3 zSeries Overview T echnology has always accelerated the pace of change. New technologies enable new ways of doing business, shifting markets, changing customer expectations, redefi n- ing business models. Each major enhancement to technol- ogy presents opportunities.
4 The variable data center needs to be able to respond to the ever changing demands that occur when you sup- port multiple diverse workloads as a single entity . It must respond to maintain the quality of service r equired and the cost of utilizing the resour ces must refl ect the changing environment.
5 z/Arc hitecture The zSeries is based on the z/Architectur e ™ , which is designed to reduce bottlenecks associated with the lack of addressable memory and automatically directs r esources to priority work through Intelligent Resour ce Director (IRD).

8 As with the z990, an improvement to the I/O subsystem has been introduced on the z890 to “br eak the barrier” of the 256 CHPIDs per Channel Subsystem. Horizontal growth is pr ovided by allowing the defi nition of two Logical Channel SubSystems (LCSSs) each capable of supporting up to 256 CHPIDs, giving a total of 512 CHPIDs per z890 server .
9 ups and operations. Any unused PUs can be utilized as spares. The inactive PUs on the MCM ar e available to be characterized as either Central Processors (CPs), Internal Coupling Facility (ICF) proc.
10 The z890 offers a single model, the A04 and supports a wide perfor mance range from sub uni models up to a 4- way multiprocessor . The z890 offers 7 general purpose CP sizes (1 full perfor mance plus 6 sub uni's). Each engine size is available in 2-way , 3-way and 4-way multiproces- sors.
11 IFL or ICF is installed on the permanent machine with the restrictions that a) additional engines, of each type, cannot exceed the number of installed permanent engines of that same type and b) adding engines cannot exceed the physical limit of the installed machine.
12 Although Capacity BackUp (CBU) and On/Off Capacity on Demand can both reside on the server , the activation of On/Off Capacity on Demand is mutually exclusive with CBU and no physical hardwar e upgrade will be supported while On/Off Capacity on Demand is active.
13 The IBM z890 is the latest member of the zSeries family . The design of the z890 is a continuation of the major change in the direction of the zSeries platform started with the IBM ^ zSeries 990.
14 MSUs and SRM constants. The z990 default mixed work- load will be composed of equal amounts of fi ve workloads, T rade2-EJB, WEB/CICS/DB2, IMS, CB84 and CBW2. Addi- tionally , the z890/z990 LSPR will rate all z/Architecture pr o- cessors running in LP AR mode and 64-bit mode.
15 z890 Logical Channel SubSystems (LCSSs) and support for Greater than 15 Logical Partitions (LP ARs) The z890 I/O subsystem is a breakthr ough in connectivity by providing up to 2 LCSS per server , and each LCSS can support up to 256 CHPIDs when exploitation software is installed.
16 Normal Multiple Image Facility (MIF) sharing of a chan- nel is confi ned to a single LCSS. The z890 supports the spanning of the channels types: IC, HiperSockets, FICON Express, FICON Expr ess2, OSA-Express, OSA-Expr ess2, ISC-3s and ICBs (ICB-3 and ICB-4).
17 long wavelength (LX) and short wavelength (SX) features, though the LX and SX cannot be intermixed on a single feature. Note, the maximum quantity of FICON Expr ess, OSA-Express, PCICA, and PCIXCC featur es in combina- tion cannot exceed 20 features per server .
18 The on demand operating environment r equires fast data access, continuous data availability , and improved fl exibil- ity all with lower cost of ownership.
19 is the case with ESCON), but will also support multiple device defi nitions. For example, ESCON channels that ar e dedicated as CTC cannot communicate with any other device, whereas native FICON (FC) channels ar e not dedi- cated to CTC only .
20 attachability means that customers have more choices for new storage solutions, or may have the ability to use existing storage devices, thus helping to leverage exist- ing investments and lower total cost of ownership for their Linux implementation.
21 image. A system confi guration using FCP LUN Access Control may signifi cantly reduce the number of FCP chan- nels (FICON Express featur es) that are needed to pr ovide controlled access to the data on FCP SCSI devices. FCP LUN Access Control complements the zoning and LUN masking schemes that exist in open storage environments.
22 FICON Express2 of fers new packaging with increased connectivity in the same amount of physical space. Increased performance is also possible with FICON Express2. This r efresh of technology can help to satisfy your server consolidation connectivity requir ements, and may help to reduce the number of I/O featur es requir ed for consolidation.
23 Concurrent Update The FICON Express2 SX and LX featur es may be added to an existing z890 concurrently . This concurrent update capability allows you to continue to run workloads through other channels while the new FICON Express2 featur es are being added.
24 A new generation of zSeries LAN adapters is being deliv- ered, as well as a 10 Gigabit Ethernet feature. This update of technology , referred to as OSA-Expr ess2, can help to satisfy the bandwidth demands of your applications.
25 • 640 TCP/IP stacks • Concurrent LIC update • SC Duplex connector • Single mode fi ber (9 micron) • An unrepeated distance of up to 10 km (6.2 miles) Checksum Offl oad is supported in the z/OS, z/OS.e and Linux on zSeries environments. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) feature does not support auto-negotiation to any other speed.
26 OSA-Express2 concurrent LIC update – an av ailability enhancement The OSA-Express2 featur es have increased memory in comparison to the OSA-Express featur es and are designed to be able to facili.
27 With the introduction of the z890, the OSA-Expr ess Adapter family of Local Area Network (LAN) featur es is offering a maximum of 20 featur es per system, versus the maximum of 12 features per system on prior genera- tions, expanding the z890 balanced solution to increase throughput and r esponsiveness in an on demand oper - ating environment.
28 The new Checksum offl oad support on the 1000BASE-T Ethernet feature, when operating in QDIO mode at gigabit speed, is designed to offl oad z/OS 1.
29 The new Checksum offl oad support on these z890 features is designed to offl oad z/OS 1.5 and Linux TCP/IP stack pr o- cessing of Checksum packet headers for TCP , IP and UDP . NON-QDIO operational mode The OSA-Express 1000BASE-T Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and T oken-Ring also support the non-QDIO mode of operation.
30 Note: OSA-Express 155 A TM and OSA-2 FDDI are no longer supported. If A TM or FDDI support are still requir ed, a multiprotocol switch or r outer with the appropriate net- work interface for example, 1000BASE-T Ether net, GbE LX or GbE SX can be used to provide connectivity between the LAN and the A TM network or FDDI LAN.
31 offl oad). Large send can impr ove per formance by offl oad- ing outbound TCP segmentation processing fr om the host to OSA-Express2 by employing a mor e effi cient memory transfer into OSA-Express2. The z/OS Communications Server support is planned for TCP/IP IPv4 traffi c only and z/OS and z/OS.
32 HiperSockets does not use an external network, therefore, it can free up system and network r esources, helping to reduce attachment cost while impr oving availability and perfor mance.
33 HiperSockets broadcast support for IPv4 packets – Linux, z/OS, z/VM: Internet Protocol V ersion 4 (IPv4) broadcast packets are now supported over HiperSockets internal LANs.
34 and microcode design will support almost all of the past Cryptographic functions that were provided on the zSeries 800 and 900 via the CMOS Cryptographic Coprocessor (CCF) and the PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor (PCICC).
35 A third generation Cryptographic feature – Cr ypto Express2 Crypto Express2 features support for on demand business in a security-rich environment. Crypto Express2 provides the functions of PCICA and PCIXCC in a single feature that is expected to pr ovide improved secur e key and system throughput.
36 – A mixture of both secur e and clear key applications can run on the same Crypto Express2 feature – Based on the increased thr oughput, the ability to con- solidate both secure key and clear k.
37 2048-bit key RSA management support for the PCICC fea- tures on z800 and z900 is transpar ent to the hardwar e and is supported by z/OS, z/OS.e, z/VM, and Linux on zSeries. z/VM and Linux on zSeries offer support for clear key oper - ations only . Refer to the Software requir ements section for further infor mation.
38 z890 Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) Capacity Upgrade on Demand allows for the nondisruptive addition of additional Central Processor (CP) Capacity , Internal Coupling Facilities (ICFs), Integrated Facility for Linux (IFLs) and/or IBM ^ zSeries Application Assist Processor (zAAP).
39 needs of the larger CBU target machine. When capacity is needed in an emergency , the primar y operation perfor med is activating the emergency CBU confi guration with the reserved PUs added into the confi guration as CPs.
40 T ransparent Sparing z890 offers a 5 PU MCM in the case of pr ocessor failure. If there is a spar e PU available it will be used for transparent sparing.
41 Sparing for Storage Protect K eys : The r obust confi guration of the Storage Protect Keys has been enhanced with chip sparing. Already a triple-array with parity pr otection and voting, the Key structure for z890 has added sparing, simi- lar to Main Memory chip sparing, to fur ther enhance the availability of this critical function.
42 Although there is a signifi cant value in a single footprint and multi-footprint environment with r esource sharing, those customers looking for high availability must move on to a database data sharing confi guration.
43 – ICF Expansion into shared CPs. A CF partition running with dedicated ICFs needing processing capacity beyond what is available with the dedicated CP ICFs, can “grow” into the shar ed pool of application CPs being used to execute zSeries applications on the same server .
44 Parallel Sysplex Coupling Connectivity The Coupling Facilities communicate with z/OS images in the Parallel Sysplex environment over specialized high-speed links. For availability purposes, it is recom- mended that there be at least two links connecting each z/OS image to each CF in a Parallel Sysplex cluster .
45 z890 and z990 Theoretical Maximum Coupling Link Speed • ISC-3. InterSystem Coupling Facility-3 channels provide the connectivity requir ed for resour ce or data sharing between the Coupling Facility and the systems directly attached to it.
46 • IC. The Internal Coupling channel emulates the Coupling links providing connectivity between images within a single server . No hardware is r equired, however a minimum of 2 CHPID numbers must be defi ned in the IOCDS. IC links provide the fastest Parallel Sysplex con- nectivity .
47 devices. With z/OS and the zSeries, paths may be dynami- cally assigned to control units to r efl ect the I/O load. For example, in an environment wher e an installation normally requir es four ch.
