The x3950 M2 system is based on the fourth generation of IBM X-Architecture and is built on eX4 technology. As a scale-up platform, it offers unprecedented flexibility for supporting multi-node configurations using up to 96 processor cores.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#0000ff;">The System x3950 M2 is the ultimate in scale-up design. Scale-up refers to the idea of increasing processing capacity by adding additional processors (and memory and I/O bandwidth) to a single server, making it more powerful. This is precisely what the x3950 M2 is designed to do: to scale up by adding chassis to a hardware partition to form two-node, four-node, and eight-node configurations. SQL Server 2008 is also designed for scale-up.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#0000ff;">Thus, when your database application needs to scale-up to handle increased demands, the x3950 M2 and SQL Server 2008 together can grow from a one-node server to an enterprise-class four-node server with up to 96 processor cores and 1 TB of physical memory, which the 64-bit SQL Server 2008 x64 can take full advantage of.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#0000ff;">This IBM Redbooks publication presents technical considerations and configuration examples for scaling up Microsoft SQL Server 2008 to support very high workloads.</span></p><p align="center"><span class="139411217-27032009"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:180%;color:#0000ff;"><strong><a href="http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4476.html">x3950 M2 & SQL Server REDBOOK</a></strong></span></span></p>Dpethickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262989726326894327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211407105827940871.post-55818840505647870942009-03-27T13:51:00.000-04:002009-03-27T13:51:03.972-04:00INFORMATION - Blade S RESOURCES<span style="font-family:verdana;color:#6600cc;">If you require any information or tools on how to sell the BLADE S chassis and Blade Servers just take a look at the following resources.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#6600cc;"></span><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#6600cc;"><strong>Learn about the BLADE S</strong></span></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6600cc;"></span></strong> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.ibm.com/systems/data/flash/bladecenter/hardware/servers/tour/bladeschassis/"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#6600cc;"><strong>Take a 3D Tour</strong></span></a></div><p align="center"><a href="ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/common/ssi/pm/rg/n/blo03021usen/BLO03021USEN.PDF"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#6600cc;"><strong>Blade S Guide</strong></span></a><br /></p><span class="915354915-18032009" style="font-family:verdana;"></span><p align="center"><span class="915354915-18032009" style="font-family:verdana;color:#6600cc;"><a href="http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247682.html"><strong>Implementing IBM Bladecenter S Chassis</strong></a></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6600cc;"><a href="https://www-304.ibm.com/jct01005c/partnerworld/mem/sell/sel_lead_dash_bladeS.html"><strong>Business Partner Resource Page</strong></a></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#0000ff;"></span> </p><p><br /></p>Dpethickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262989726326894327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211407105827940871.post-17603333306572530702009-03-27T12:48:00.005-04:002009-03-27T16:04:49.678-04:00LEARNING - Blades & Virtualization<div align="center"><span class="339262816-27032009"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#0000ff;"><strong>Don't miss the boat!</strong> </span></span></div><span class="339262816-27032009"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#0000ff;"></span></span><br /><div align="left"><span class="339262816-27032009"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#0000ff;">If your not selling Blade Servers and Virtualization your competition is or will be, as it is the Solution to sell in this market.

H, with the 7.35.x code, it is based on learn cycle. I need to explain to my customers (hopefully with a screenshot) that after the upgrade we will just need to reset the age counter by few screenshot which I could not get on the latest demo. Could you please send me a screenshot for the advance learn cycle after the upgrade which shows the battery is healthy, and also one that shows how to configure the learn cycle.<br />On top of this, I was told that some of the initial batch of DS3000 systems were not delivered with SMART batteries. Is this true? After I upgrade the Firmware to 7.35, will the Storage Manager tell me if the system does not have a smart battery? If not, how could I tell from the StorageManager whether the battery is smart or not?<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span><span style="color:blue;"><span style="color:blue;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Answer of the week:<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">First of all, a little background on batteries. There are “dumb” batteries like you put in flashlights, and there are “smart” batteries like the ones that go in laptops. The big difference is that the smart batteries can communicate and provide intelligence to the system like State of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:state st="on">Charge</st1:state> and State of <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Health</st1:place></st1:state> information. With dumb batteries, you don’t. So, smart batteries tell you when they need to be replaced, but with dumb batteries, you can either wait until the light grows dim (flashlight example) or the “average lifespan” time is up to replace the batteries. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The upside of smart batteries is that customers are not changing out perfectly good batteries. The downside to the smart batteries is complexity, cost, and the need to run periodic health checks (called the learn cycle). As with all “system maintenance” functions, it is best to run the learn cycle during a non-disruptive time (weekends, nights, etc) as it may have an impact on system performance (especially lower end systems<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">With the newer systems (DS3000’s, DS4000’s and DS5000’s), we’ve always utilized smart batteries (batteries with the smart circuitry). So, it is not necessary to try to determine if your system has smart or dumb batteries (DS4300 batteries are dumb, and DS3400 batteries are smart). With the older versions of firmware (pre-7.x), we didn’t implement the intelligence for taking advantage of the smart batteries. Instead, we just utilized the old method of checking their age (for various reasons). With the new version of firmware, the systems now take advantage of the smartness of the batteries. This does bring about changes to the StorageManager, and as pointed out above, those changes do not show up in the simulator (a simulator bug that will be resolved). So, below you will see a screenshot of the “Change Battery Settings” window (under Tools tab in the DS3000 StorageManager interface).<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">You will notice that you now can reset the age (which does very little), and also select when the learn cycle is run. I’ll also note that the learn cycle is run every 13 weeks, and the StorageManager displays when the next learn cycle will be executed.</span></span></p></span></span>Dpethickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262989726326894327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211407105827940871.post-91941182128749185812009-03-12T12:41:00.003-04:002009-03-27T11:52:48.522-04:00NOTICE -
