1 Hardware Announcement November 13, 2001 IBM Cluster 1600 and RS/6000 SP Switch2 Features and Adapters Expand IBM s Cluster Technology Overview The IBM Cluster 1600 extends and enhances IBM s innovative and proven AIX and RS/6000 SP clustering technologies. The Cluster 1600, machine type 9078 Model 160, includes both the legacy SP system and new clusters made up of IBM pseries servers. A new release of Parallel System Support Programs for AIX 5L (PSSP) will extend cluster management to include a broader range of cluster-ready servers. New attachment adapters for the SP Switch2 will allow more pseries servers to take advantage of its high-performance, high-bandwidth, server-to-server communications. Benefits include: Cost-effective management of your IT infrastructure Anytime, anywhere access to business-critical data and applications IT infrastructure adaptability to meet the ever-changing demands of your business Extreme scalability (Terabytes of data, billions of Web transactions, trillions of floating-point operations) Investment protection through the coexistence of old and new technology Existing RS/6000 SP customers can expand their systems with improved software and new SP Switch2 adapters. New customers can buy a cluster of mid-range or high-end servers, or a mix of the two. All Cluster 1600 servers are managed by a new release of PSSP, the same single-point-of-control software used by the RS/6000 SP system. PSSP cluster configurations will improve current SP capabilities of high-performance, server-to-server interconnect and processor performance employing the following improvements: SP Switch2 two-plane configurations are designed to improve performance and RAS characteristics across the switch fabric. SP Switch2 PCI Attachment Adapter allows connection of legacy and new PCI-based servers to the SP Switch2. You can add more pseries servers to take advantage of high-performance, high-bandwidth, server-to-server communications. Support for up to two SP Switch2 PCI Attachment Adapters in each server for two-plane configurations. PSSP cluster configurations are supported with the SP Switch, the SP Switch2, or no switch. Rack-mount, multiple SP Switch2s within the new 9076 Model 556 frame to improve machine-room efficiencies when more than one SP Switch2 is required for a cluster. SP Switch2 MX2 Adapter allows connection of 332 MHz SMP Thin and Wide Nodes, POWER3 SMP Thin and Wide Nodes, and 375 MHz POWER3 SMP Thin and Wide Nodes (single-plane) to the SP Switch2 fabric. Key Prerequisites The 9076 Model 556 requires a minimum of two clustered RS/6000 or pseries servers and a supported control workstation.

2 Description IBM e(logo)server Cluster 1600 The Cluster 1600 introduces a single cluster serial number. Feature numbers are available for each of the currently available pseries or RS/6000 cluster servers or cluster switches: 7017-S S M H H RS/6000 SP 9076 MODEL 556 The RS/6000 SP 9076 Model 556 allows connectivity of the clustered RS/6000 or pseries servers to the SP Switch2 without the need for an SP internal node. Up to 32 RS/6000 or the pseries servers may be clustered in the switched environment. These environments add server interaction through the higher switched bandwidth. With PSSP Version 3.4, switch-to-switch connectivity between the and legacy (across the SP Switch2) is supported. The Model 556 is a 75-inch tall frame with 10.5 kw power. A separate order of the SP Switch2 is required for the frame. Additional orders of the SP Switch2 for a total of up to four switches are available to support up to 32 servers in a two-plane SP Switch2 environment.
