Prerequisiti IBM i

Per un elenco completo dei requisiti hardware e software, per la configurazione

e la pianicazione fare riferimento al link:

"Planning for IBM Power Virtualization Center Standard”

Prerequisiti specifici per IBM i:– Nel caso di sistemi IBM POWER7, POWER7+, POWER8 il livello minimo di firmware deve essere

FW750

Solo le version 7.1 e 7.2 sono supportate

Live Partition Mobility (LPM) per IBM i richiede inoltre:• Technology Refresh TR7 per IBM i 7.1

• In caso di sistemi Power8 è richiesto TR8 per IBM i 7.1

Installazione dell’activation engine su IBM i

Prima di catturare l’immagine di una partizione IBM i, è necessario ordinare ed

installare le seguenti correzioni (PTF) per avere il livello minimo di activation

engine da usare con PowerVC• PTF SI54675 and SI55013for IBM i 7.1

• PTF SI54660 for IBM i 7.2

IBM i richiede il livello di HMC 8.8.1

PowerVC Remote VM Restart consente la ripartenza di VMs da un server guasto ad un altro

• Riduce il tempo di recupero del Server Power che ha il problema

• Le VMs vengono automaticamente fatte ripartire su nuovi servers

• Funziona con AIX, IBM i o Linux VMs

• Richiede una decisione umana per la ripartenza

• Le politiche specificate in Host Group all’interno di PowerVC controllano il posizionamento

delle VMs alla ripartenza
