IBM System p5 Approaches to 24x7 Availability Including AIX 5L
by Scott Vetter, Bruno Blanchard, Steve Edwards, Brad Gough, Hans Mozes
Overview
This IBM Redbook focuses on the technology, serviceability, and
features that are used by the IBM eServer p5 and IBM System p5
servers, which allow you to make your server one of the most
reliable and available parts of your IT infrastructure.
This redbook explains how the server availability can be improved
by:
- Proper planning of the server environment and configuration
- Understanding the role of the service processors and firmware
components, and how they can be best configured and managed
-Using high availability and redundancy features provided by the
AIX 5L operating system and the Virtual IO server
This redbook contains many detailed examples and step-by-step
scenarios of usual server operation and maintenance tasks, such as
the setup of redundant HMC and service processors, firmware
upgrades, hot-addition of RIO drawers, or configuration of
redundant Virtual IO servers.
This redbook is intended for architects, specialists, and system
administrators who are responsible for planning or developing an
availability strategy for IBM System p servers.
