1) Advanced POWER Virtualization (APV) is an optionally orderable feature on IBM System p, 2) Partition Load Manager (PLM) is not supported on OpenPower / Linux Partitions, 3) Only available on select models, 4) “Business Case for IBM System p5 Virtualization,” Economic Benefits of IT Simplification. International Technology Group, 02/10/2006. Study methodology: Companies in financial services, manufacturing and retail with $15 Billion+ revenues and total 200,000+ employees focusing on UNIX® large enterprise environments with multiple, broad-ranging applications. Study compared the cost of the company's workload running on multiple vendor servers and employing minimal virtualization to the cost of the company's workload running on the p5-510, 550, 570, 590 and 595 – all using Advanced POWER Virtualization [APV]. APV is standard on System p5 590 and 595. Other System p servers have the option to add APV except the System p5 185. This cost analysis was performed for financial services, manufacturing and retail example environments with an overall average savings of up to 62% in TCO savings by virtualizing and consolidating on the System p servers. For further information, see the white paper at: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/p/library /consult/ itg_p5virtualization.pdf Total Cost of Ownership may not be reduced in each consolidation case. TCO depends on the specific customer environment, the existing environments and staff, and the consolidation potential. , 5) IBM sales Statistics, *All statements regarding IBM future directions and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice and represent goals and objectives only.

Partition Mobility: Active and Inactive LPARs Active Partition Mobility Active Partition Migration is the actual movement of a running LPAR from one physical machine to another without disrupting* the operation of the OS and applications running in that LPAR. Applicability Workload consolidation (e.g. many to one) Workload balancing (e.g. move to larger system) Planned CEC outages for maintenance/upgrades Impending CEC outages (e.g. hardware warning received)
Inactive Partition Mobility Inactive Partition Migration transfers a partition that is logically ‘powered off’ (not running) from one system to another.
Partition Mobility supported on POWER6™ AIX 5.3, AIX 6.1 and Linux 41

Consolidations: Virtual Servers or Application Regions? Goal: Consolidation
Partition Mobility (Part of APV) Each Application Has Its Own AIX LPAR, Multiple LPARs Per Server
Each Application Is In Its Own AIX WPAR, Multiple WPARs Per AIX
Fault Isolation
Full isolation: OS faults will only impact the specific LPAR
Limited isolation: OS faults will bring down all regions, but happen infrequently
Security Isolation
Complete isolation between OSes – shared nothing
Only user space level isolation; kernel level is still exposed
OS levels
Different OS levels in LPARs possible
Has to be the same across all WPARs
OS Service/Fix Level
OS service fixes can be applied to individual LPAR OS images
OS service fixes affect all WPARs, negatively impacting multi application - OS dependency
ISV Software Cost
ISVs will count only the number of processors in LPAR
Many ISVs price based on number of CPUs, they will count all processors in OS image
Efficiency
Good, but little sharing of OS resources leads to lower efficiency than with region approach
Very good, due to extensive sharing of OS resources such as code or text
System Admin costs
System admin costs don’t go up linearly per OS image as cluster sys mgmt tools lower costs for managing multiple OS images
TCO analysis based on number of OS images would favor regions, although in reality system administration costs will shift to per region level
Resource Granularity
Fine grained
Very fine grained
Mobility
Active LPAR movement in 2007 Requires POWER6
Active WPAR movement in 2007 Requires AIX 5.4 (Can run on P4 and up)
Each approach comes with pros and cons, so the choice depends on customer needs and preferences. 48
