Active Memory

Active Memory is a feature that improves the reliability of memory through memory mirroring, memory scrubbing, and the Memory ProteXion feature.

Memory scrubbing and Memory ProteXion

Memory scrubbing tests the memory at regular intervals to detect and report recoverable memory ECC errors before they can cause server outages.

If the recoverable ECC error rate exceeds the system-defined threshold, the Memory ProteXion feature replaces the failing bit positions, maintaining reliable operation. If the recoverable ECC error rate exceeds the threshold, LEDs on the Light Path Diagnostics feature are lit to indicate the failing DIMM.

You do not have to enable memory mirroring to use memory scrubbing and the Memory ProteXion feature.

Memory mirroring

Memory mirroring stores data in memory port 1 and memory port 2 simultaneously. To support memory mirroring, you must install identical dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) in memory port 1 and memory port 2. For more information, see the section about installing memory modules in the Option Installation Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

To enable memory mirroring through the Configuration/Setup Utility program, select Advanced Setup from the main menu, and select Memory Configuration. For more information about using the Configuration/Setup Utility program, see Chapter 2, “Configuring your server”, on page 11.

v Controlling the server remotely

If you want to set up an ASM interconnect network and have not already done so, continue with “Using the ASM interconnect network”. If you do not want to set up an ASM interconnect network, Remote Supervisor Adapter configuration is now complete. To start managing the server remotely, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

Using the ASM interconnect network

This section explains how to configure and connect the server to function within an ASM interconnect network.

The ASM interconnect network can include as many as 12 individual ASM connections in a single bus. These connections can include Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters. When the clients and servers are connected, they use the ASM interconnect network to share ASM resources, information, and alerts among multiple servers, without having to add additional communications hardware or network interface adapters.

An ASM interconnect network provides two levels of functionality. First, the ASM interconnect network enables you to configure settings and to control the servers where other Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters on the network reside. Second, the ASM interconnect network enables other interconnect network devices to use the resources (Ethernet or modem) of other Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters in the ASM interconnect network for sending alerts. This interconnect network is used when Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, or ASM PCI Adapters cannot send an alert and must forward the information to another one of these devices to send the alert.

Planning and cabling the interconnect network

To support the most recent ASM features, a Remote Supervisor Adapter must be the main gateway interconnect to the ASM interconnect bus if the bus also includes servers with ASM PCI adapters or ASM processors. The Remote Supervisor Adapter forwards the ASM information generated by the servers attached to the ASM interconnect bus to other servers on the Ethernet network. The connected ASM processors and ASM PCI Adapters are managed through the new user interface and Web browser access of the Remote Supervisor Adapter.

Note: To ensure the stability of the system, you must have the most current level of

firmware installed on the Remote Supervisor Adapter that is the main interconnect gateway for the ASM interconnect network. The most current

Chapter 2. Configuring your server 25

level of firmware is available on the World Wide Web at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support. For more information on updating firmware, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

You must connect an ASM Interconnect module to the Remote Supervisor Adapter and to each xSeries 450 server that you connect to the ASM interconnect network bus.

Attention: To avoid damage to the Ethernet connector on the Remote Supervisor Adapter, do not plug the ASM Interconnect module into the Remote Supervisor Adapter Ethernet port.

To connect the servers, note the following setup and configuration considerations:

v Ensure that the ASM interconnect network is set up as a bus topology. You must

connect the servers to the ASM interconnect network in a series, with terminated beginning and end points.

v Ensure that the total combined length of all Ethernet cables connecting the

server in the ASM interconnect network does not exceed 91 M (300 ft).

v Each Remote Supervisor Adapter, ASM PCI adapter, or ASM processor that is

connected to the ASM interconnect network bus counts as one connection. For example, if an ASM PCI adapter is installed in a server that has an ASM processor, the processor and the adapter connect to each other using one ASM interconnect connection, but the processor and the adapter count as two connections on the ASM interconnect network bus.

Forwarding alerts

Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM PCI adapters, and ASM processors that are connected to an ASM interconnect network share resources and system-management information. This section provides information on how alerts are forwarded in the ASM interconnect network.

During normal operation, each Remote Supervisor Adapter, ASM processor, or ASM PCI adapter on the ASM interconnect network communicates with the other processors and adapters on the network. Processors or adapters that have a modem or Ethernet connection notify the other processors and adapters that these communications resources are available for use by other servers on the ASM interconnect network. These resources are then used as ASM interconnect network resources, enabling Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, or ASM PCI adapters on the ASM interconnect network to send alerts using a modem or the network, even if they do not have a modem or network connection physically attached.

When alerts are generated, they are forwarded to the Remote Supervisor Adapter, ASM processor, or ASM PCI adapter on the ASM interconnect network that has the communication resources to forward the alert. If no system on the ASM interconnect network meets the requirements, the alert is set for transmission if the connection type is configured or becomes available later.

If multiple modems or network connections exist in the ASM interconnect network, you cannot specify which system will receive an alert or which will use its modem or network connection to forward the alert. If an alert is forwarded to a Remote Supervisor Adapter, ASM processor, or ASM PCI adapter that is unable to deliver the alert (for example, the modem it is configured to use has failed or the network cannot resolve the destination IP address), the processor or adapter attempts to

26 xSeries 450: User’s Guide

forward the alert to another system on the ASM interconnect network that has the communication resources to forward the alert.

Alerts are typically sent only once (per connection type), but an alert is forwarded to another interconnect device if the resources exist on other interconnect devices in the network. For example, on a three ASM processor network where ASM processor 1 generates a modem alert, but does not have a modem and the other ASM processors have modems, the following might occur:

If ASM processor 1 generates an alert and the modem is unplugged from ASM processor 2 45 seconds prior to ASM processor 1 generating the alert, ASM processor 1 forwards the alert to ASM processor 2, having previously determined that ASM processor 2 has an available modem. When ASM processor 2 receives the forwarded alert, it determines that a modem is attached to ASM processor 3, and forwards the alert. Therefore, depending upon the time frame (45 seconds) within which a resource (modem) fails, the alert might be forwarded multiple times until an interconnect device can send the alert.

Connecting the ASM Interconnect module to the xSeries 450

The ASM Interconnect module connects the Remote Supervisor Adapter to the ASM interconnect network. This module must be purchased separately. To connect the ASM interconnect module to the Remote Supervisor Adapter, complete the following steps.

Attention: To avoid damage to the Ethernet connector, do not plug the ASM interconnect module into the Remote Supervisor Adapter Ethernet port.

1. Connect the ASM Interconnect module 1 to the Remote Supervisor Adapter ASM interconnect (peer-to-peer) port 2 as shown in the following illustration. This port is on the edge of the Remote Supervisor Adapter that is accessible from the rear of the server and is labeled RS485.

2. Connect one or two Category 3 or Category 5 Ethernet cables to the other end of the ASM Interconnect module.

3. Continue with “ASM interconnect network configuration examples” on page 28.

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller

The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provide full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in your server support auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically operate at that rate and mode.

You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers. For device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the Resource CD that comes with your server. For updated information about configuring the controllers, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

The following illustration shows the Ethernet controller port assignments, connectors, and LEDs.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-06 8/2000

Part 1 - General Terms

This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2 Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term “Machine” does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.

The IBM Warranty for Machines: IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications (“Specifications”). The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.

If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.

Extent of Warranty: The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.

THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.

Items Not Covered by Warranty: IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free

operation of a Machine. Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as assistance via telephone with “how-to” questions and those regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT

WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or your

reseller. If you do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase.

36 xSeries 450: User’s Guide

During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, provides without charge certain types of repair and exchange service to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion, IBM or your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Machine and 2) provide the service either at your location or a service center. IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to the Machine.

Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units (called “CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs to you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that IBM provides.

When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part.

Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.

You also agree to

1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;

2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not own; and

3. where applicable, before service is provided: a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request

procedures that IBM or your reseller provides; b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine; c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your

facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.

IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.

Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.

Limitation of Liability: Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other

Appendix A. Warranty information 37

contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than

1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property; and

2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For purposes of this item, the term “Machine” includes Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code.

This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN

THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Governing Law: Both you and IBM consent to the application of the laws of the

country in which you acquired the Machine to govern, interpret, and enforce all of your and IBM’s rights, duties, and obligations arising from, or relating in any manner to, the subject matter of this Agreement, without regard to conflict of law principles.
