AIX 7.2 Highlights

IBM is introducing AIX 7.2, the IBM strategic UNIX operating system for mission-critical, core business applications, with the following features:

  • AIX Live Update for Interim Fixes.
  • Cluster Aware AIX (CAA) automation with repository replacement mechanism.
  • SRIOV-backed Virtual Network Interface Card (VNIC).
  • RDSv3 over RoCE, which adds support of the Oracle RDSv3 protocol over the Mellanox Connect RoCE

adapters.

  • Flash caching. Workloads can take advantage of a read-only cache.

Planned availability date - December 4, 2015

CEC Project Requirements

  • Use existing maintenance model and administrative tools (NIM, emgr, installp)
  • Start with live AIX kernel replacement for i-fixes, then in future extend to SPs and possibly TLs
  • Long term goal is to provide non-disruptive updates for all of AIX (kernel, commands, and Libs)

Target customers: Enterprise customers willing to invest in technology for better I/O performance Typical customer use cases:

  • I/O intensive workloads with a transactional DB
  • Data Warehouse applications

System requirement:

  • Standard AIX 7.2
  • Requires Flash storage

Steps for adoption:

  • Can be adopted right away. Simple admin set-up required to enable. Flash storage will be required

Key message – Potential performance improvement with caching of SAN data in server-attached Flash storage . No application change is required. All storage solution such as SSD or SAS attached drawer are supported. Additional performance improvements are seen from off-loading SAN traffic closer to the server

AIX 7.2 – Workload Optimization with Flash

Target customers: Oracle RAC on POWER customers Typical customer use cases:

  • Customers who are on or evaluating 40GB ethernet in their data centers
  • Customers evaluating PurePower which integrates 40 GB into the system

System Requirement:

  • Standard AIX 7.2
  • 40 GB Ethernet adapter. This is a feature code in POWER8
  • 40GB switch is included in PurePOWER, or can be ordered directly from Mellanox

Steps for adoption:

  • Oracle support of 40GB over IP on AIX was announced on September 1, ready to deploy today on AIX 7.1 and 6.1!
  • Oracle certification of AIX 7.2 with RDS for improved DB performance is being worked for future growth

Key message – Infrastructure simplification with users, applications and DB on one topology, eliminates need for specialized interconnect technology, and provides better performance and scaling

AIX 7.2 – Simplified and Optimized Oracle RAC on POWER

Target customers: Customers that have a need higher performing network adapters, better QOS and that use Live Partition Mobility Typical customer use cases:

  • Consolidated workloads on large high end servers where some workloads may require larger bandwidth

System requirement:

  • AIX software is part of standard AIX 7.2, and AIX 7.1 TL 4
  • PowerVM 2.2.4 is required
  • SR-IOV adapter is required

Steps for adoption:

  • Can be adopted right away. Simple admin set-up required to enable.
  • Supported on servers with POWER8 processors running PowerVM

Key message – vNIC enables Live Partition Mobility for SR-IOV adapters, SR-IOV adapters provide better QOS controls which allow guaranteed bandwidth to be assigned to each VM and reduced server resource consumption

AIX 7.2 – vNIC Adapter with SR-IOV Virtualization (Performance Optimized Virtual Networking)

Other AIX 7.2 Features

CAA automation with repository replacement mechanism

  • When the Storage Framework (SFW) detects primary (active) repository disk DOWN, it will notify CAA and CAA will

automatically replace the failed repository disk with a user-specified backup repository disk RDSv3 over RoCE adds support of the Oracle RDSv3 protocol over the Mellanox Connect RoCE adapters. Instead of requiring the IB network infrastructure, the feature allows the user to leverage the high-speed Ethernet connect and run the RDSv3 protocol over Oracle RAC cluster for higher performance. AIX Dynamic System Optimizer is now included as part of AIX 7.2. IBM BigFix Lifecycle provides an automated, simplified patching process that is administered from a single console. It provides near real-time visibility and enforcement to deploy and manage patches to all distributed endpoints. This

  • ffering will ship with AIX Enterprise editions.
