RAS strategy for IBM S/390 G5 and G6
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Reliability/Availability/Serviceability (RAS) strategy for S/390T G5 and G6 is to continue the S/390 objective of providing Continuous Reliable Operation (CRO). The RAS strategy is constructed with a set of building blocks which work closely together: error prevention, error detection, error recovery, problem determination, service structure, change management, and RAS measurement and analysis. The interdependency among the building blocks is such that removing or weakening any of them limits the ability of the design to achieve the overall CRO objective. Each building block must be fully implemented and must execute flawlessly within itself and together with the other blocks.

The CMOS-based IBM S/390 Parallel Enterprise Servers have always employed the technique of memory caching to bridge the gap between processor speed and mainmemory access time. However, that gap has widened with each succeeding system generation, requiring increasingly sophisticated, multiple-level cache structures in order to minimize memory-access latency. The IBM S/390 G5 and G6 include two-l...

The IBM S/390 fifth-generation CMOS-based server (more commonly known as the G5) produced a dramatic improvement in system-level performance in comparison with its predecessor, the G4. Much of this improvement can be attributed to an innovative approach to the cache and memory hierarchy: the binodal cache architecture. This design features shared caching and very high sustainable bandwidths at ...

A high-speed interface has been designed for interconnection of the S/390 I/O subsystem to the IBM S/390 G5 processor. The self-timed interface (STI) provides high bandwidth, greater communication distances, and simpler timing within the S/390 servers than traditional interfaces. The STI communicates between the memory bus adapter and the expanded S/390 I/O subsystem, which now includes the new...
