An Introduction to the New IBM eServer pSeries High Performance Switch
by Octavian Lascu, Zbigniew Borgosz, Pablo Pereira, Josh-Daniel S. Davis, Andrei Socoliuc
Overview
This IBM Redbooks publication contains information about the
first official release of the pSeries High Performance Switch (HPS)
and products that may benefit from this equipment. This book
includes detailed information about the hardware and software
configuration as well as examples of supported and potential
configurations.
This book will help you install, tailor and configure the new
switch on IBM’s premier UNIX operating system, Advanced
Interactive eXecutive (AIX) 5.2, and shows the differences from
earlier generations of similar technology previously known
collectively as the Scalable POWERparallel (SP) Switch.
Additionally covered are topics such as Global Parallel File System
(GPFS) and High Availability/Cluster Multi-Processing
(HACMP).
This book gives a broad understanding of this new architecture and
its dependencies on the pSeries Hardware Management Console (HMC)
and RISC System Cluster Technology (RSCT).
This book will help you design and create a solution to exploit the
power and performance of the initial release of this new switch and
to plan for future generations.
