Notes: Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed.

AIX VUG 2010

Enhancements to Live Partition Mobility (v2.1.2)

Preservation of Virtual Target Device names– If the VTD had a user defined name on the source VIOS that name will now be

recreated on the destination VIOS.

Ability to change virtual target device names during a migration operation $ lsdev -dev vtscsi0 -attrattribute value description user_settableLogicalUnitAddr 0x8100000000000000 Logical Unit Address Falseaix_tdev hdisk7 Target Device Name Falseclient_reserve no Client Reserve Truemig_name N/A True

7


AIX VUG 2010


Ability to encrypt traffic between the source and destination Mover Service Partition (MSP)

– A command line interface (CLI) has been added to the VIOS to allow the creation of an IPSEC tunneled connection between the mover service partitions (MSPs) that are responsible for moving a client’s data during a live partition mobility event.

– To enable encryption on the VIOS, the clic.rte package must be installed.

8


AIX VUG 2010


Ability to select network interface to be used for MSP to MSP communications

– If multiple network interfaces are available between a pair of Mover Service Partitions, it is now possible through the HMC command line to select which IP address the mover will use to transport client partition data during a live partition mobility event.

See HMC man pages for migrlpar for more details

hscroot@sahmc:~> migrlpar -o m -m p6_570 -t p7_770 --id 5 --ip 10.56.145.201 -u hscroot –i "source_msp_ipaddr=10.0.0.1,dest_msp_ipaddr=10.0.0.4"

9


AIX VUG 2010


The ability to create non-symmetric VIO server configurations

$ migrlpar with –mpio flag

When validating or migrating a partition, use this option to specify whether the HMC is required to maintain an equivalent multipath I/O (MPIO) configuration of the partition's virtual SCSI and virtual fibre channel adapters on the destination managed system. Valid values are 1 if the HMC is required to maintain an equivalent MPIO configuration, or 2 if the HMC is not required to maintain an equivalent MPIO configuration, but should do so if possible. If this option is not specified, then this option defaults to the value 1.

10

New VIO Server Commands (v2.1.2)$ chkdev - command determines whether a device can be

Some advantages of Virtual Optical Media Library With read-only virtual media the same virtual optical device can be presented to

multiple client partitions simultaneously

You could easily boot from and install partitions remotely without having the need to swap out physical CD/DVDs or setup Network Installation Manager (NIM) server

Easier to boot a partition into maintenance mode to repair problems

Easier to maintain a complete library of all the software needed for the managed system. Various software packages as well as all the necessary software levels to support each partition

Client partitions could use blank file-backed virtual optical media for backup purposes (read/write devices)

These file-backed optical devices could then be backed up from on the VIO server to other types of media (tape, physical CD/DVD, TSM server, etc.)

$ mkvopt -name dvd.AIX_6.1.iso -dev cd0 -ro

– You choose the name for this file, so make it meaningful

– Creates an ISO image from the media in /dev/cd0

After the .iso file is in your /var/vio/VMLibrary directory, run:

$ mkvdev -fbo -vadapter vhost4 vtopt0 Available

– Replace vhost4 with your Virtual SCSI server adapter name.

– This mkvdev command creates your virtual optical target device.

$ loadopt -vtd vtopt0 –disk dvd.AIX_6.1.iso

– The loadopt command loads vtopt0 with your ISO image

– Replace “dvd.AIX_6.1.iso” with your meaningful filename
