Configuration

There are three basic building blocks in the Superdome system architecture: the cell, the crossbar backplane and the PCI X based I/O subsystem.

Cabinets

CabinetsCabinets

Starting with the sx1000 chip set, Superdome servers will be released with the Graphite color. A Superdome system will consist of up to four different types of cabinet assemblies:

One Superdome left cabinet. No more than one Superdome right cabinet (only Superdome 64-way system) The Superdome cabinets contain all of the processors, memory and core devices of the system. They will also house most (usually all) of the system's PCI X cards. Systems may include both left and right cabinet assemblies containing, a left or right backplane respectively. One or more HP Rack System/E cabinets. These 19-inch rack cabinets are used to hold the system peripheral devices such as disk drives. Optionally, one or more I/O expansion cabinets (Rack System/E). An I/O expansion cabinet is required when a customer requires more PCI X cards than can be accommodated in their Superdome cabinets.

Superdome cabinets will be serviced from the front and rear of the cabinet only. This will enable customers to arrange the cabinets of their Superdome system in the traditional row fashion found in most computer rooms. The width of the cabinet will accommodate moving it through common doorways in the U.S. and Europe. The intake air to the main (cell) card cage will be filtered. This filter will be removable for cleaning/replacement while the system is fully operational.

Cells (CPUs and Memory)

Cells (CPUs and Memory)Cells (CPUs and Memory)

A status display will be located on the outside of the front and rear doors of each cabinet. The customer and field engineers can therefore determine basic status of each cabinet without opening any cabinet doors.

Superdome 16-way and Superdome 32-way systems are available in single cabinets. Superdome 64 way systems are available in dual cabinets.

Each cabinet may contain a specific number of cell boards (consisting of CPUs and memory) and I/O. See the following sections for configuration rules pertaining to each cabinet.

A cell, or cell board, is the basic building block of a Superdome system. It is a symmetric multi processor (SMP), containing up to 4 processor modules and up to 16 GB of main memory using 512 MB DIMMs or up to 32 GB of main memory using 1 GB DIMMs. It is also possible to mix 512 MB and 1 GB DIMMs on the same cell board. A connection to a 12 slot PCI X card cage is optional for each cell.

The Superdome cell boards shipped from the factory are offered with 2 processors or 4 processors. These cell boards are different from those that were used in the previous releases of Superdome.

The cell boards can contain a minimum of 2 (for 2-way cell boards) and 4 (for 4-way cell boards) active processors.

The Superdome cell board contains:

Itanium 2 1.5-GHz CPUs (up to 4 processor modules) Cell controller ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) Main memory DIMMs (up to 32 DIMMs per board in 4 DIMM increments, using 512 MB or 1 GB DIMMs - or some combination of both.) Voltage Regulator Modules (VRM) Data buses Optional link to 12 PCI X I/O slots

Crossbar Backplane

Crossbar BackplaneCrossbar Backplane

Each crossbar backplane contains two sets of two crossbar chips that provide a non blocking connection between eight cells and the other backplane. Each backplane cabinet can support up to eight cells or 32 processors (in a Superdome 32way in a single cabinet). A backplane supporting four cells or 16 processors would result in a Superdome 16-way. Two backplanes can be linked together with flex cables to produce a cabinet that can support up to 16 cells or 64 processors (Superdome 64-way in dual cabinets).

I/O Subsystem

I/O SubsystemI/O Subsystem

Core I/O

Core I/OCore I/O

Each I/O chassis provides twelve PCI X slots; eight standard and four high bandwidth PCI X slots. There are two I/O chassis in an I/O Chassis Enclosure (ICE). Each I/O chassis connects to one cell board and the number of I/O chassis supported is dependent on the number of cells present in the system. If a PCI card is inserted into a PCI X slot, the card cannot take advantage of the faster slot.

Each Superdome cabinet supports a maximum of four I/O chassis. The optional I/O expansion cabinet can support up to six I/O chassis.

A 4 cell Superdome (16-way) supports up to four I/O chassis for a maximum of 48 PCI X slots.

An 8 cell Superdome supports up to eight I/O chassis for a maximum of 96 PCI X slots. Four of these I/O chassis will reside in an I/O expansion cabinet.

A 16-cell Superdome supports up to sixteen I/O chassis for a maximum of 192 PCI X slots. Eight of these I/O chassis will reside in two I/O expansion cabinets (either six chassis in one I/O expansion cabinet and two chassis in the other, or four chassis in each).

The core I/O in Superdome provides the base set of I/O functions required by every Superdome partition. Each partition must have at least one core I/O card in order to boot. Multiple core I/O cards may be present within a partition (one core I/O card is supported per I/O backplane); however, only one may be active at a time. Core I/O will utilize the standard long card PCI X form factor but will add a second card cage connection to the I/O backplane for additional non PCI X signals (USB and utilities). This secondary connector will not impede the ability to support standard PCI X cards in the core slot when a core I/O card is not installed.

Any I/O chassis can support a Core I/O card that is required for each independent partition. A system configured with 16 cells, each with its own I/O chassis and core I/O card could support up to 16 independent partitions. Note that cells can be configured without I/O chassis attached, but I/O chassis cannot be configured in the system unless attached to a cell.

The core I/O card's primary functions are:

Partitions (console support) including USB and RS 232 connections 10/100Base T LAN (general purpose)

Other common functions, such as Ultra/Ultra2 SCSI, Fibre Channel, and Gigabit Ethernet, are not included on the core I/O card. These functions are, of course, supported as normal PCI X add in cards.

The unified 100Base T Core LAN driver code searches to verify whether there is a cable connection on an RJ 45 port or on an AUI port. If no cable connection is found on the RJ 45 port, there is a busy wait pause of 150 ms when checking for an AUI connection. By installing the loopback connector (description below) in the RJ 45 port, the driver would think an RJ 45 cable was connected and would not continue to search for an AUI connection, hence eliminate the 150 ms busy wait state:

The I/O expansion functionality is physically partitioned into four rack mounted chassis-the I/O expansion utilities chassis (XUC), the I/O expansion rear display module (RDM), the I/O expansion power chassis (XPC) and the I/O chassis enclosure (ICE). Each ICE supports up to two 12-slot PCI-X chassis.

The only field rackable I/O expansion components are the ICE and the 12-slot I/O chassis. Either component would be field installed when the customer has ordered additional I/O capability for a previously installed I/O expansion cabinet.

No I/O expansion cabinet components will be delivered to be field installed in a customer's existing rack other than a previously installed I/O expansion cabinet. The I/O expansion components were not designed to be installed in racks other than Rack System E. In other words, they are not designed for Rosebowl I, pre merger Compaq, Rittal, or other third party racks.

The I/O expansion cabinet is based on a modified HP Rack System E and all expansion components mount in the rack. Each component is designed to install independently in the rack. The Rack System E cabinet has been modified to allow I/O interface cables to route between the ICE and cell boards in the Superdome cabinet. I/O expansion components are not designed for installation behind a rack front door. The components are designed for use with the standard Rack System E perforated rear door.

The I/O chassis enclosure (ICE) provides expanded I/O capability for Superdome. Each ICE supports up to 24 PCI-X slots by using two 12-slot Superdome I/O chassis. The I/O chassis installation in the ICE puts the PCI-X cards in a horizontal position. An ICE supports one or two 12-slot I/O chassis. The I/O chassis enclosure (ICE) is designed to mount in a Rack System E rack and consumes 9U of vertical rack space.

To provide online addition/replacement/deletion access to PCI or PCI-X cards and hot swap access for I/O fans, all I/O chassis are mounted on a sliding shelf inside the ICE.

Four (N+1) I/O fans mounted in the rear of the ICE provide cooling for the chassis. Air is pulled through the front as well as the I/O chassis lid (on the side of the ICE) and exhausted out the rear. The I/O fan assembly is hot swappable. An LED on each I/O fan assembly indicates that the fan is operating.

Although the individual I/O expansion cabinet components are designed for installation in any Rack System E cabinet, rack size limitations have been agreed upon. IOX Cabinets will ship in either the 1.6 meter (33U) or 1.96 meter (41U) cabinet. In order to allay service access concerns, the factory will not install IOX components higher than 1.6 meters from the floor. Open space in an IOX cabinet will be available for peripheral installation.

All peripherals qualified for use with Superdome and/or for use in a Rack System E are supported in the I/O expansion cabinet as long as there is available space. Peripherals not connected to or associated with the Superdome system to which the I/O expansion cabinet is attached may be installed in the I/O expansion cabinet.

No servers except those required for Superdome system management such as Superdome Support Management Station or ISEE may be installed in an I/O expansion.

Peripherals installed in the I/O expansion cabinet cannot be powered by the XPC. Provisions for peripheral AC power must be provided by a PDU or other means.

If an I/O expansion cabinet is ordered alone, its field installation can be ordered via option 750 in the ordering guide (option 950 for Platinum Channel partners).

Partitions

PartitionsPartitions

Superdome can be configured with hardware partitions, (npars). Given that HP-UX 11i version 2 does not support virtual partitions (vpars), Superdome systems running HP-UX 11i version 2 do not support vpars.

A hardware partition (npar) consists of one or more cells that communicate coherently over a high bandwidth, low latency crossbar fabric. Individual processors on a single-cell board cannot be separately partitioned. Hardware partitions are logically isolated from each other such that transactions in one partition are not visible to the other hardware partitions within the same complex.

Each npar runs its own independent operating system. Different npars may be executing the same or different revisions of an operating system, or they may be executing different operating systems altogether. Superdome supports HP-UX 11i version 2 (at first release), Windows Server 2003 (at first release + 2 to 4 months) and Linux (first release + 6 months) operating systems.

Each npar has its own independent CPUs, memory and I/O resources consisting of the resources of the cells that make up the partition. Resources (cell boards and/or I/O chassis) may be removed from one npar and added to another without having to physically manipulate the hardware, but rather by using commands that are part of the System Management interface. The table below shows the maximum size of npars per operating system:

Maximum size of npar Maximum number of npars

For information on type of I/O cards for networking and mass storage for each operating environment, please refer to the Technical Specifications section.

Superdome supports static partitions. Static partitions imply that any npar configuration change requires a reboot of the npar. In a future HP-UX and Windows release, dynamic npars will be supported. Dynamic npars imply that npar configuration changes do not require a reboot of the npar. Using the related capabilities of dynamic reconfiguration (i.e. online addition, on-line removal), new resources may be added to an npar and failed modules may be removed and replaced while the npar continues in operation. Adding new npars to Superdome system does not require a reboot of the system.

Memory

MemoryMemory each ECC word. Therefore, the only way to get a multiple bit memory error from SDRAMs is if more than one SDRAM failed at the same time (rare event). The system is also resilient to any cosmic ray or alpha particle strike because these failure modes can only affect multiple bits in a single SDRAM. If a location in memory is "bad", the physical page is de allocated dynamically and is replaced with a new page without any OS or application interruption. In addition, a combination of hardware and software scrubbing is used for memory. The software scrubber reads/writes all memory locations periodically. However, it does not have access to "locked down" pages. Therefore, a hardware memory scrubber is provided for full coverage. Finally data is protected by providing address/control parity protection.

I/O

I/OI/O thus preventing I/O cards from creating faults on other I/O paths. I/O cards in hardware partitions (npars) are fully isolated from I/O cards in other hard partitions. It is not possible for an I/O failure to propagate across hard partitions. It is possible to dynamically repair and add I/O cards to an existing running partition.

All providers of mission critical solutions agree that failover between clustered systems provides the safest availability-no single points of failures (SPOFs) and no ability to propagate failures between systems. However, HP supports the configuration of HA cluster software in a single system to allow the highest possible availability for those users that need the benefits of a non-clustered solution, such as scalability and manageability. Superdome with this configuration will provide the greatest single system availability configurable. Since no single system solution in the industry provides protection against a SPOF, users that still need this kind of safety and HP's highest availability should use HA cluster software in a multiple system HA configuration. Multiple HA software clusters can be configured within a single Superdome system (i.e., two 4 -ode clusters configured within a 32-way Superdome system).

existing configuration requirements for non Superdome systems also apply to configurations that include Superdome systems. An additional recommendation, when possible, is to configure the nodes of cluster in each datacenter within multiple cabinets to allow for local failover in the case of a single cabinet failure. Local failover is always preferred over a remote failover to the other datacenter. The importance of this recommendation increases as the geographic distance between datacenters increases.

From an HA perspective, it is always better to have the nodes of an HA cluster spread across as many system cabinets (Superdome and non Superdome systems) as possible. This approach maximizes redundancy to further reduce the chance of a failure causing down time.

Any Superdome partition that is protected by Microsoft Cluster Service for Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition can be configured in a cluster of up to 8 nodes with:

Another Superdome complex Another partition within the same single cabinet Superdome with an identical hardware configuration

Furthermore, geographically dispersed clusters are supported utilizing a single quorum resource (Cluster Extension XP for Windows). Specific Superdome Windows Server 2003 cluster configurations will be announced later in 2003.

Support of Serviceguard on Linux and Cluster Extension on Linux should be available in late 2003.

Superdome now supports the Console and Support Management Station in one device.

The optimal configuration of console device(s) depends on a number of factors, including the customer's data center layout, console security needs, customer engineer access needs, and the degree with which an operator must interact with server or peripheral hardware and a partition (i.e. changing disks, tapes). This section provides a few guidelines. However the configuration that makes best sense should be designed as part of site preparation, after consulting with the customer's system administration staff and the field engineering staff.

Customer data centers exhibit a wide range of configurations in terms of the preferred physical location of the console device. (The term "console device" refers to the physical screen/keyboard/mouse that administrators and field engineers use to access and control the server.) The Superdome server enables many different configurations by its flexible configuration of

DA - 11717 Worldwide — Version 1 — June 30, 2003

Page 10

QuickSpecs

Configuration

access to the MP, and by its support for multiple geographically distributed console devices.

Three common data center styles are:

The secure site where both the system and its console are physically secured in a small area. The "glass room" configuration where all the systems' consoles are clustered in a location physically near the machine room. The geographically dispersed site, where operators administer systems from consoles in remote offices.

These can each drive different solutions to the console access requirement.

The considerations listed below apply to the design of provision of console access to the server. These must be considered during site preparation.

The Superdome server can be operated from a VT100 or an hpterm compatible terminal emulator. However some programs (including some of those used by field engineers) have a more friendly user interface when operated from an hpterm. LAN console device users connect to the MP (and thence to the console) using terminal emulators that establish telnet connections to the MP. The console device(s) can be anywhere on the network connected to either port of the MP. Telnet data is sent between the client console device and the MP "in the clear", i.e. unencrypted. This may be a concern for some customers, and may dictate special LAN configurations. If an HP-UX workstation is used as a console device, an hpterm window running telnet is the recommended way to connect to the MP. If a PC is used as a console device, Reflection1 configured for hpterm emulation and telnet connection is the recommended way to connect to the MP. The MP currently supports a maximum of 16 telnet-connected users at any one time. It is desirable, and sometimes essential for rapid time to repair to provide a reliable way to get console access that is physically close to the server, so that someone working on the server hardware can get immediate access to the results of their actions. There are a few options to achieve this:

HP Integrity Superdome Servers: 16-way, 32-way,

HP Integrity Superdome Servers: 16-way, 32-way,HP Integrity Superdome Servers: 16-way, 32-way,

and 64-way

and 64-wayand 64-way

Use a system that is already in close proximity of the server such as the Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) or the System Management Station as a console device close to the system.

The system administrator is likely to want to run X applications or a browser using the same client that they access the MP and partition consoles with. This is because the partition configuration tool, parmgr, has a graphical interface. The system administrator's console device(s) should have X window or browser capability, and should be connected to the system LAN of one or more partitions.

This means that a PC or HP workstation can become the system console if properly connected on the customer LAN. This feature becomes especially important because of the remote power management capability. The LAN will be implemented on a separate port, distinct from the system LAN, and provide TCP/IP and Telnet access. There is one MP per Superdome cabinet, thus there are two (2) for Superdome 64-way. But one, and only one, can be active at a time. There is no redundancy or failover feature.

TFor Windows Server 2003 customers desiring full visibility to the Superdome Windows partition, an IP console solution is available to view the partition while the OS is rebooting (in addition to normal Windows desktop). Windows Terminal Services (standard in Windows Server 2003) can provide remote access, but does not display VGA during reboot. For customers who mandate VGA access during reboot, the IP console switch (262586-B21), used in conjunction with a VGA/USB card in the partition (A6869A) is the solution.

In order to have full graphical console access when running Windows Server 2003 on Superdome, the 3×1×16 IP Console Switch (product number 262586-B21) is required.

The features of this switch are as follows:

Provides keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) connections to 16 direct attached Windows partitions (or servers) expandable to 128. Allows access to partitions (or servers) from a remote centralized console. 1 for local KVM 3 concurrent remote users (secure SSL data transfer across network) Single screen switch management with the IP Console Viewer Software:

The purpose of the Support Management Station (SMS) is to provide Customer Engineers with an industry-leading set of support tools, and thereby enable faster troubleshooting and more precise problem root cause analysis. It also enables remote support by factory experts who consult with and back up the HP Customer Engineer. The SMS complements the proactive role of HP's Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) (which is offered to Mission Critical customers), by focusing on reactive diagnosis, for both mission critical and non mission critical Superdome customers.

The user of the SMS is the HP Customer Engineer and HP Factory Support Engineer. The Superdome customer benefits from their use of the SMS by receiving faster return to normal operation of their Superdome server, and improved accuracy of fault diagnosis, resulting in fewer callbacks. HP can offer better service through reduced installation time.

Only one SMS is required per customer site (or data center) connected to each platform via Ethernet LAN. Physically, it would be beneficial to have the SMS close to the associated platforms because the customer engineer will run the scan tools and would need to be near platform to replace failing hardware. The physical connection from the platform is an Ethernet connection and thus, the absolute maximum distance is not limited by physical constraints.

The SMS supports a single LAN interface that is connected to the Superdome and to the customer's management LAN. When connected in this manner, SMS operations can be performed remotely.

Physical Connection:

Physical Connection:Physical Connection: The SMS will contain one physical Ethernet connection, namely a 10/100Base-T connection. Note that the connection on Superdome (MP) is also 10/100Base-T, as is the LAN connection on the core I/O card installed in each hardware partition.

For connecting more than one Superdome server to the SMS, a LAN hub is required for the RJ-45 connection. A point to point connection is only required for one Superdome server to one SMS.

The cooling system in Superdome was designed to maintain reliable operation of the system in the specified environment. In addition, the system is designed to provide redundant cooling (i.e. N+1 fans and blowers) that allows all of the cooling components to be "hot swapped." Superdome was designed to operate in all data center environments with any traditional room cooling scheme (i.e. raised floor environments) but in some cases where data centers have previously installed high power density systems,

alternative cooling solutions may need to be explored by the customer. HP has teamed with Liebert to develop an innovative data room cooling solution called DataCool. DataCool is a patented overhead climate system utilizing fluid based cooling coils and localized blowers capable of cooling heat loads of several hundred watts per square foot. Some of DataCool's highlights are listed below: Liebert has filed for several patents on DataCool DataCool, based on Liebert's TeleCool, is an innovative approach to data room cooling Liquid cooling heat exchangers provide distributed cooling at the point of use Delivers even cooling throughout the data center preventing hot spots Capable of high heat removal rates (500 W per square foot) Floor space occupied by traditional cooling systems becomes available for revenue generating equipment. Enables cooling upgrades when installed in data rooms equipped with raised floor cooling

DataCool is a custom engineered overhead solution for both new data center construction and for data room upgrades for high heat loads. It is based on Liebert's TeleCool product, which has been installed in 600 telecommunications equipment rooms throughout the world. The system utilizes heat exchanger pump units to distribute fluid in a closed system through patented cooling coils throughout the data center. The overhead cooling coils are highly efficient heat exchangers with blowers that direct the cooling where it is needed. The blowers are adjustable to allow flexibility for changing equipment placement or room configurations. Equipment is protected from possible leaks in the cooling coils by the patented monitoring system and purge function that detects any leak and safely purges all fluid from the affected coils. DataCool has interleaved cooling coils to enable the system to withstand a single point of failure and maintain cooling capability.

Continuous Power during Short Interruptions of Input PowerContinuous Power during Short Interruptions of Input Power The APC SL20KFB2 will provide battery backup to allow for continuous power to the connected equipment in the event of a brief interruption in the input power to the UPS. Transaction activity will continue during brief power outage periods as long as qualified UPS units are used to provide backup power to the SPU, the Expansion Modules, and all disk and disk array products.

UPS Configuration Guidelines

UPS Configuration GuidelinesUPS Configuration Guidelines In general, the sum of the "Watt rating for UPS sizing" for all of the connected equipment should not exceed the watt rating of the UPS from which they all draw power. In previous configuration guides, this variable was called the "VA rating for UPS sizing." With Unity Power Factor, the Watt rating was the same as the kVA rating, so it didn't matter which one we used. VA is calculated by multiplying the voltage times the current. Watts, which is a measurement of true power, may be less than VA if the current and voltage are not in phase. APC SL20KFB2 has Unity Power Factory correction, so the kW rating equals the kVA rating. Be sure to add in the needs for the other peripherals and connected equipment. When sizing the UPS, allow for future growth as well. If the configuration guide or data sheet of the equipment you want to protect gives a VA rating, use this as the watt rating. If the UPS does not provide enough power for the additional devices such as system console and mass storage devices, additional UPSs may be required.

Superdome

SuperdomeSuperdome The only qualified UPS available for use with Superdome is the APC SL20KFB2 Silcon 3 Phase 20-kW UPS. The APC SL20KFB2 can provide power protection for the SPU and peripherals. If the system console and primary mass storage devices also require power protection (which is highly recommended) they may require one or more additional UPSs depending on the total Watts. Make sure that the total watts do not exceed the UPS's voltage rating.

Type of UPSs

Type of UPSsType of UPSs Some customers may experience chronic "brown-out" situations or have power sources that are consistently at the lower

spectrum of the standard voltage range. For example, the AC power may come in consistently at 92 VAC in a 110 VAC area. Heavy-load electrical equipment or power rationing are some of the reasons these situations arise. The APC SL20KFB2 units are designed to kick in before the AC power drops below the operating range of the HP Superdome Enterprise Server. Therefore, these UPS units may run on battery frequently if the AC power source consistently dips below the threshold voltage. This may result in frequent

Power Redundancy

Power RedundancyPower Redundancy Superdome servers, by default, provide an additional power supply for N+1 protection. As a result, Superdome servers will

continue to operate in the event of a single power supply failure. The failed power supply can be replaced without taking the system down.

When configuring Superdome systems that consist of more then one cabinet and include I/O expansion cabinets, certain guidelines must be followed, specifically the I/O interface cabling between the Superdome cabinet and the I/O expansion cabinet can only cross one additional cabinet due to cable length restrictions.

CPU iCOD

CPU iCODCPU iCOD Superdome servers can be populated with Itanium 2 CPUs. It is no longer necessary to pay for the additional CPUs until the customer uses them. However with HP's iCOD the remaining 2 CPUs that would cause the cell board to become fully populated can be installed and remain idle. The additional CPUs can be activated instantly with a simple command providing immediate increases in processing power to accommodate application traffic demands.

In the unlikely event that a CPU fails, the HP system will replace the failed CPU on the cell board at no additional charge. The iCOD CPU brings the system back to full performance and capacity levels, reducing downtime and ensuring no degradation in performance.

When additional capacity is required, additional CPUs on a cell board can be brought online. The iCOD CPUs are activated with a single command.

Description

DescriptionDescription Right-to-use dual 1.5 GHz Itanium 2-processor module iCOD right-to-access dual 1.5 GHz Itanium 2-processor module

The following applies to CPU iCOD on Superdome servers:

The number of iCOD processors is selected per partition instead of per system at planning/order time. At least one processor per cell in a partition must be a purchased processor. Processors are deallocated by iCOD in such a way as to distribute deallocated processors evenly across the cells in a partition. There is no way for a Customer Engineer (CE) or an Account Support Engineer (ASE) or a customer to influence this distribution. Reporting for the complex is done on a per partition basis. In other words, all partitions with iCOD processors must be capable of and configured for sending e mail to HP. Processors can be allocated and deallocated instantly or after a reboot at the discretion of the user. A license key must be obtained prior to either activating or deactivating iCOD processors. A free license key is issued once email connectivity with HP has been successfully established from all partitions with iCOD processors.

Performance Considerations with CPU iCOD:

Going from one to two to three active CPUs on a cell board gives linear performance improvement Going from three to four active CPUs gives linear performance improvement for most applications except some technical applications that push the memory bus bandwidth. Number of active CPUs per cell boards should be balanced across partitions. However, minor differences are okay (example: four active CPUs on one cell board and three active CPUs on the second cell board). Note that the iCOD software will do CPU activation to minimize differences of number of active CPUs per cell board within a partition.

Cell Board COD

Cell Board CODCell Board COD With cell board COD, Superdome servers can be populated with Itanium 2 cell boards (CPU and memory) and it is no longer necessary to pay for the additional cell boards (CPU and memory) until the customer uses them. Additional CPUs and cell boards can be activated instantly with a simple command providing immediate increases in processing power and memory capacity to accommodate application traffic demands.

In the unlikely event that a cell board fails, the HP system will replace the cell board at no additional charge. The COD cell board brings the system back to full performance and capacity levels, reducing downtime and ensuring no degradation in performance.

When additional capacity is required, additional cell boards can be brought online. The COD cell boards are each activated with a single command.

Cell board Capacity on Demand (COD) can be ordered pre installed on Superdome servers. All cell boards within the Superdome server will be populated with two or four CPUs and the customer orders the number of CPUs that must be activated prior to shipment.

iCOD Temporary Capacity

iCOD Temporary CapacityiCOD Temporary Capacity Temporary Capacity for iCOD provides the customer the flexibility to temporarily activate an iCOD processor(s) for a 30CPU day period. The program includes a temporary Operating Environment (OE) license to use and temporary hardware/software support. The iCOD temporary capacity program enables customers to tap into processing potential for a fraction of the cost of a full activation, to better match expenditures with actual usage requirements and to enjoy the benefits of a true utility model in a capitalized version.

To order iCOD temporary capacity on Superdome, A7067A must be ordered. For more information on iCOD, please refer to the appropriate section in this guide.

Utility or Pay-per-Use Program

Utility or Pay-per-Use ProgramUtility or Pay-per-Use Program HP Utility Pricing allows financial decisions on investments to be postponed until sufficient information is available. It allows customers to align their costs with revenues, thereby allowing customers to transition from fixed to variable cost structures. This more flexible approach allows customers to size their compute capacity consistent with incoming revenues and Service Level Objectives. HP Utility Pricing encompasses just-in- time purchased capacity, pay-per-forecast based on planned usage, as well as pay-per-use via metered usage. All offerings are industry leading performance solutions to our customers.

Customers are able to pay for what they use with this new processing paradigm. The usage payments are comprised of both fixed and variable amounts, with the latter based on average monthly CPU usage. Additionally, with HP retaining ownership of the server, technology obsolescence and underutilized processing assets are no longer a customer concern. This is the cornerstone of HP's pay-as-you-go Utility Pricing. Customers will be able to benefit from their servers as a "compute utility". Customers will choose when to apply additional CPU capacity and will only be charged when the additional processing power is utilized. Real-life examples of processing profiles that benefit from Pay per Use are season spikes and month-end financial closings.
