IBM® supports direct attachment of SMP IBM
System x™ models via the
System i™ High Speed Link (RIO/HSL) bus to
the IBM i platform. This implementation uses an
Integrated xSeries Adapter for iSeries and provides systems management
and disk consolidation features.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
There are two models of the Integrated xSeries Adapter (IXA).
These two IXA models provide the same function, but they are designed to work with different System x models.
The IXA model feature codes are:
|
| |
|
| · |
Provides flexible Storage Area Network management for Windows or Linux servers |
|
| · |
Delivers heterogeneous application solutions with one offering |
|
| · |
Consolidates up to 60 direct attached System x models |
|
| · |
Supports a less expensive high availability solution with hot spare technology |
|
| · |
Lowers the cost of user administration by synchronizing
i5/OS® and Windows profiles and passwords |
|
| · |
Reduces operations and skills costs through System i Navigator management |
|
| · |
Improves Windows and Linux server uptime and stability with a consistent implementation |

IBM i and System x integration and storage virtualization provide innovative options that can enable customers
to enhance the reliability and recoverability of their Windows or Linux server environment. If a Windows or Linux server fails,
you can quickly and easily switch the servers storage spaces to
another "hot spare" server without restarting your IBM i.
See the
Hot spare support page for additional information.

1 Each System x model that is integrated with the IBM i platform will
consume resources on the IBM i platform. The actual number
of System x models that a Power server can support
will depend on the available IBM i resources
and the applications on the System x models.
See Chapter 17, Integrated BladeCenter® and System x™ Performance in the
System i Performance Capabilities Reference (1.6 MB)
to determine the IBM i platform impact of integrating System x models.
2 For model 825, the maximum is 5 for RIO/HSL loops 1 and 2.
3 For model 830, the maximum is 1 for RIO/HSL loop 1.

integrated System x models and the associated software.

1 In the IBM i Configurator,
the 0092 feature code will take you back to order the RIO/HSL and SPCN cables.
2 The Integrated xSeries Adapter comes with a RS485 cable,
SPCN doubler cable, installation instructions and System x model ordering information.
3 The IXA attached System x model will require 2 RIO/HSL cables if it is the only server in a loop.
Only 1 RIO/HSL cable is required if the server is being added to an existing loop.
The IXA uses HSL cable connectors (not HSL-2 cable connectors).
Therefore, if other towers in the HSL loop use HSL-2 cables,
you will need HSL to HSL-2 cables to connect the IXA into the HSL loop. |
