1.0 Purpose and Description for DR 26W (CPC System Code EC
F99939 with HMC System Code F99938)
1.1.1 Overview of Customer and/or Service Enhancements
Driver 26W (CPC system code EC F99939 with HMC system code EC F99938)
includes the following customer and/or service enhancements for the subject
systems:
Engineering change (EC) considerations for:
– CPC EC F99918 + MCLs
– HMC EC F99933 + MCLs
For the S/390 9672 G6 Servers
For the S/390 9672 G5 Servers
For earlier 9672/9674/2003/3000/7060 Models
HSA considerations
Input/output configuration program (IOCP) considerations
Preventive service planning (PSP) bucket considerations
Important
This statement of enhancements assumes that the customer has all the
necessary hardware and software prerequisites and corequisites. EC support
for features does not include the feature itself.
1.1.2 Engineering Change (EC) Considerations
CPC system code EC F99939 with HMC system code EC F99938. for S/390
Parallel Enterprise Server - Generations 5 and 6 includes the following Central
Processor Complex (CPC) and Hardware Management Console (HMC) Licensed
Internal Code (LIC) engineering change (EC) and Microcode Load (MCL) levels:
CPC level: EC F99918 + MCLs
HMC level: EC F99933 + MCLs
HMC system code EC F99938 for the S/390 Multiprise 3000 Enterprise Server,
Parallel Enterprise Server - Generations 3 and 4, Coupling Facility Models C01 C05, Multiprise 2000, Application StarterPak, Parallel Enterprise Server - RN1,
RN2, RN3 Models, and Parallel Transaction Server models includes the following
Hardware Management Console (HMC) Licensed Internal Code (LIC) engineering
change (EC) and Microcode Load (MCL) levels:
HMC level: EC F99933 + MCLs
To verify that the enhancements described in this document apply to your system,
display the LIC EC levels running on the CPC and the HMC.
1.1.2.1 CPC EC F99918 + MCLs
You can display the LIC EC and MCL level of the system’s CPC as follows:
1. Select the CPC
2. Drag and drop the CPC onto the System Information object in the Change
Management Tasks list.
1
A list of CPC EC levels and (activated) MCL levels displays. Verify that EC
level F99918 is in this list.
1.1.2.2 HMC EC F99933 + MCLs
You can display the LIC EC and MCL level of the system’s HMC as follows:
1. Open (double-click on) the Console Actions object
2. Open (double-click on) the View Console Information object
A list of HMC EC levels and (activated) MCL levels displays. Verify that EC
level F99933 is in this list.
1.1.3 For the S/390 9672 G6 Servers
EC F99939 and EC F99938 will be applied to the Support Elements and Hardware
Management Consoles respectively on all new builds of these models. It is also
available as an upgrade to the Support Elements and Hardware Management
Consoles on existing models.
1.1.3.1 Reserved CP Support in LPAR Mode
With Reserved CP Support in LPAR mode, a logical partition (LP) may be defined
with the number of logical CP's greater than the number of physical CP's.
Reserved CPs can be specified for the logical partition definition beyond the
number of physical CPs currently installed on the model. Therefore, an enterprise
planning to do a non-disruptive upgrade (with an LPAR defined of logical CP's
equal to the number of physical CP's) does not need to deactivate, redefine, then
reactivate in order to take advantage of the new CP's that have been installed.
The enterprise simply needs to have defined reserved CPs for the LPAR in
advance. This insures that any planned logical partition can be as large as the
possible physical machine configuration, nondisruptively.
1.1.3.2 Capacity Back-Up (CBU) Enhancements
Capacity BackUp capability enables enterprises to provide flexible, cost-effective
Disaster Recovery on their S/390 servers. A Special Bid Contract for CBU must be
approved before the CBU features can be ordered. This contract is required and
the model must be configured for the system when additional capacity is invoked.
Both memory and channel requirements must be planned in advance and should
already be in the configuration prior to the test or CBU being invoked.
CBU Automatic Enablement
The G5/G6 server will call home via RSF, verify authorization, and
automatically unlock the increased server capacity.
CBU Smart Reactivation
CBU Smart Reactivation reduces potential outage duration, during a disaster
event, if an MCM needs to be changed (while CBU is activated).
Expedited Install/Bringup time for CBU Implementation
Expedited Install/Bringup time for CBU Implementation enables installations to
copy Activation and SAD profiles at anytime and restore them at anytime. CBU
Licensed Internal Code is now associated to a specific server serial number
which protects the installation from erroneous CBU activation on the wrong
server.
Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS)
2
P and D
Automatic enablement of capacity backup for the Geographically Dispersed
Parallel Sysplex (CBU-GDPS) enables automatic management of the additional
CPs provided by the CBU feature in the event of a processor failure and/or a
site failure.
GDPS, upon detection of a site failure or planned disaster test, will "call home",
via the Remote Support Facility (RSF). This will trigger an automatic
verification of CBU contract, which in turn initiates automatic sending of the
password to the customer, automatic unlocking of the target configuration, and
automatic varying on of the additional CPs. Thus GDPS is able to dynamically
add reserved PUs to the processors in the takeover site to restore processing
power for the mission critical production applications.
1.1.3.3 CBU 2 Test Record Support
The CBU LICCC record/support will be enhanced such that one CBU record will
provide support for:
one real CBU Activate for 90 days
five tests, each test for 10 days
This new CBU support will still have only two LICCC records on the system: the
Base LICCC and the CBU LICCC (providing real and test CBU activation).
1.1.3.4 CBU Information Display
Since one CBU record allows for one CBU activation and multiple test activations,
there is a need to be able to determine the status of the CBU. A new CBU status
panel is provided which shows the following information on request. This panel is
available in all user modes on the SE.
CBU Installed
CBU Activated
If CBU is activated:
– Date of Activation
– Date of Expiration
How many CBU tests are left
Is the real CBU activation available (has it been used yet)
1.1.3.5 PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor
The PCI Cryptographic Coprocesser (PCICC) card is an orderable feature that adds
additional cryptographic function and cryptographic performance to G6 servers.
Each PCICC feature is built around an IBM 4758-2 PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor
card embedded in an adapter package for installing within a G6 server. Support for
PCICC will be provided by OS/390 V2R9 with new ICSF functions. The PCI
Cryptographic Coprocessor feature will coexist and augment the Integrated
Cryptographic Coprocessor that is standard on G6 servers. ICSF will transparently
route application requests for cryptographic services to one of the integrated
cryptographic engines. Either an integrated CMOS Cryptographic Coprocessor or a
PCICC will be invoked (depending on performance or cryptographic function) to
perform the cryptographic operation. For example, the integrated CMOS
Cryptographic Coprocessor performs synchronous functions (such as used in the
Triple DES standard) but does not execute certain asynchronous functions such as
RSA Key Generation - which will be performed on the PCICC. Up to 8 PCICC
3
features can be ordered to provide increasing cryptographic processing capacity as
a customer expands their usage of e-business applications requiring cryptographic
processing.
New Functions
PCICC provides several additional functions to enhance the security of
public/private key encryption processing:
RSA Key generation for public/private key pair generation
2048-bit RSA signature generation
Retained Key support (RSA private keys generated and kept stored within the
secure hardware boundary)
1.1.3.6 QDIO Support for OSA-Express FENET and 155 ATM In
Ethernet LAN Simulation
If the feature is defined in the Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) or IOCP as
CHPID type “OSE”, SNA and IP traffic can flow through the port. This requires the
OSA Address Table to be built manually using the S/390 Open Systems Adapter
Support Facility (OSA/SF). If the feature is defined in the HCD or IOCP as CHPID
type “OSD”, only IP traffic will flow through the port and the OAT is built
dynamically.
Note: OSA/SF is still needed for the definition of the emulated/logical ports in the
OSA-Express 155 ATM feature.
The OSA-Express GbE uses only CHPID type OSD. The OSA-Express 155 ATM
feature can use type OSD when configured for Ethernet LAN emulation. The
OSA-Express FENET feature can support IP traffic as channel type OSD.
1.1.3.7 LP-to-LP Communication
The OSA-Express FENET feature has the ability to send and receive IP traffic
between Logical Partitions (LPs) without sending the IP packets out to the LAN and
then back in to the destination LP. LP-to-LP communication makes possible
routing of IP packets within the same host system. The OSA-Express FENET
feature will examine the destination IP address; if the destination is on the same
host system, the IP packets will be routed to that IP address without sending the IP
packets out to the LAN and then back in again (ignoring the fact that the source
and destination hardware address are the same). Any application that requires
traffic to flow LP-to-LP on the same system can benefit from this support.
1.1.3.8 Fast Sync/DataMover Facility
ADMF was invented to improve storage-to-storage movement of large blocks of
data. The continued evolution of CMOS processor and memory technology in
G5/G6 has improved synchronous data movement using the Move Page instruction
to the point where its performance is on a par with ADMF.
The Fast Sync Data Mover Facility will be implemented on G5/G6 and future
processors as an indicator to DB2 that Move Page should be used in place of
ADMF. DB2 will be issuing a PTF to check for this indicator and use Move Page
instead of ADMF. DB2 will continue to use ADMF on pre-G5 machines. DB2
without the PTF will also continue to use ADMF on G5/G6.

1.1.3.9 Desktop On Call
Single object operation is available through the browser interface as is access to
other applications on the Hardware Management Consoles by selecting “Remote
Entire Hardware Management Console Desktop” on the Hardware Management
Console home page. Only one browser may control the “entire desktop” at a time.
1.1.3.10 E4 Archived Log Conversion to ASCII File
A new function is offered on the View Security Logs panel which will convert the
binary E4 log to an ASCII format. When provided in ASCII format, an editor can be
used to view and search the archived ASCII log.
1.1.3.11 Export/Import Profiles By Hardware Management
Console Customer
Export/import profile support has been extended to allow the user to export/import
files to:
SE diskette (as today)
Hardware Management Console diskette
SE harddisk
If the user is logged on locally to the SE and Export/import to diskette is requested,
the SE diskette drive will be used. If the user is logged onto the Hardware
Management Console and is using Single Object Operations (DCAF) and the
diskette option is chosen, then the Hardware Management Console diskette drive
will be used. If the SE harddisk is chosen, then one of four areas can be selected
to export/import data to.
1.1.3.12 HMC/SE Relationship File Enhancements
The HMC/SE relationship file will contain additional information to support the
Support Center in providing system service. This information will include:
company voice communications phone number
company modem communications phone number
remote operations enabled indicator
HMC name
Modem server indicator
HMC modem connection indicator
1.1.3.13 HMC Reassignment to New Machine S/N
This function changes the association of the Hardware Management Console S/N
to a different Central Processor Complex.
1.1.3.14 Support for 288K HSA Subchannels
Prior levels supported 80K HSA subchannels. Now 288K HSA subchannels are
supported. 36K subchannels remains the limit for a logical partition and for Basic
Mode. See also 1.1.7, “Hardware System Area (HSA)” on page 9 for info on how
this may effect HSA.

1.1.3.15 Loading Linux and Other Programs
This task loads system software or utility programs from and CD-ROM drive or from
an FTP server. You can choose to load from the Hardware Management Console
F: drive (CD-ROM), from a local CD-ROM drive, from and FTP server, or from any
drive on the local system.
1.1.3.16 New Supporting Reference Documentation
Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) Planning Guide
A CUoD Planning Guide is available which provides S/390 installations with a
roadmap to implement Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD). The guide
describes model capacity decisions within IBM's G5/G6 "tower" philosophy,
necessary Licensed Internal Code requirements, PR/SM configuration tips, and
many other planning considerations derived from customer “hands-on” planning
of CUoD. The guide includes a “Summary Final Checklist” as a cross check to
your plan.
CBU Customer Reference document
Emergency Backup/Capacity Backup User's Guide (form number: GC38-0612)
is an aid for personnel involved in the planning of Emergency Backup
(EBU)/Capacity Backup (CBU) function. The document is comprised of two
sections: Main and Appendix. The Main section is oriented to IBM's support
personnel. The Appendix is provided to IBM customers for EBU/CBU ordering
and planning activities. Copies may be ordered through your IBM
Representative.
1.1.3.17 36 FICON Channel Capability

1.1.4.17 CUoD Available on Model R06
Licensed Internal Code (LIC) allows engines to be added dynamically to the R06
and to the LPARs which are running the CF Control Code (CFCC). Points to
remember:
more horsepower will also need more link bandwidth.
Coupling Facility receiver channels cannot be dynamically added to the system.
Therefore, they must be pre-installed (all the receiver links the installation would
require in support of more engines.)

1.1.7 Hardware System Area (HSA)
The G5 and G6 systems support 288K HSA subchannels with a 36K per image
limit for LPAR mode. The subchannel capabilities affect HSA storage requirements
to accomodate the associated configuration. Because of the 288K HSA
subchannel capability, using a large expansion percentage when enabling for
dymanic I/O changes will have an additional impact on the size of HSA even
when no configuration changes have been made. Maximum HSA size may
