The iSeries ODBC Driver for Linux allows you to access iSeries database data from a Linux application written to the ODBC API. It is based on the ODBC driver in the Client Access Express for Windows product. As in that driver, the Linux ODBC driver uses the iSeries database Host Servers as the access point to the system, using a socket connection. The iSeries ODBC Driver for Linux is an ODBC 3.5 ANSI driver with the ability to store and process UNICODE data.
Two versions of the driver existfor Linux running in an iSeries LPAR. for Intel-based Linux workstations.

Dynamic Processor Movement for LinuxWe can only do dynamic allocation of virtual processor units. We can't change the amount of memory that Linux has dynamically. The memory of a Linux partition can be changed, but that would require the Linux partition to be restarted. The dynamic movement of processor capacity can be done with dedicated processors or processor units. Either way, the primary partition has to be at V5R2 to utilize this function.
Up to 10 Linux partitions per processorV5R2 now supports up to 4 OS/400 partitions per processor with a total of up to 10 partitions per processor. That is, a single processors can support up to 10 Linux partitions. You can use combinations of OS/400 and Linux partitions per processors. 10 times the number of processors, minus the number of OS/400 partitions, equal the number of Linux partitions allowed. Maximum of 32 partitions on a system, with up to 31 being Linux partitions.
iSeries NavigatorMany new enhancements where made to iSeries Navigator (formally known as Operations Navigator). The changes that are beneficial for Linux Partition Management are:

Notes: Linux I/ODirect I/O With directly attached I/O, Linux manages the hardware resources directly and all I/O resources are under the control of the Linux operating system. You can allocate disk units, tape devices, optical devices, and LAN adapters to a guest partition running Linux.You must have an NWSD to install Linux in a guest partition. Once Linux is installed, you can configure the partition to start independently.For directly attached hardware, all failure and diagnostic messages will be displayed within the guest partition.
Virtual I/O Virtual I/O resources are devices owned by the hosting OS/400 partition that provide I/O function to the guest partition. The iSeries Linux kernel and OS/400 support several different kinds of virtual I/O resources. They are virtual console, virtual disk unit, virtual CD, virtual tape, and virtual Ethernet.
Virtual console provides console function for the guest partition through an OS/400 partition. The virtual console can be established to the hosting partition or to the primary partition. The use of the virtual console allows the installation program to communicate with the user prior to networking resources being configured. It can also be used for troubleshooting system errors.
Virtual disk unit can only be provided by a hosting partition.Virtual DASD provides access to NWSSTG virtual disks from Linux. By default, the CRTNWSSTG command creates a disk environment with one disk partition formatted with the FAT16 file system. The Linux installation program will reformat the disk for Linux or you can use Linux commands such as fdisk and mke2fs to format the disk for Linux.
Virtual CD is needed to support the installation of Linux and is only provided by a hosting partition. By default, a Linux partition can see all CD drives on the hosted partition. You can change an option on the NWSD to restrict Linux from accessing some or all of those drives. See Create a network server description and network server storage space for more information on changing NWSD attributes.
Virtual tape provides access to the OS/400 tape drives from a guest partition. By default, a guest partition can see all tape drives on the hosted partition. You can change an option on the NWSD to restrict Linux from accessing some or all of those drives. See Create a network server description and network server storage space for more information on changing NWSD attributes.
Virtual Ethernet provides the same function as using a 1 Gigabyte (GB) Ethernet adapter. A guest partition can use virtual Ethernet to establish multiple high speed inter-partition connections. OS/400 and Linux partitions can communicate with each other using TCP/IP over the virtual Ethernet communication ports. Refer to Use virtual Ethernet in a guest partition for more information on virtual Ethernet.

Notes: V5R2 Direct Attachments for LINUXA number of new direct attachment features for Linux are available with V5R2. Cards being controlled by the Linux operating system do not use/require PCI IOPs. Linux direct attach PCI cards are supported only in a secondary LPAR partition. The existing direct attachments for Linux with V5R1 were limited to features #0607, #0601 and #0602 100/10Mb Ethernet and 1Gb Ethernet adapters, #0603 100/10Mb Token Ring adapter and the #0604, #0605 and #0606 Disk adapters. The addition of the direct attachment features mentioned in this foil largely extend the possibilities to directly address more different devices directly from a Linux partition on the iSeries server.

Shared read-only virtual disk
8 2002 IBM Corporation
ibm.com/eserver/iseries
Shared read-only virtual disk"Shared read-only virtual disks" is support for creating a single virtual disk and having it used by multiple Linux partitions at the same time. A typical case would be to install Linux once, and then split the data into read-only (programs, etc.) and write capable (configuration files, home directories, etc.) A single copy of the read-only disk can then be used by several Linux partitions at the same time.

Notes: Shared read-only virtual disk - details
On the ADDNWSSTGL (Add Server Storage Link) command, the parameter ACCESS has 2 possible settings in V5R1: *UPDATE and *READ.
In V5R2, ACCESS has the new value *SHRUPD.
ACCESS (*READ)The functionality of the *READ setting was expanded between V5R1 and V5R2:
In V5R1, *READ guaranteed read-only access to a NWSSTG from the linked NWSD. However, it only allowed a single NWSD to be linked; attempted links past the first would fail, saying that the maximum links were already filled.In V5R2, *READ guarantees read-only access but also allows multiple NWSDs to be simultaneously linked. Then, all of the linked NWSDs will be able to access the NWSSTG in a read-only manner, and none will have read-write access.
ACCESS(*SHRUPD)For the shared read-write access in V5R2 available with V5R2:Using an ACCESS setting of *SHRUPD, one can link an NWSSTG to multiple NWSDs in the same way as *READ above.Then, any individual linked NWSD can access the NWSSTG read-write, but only if none of the others is currently accessing it in any way. That is, a read or write requires a Mount - read/write - Unmount sequence . If no NWSD is currently accessing the disk read-write, then any or all of the NWSDs can simultaneously access the NWSSTG read-only.
Additional V5R2 drive sequence number (DRVSEQNBR) values:*QR: This special value is used for linking the quorum disk for a Windows cluster support (new with V5R2). It is not valid when using Linux.Addition al drive values (19-64): If the network server type is *GUEST, a value between 1 and 64 may be specified. Otherwise, the values supported here are up to 18 and apply only to a Windows Server of type *WINDOWSNT (Windows NT). See the on-line help for the ADDNWSSTGL command for additional parameter value inter dependencies.

With a "Single Pool of Resources" fewer disk drives, tape drives and LAN adapters can be used. Resources can be shared and can easily be moved to where they are needed. The storage of the Linux servers cab be divided in "system" (e.g. Linux kernel and utilities), in "variable" (e.g. user data, configuration files, home directories, etc.) and "static" (e.g. Program objects etc.)The blue disk in the iSeries on the bottom picture of the sheet, would be for the static data and is a read-only shared storage space.

Notes: Performance in Linux PartitionThe performance figures in this sheet are no official benchmarks but IBM Rochester lab measurements of Apache and Samba workloads in a Linux partition on iSeries. This performance information is to assist in selecting the appropriate iSeries server to run a given apache or Samba workload.
Apache PerformanceThese results are based on static web serving. The sizes of the pages served vary with 70% of page sizes being under 5K and 85% being under 50K.These results are based on the 64-bit PowerPC kernel. Results using the 32-bit kernel would typically be less.These are not benchmark results, but based on "typical" static web operations. A "hit" is defined as one HTML or one image sent to the browser.System Configuration The performance results are based on information collected by IBM in December 2001 and January 2002.
Samba Fileserver PerformanceSamba is an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. Samba is freely available under the GNU General Public License. http://www.samba.org The performance results are based on information collected by IBM in April 2002. These results are based on a file serving workload, using a typical PC-based file system workload, including standard file operations and some Windows specific file APIs. These results are based on the 64-bit PowerPC kernel. Results using the 32-bit kernel would typically be less. The results are not benchmark results, but based on typical file operations. An operation is defined as one file open. * The i820 4-way results are based on the Linux partition having 3.8 processors.

Enable shutdown of hosted logical partitions (Linux)Support was added in V5R2 so BRMS can control hosted logical partitions. This results in a higher level of backup automation.There is no BRMS automated "power on" support for hosted logical partitions in this release. Typically customers would manual start up their Linux partitions again, use a BRMS exit program or use startup programs.
iSeries support for Windows Neighborhood (NetServer)OS/400 support for Windows Network Neighborhood (OS/400 NetServer) has been expanded to include Linux clients. OS/400 NetServer support of Linux (clients) provides the same file and print sharing function as the existing OS/400 NetServer. The PTFs for V5R1 are available now via ECS.
Allows Linux applications to access the IFS and output queues on the iSeries (for example, Samba Fileserver)
IBM Java 1.3.1 supportiSeries Linux now supports IBM Java 1.3.1.
