Provides an approach to the efficient use of computing resources in order to
reduce the number of servers and provide better utilization computing power.
We provide multiple LPARS which represent what in the past could be a separate
physical machine, that would require its own power, cooling and floor/rack space.
Power Saving: There is on physical machine which requires one footprint on the
floor, and one power supply(two if redundant setup is used) and cooling for one
machine vs. many.
Hardware Redundancy: A system design protocol and associated
implementation that ensures a certain degree of operational continuity during a
given measurement period. We have two Virtual I/O Servers each serving storage
to the LPARs. These are then mirrored on each LPAR providing a second path
for availability. If one disk or even one VIO Server were to fail, the system is still
operational. We have also configured the Ethernet adapters with a Network
Interface Backup (NIB) so there are 2 adapters for every network.
Green Implementation: The Power on Wheels Implementation uses the concepts
of Virtualization and Server Consolidation which uses power sharing, requires
less cooling saving power. This in combination with the use of Advanced Power
Virtualization Features make it a Green Implementation.
Multiple LPARs of various Operating Systems: We provide LPARs with AIX,
RedHat, and SUSE.
LPAR OS
Appserver: AIX
Jmeter: SLES
Web Server: RedHat
DB Server: AIX
NIM Server: AIX
VIO Serv1: VIO Server
VIO Serv2: VIO Server
o Multiple Applications running on different Operating System
LPAR Applicaitons
Pxxn01: WebSphere Application Server
Pxxn02: JMeter, Lx86
Pxxn03: IBM HTTP Server
Pxxn04: DB2 Server
Pxxn05: Nim Server
o Graphical Monitoring and Management Tools:
Graphical Monitoring:
• LPARMon: Shows system resources usage
• JMeter: Runs stored scripts to drive the load through the
LPARs
Graphical Management:
• Web-GUI
