1 AIX & Power Software Trends Jay Kruemcke IBM facebook.com/ibmpowervc LinkedIn PowerVC group All statements regarding IBM's future direction and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice, and represent goals and objectives only

2 7.2 Next Generation Live Update Replace entire AIX kernel Server-based flash caching bos.net.tcp.client restructuring POWER7 and POWER8 support 3

3 AIX 7.2 Next Generation AIX Live Update Technology Live update of AIX Kernel with no reboot or application outage Interim fixes only Can be applied on a running system either with the geninstall command or a NIM push from a NIM master or pull from a NIM client. CEC Original LPAR Running Workload Live Migration Surrogate LPAR Running Workload Original Kernel Original rootvg VSCSI Virt. ent New rootvg (Alt-disk-install) VIOS SEA VSCSI Virt. ent Original rootvg mirror Updated Kernel VSCSI New rootvg (Alt-disk-install) Project Requirements Use existing maintenance model and administrative tools (NIM, emgr, installp) Start with live AIX kernel replacement for i-fixes, then in future extend to SPs and possibly TLs Long term goal is to provide non-disruptive updates for all of AIX (kernel, commands, and Libs)

4 AIX 7.2 Server Based Flash Caching Server Workload I/O APIs (File System, Device, etc.) Flash Cache Engine Flash / SSD Server caches SAN data in server attached flash (SSD, PCI-Card, SAS attached drawer, etc.) Caching is transparent, no required application changes Potential benefits are performance (more transactions, reduced response time), and/or improved scale and efficiency of SAN infrastructure via SAN off-load SAN LUN LUN LUN Provides storage agnostic caching solution integrated into AIX Supports virtualization features such as Live Partition Mobility

5 AIX 7.2 Server Flash Cache Deployments Dedicated Cache SSD uses dedicated flash LUN Not LPM capable Virtualized SSD cache management pool maintained in VIOS Client LPAR utilizes VSCSI interface to VIOS LPM capable LPAR hdisk CM Cache engine vcache LPAR hdisk CM Cache engine vcache VIOS Cache mgt LVM cmpool cmpart hdisk FC DD SSD Cache DD PowerVM FC SSD adapter adapter VFC DD VSCSI Client DD VSCSI Server PowerVM FC DD SSD Cache DD FC SSD adapter adapter SSD SSD SAN SAN Disks Disks

6 AIX 7.2 bos.net.tcp.client re-packaging Goal: Reduce the need to patch unnecessary packages All the new split-out packages are installed by default. User may remove the individual (split-out) packages if no other packages require them. Once removed, those packages will not be installed/updated during future TL or SP updates. If customers have installp packages dependent on any of the three filesets, they will need to update the pre-req for AIX 7.2. All statements regarding IBM's future direction and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice, and represent goals and objectives only.

7 AIX 7.2 Code Removal and LPP Changes No support for POWER6, POWER5, or POWER4 Additional Code Removals from AIX 7.2 NIS+ NDAF IBM Virtual Shared Disk (rsct.vsd) IBM Systems Director Components; pconsole Selected old adapters IP over FC driver Fcparray head driver graphigs Java 5 Bos.INed Obsolete locales Selected performance toolbox components & eclipse2.rte, including bos.perf.gtools and performance workbench GUI 8

8 AIX 7.2 Removal of Trusted Computing Base Remove Trusted Computing Base Rationale: Since AIX6.1, Trusted Execution (TE) is available and it's part of base AIX. TE is a more powerful and enhanced mechanism that overlaps some of the TCB functionality and provides advance security policies to better control the integrity of the system. Some key AIX features like WPAR is not supported with TCB To disable Trusted Computing Base: odmget -q attribute=tcb_state PdAt sed 's/tcb_enabled/tcb_disabled/' odmchange -o PdAt -q attribute=tcb_state "odmget -q attribute=tcb_state PdAt" Can be run before and after running above command to ensure that state is indeed had changed. 9

9 AIX 7.2 Additional changes and enhancements Other changes CIFS Client move it to the AIX Expansion Pack and provide the CIFS client with "as-is" support only. JFS Classic : Remove as an install option; function would remain in AIX 7.2 and continue to be supported Include DSO features in base OS (bos.aso) no separate LPP on AIX 7.2 LPPs not supported on AIX 7.2 Fast Connect Performance Toolbox PowerSC Trusted Surveyor not supported on AIX 7.2 as management server OpenSSH is being added to the Bos Install menus HTTPD support in NIM 10

10 AIX 7.2 NIM HTTP Option for Client Pull Installation Benefits of using http download access Communication occurs over a single http port, easy firewall management Secure transactions use digest authentication methods (TLS v1.0/1.1/1.2) Actions are driven from the client's end (the install target), no host access required How does it work? The HTTP service is an embedded http service option in NIM. The service is dynamic, binds to a well-known port, and exists only when resources are being remotely served. IPv4 and IPv6 environments are supported What is supported? NIM scripting customization Fileset install, bundle install Limitations No support for network boot No support for NIM BOS installation No support for Thin Server provisioning 11

11 LVM Mirroring to Flash for Enhanced Performance (7.1 TL4 & 7.2) Application File System Primary Storage (lv1) Writes AIX LVM LVM Mirroring Preferred Read Path LVM Mirror (lv1) Flash Based Storage (SAN or direct attached) New LVM mirroring policy to direct all reads to a specific mirror Allows LVM mirror to be used as fast copy for improved read performance Off-loads primary storage resources Potentially improving the overall performance of the storage environment Example commands mklv y lv1 c 2 R 2 vg1 100 chlv R 1 lv1 lslv lv1 (will show the preferred read copy)

28 PowerVM Focus Areas PowerVM Systems Management Live Partition Mobility PowerVM Virtual Networking Enterprise Linux Cloud Shared processor pool weighting consistency

29 Shared Processor Pools Weighting Enhancement Scenario - Shared Processor Pool with 4 cores of capacity - Two VMs/LPARs, Uncapped, each with 1/10 core Entitled Capacity & 4 Virtual Processors - Since there is no contention in the shared processor pool, all 8 VPs can run simultaneously Before Firmware Uncapped weight was ONLY considered when there is contention on physical cores for CPU - When each partition consumes 2.0 processor units, pool cap kicks in and suspends both VMs until next dispatch window After Firmware 840 -The hypervisor considers the weight even on an unloaded system resulting in the Production workload (VM2) receiving the bulk (3.862) of processor capacity Prior to Firmware 840 After Firmware 840 Client Expectation VM1 = EC /100 of capacity VM2 = EC /100 of capacity Reality VM1 = EC /2 of capacity VM2 = EC /2 of capacity Client Expectation VM1 = EC /100 of capacity VM2 = EC /100 of capacity Reality VM1 = EC /99 of capacity VM2 = EC /100 of capacity

34 Shared Storage Pool (2H2015) Storage tiers - Quality of Service and Isolation Bind workloads to specific tiers QoS: segregate workloads based on performance requirements (fast, medium, slow) Redundancy: may choose to mirror some tiers, but not others Isolation: LPARs 1-3 use storage from tiera, while LPARs 4-6 use tierb Live storage mobility (move workloads / virtual devices between tiers). 10 Tiers per storage pool Grow LU Dynamically resize an LU, while the LPAR is active Grow capacity on demand 36
