What happens if you need more than one server to handle your hundreds or thousands of users? How do you handle the demand for instant messaging, shared-access team rooms, and collaborative applications? If you dedicate a server to each and every application, you probably are going to face the spiraling operational costs of a server farm. iseries for Domino is a different kind of server. It is a server dedicated to running and managing multiple applications together. With its built-in subsystem and logical partitioning technology, iseries for Domino separates mail, instant messaging, and collaborative applications while automatically balancing and adjusting performance. With its proven iseries reputation for robust reliability, iseries for Domino helps you keep your applications available and your users happy. iseries for Domino supports OS/400 V5.2, Lotus Domino, Sametime, QuickPlace, inotes, and other Lotus solutions

7 iseries for Domino Required Server Processor Package Minimum (GB) Domino Licenses MCU Feature Feature Feature DASD Memory Server Client Rating* Model 810: Model 825: * The MCU ratings reflect the capabilities of the processor features. Supporting this number of users would require additional memory and disk, above the minimum amounts included in the basic configurations. Mail and Calendar Users (MCU): This relative performance measurement is derived by performing mail and calendar functions using Domino and Notes clients. Mail and calendar workload is significantly more complex than Simple Mail Users, another measured workload sometimes quoted. The MCU workload represents users on a Notes client reading, updating, or deleting documents in an database, as well as lookups in the Domino Directory, scheduling calendar appointments, and invitations. Reported values reflect 70% processor utilization to allow for growth and peak loads in excess of customer workload estimates. The server features used for iseries for Domino specify the minimum amount of disk, memory, and Domino licenses required for an initial order. Customers will be required to provide proof of Lotus software licenses. For additional information, click on: domino/dsd.htm Capacity on Demand (permanent and temporary) Every iseries 825, 870, or 890 comes with extra processor capacity built into the server. This extra capacity, available as stand-by processors, can be activated permanently or temporarily. IBM eserver Capacity Upgrade on Demand (permanent) lets you grow processor capacity as your needs grow. IBM eserver On/Off Capacity on Demand (temporary**) provides great flexibility in meeting the peak demands of your dynamic business. ** This may also be referred to by IBM as Temporary Capacity Upgrade on Demand, Temporary Capacity on Demand, On/Off Capacity Upgrade on Demand, or On/Off Capacity on Demand. Models Supporting Capacity on Demand Processors Model Start-Up Stand-By Total Permanent Capacity: Processor activation features make available the extra processor capacity you need. When one or more activation feature is ordered, an activation code is generated and shipped to you (mailed and posted on the Web). Key the activation code (think of it as a capacity key) into the proper server screen, and your newly activated processors are ready to use. No IPL is required. Assign the permanently activated processors to a partition before use, whether your machine is configured for LPAR or not. Ordering Permanent Capacity Once you decide to permanently activate some of your stand-by processors, you can contact your business partner or IBM representative to order a quantity of processor-on-demand (POD) activation features. Processor Activation Model Feature Feature The IBM manufacturing site receives your order and generates a POD activation code (capacity key) unique to your server. The POD activation code is mailed to you and also posted at: hardware/ondemand 1. New server orders or orders for model-to-model upgrades that result in a new footprint (no vital product data required): For new server purchases or upgrades to a Model 825, 870, or 890, you can include activation features on the order and have stand-by processors activated before the server is shipped. This allows you to customize the performance characteristics of the server. 2. Processor conversions, package conversions, or model-to-model upgrades that do not result in a new footprint (no vital product data required): For these orders, you can include activation features on the order and have your activation code mailed/posted to the Web so it is ready to enter when you have completed your hardware upgrade. You don t need to order a separate MES to permanently activate extra processor capacity as part of a field upgrade for hardware. 3. Orders for activation features (no vital product data required): For orders that do not contain a processor or package features, you do not need to send vital product data to IBM manufacturing before the order for activation features can be scheduled and fulfilled. Additional Information: Step-by-step directions for ordering activation features and the subsequent entering of activation codes can be reviewed in the iseries Capacity on Demand Planning Guide found at: hardware/ondemand Temporary Capacity Can be turned on/off to match your peak periods Allows you to request a variable number of days and a variable number of processors

8 Use processor days of credit (no additional charge) for several purposes Be productive immediately... no IPL, no ordering, no waiting For more information about contracts, registration, and enablement, go to: hardware/ondemand Temporary Capacity Enablement Before requesting temporary capacity on your server, you must enable your server. To do this, order a TCoD Enablement Feature (MES only) and sign the required contracts. The following TCoD enablement features are available: Processor Enablement Model Feature Feature IBM will generate a TCoD enablement code, mail it to you, and post it on the Web for you to retrieve and enter on your server. A TCoD enablement code lets you request up to 192 processor days of temporary capacity. This means, you can make requests for temporary capacity over the life of the machine as long you don t exceed 192 processor days. When the limit is reached, a new TCoD enablement feature must be ordered, and a new TCoD enablement code must be entered. Every time a new TCoD enablement code is entered it will reset the limit of processor days that can be requested to 192. Enable: Step-by-Step Prerequisite 1: Sales channel (IBM Business Partner) must sign the following contract: IBM Business Partner Agreement, Attachment for Temporary Capacity On Demand Prerequisite 2: Sales channel (IBM Business Partner or IBM Direct) must register at the following Web site: hardware/ondemand Step 1: Customer asks sales channel to enable their machine for temporary capacity. Step 2: Customer must complete and sign the following contracts. The sales channel must secure the signing of these contracts and fax a copy to IBM at (customer keeps original). Required: IBM Customer Agreement, Attachment for Temporary Capacity On Demand Required: IBM Supplement for Temporary Capacity On Demand Optional: IBM Addendum for Temporary Capacity On Demand Alternative Reporting Step 3: Sales channel places an order for the TCoD Enablement Feature. Step 4: Sales channel updates their Web site registration data (refer to prerequisite #2 above) with information about the customer machine being enabled for temporary capacity. Note: The order for a TCoD enablement feature will not be fulfilled until this step is completed. Step 5: IBM generates a TCoD enablement code and mails/posts it. Step 6: Customer retrieves the TCoD Enablement Code and applies it to the server using the appropriate DST/SST screen (Enable Temporary System Capacity). Temporary Capacity Requests When you need temporary capacity, simply go to the temporary capacity screen on the server and specify how many of the stand-by (not activated) processors you would like temporarily activated and for how many days you would like them activated. You will be billed for the processor days you request, so it is important to assign the processors to a partition as soon as they are activated to get the full benefit of the temporary capacity. At the end of the temporary period (days you requested), you must make the temporarily activated processors available (LPAR state) to be reclaimed by the server, or you will be billed for any unreturned processor days (per the contract you signed). Request: Step-by-Step 1. Customer goes to temporary capacity screen on the server and specifies the amount and duration of temporary capacity desired (for example, quantity of processors for a duration of days). 2. Customer presses enter, to confirm the request, and the capacity is activated. 3. Customer assigns the temporary capacity to a partition (whether or not the machine is configured for LPAR) to begin using temporary capacity. Temporary Capacity Billing The contract, signed by the customer before receiving the enablement code, requires the customer to report billing data at least once a month (whether there is activity or not). This data is used to determine the proper amount to bill the customer at the end of each TCoD billing period (calendar quarter). Processor days of credit will be applied against any requested and/or unreturned processor days of temporary capacity. This will happen automatically, until they are used. Failure to report billing data during a billing quarter will result in a bill for 90 days of temporary capacity. The sales channel will be notified of customer requests for temporary capacity. As a result, the sales channel is required to place an order for a quantity of TCoD billing features (one feature equals one processor day). The following TCoD billing features are available:

9 Processor Billing Model Feature Package Feature Feature Standard Enterprise Standard Enterprise Standard Enterprise Standard Enterprise 1792 Bill: Step-by-Step 1. Customer must report billing data (requested and unreturned processor days) at a minimum of once per month either electronically or via fax (stated requirement in the signed contract). 2. At the end of each billing period (calendar quarter), IBM will process the reported data collected in the IBM database (MRPD), and notify the sales channel of any activity, so the proper billing can take place. 3. Sales channel places an order for a quantity of TCoD billing features (one billing feature for each processor day). 4. IBM will ship a billing notice (notifies customer of billing actions) to the ship-to address on the order as part of the fulfillment process. 5. Customer pays the sales channel and the sales channel pays IBM for the fulfillment of the TCoD billing features. New PCI-X Based I/O Features and 15K rpm Disk Units New HSL-attached PCI I/O towers/units supersede the existing HSL-attached PCI I/O towers/units for any Model 270, 820, 830, or 840 running V5.2, or later, or any Model 800, 810, 825, 870, and 890. The new I/O towers leverage PCI-X technology and 15K rpm disk drive technology that can offer improved performance. The new #5094 has the same number of PCI slots and disk unit positions as the existing #5074. The new #5088 has the same number of PCI slots as the existing #5078. The new #5095 offers twice the disk drive slots as the existing #5075. The new 15K rpm disk drives offer greater rotational speed and other performance efficiencies compared to the 10K rpm disk drives. They are supported by V5.2, or later, and offered with either GB or GB capacity. As always, you should buy both an adequate number disk arms as well as adequate disk capacity to meet your requirements. These 15K rpm drives can only be used in a new PCI-X I/O tower, or inside the Model 800, 810, 825, 870, or 890 system unit. The newest PCI-X Ultra DASD controller offers much greater throughput or performance than any earlier iseries DASD controller. It has a much larger cache and is by far the best match for 15K rpm disk drive configurations, especially if more than four or five 15K rpm drives are attached to the controller. The new controller can also improve 10K rpm disk subsystem throughput, especially if there is high disk utilization. Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act iseries Models 800, 810, 825, 870, and 890 are capable as of January 24, 2003, when used in accordance with IBM s associated documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used with the product properly interoperates with it. Product Positioning Models 800, 810, 825, 870 and the enhanced Model 890 provide a complete refresh of iseries servers. Industry-leading on-demand capability, Web enablement enhancements, simpler product structure to make selecting the right iseries server easier, and new PCI-X I/O complete the refresh of the iseries product line. POWER4 technology is now available on the new 3-way and larger servers of the product line. The new Models 800 through Model 870 are rated from 300 processor CPW to 20,000 processor CPW with the Model 890 delivering up to 37,400 CPW. All of these servers have performance and functional characteristics capable of running a wide range of application workloads including e-business, WebSphere, Java, Linux, client-server, ported UNIX, and Domino, as well as online transaction processing (OLTP). These new models replace Models 270, 820, 830, and 840 in most proposals. Model 800 (300 or 950 CPW) replaces most Model 270s. Model 810 (1020 to 2700 CPW) replaces the largest Model 270s and most Model 820 processors. Model 825 (3600 to 6600 CPW) replaces the 4-way Model 820 and the small to medium Model 830. Model 870 (11500 to CPW) replaces the large Model 830 and the Model 840. New Model 890 feature codes replace the existing Model 890. Model 800 Value, Standard, and Advanced Editions are tailored specifically for small enterprises. The Model 800 matches the needs of many small and medium-sized enterprises. This server has the performance and capacities to replace much of the installed AS/400 product line. The Advanced Edition is an excellent choice for a customer running OLTP applications whose business expansion plans require more e-business and on demand capability. New Options Packages for Models 810, 825, 870, or 890 provide a choice of either a Standard or Enterprise Package. The Standard Package provides an aggressively priced server with the ability to run any workload, including 5250 OLTP applications that have been IBM Webfaced and are running under WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Express for iseries. The Enterprise Package provides a much richer and more complete set of capabilities and components to better match the needs of on demand environments OLTP applications can be run either: Under the 5250 CPW provided by the Enterprise Package Under WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Express after being Webfaced by the WebSphere WebFacing Tool

10 The Model 890 has been updated with new processor features to match the simpler product structure of the Models 810, 825, and 870. It is generally financially advantageous to order the Model 890 using the new processor feature numbers. The processor CPW ratings of the Model 890 do not change. Current Model 890 customers can upgrade to the new processor feature numbers and the appropriate Enterprise or Standard Package. Once upgraded, the new Capacity on Demand temporary and permanent capacity capabilities, OS/400 licensing by processor, 5250 OLTP capacities, and P50 software tier for future software acquisitions all apply. Models 800, 810, 825, 870, and 890 are the only iseries servers that do not require 5250 interactive CPW when running 5250 OLTP applications Webfaced using the IBM WebSphere Development Studio WebFacing Tool. New Capacity on Demand capabilities increase the flexibility and adaptability of the Models 825, 870, and 890 to quickly respond to normal growth or immediately respond to peak workload demands. In addition to the permanent activations currently provided on the Models 830, 840, and 890, new temporary activations support peak workload demands on Models 825, 870, and 890. New iseries PCI adapters, controllers, and PCI-X I/O towers/units expand and extend the currency and capabilities of the iseries. The new I/O features should be used in place of existing features. They are newer technology and can offer performance gains. If there are no current subsystem I/O performance bottlenecks, I/O subsystem performance gains may not impact overall systems performance substantially for your server at its current utilization. The new I/O towers with PCI-X technology should be used in place of the current HSL-attached I/O towers on new iseries servers. Existing #5065/5066 PCI I/O towers on Models 820, 830, and 840 should be converted to HSL-attached #5074/5079 PCI I/O towers or replaced with #5094/5294 PCI-X I/O towers to improve overall I/O subsystem performance.

11 IBM US Announcement Supplemental Information January 24, 2003 Feature Descriptions Features and Specify Codes for Models 800, 810, 825, 870, and 890 Feature Notes Features can be added and removed from iseries servers by ordering new features, removing existing features, or doing feature conversions, if available. Some of these features may be withdrawn over time. Check with your IBM representative for current availability. Feature conversions are used when it is necessary to physically change an installed feature. New parts will be shipped, and, unless otherwise noted, the removed or replaced parts become the property of IBM. The addition of a new feature and removal of an installed feature does not involve any credit. Unless otherwise specified, a removed feature remains the property of the customer. Feature removals not associated with a model upgrade or feature conversion may be subject to a charge. System Configuration All system units and expansion units have locations for features including processors, main storage, power, expansion, disks, tapes, CD/DVDs, and IOPs. Some restrictions may apply to certain combinations of features. The configurator contains the rules and performance considerations for placement of these features, and should be used to ensure a valid configuration. The use of performance tools may also help in optimizing a configuration to match a specific set of requirements. Customer Setup (CSU) Features Some features are designated CSU. On MES orders where all features are CSU, the customer installs all features. IBM installation is available for a charge, under normal service contracts. On MES orders that contain a mix of IBM and CSU features, the customer may choose to have the IBM service representative install all features (including those designated as CSU).

On upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient disk units are not available. Feature #0040 requires all disk units to be placed into mirrored pairs. The load source must be controlled by the first disk controller and must be mirrored to a like disk unit also attached to the first disk controller. Minimum number of disks allowed on a system: two. Device Parity Protection-All (#0041): Causes the order to fail if a non-raid configuration is ordered. This is the default specify code for data protection. Feature #0041 requires all internal disk units be placed into RAID arrays using a RAID capable disk controller. The rules for RAID can be found in the disk controller descriptions. All external disk units must be RAID capable. Mirrored System IOP Level Protection (#0042): Causes the order to fail if sufficient disk units and IOPs are not included on the order to support IOP-level mirrored protection. On upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient disk units and IOPs are not available. Feature #0042 requires all disk units to be placed into mirrored pairs. Each mirrored pair of disk units must be on separate disk unit IOP. The load source must be controlled by the first disk controller and must be mirrored to a like disk unit also attached to the first disk controller. (#0040 protection). Minimum number of disks allowed on a system: four. Mirrored System BUS Level Protection (#0043): Causes the order to fail if sufficient disk units, IOPs, and expansion units are not included on the order to support bus-level mirrored protection. On upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient disk units, IOPs, and expansion units are not available. Feature #0043 requires all disk units to be placed into mirrored pairs. Each mirrored pair of disk units must be on separate busses.
