double master Ultra Wide SCSI bus. In normal operations, both systems are running their own part of the application workload. If one of the two systems fails despite all internal RAS protections, thanks to HA-CMP software, the second system running the other part of the application is able to take over the workload of the first system.

PAGE 182
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 3.9. The SCSI Host Connection The main component of the connection to the ESCALA host is the standard dedicated SCSI-2 SE/DE adapter excepted for the DAS3500 (Fibre Channel). It is a 20MB/s Fast Wide differential MCA/PCIto-SCSI-2 Adapter. The connection uses also a SCSI-2 bus cable and an asynchronous RS232 cable for the DAS1300, DAS2900 and DAS3200. The DAS3500 uses a Fibre Channel connection (FC-AL) to connect the SP to the Host.
PAGE 183
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 3.11. Mirrored Caching Option On DAS1300, DAS2900 and DAS3200/DAS3500 models, with dual SP, a cache memory is available. Mainly dedicated to write access caching, it can be also configured as a read cache or as a read and write cache. The write cache drops the response time for every write access and thus alleviate the write penalty tied to RAID5. A small amount of read cache (2 to 4 MB) will benefit sequential access.

Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware ATF is easy to manage. The initial configuration is fully automatic. ATF retrieves itself the SP pairs. Failover is automatic, based in the IO errors returned by the host bus adapters in case of unreachability of LUNs. The trespass command enables to force IO rerouting, for example for maintenance operations. The restoration of initial IO routing after repair is also controlled by the administrator.
PAGE 197
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware With PowerPath, not only are multiple channels used to share the I/O workload, but also the automatic load balancing capability ensures that they are utilized in the most efficient manner possible. Multipathing allows for two or more data paths (up to 16 for DAS and up to 32 for Symmetrix) to be simultaneously used for read/write operations. Performance is thereby enhanced by automatically and equally dispersing data access across all the available paths.

Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 6. Storage Area Network (SAN) Introduction The term SAN designates a new type of storage architecture in which the storage systems are attached to a high-speed network dedicated exclusively to storage. It involves a whole new network totally distinct of the existing communication networks, as described in the next figure. The application servers (usually UNIX or NT based) access to the storage resource through the SAN.
PAGE 219
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware Cost reduction: The cost of storage systems depends on the cost of the disks, but also on the cost of the enclosure and of the management software. In a private storage architecture, it is usually mandatory to buy lot of small or medium size enclosures. With the SAN architecture, it is possible to reduce the number of enclosures, thanks to the capability of storage sharing through the network. Furthermore, the disk space in the enclosures can also be shared.
PAGE 220
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 6.1. Challenges and Risks Designing a SAN looks like designing a LAN: it's a network, and the design must integrate analysis of traffic requirements, the number and location of devices to connect, topology constraints, and other network related factors. The design must also take into account the availability constraints, which are much higher for storage access that for legacy LANs.
PAGE 221
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware For the disk resources, LUN masking technologies can be involved, either at the server level or disk array level. Zoning can also be used to create virtual networks and simplify the management. 6.3. The Design of a SAN Infrastructure Fibre channel is the single technology available on the market that allows to deploy SANs with a high level of performance.
PAGE 222
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 6.3.3. Fibre Channel Networks Fibre Channel networks are implemented with respect of some rules defined by the ANSI standards, and using some equipment to implement the network infrastructure. 6.3.3.1. Point to Point Connection The point to point connection between two devices is the simplest cabling solution. The cable types and distance limitations have been described in 6.3.2. Cabling. 1 cable, full-duplex capability Point-to-point cabling 6.3.3.2.
PAGE 223
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware The bandwidth and connectivity limitations are inherent to the protocol used. The risk of loop disruption is addressed by the use of Fibre Channel hubs, which implement a loop within the device, in conjunction with bypass circuits for each hub's port. The bypass circuits maintain the loop integrity in case of unused port or faulty external devices. They also simplify the cabling, converting the loop cabling to a star cabling.
PAGE 224
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware The smallest Fibre Channel fabric is made of a single switch. Larger fabric can be interconnected by cascading switches. The protocol enables to connect million of devices.
PAGE 225
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware Multiple inter-switch links can be aggregated, to avoid the risk of bandwidth bottleneck that may arise when using a single link operating at the same speed than the switch ports.
PAGE 226
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 6.3.4. Zoning, Switched Loops, Mix of Private Loops and Fabrics Using these basic topologies and protocols to operate in private or public loop and fabric environments, various features have been implemented by the SAN infrastructure vendors. These features are proprietary, usually compatible with Fibre Channel standards and bring new interconnection and operation capabilities. 6.3.4.1.
PAGE 227
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 6.3.4.3. Switched Loops Switched loops are the synthesis of switching technologies and fibre channel private loop protocol. They enable private loop devices, which do not support fabric connection, to benefit of improved performance compared to "simple" loops. With this technology, several small private loops, called looplets are interconnected by a switching device called switched hub or storage switch.
PAGE 228
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 6.3.5. Interconnection with Legacy Technologies 6.3.5.1. Fibre Channel / SCSI Bridges Fibre channel / SCSI bridges provide a fibre channel interface for SCSI devices. A bridge can connect servers or storage subsystems that do not have fibre channel interfaces. There are two modes of operation: • SCSI initiator (e.g. server with SCSI adapter) to fibre channel target (e.g. fibre channel disk subsystem) • Or fibre channel initiator (e.g.
PAGE 229
Escala Tower PL & S, E, T System Hardware 6.3.5.3. Fibre Channel / WAN Bridges Fibre Channel supports long distance links, but it is often difficult to deploy a private cabling in the public domain. Thus proprietary devices has been designed by hardware vendors to interconnect SAN islands using services from telco operators like ATM or E3/T3. Some of these devices implement real fabric services or loop emulation, and are fully transparent for the Fibre Channel protocols.
