10.5 pSeries 680 Cluster Solutions
Entry and advanced cluster ready solution packages are available and they
provide enhanced scalability for the pSeries 680. These solution packages
combine one pSeries 680 with two entry or mid-range servers and the cabling
necessary to incorporate them into a new or existing cluster. The clusters
operate under the control of IBM Parallel Systems Support Programs (PSSP) for
AIX.
The servers in the cluster ready solutions can be used in a non-switched cluster
environment or in an SP switch attached environment. When used in an SP
switch attached environment, each server must be equipped with an SP Switch
Attachment Adapter feature F/C 8396.
The entry or mid-range servers are mounted in the first I/O rack of the pSeries
680 at the Customer Solutions Center in Rochester, MN. World wide orders for
the entry and advanced Cluster Server Solutions will be fulfilled from Rochester.
AIX 4.3.3 with maintenance package 4330-08 or later is required for each
clustered server. AIX will be pre-loaded on each server in the cluster ready
solution at the factory.
IBM PSSP for AIX version 3.2 with APAR IY16350 or later is required for each
server in the cluster. PSSP will be shipped separately and installed by the
customer.
Each server in the cluster is controlled via a customer supplied control
workstation and requires a customer supplied ethernet LAN connection.
Additional information regarding server clustering and control workstations is
available at the following IBM PSSP Web site:
