
810 Upgrades are lower priced to 525 than 520 (especially if you don’t need
unlimited users)
– Small 810s may “fit into” a 515 – MUCH lower cost than an upgrade

520 1.65 Ghz (Power5) to 525 significantly less expensive than to 520 1.9 Ghz


For 150 users or less

Using a 525 CBU as a reason to Upgrade the “Primary”
 810 CANNOT be the Primary to a 525 CBU
– If you want a 525 CBU, you’ll need to upgrade the 810 first
– Upgrades from 810 and 520 non-CBU to 525 CBU do NOT exist
 520 as primary to 525 CBU will require additional user entitlements on the 525 CBU
– CBU user entitlements purchased at time of initial 525 CBU order or upgrade are lower priced
– 525 has user entitlements that can temporarily transfer to the 525 CBU
 Consider upgrading the 520 to a 525 (instead of buying lots of entitlements for a 525 CBU)
NOW get a
$2,000 rebate
(US $) when you

after purchasing or

520/550 memory
 DDR2 Required for POWER5+ model 520
 DDR1 Required for POWER5 model 520
– DDR2 memory faster MHz
– Can NOT mix earlier DDR1 memory with new DDR2 memory
– DDR2 memory benefits vs DDR1
• Modest Contribution to higher performance ratings
• More 520/550 memory feature granularity
• Can save memory slots due to fewer DIMMs per feature

 9405-520 Express only shipped from IBM as Deskside
 9406-520/550 must choose either Deskside or Rackmount
Deskside-to-rackmount is an MES order (Customer Set Up)
Note: rackmount specify includes fixed depth rails for 28” deep
racks (IBM rack’s rails are 28” deep)
But if have OEM rack which is deeper than 28-inch, then Also order

 Smart IOA benefits include
– Avoiding cost of IOP and PCI slot to hold IOP
– Configuration flexibility including simpler LPAR I/O
 POWER5 or later system prerequisite

Mirroring
If not mirroring disk controllers, aux write cache makes sense
IBM eServer iSeries
Embedded 520/550/570 I/O controller
 No feature code designates this controller. One is embedded in each
520/550/570 CEC/processor enclosure. It drives the tape drive, DVD drive
and disk drives* in the CEC/processor enclosure.
(It is for this controller that the 5709/5726/5727/5728 RAID Enabler card
augments the controller with write cache, increasing disk performance)
 1.5 GHz/1.65 GHz system embedded controller requires an IOP in the
CEC/processor enclosure to enable this controller.
 1.9 GHz/2.2 GHz system embedded controller is IOP-less capable.
– If an IOP is present in the CEC, the embedded controller runs in IOP-based
mode.
– If an IOP is not present then
• If a 1.9 GHz 520 running V5R3 , then can run IOP-less
• If a 1.9/2.2 GHz 520/550/570 running V5R4, then can run IOP-less
* The 520/550 CEC can split the 8 disk slots into two groups of 4 disk slots and drive the second set of disk with a
different disk controller. The six disk slots of the 570 are always driven by just the embedded controller.

Write cache for integrated CEC disk controller
 Either with IOP or IOP-less
 #5727/#5728
– 40MB write cache (enhances disk performance)
– RAID-5 enablement
(minimum of 3 disk)
– Recommended for 520/550/570 with mirroring (for performance)
– No PCI-X slots required (uses special CEC internal slot)
– Augments imbedded CEC controller for disk in CEC – no impact to
DVD or tape performance
– Essentially the same as #5709/5726 in 1.5/1.65GHz systems
If the customer has over 3-4 disk drives or if disk drives are busy, this can really help performance
69
#5727 Integrated Cache – 40 MB
#5728 Integrated Cache – 40 MB
 For model 520/550
 Use instead of #5709 – same
performance if same 40 MB size
 #9510 is no-charge feature for
Express Configurations with RAID
 For model 570
 Use instead of #5709/#5726 – same
performance if same 40 MB size
 Required if using more than three

IOA located in same I/O tower/drawer
 Auxiliary write cache must be equal or larger in size than disk controller’s write
cache
 Provides a redundant write cache for additional reliability
– In case the large cache disk controller fails and its cache is damaged
– When controller is replaced, cache contents recovered from auxiliary write cache
– NOTE … does not protect against failing controller ability to take the system
down, but does protect against extended outage if controller’s cache fails
 No disk system performance impact anticipated by IOA
 Not a disk controller itself, its only function is write cache backup

IBM TotalStorage 3494 Virtual Tape Server
 The IBM TotalStorage Virtual Tape Server™ (VTS) is an enterprise tape
solution designed to enhance performance and provide the capacity
required for today ’s backup requirements. The adoption of this solution
can help reduce batch processing time, total cost of ownership and
management cost. A VTS Peer-to-Peer (PtP) configuration can provide
redundancy for greater disaster tolerance and help fulfill business
continuity requirements.
Highlights:
– Reduce operating costs, such as power, maintenance, and operations
and support staff
– Improve operational quality
– Improve tape data availability
– Provide fast access to data
– Provide remote dual copy for use with Geographically Dispersed
Parallel Sysplex (GDPS), disaster backup and recovery and remote
tape vault
– Reduce floor space consumed by tape operations
– Increase the level of tape automation
– Reduce the backup window
– Share data between diverse servers
