Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)

Reliability, Fault Tolerance, and Data Integrity: The reliability of the Models 6E3 and 6C3 systems start with reliable components, devices, and subsystems. During the design and development process, subsystems go through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During system manufacturing, systems go through a thorough testing process to ensure highest product quality level.

The Models 6E3 and 6C3 systems L3 cache and system memory offer error checking and correcting (ECC) fault-tolerant features. ECC is designed to correct environmentally induced, single-bit, intermittent memory failures and single-bit hard failures. With ECC, the likelihood of memory failures will be substantially reduced. ECC also provides double-bit memory error detection that helps protect data integrity in the event of a double-bit memory failure. System memory also provides 4-bit packet error detection that helps to protect data integrity in the event of a DRAM chip failure. The system bus, I/O bus, and PCI buses are designed with parity error detection.

Disk mirroring and disk controller duplexing capability are also provided by the AIX operating system.

The Journaled File System of the AIX operating system maintains file system consistency and reduces the likelihood of data loss when the system is abnormally halted due to a power failure.

PCI Extended Error Handling (EEH)1: In the past, PCI Bus Parity errors caused a global machine check interrupt, which eventually required a system reboot to continue. In the Model 6E3 and 6C3 systems, new I/O drawer hardware, system firmware, and AIX interaction have been designed to allow transparent recovery of intermittent PCI bus parity errors and graceful transition to the I/O device available state in the case of a permanent parity error in the PCI bus. This mechanism is called the PCI Extended Error Handling (EEH). EEH-enabled adapters respond to a special data packet generated from the affected PCI slot hardware by calling system firmware, which will examine the affected bus, allow the device driver to reset it, and continue without a system reboot. Currently, Linux does not support the EEH behavior. In the event of a PCI error, the system will machine check and a reboot will be required to continue.

1 Indicates that this RAS function is not supported under Linux.

Memory Error Correction Extensions: The standard memory card has single error-correct and double-error detect ECC circuitry to correct single-bit memory failures. The double-bit detection helps maintain data integrity by detecting and reporting multiple errors beyond what the ECC circuitry can correct. The memory chips are organized such that the failure of any specific memory module only affects a single bit within an ECC word (bit scattering) thus allowing for error correction and continued operation in the presence of a complete chip failure (Chipkill™ recovery).

The memory card also utilizes memory scrubbing and thresholding to determine when spare memory modules, if available, within each bank of memory should be used to replace ones that have exceeded their threshold value (dynamic bit steering).

Redundancy for Array Self-Healing: Although the most likely failure event in a processor is a soft single-bit error in one of its caches, there are other events that can occur, and they need to be distinguished from one another. For the L1, L2, and L3 caches and their directories, hardware and firmware keep track of whether permanent errors are being corrected beyond a threshold. If exceeded, a deferred repair error log is created. Additional run-time availability actions, such as CPU vary off1 or L3 cache line delete, are also initiated.

L1, L2 caches and L2, L3 directories on the POWER4+ chip are manufactured with spare bits in their arrays that can be accessed via programmable steering logic to replace faulty bits in the respective arrays. This is analogous to the redundant bit steering employed in main store as a mechanism to avoid physical repair that is also implemented in POWER4+ systems. The steering logic is activated during processor initialization and is initiated by the built-in self-test (BIST) at power-on time.

L3 cache redundancy is implemented at the cache line granularity level. Exceeding correctable error thresholds while running causes invocation of a dynamic L3 cache line delete function, capable of up to two deletes per cache. In the rare event of solid bit errors exceeding this quantity, the cache continues to run, but a message calling for deferred repair is issued. If the system is rebooted without such repair, the L3 cache is placed in bypass mode and the system comes up with this cache deconfigured.

Service Processor: A Service Processor included in the Models 6E3 and 6C3 gives you an immediate means to diagnose, check status, and sense operational conditions of a remote system, even when the main processor is inoperable.

The Service Processor enables firmware and operating system surveillance1, several remote power controls, environmental monitoring (only critical errors are supported under Linux), reset, and boot features along with remote maintenance and diagnostic activities, including console mirroring. The Service Processor can place calls to report surveillance failures, critical environmental faults, and critical processing faults.

Fault Monitoring Functions

  • BIST and power-on self-test (POST) check processor, L3 cache, memory, and associated hardware required for proper booting of the operating system, every time the system is powered on. If a non-critical error is detected or if the errors occur in the resources that can be removed from the system configuration, the booting process is designed to proceed to completion. The errors are logged in the system non-volatile RAM (NVRAM).
  • Disk drive fault tracking1 can alert the system administrator of an impending disk failure before it impacts customer operation.
  • AIX log facility (where hardware and software failures are recorded and analyzed by Error Log Analysis [ELA] routine)1 warns the system administrator about the causes of system problems. This also enables IBM service representatives to bring along probable replacement hardware components when a service call is placed, thus minimizing system repair time.

Mutual Surveillance: The Service Processor can monitor the operation of the firmware during the boot process, and it can monitor the operating system for loss of control1. It also allows the operating system to monitor for Service Processor activity1. The Service Processor can take appropriate action, including calling for service, when it detects the firmware or the operating system1 has lost control. Likewise, the operating system can request a Service Processor repair action, if necessary1.

Environmental Monitoring Functions

  • Temperature monitoring,1 which increases the fan speed rotation when ambient temperature is above the normal operating range.
  • Temperature monitoring,1 which warns the system administrator of potential environmental-related problems (for example, air conditioning and air circulation around the system) so that appropriate corrective actions can be taken before a critical failure threshold is reached, and to provide orderly system shutdown1 when operating temperature exceeds the critical level.
  • Fan speed monitoring, which provides warning and an orderly system shutdown1 when the speed is out of operational specification.
  • Voltage monitoring, which provides warning and an orderly system shutdown1 when the voltages are out of operational specification.

Error Handling and Reporting: In the unlikely event of system hardware or environmentally induced failure, the system Run-time Error Capture capability1 systematically analyzes the hardware error signature to determine the cause of failure. The analysis result will be stored in system NVRAM. When the system can be successfully rebooted either manually or automatically, the error will be reported to the AIX operating system. ELA1 can be used to display the failure cause and the physical location of failing hardware.

With the integrated Service Processor, the system has the ability to send out automatically an alert via phone line to a pager or call for service in the event of critical system failure. A hardware fault will also turn on the two Attention Indicators (one located on the front of the system unit and the other on the rear of the system unit) to alert the user of an internal hardware problem. The indicator may also be activated by the operator as a tool to allow system identification. For identification, the indicators will flash, whereas the indicator will be on solid when an error condition occurs.

Availability Enhancement Functions

  • Online (Concurrent) Diagnostics with ELA1 and Service Aids allows administrators or IBM Service representatives to diagnose potential system malfunctions without interrupting end-user operation.
  • The auto-restart (reboot) option, when enabled, can reboot the system automatically following an unrecoverable software error, software hang, hardware failure, or environmentally induced (ac power) failure.

Serviceability: The Models 6E3 and 6C3 are designed for customer setup of the machine and for subsequent addition of most features (adapters/devices)1. For a fee, IBM Service can perform the installation.

  • The Models 6E3 and 6C3 allow customers to replace service parts (customer replaceable units) if they want to do so. To accomplish this, the Models 6E3 and 6C3 have incorporated LEDs that will indicate the parts needing to be replaced.
  • The Models 6E3 and 6C3 allow support personnel to remotely log into a system to review error logs and perform remote maintenance. The Models 6E3 and 6C3 Service Processors enable the analysis of a system that will not boot.
  • The diagnostics consist of stand-alone diagnostics, which are loaded from the DVD-ROM drive, and online diagnostics1.
  • Online Diagnostics1, when installed, are resident with AIX on the disk or system. They can be booted in single-user mode (service mode), run in maintenance mode, or run concurrently (concurrent mode) with other applications. They have access to the AIX Error Log and the AIX Configuration Data.
    • Service mode allows checking of system devices and features.
    • Concurrent mode allows the normal system functions to continue while selected resources are being checked.
    • Maintenance mode allows checking of most system resources.
  • The System Management Services (SMS) error log is accessible from the SMS menu for tests performed through SMS programs. The Service Processor error log is accessible from the Service Processor menu for results of Service Processor tests.

Note: Because the 7029-6E3 and 6C3 systems have an optional diskette drive (#2611) and DVD-ROM (#2640), alternate methods for maintaining and servicing the system need to be available for use if the diskette drive and DVD-ROM are not ordered; an external Internet connection must be available to maintain or update system microcode to the latest required level.

Electronic Service Agent™: The Electronic Service Agent1 is available at no additional charge. When installed on the pSeries, the Electronic Service Agent can enhance IBM's ability to provide the system with maintenance service.

The Electronic Service Agent:

  • Monitors and analyzes system errors and, if needed, can automatically place a service call to IBM without customer intervention.
  • Can help reduce the effect of business disruptions due to unplanned system outages and failures.
  • Performs problem analysis on a subset of hardware-related problems and, with customer authorization, can report automatically the results to IBM Service.

Online Customer Support (OCS): OCS for hardware problem reporting may be performed via remote login by pSeries specialists using normal AIX facilities1. The Electronic Service Agent software can also be used for this capability.

AIX Support offerings will be under AIXSERV and Electronic Service Agent.

Linux Support

Linux does not support hot-swap DASD, hot-swap PCI slots, or hot-swap media bays. Models 6C3 and 6E3 DASD and memory supported on AIX V5.1 or AIX V5.2 is supported under Linux.

Only features supported on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for iSeries and pSeries systems, or later, can be ordered as part of the Linux ready express configurations. Other features supported on AIX V5.1 or AIX V5.2 may be MES ordered.

Additional information about Linux running on pSeries systems, can be found at:

Certain external machine types supported on the Models 6E3 and 6C3 require specific I/O adapters be installed in the 6E3/6C3. If those I/O adapters are not supported by SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for iSeries and pSeries or later, the external machine types cannot be ordered on the initial order. The configurator will produce a validation error and the configurator user will have to remove the external machine type from the initial order.

Storage Devices/Bays

  • There are two DASD 4-packs in the system, one mandatory (#6574) and one optional (#6574).
  • Media bays can contain an optional DVD-ROM in bay 3, an optional diskette in bay 2, and an optional DVD-RAM or tape drive in bay 4.
  • DVD-RAM (#2623) requires SCSI adapter (#6203 or follow-on) and cable (#4266).
  • If optional tape drive #6158, #6120, or #6134 is installed, cable #4263 is required. Cable #4263 requires #6158, #6120, or #6134 to be installed.
  • Place smallest-capacity DASD first, then place DASD with next highest capacity. Install DASD in ascending order capacity until all DASDs are in place.
  • Boot DASD is placed in DASD #8. If the system has one 4-pack installed, DASD is filled #7, #6, #5. If two 4-packs are installed, DASD is filled #4, #7, #3, #6, #2, #5, #1.

Note: Because the 7029-6E3 and -6C3 systems have an optional diskette drive (#2611) and DVD-ROM (#2640), alternate methods for maintaining and servicing the system need to be available for use if the diskette drive and DVD-ROM are not ordered; an external Internet connection must be available to maintain or update system microcode to the latest required level.

The designation of a part as IOR or CRU is independent of response time. It is possible that when upgrading to a warranty with improved response time, the appropriate problem resolution will still be to ship a CRU part to the customer for that installation.
