CP capacity conversions are handled separately from the specialty engines under the following rules:
CP Capacities are converted "any to any"...allow MIPS upgrades, downgrades and horizontal movement. CP Capacities are handled separately from specialty engines, meaning that in the conditions where CP capacity on the target machine is constructed using a lesser amount of CPs, the remaining CPs are not available to be converted to specialty engines. .

zEnterprise System Out of Order Detail


Out of order yields significant performance benefit through Re-ordering instruction execution
Instructions stall in a pipeline because they are waiting for results from a previous instruction or the execution resource they require is busy In an in-order core, this stalled instruction stalls all later instructions in the code stream In an out-of-order core, later instructions are allowed to execute ahead of the stalled instruction

Re-ordering storage accesses


Instructions which access storage can stall because they are waiting on results needed to compute storage address In an in-order core, later instructions are stalled In an out-of-order core, later storage-accessing instructions which can compute their storage address are allowed to execute

Hiding storage access latency


Many instructions access data from storage Storage accesses can miss the L1 and require 10 to 500 additional cycles to retrieve the storage data In an in-order core, later instructions in the code stream are stalled In an out-of-order core, later instructions which are not dependent on this storage data are allowed to execute

Buffer credits for FICON Express8 and 8S


40 buffer credits available per channel Conforms to Fibre Channel standard flow control
Avoids overwriting the buffer 40 credits is 80 KB of buffer at the receiver Sufficient to hold the maximum data payload on the fiber for 20 km (round trip) of data. Anything less will not fill the buffer

Receiver side of port should contain sufficient buffer credits to ensure channel is fully utilized
Receiver must contain = > 4 buffer credits per km of fiber distance at 8 Gbps

Buffer credits are directly related to the distance supported


8 Gbps needs about 4 credits/km... 10 km = about 40 credits. 100 km = about 400 credits 4 Gbps needs about 2 credits/km... 10 km = about 20 credits. 100 km = about 200 credits

In the short block case, the concern is response time, not data bandwidth. Where the buffer-to-buffer credits (BtoB credits) becomes an issue is when large blocks per I/O are being transferred, so link bandwidth becomes the factor of interest. In this case, the frames will be almost always full (2K).

zDAC Value
Without I/O discovery and auto configuration, using HCD **
Defining the fibre channel network
Control unit address and ports specified on paper; requires many people and transcribing from paper to HCD.

With I/O discovery and autoconfiguration**


Discover the connections in the fiber channel network. HCD invokes IOS to discover I/O hardware in the current configuration based on autoconfiguration policies. Steps: 1 HCD: 5 panels for whole fibre channel network; policy definition and running auto discovery. Time: a few minutes

Steps: multiple iterative steps HCD: several panels per control unit Time: hours

Defining the control units: building the I/O configurations

Control Unit addresses and ports are specified manually one at a time with new or new based on function in HCD.

From the discovered control units, HCD retrieves and proposes control unit and device types and numbers, channel path assignments, partition access and OS device parameters. Definitions are automatically written into a specified target work IODF which is created as a copy of the active or accessed IODF. Steps: 1 HCD: 5 panels for whole fibre channel network Addresses and ports discovered and defined electronically, using best practices ad existing configurations. Errors discovered in working IODF and can be corrected before activation

Steps: multiple iterative steps HCD: 10 panels per control unit Time: hours

Error checking

Errors not found until IODF is activated or device is brought online, requiring rework. Manual error checking

FCP channels to support T10-DIF for enhanced reliability


System z Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) has implemented support of the American National Standards Institute's (ANSI) T10 Data Integrity Field (DIF) standard. Data integrity protection fields are generated by the operating system and propagated through the storage area network (SAN). System z helps to provide added end-to-end data protection between the operating system and the storage device An extension to the standard, Data Integrity Extensions (DIX), provides checksum protection from the application layer through the host bus adapter (HBA), where cyclical redundancy checking (CRC) protection is implemented T10-DIF support by the FICON Express8S and FICON Express8 features, when defined as CHPID type FCP, is exclusive to z196 and z114. Exploitation of the T10-DIF standard requires support by the operating system and the storage device z/VM 5.4 with PTFs for guest exploitation Linux on System z distributions: IBM is working with its Linux distribution partners to include support in future Linux on System z distribution releases. .

IPv6 Support
Checksum offload for IPv6 packets is now available for z/OS environments: When the checksum function is offloaded from the host, CPU cycles are reduced, improving performance. With the introduction of OSA-Express4S, the checksum offload function is now performed for IPv6 packets as well as IPv4 packets, whether the traffic goes out to the local area network (LAN), comes in from the LAN, or flows logical partition-to-logical partition through OSAExpress4S. Checksum offload provides the capability of calculating the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and Internet Protocol (IP) header checksums for Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) packets and now, IPv6 packets. Checksum verifies the correctness of files. When checksum offload was introduced in May of 2003, it was limited to IPv4 packets. Checksum offload for IPv6 packets is exclusive to OSA-Express4S features (CHPID types OSD and OSX) on the z196 and z114. It is supported by z/OS. Refer to the Software requirements section. Checksum offload for IPv4 packets is currently available for all in-service releases of z/OS and Linux on System z. Checksum offload for LPAR-to-LPAR traffic in the z/OS environment is included in the OSAExpress4S design for both IPv4 and IPv6 packets. Large send for IPv6 packets is now available for z/OS environments: Large send (also referred to as TCP segmentation offload) is designed to improve performance by offloading outbound TCP segmentation processing from the host to an OSA-Express4S feature by employing a more efficient memory transfer into OSA-Express4S. Note: Large Send for IPv6 packets is not supported for LPAR-to-LPAR packets. Large send support for IPv6 packets applies to the OSA-Express4S features (CHPID type OSD and OSX), and is exclusive to the z196 and z114. It is supported by z/OS and z/VM for guest exploitation Large send for IPv4 packets is currently available for all in-service releases of z/OS and Linux on System z.

Glossary for System z Server Time Protocol (STP)


Acronym
Arbiter Arbiter

Full name

Comments
Server assigned by the customer to provide additional means for the Backup Time Server to determine whether it should take over as the Current Time Server. Server assigned by the customer to take over as the Current Time Server (stratum 1 server) because of a planned or unplanned reconfiguration. The Coordinated Server Time in a CTN represents the time for the CTN. CST is determined at each server in the CTN. A network that contains a collection of servers that are time synchronized to CST.

BTS

Backup Time Server

CST CTN CTN ID CTS

Coordinated Server Time Coordinated Timing Network

Identifier that is used to indicate whether the server has Coordinated Timing Network been configured to be part of a CTN and, if so, identifies Identifier that CTN. Current Time Server Going Away Signal A server that is currently the clock source for an STP-only CTN. A reliable unambiguous signal to indicate that the CPC is about to enter a check stopped state. The server assigned by the customer to be the preferred stratum 1 server in an STP-only CTN.

Current STP Recovery in a nut shell


CANNOT have two Stratum 1 servers in timing network Backup Time Server (BTS) can take over as Current Time Server (CTS), active Stratum 1, only if either:
Preferred Time Server (PTS) can indicate it has failed BTS can unambiguously determine the PTS has failed

Coordinated Timing Network (CTN) with only 2 servers/CFs


Based on combination of: Server Offline Signal (OLS- Channel going away signal) and Console Assisted Recovery (CAR) Server Offline signal (OLS) transmitted on a channel by the server to indicate that the channel is going offline CAR initiated when OLS not received Uses HMC/SE LAN path to determine if BTS can take over as CTS

Coordinated Timing Network (CTN) with 3 or more servers/CFs


If BTS loses communication on all established paths to CTS BTS and Arbiter communicate to establish if Arbiter also has lost communication on all established paths to CTS If both BTS and Arbiter cannot communicate with CTS BTS takes over as CTS (S1)

How it works
Going Away Signal sent by the Current Time Server (CTS) in an STPonly Coordinated Timing Network (CTN) Received by the Backup Time Server (BTS) BTS can safely take over as the CTS without relying on Offline Signal (OLS) in a 2 server CTN or the Arbiter in a CTN with 3 or more servers Current recovery design is still used when going away signal is not received by BTS and for other failures

International Technical Support Organization and Authoring Services

Pre-reqs
This enhancement is only available if you have a HCA3-O on the CTS communicating with a HCA3-O on the BTS. The STP recovery design is still available for the cases when a Going Away Signal is not received or for other failures besides a server failure Infiniband (IFB) links using HCA3-O to HCA3-O 12x IFB to 12x IFB HCA-O LR to HCA3-O LR 1x IFB

Dependencies
Dependencies on OLS and CAR removed in a 2 server CTN Going Away Signal has priority over OLS in a 2 server CTN Dependencies on BTS-->Arbiter communication removed in CTNs with 3 or more servers BTS can also use going away signal to take over as CTS for CTNs with 3 or more servers without communicating with Arbiter

Improved time coordination for virtual servers in zBX


Network Time Protocol (NTP) clients running on blades and appliances in zBX synchronize their time to the NTP server provided by the Support Element (SE) every 2 to 4 hours It is important for the SEs clock to maintain good time accuracy this enhancement provides the capability for the components in zBX to maintain an approximate time accuracy of 100 milliseconds to an NTP server if they synchronize to the SEs NTP server at least once an hour The IBM WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance XI50 for zEnterprise (DataPower XI50z) synchronizes to the SEs BOC once an hour. The POWER7 blade and Optimizer synchronize to the SE every 4 hours

SE Enhancement
An enhancement has been made to improve the time accuracy of the SEs Battery Operated Clock (BOC) by synchronizing the SEs BOC to the servers Time of Day Clock (TOD) every hour, instead of the previous synchronization which took place every 24 hours. This enhancement will allow the SEs clock to maintain a time accuracy of 100 milliseconds to an NTP server configured as the External Time Source in an STP-only CTN.

SE BOC Update
At IML SE BOC used to set the CPC TOD Prior DR93, Primary SE synchronizes with CPC TOD every 24 hours since SE BOC may have a significantly larger accumulated drift in time compared to CPC TOD Could result in repeated timestamps in logs To ensure that new Primary SE running with accurate CEC time Primary SE BOC synchs with the CPR TOD Alternate SE BOC synchs with Primary SE BOC Alternate SE switches to Primary SE

NTP thresholds
Allows you to specify threshold settings in order to suppress generation of hardware and operating system messages related to changes in the NTP server stratum level or source ID. Select the stratum level threshold value to indicate the NTP server stratum level that must be reached before generating messages. Select the source ID time threshold value to indicate the amount of time that must pass before a change in the source ID generates messages. Messages issued if the source ID does not return to the original value within the specified time period. Example: If NTP server stratum level changes from 2 to 3 and back from 3 to 2, no messages will be generated If NTP server stratum level changes from 2 to 4, messages will be generated

STP Server Role Assignments (3 or more servers)


New whitepaper released - WP101833 http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP101833
STP server role assignments should be accounted for and included in ALL installation / migration planning activities ! Process documented in techdoc WP101833 should be followed any time a server is take down for planned or unplanned outages. Failure to follow these procedures can result in a sysplex wide outage! Server role reassignments are easy and can be changed concurrently. Roles assignments performed under the Network Configuration panel via the System (Sysplex) Time task. All server roles assignments must be done from the CPC that is assigned as the PTS.
For PTS reassignments only, the PTS assignment to another CPC must be done from the CPC that will become the new PTS.

z196/z114 Cryptographic Enhancements


Elliptic Curve Cryptography Digital Signature Algorithm (ECC), an emerging public key algorithm expected eventually to replace RSA cryptography in many applications. ECC is capable of providing digital signature functions and key agreement functions. The new CCA functions provide ECC key generation and key management and provide digital signature generation and verification functions compliance with the ECDSA method described in ANSI X9.62 "Public Key Cryptography for the Financial Services Industry: The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)". ECC uses keys that are shorter than RSA keys for equivalent strength-per-key-bit; RSA is impractical at key lengths with strength-per-key-bit equivalent to AES-192 and AES-256. So the strength-per-key-bit is substantially greater in an algorithm that uses elliptic curves. ANSI X9.8 PIN security which facilitates compliance with the processing requirements defined in the new version of the ANSI X9.8 and ISO 9564 PIN Security Standards and provides added security for transactions that require Personal Identification Numbers (PIN). Enhanced Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA), a Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) key token wrapping method using Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode in combination with other techniques to satisfy the key bundle compliance requirements in standards including ANSI X9.24-1 and the recently published Payment Card Industry Hardware Security Module (PCI HSM) standard. Secure Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC), a method for computing a message authentication code using a secret key and a secure hash function. It is defined in the standard FIPS 198, "The Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code". The new CCA functions support HMAC using SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hash algorithms. The HMAC keys are variablelength and are securely encrypted so that their values are protected. Modulus Exponent (ME) and Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT), RSA encryption and decryption with key lengths greater than 2048-bits and up to 4096-bits.

IBM WebSphere DataPower XI50 for zEnterprise (DataPower XI50z)


IBM DataPower XI50z can perform a tremendous variety of use cases, and in almost all real world use cases, there are other servers involved, which introduce their own latency. Currently DataPower XI50z sizing typically is performed on a per client basis, often based on results of a proof of concept. If a System z seller identifies the opportunity, they should bring in a SWG WebSphere seller who can then decide whether to bring in a SWG DataPower Tech Sales Specialist. IBM Business Partners Must be certified to sell DataPower XI50z Should already posses the skills to do the sizing

z196/z114 I/O Cage/Drawer Migration


With the introduction of the PCIe I/O drawer, a strategy has been developed to help migrate customers I/O from the current I/O cage and I/O drawer to the PCIe I/O drawer I/O cage/drawer migration goals Eliminate the need for I/O cages and I/O drawers by two generations after the z196 I/O cage/drawer migration execution I/O feature ordering I/O feature carry forward

I/O Feature Ordering and Carry Forward*


Customers cannot order I/O cages (z196) or I/O drawers, they order I/O features and eConfig will determine the proper mix of I/O cage (z196), I/O drawer, and the PCIe I/O drawer New builds, migration offerings, and z exchange programs All FICON and OSA features (except 1000 BASE-T) will be PCIe I/O based Crypto Express3, ESCON, ISC-3, OSA-Express3 1000BASE-T and PSC will be I/O drawer based Box MES and loose piece MES RPQ to order the I/O drawer based cards to fill empty I/O cage and I/O drawer slots until they are filled
RPQ is only available if there are no open PCIe I/O drawer slots Current I/O drawer based cards are FICON Express8 and OSA-Express3, Crypto Express3

and ISC-3 coupling links Once the empty slots (i.e. I/O cage & I/O drawer) are filled, eConfig will drive out a PCIe I/O drawer with the associated features

Customers will not be allowed to carry forward the oldest generation of I/O cards in future severs* z114 will not support (i.e. allow the carry forward) of FICON Express4, OSA-Express2 and ESCON features Future servers will not support FICON Express8, OSA-Express3, ISC-3, or PSC features

*Refer to the Statements of Direction

ESCON Statement of Direction* - February 15, 2011


The IBM zEnterprise 196 (z196) will be the last high-end server to support ESCON channels: IBM plans not to offer ESCON channels as an orderable feature on high-end System z servers which follow the z196 (machine type 2817). In addition, ESCON channels cannot be carried forward on an upgrade to such a follow-on server. This plan applies to channel path identifier (CHPID) types CNC, CTC, CVC, and CBY and to feature code numbers 2323 and 2324. System z customers should continue migrating from ESCON to FICON. Alternate solutions are available for connectivity to ESCON devices. IBM Global Technology Services offers an ESCON to FICON Migration solution, This offering should help customers to simplify and manage a single physical and operational environment. Notes:
This new Statement of Direction supersedes the previous ESCON SOD in Announcement letter 110170 of July 22, 2010. It also confirms the SOD in Announcement letter 109-230 of April 28, 2009 that ESCON Channels will be phased out. This SOD does NOT say that the z10 BC will be the last midrange server to support ESCON channels or the last to offer ESCON channels as an orderable feature.
*All statements regarding IBM's plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice. Any reliance on these statements of general direction is at the relying party's sole risk and will not create liability or obligation for IBM.
