Description

N Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) provides direct access to Fiber Channel adapters from multiple client partitions, simplifying the management of Fibre Channel SAN environments. NPIV support is included with PowerVM Express, Standard, and Enterprise Edition and supports AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 partitions on selected POWER6 processor-based servers Power 520, 550, 560, and 570, with an 8 GB Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA).

NPIV is a standardized method for virtualizing a physical Fibre Channel port. An NPIV-capable Fibre Channel HBA can have multiple N_Ports, each with a unique identity. NPIV coupled with the Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) adapter sharing capabilities allow a physical Fibre Channel HBA to be shared across multiple guest operating systems. The PowerVM NPIV implementation enables logical partitions (LPARs) to have virtual Fibre Channel HBAs, each with a dedicated worldwide port name. Each virtual Fibre Channel HBA has a unique SAN identity similar to that of a dedicated physical HBA.

IBM United States Software Announcement IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 2 208-340 NPIV offers many benefits:

• Ease-of-use allowing storage administrators to use existing tools for storage management (including SAN managers, copy services, and backup and restore) • Simplified storage provisioning using standard zoning and LUN masking techniques • Physical and virtual device compatibility • Access to SAN devices including tape libraries • Distributed solutions that depend on SCSI heuristics SCSI-2 (Reserve/Release and SCSI3 Persistent Reserve)

PowerVM partitions support both physical and virtual I/O enabling dynamic heterogeneous multiple path I/O. With this support, partitions can have paths to a storage device that includes both physical (that is, dedicated FC adapters) and virtual (that is, NPIV) adapters.

This multiple path support is a key enhancement for Live Partition Mobility, which requires that a partition use virtual I/O resources exclusively. With this enhancement, a partition can be dynamically changed from using physical adapters to using only virtual (that is, NPIV) resources, leaving the partition ready for Live Partition Mobility without an outage. Another benefit of this multiple path support is efficient redundancy using shared resources. Typically, redundancy has been achieved with dedicated physical I/O resources in each partition (that is, two or more HBAs, cables, or switch ports). Although NPIV is functionally comparable to a physical Fibre Channel HBAs, some may prefer to use physical paths as the primary access to storage. Multiple path support allows a configuration to use dedicated resources as the primary paths, and virtual (that is, NPIV) paths as the failover paths. The failover paths can be sharing adapter/ cable/switch ports with other failover paths for other partitions .

Multiple path I/O is supported with Live Partition Mobility environments with AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 partitions on POWER6 processor-based servers.

PowerVM Live Partition Mobility is supported in environments with two Hardware Management Consoles (HMCs) supporting larger and more flexible configurations. Partitions may be migrated between systems that are managed by two different HMCs. This support is provided for AIX 5.3, AIX 6.1, and Linux partitions on POWER6 processor-based servers.

PowerVM has two virtualization methods for using tape devices on POWER6 processor- based servers, simplifying backup and restore operations. Both methods are supported with PowerVM Express, Standard, or Enterprise Edition and supports AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 partitions on POWER6 processor-based servers.

• NPIV enables PowerVM LPARs to access SAN tape libraries using shared physical HBA resources. • Virtual tape support allows serial sharing of selected SAS tape devices

PowerVM VIOS monitoring has been enhanced with new function:

• topasrec tool: A new tool named topasrec is introduced to do topas or nmon style recordings. This tool supersedes the functionality of xmwlm. • LVM / volume group monitoring monitors Logical Volume and Volume Group statistics. • Disk / multipath I/O monitoring monitors Disk Service Time metrics along with its Path statistics in a single screen. • Adapter statistics monitors an adapter's throughput statistics and also displays associated disk service time metrics. • VIOS Server / Client I/O throughput monitoring provides screen panels to view VIOS Server / Client throughput summary and also Server / Client association and also provides screen panels to view Host Adapter / Target Device / Client Device statistics with its association. • Detailed network adapter monitoring provides detailed network statistics and Shared Ethernet Adapter (SEA) statistics along with the association of physical network adapters.

IBM System Planning Tool

IBM System Planning Tool (SPT):

• Supports the ability to plan for adapters that are not assigned to a partition. • Allows the expansion units in a system plan to be renamed and placed in a specific order by the user. • Can now be used to plan for the installation of AIX and Linux operating systems in partitions managed by the Integrated Virtualization Manager 2.1. When the system plan is deployed by the Integrated Virtualization Manager, it will install AIX or Linux in the new partitions. • Provides an estimate of the energy consumption of the system configuration for POWER6 systems.

The IBM Workload Estimator (WLE) can now save sized system configuration to a file that can be read by the SPT, making it easier to size a system independent of the SPT and providing the ability to later configure the system with SPT.

Software requirements RealSecure Server Sensor for AIX requires one of these operating systems:

• AIX 5.3 • AIX 6.1

The program's specifications and specified operating environment information may be found in documentation accompanying the program, if available, such as a readme file, or other information published by IBM, such as an announcement letter. Documentation and other program content may be supplied only in the English language.

Limitations PowerVM Lx86 runs most x86 Linux applications, but PowerVM Lx86 cannot run applications that:

• Directly access hardware (for example, 3D graphics adapters) • Require nonstandard kernel module access or use kernel modules not provided by the Linux on POWER operating system distribution • Do not use only the Intel® IA-32 instruction set architecture as defined by the 1997 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual consisting of Basic Architecture (Order Number 243190), Instruction Set Reference Manual (Order Number 243191), and the System Programming Guide (Order Number 243192) dated 1997 • Do not run correctly on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 for POWER starting with Version 4.3 or Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES) for POWER, starting with SP3, or Novell SLES 10

IBM United States Software Announcement IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 7 208-340 • Are Linux/x86 specific system administration or configuration tools • Require x86 real-mode

In addition, the performance of some x86 Linux applications running on PowerVM Lx86 may significantly vary from the performance obtained when these applications are run as a native port. There are various architectural differences between x86 and Power Architecture® that can impact performance of translated applications. For example, translating dynamically generated tm code like Java byte codes is an ongoing translation process, which can be expected to impact the performance of x86 Java applications using an x86 Java virtual machine.

Floating point applications running under x86 have a different default precision level from Power Architecture, so translating between these levels can have additional performance penalties. Also, translating and protecting multi-threaded applications can incur an additional performance overhead as the translator works to manage shared memory accesses. IBM suggests that clients carefully consider these performance characteristics when selecting the best method for enabling applications for their environment.
