How Do Companies Typically Select a Platform for Their
Applications?


              ■   Their first question is:
                    – “Will it run there?”
              ■   Their second question is:
                    – “How much does the hardware cost?”


              They’re done!

              But this is just a TCA view…
              Is that all they should be thinking about?

Beware of a single Benchmark POC


     Stay away from performance benchmark tests that drive
     the IFL to 100% to determine maximum transactions
     compared to Intel/Power platforms.

     Linux on System z “sweet spot” is as a multi-tasker.

     A simple core to core comparison might not be the right
     approach

     I know in the past we had to say this because our CPU
     was slow – now this is no longer the case

Installation Planning: First Things First



 ■   Installing Linux is not like installing z/OS or z/VM (hopefully you’re
     not surprised)
 ■   For mainframe installs, you will need an installation server
 ■   It’s “best” if this is a Linux or UNIX system
 ■   There must be a usable TCP/IP network connection between the
     installation server and your target system
 ■   This means end-to-end, through whatever firewalls, routers,
     bridges, WAN links, whatever



43                                                                  © 2011 IBM Corporation
Disk Storage Selection

 ■   What kind of disk/DASD devices are you going to be using?
          – Directly attached (FICON or ESCON)
          – SCSI over FCP
          – iSCSI
          – SAN
          – NAS

 ■   SCSI over FCP gives better performance, and the SAN adapters are cheaper,
     but you might need additional adapters on the mainframe side. (Can be used for
     FICON or FCP, but not both at the same time.)


 ■   Make sure that your storage hardware is certified/compatible with z/VM & Linux
     on System z?


 ■   Who do you need to work with to make that work correctly?             © 2011 IBM Corporation

Don't turn a PoC into a Production Environment!




                A Proof of Concept is designed to demonstrate
                the feasibility of a solution.

                You should not confuse this with a system state
                which is either “close to production” or can be
                transferred into a production environment easily.

Linux on System z: Consolidation vs. New Applications


     Q: Are you using Linux on System z to consolidate workloads, host new applications or both?




                    Many users start with a Linux consolidation project or
                   deploy new applications, and then expand their use of
                              Linux on System z to do both.

Application Selection

 ■   What applications are you going to run?
 ■   Not everything that runs on Linux is available for Linux on System z. (Open
     Source included!)
 ■   Ask your ISVs to be specific; they may need to “get back to you.”
 ■   All Open Source, all commercial, or a mixture?
 ■   What are the virtual/real storage requirements for the applications to be run?
 ■   Oracle can be a tremendous storage hog: But the per-processor licensing can
     give big savings on the software license
 ■   How much disk space is going to be needed?
 ■   This can drive the decision on SCSI versus ECKD
 ■   Aggregating 3390-#'s into multiple Terabyte file systems is a pain

Deciding on a Distribution


 ■   IBM is natural: We usually don't recommend one distribution or the other.
 ■   Compared to the Linux on x86 market you are in the fortunate position that you
     only have to choose between two distributors
 ■   Novell and RedHat are strategic partners of IBM.
 ■   You can also run GNU/Debian Linux but then you can only get support from a
     limited number of 3rd parties (e.g. System z BP's) -also no ISV application is
     certified for Debian on z.
 ■   Don't ask us about the market share. Each distributor provides different numbers
     which add up to more than 100% and we don't track this data on our side




59                                                                            © 2011 IBM Corporation
Deciding on a Distribution: Some Advice


     ■   If you are already familiar with one distribution on x86 you might
         want to run the same flavor on the mainframe
     ■   If you plan to host an ISV application make sure that it is certified
         for the distribution of your choice (not all products are certified for
         each distro.
     ■   Also check the release level (e.g. 5.5, 10.2)
     ■   If you are still unsure, invite a representative of each distribution to
         your side

A typical customer: ACME Inc.



 ■   During the second half of 2010 ACME Inc. purchased an IBM System z mainframe to act
     as a server consolidation platform.
 ■   Hardware (excerpt)
           – IBM System z10 Enterprise Class
                    • Model: 2097-E12
                    • 96GB memory
                    • 3 Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) CPU's
           – IBM System Storage DS6800 Disk
                    • Model: 1750 522
                    • Parallel Access Volume (PAV) licence.
 ■   In z10 has been configured with 4 LPARs: Production, Development, Software and one
     reserved for future use.
 ■   The system is going to be used as a server consolidation platform.
           – Multiple WebSphere servers running on Intel machines will be consolidated to
             Linux servers running as virtualized guests hosted by the z/VM operating system.
           – Each LPAR will run a z/VM 5.4 operating system.

  • 43. Installation Planning: First Things First ■ Installing Linux is not like installing z/OS or z/VM (hopefully you’re not surprised) ■ For mainframe installs, you will need an installation server ■ It’s “best” if this is a Linux or UNIX system ■ There must be a usable TCP/IP network connection between the installation server and your target system ■ This means end-to-end, through whatever firewalls, routers, bridges, WAN links, whatever 43 © 2011 IBM Corporation
  • 44. Disk Storage Selection ■ What kind of disk/DASD devices are you going to be using? – Directly attached (FICON or ESCON) – SCSI over FCP – iSCSI – SAN – NAS ■ SCSI over FCP gives better performance, and the SAN adapters are cheaper, but you might need additional adapters on the mainframe side. (Can be used for FICON or FCP, but not both at the same time.) ■ Make sure that your storage hardware is certified/compatible with z/VM & Linux on System z? ■ Who do you need to work with to make that work correctly? © 2011 IBM Corporation 44
  • 45. Don't turn a PoC into a Production Environment! A Proof of Concept is designed to demonstrate the feasibility of a solution. You should not confuse this with a system state which is either “close to production” or can be transferred into a production environment easily. 45 © 2011 IBM Corporation

  • 55. Application Selection ■ What applications are you going to run? ■ Not everything that runs on Linux is available for Linux on System z. (Open Source included!) ■ Ask your ISVs to be specific; they may need to “get back to you.” ■ All Open Source, all commercial, or a mixture? ■ What are the virtual/real storage requirements for the applications to be run? ■ Oracle can be a tremendous storage hog: But the per-processor licensing can give big savings on the software license ■ How much disk space is going to be needed? ■ This can drive the decision on SCSI versus ECKD ■ Aggregating 3390-#'s into multiple Terabyte file systems is a pain Have a look at the IBM Linux on System z ISV Application Directory: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/solutions/isv/linuxproduct.html 55 © 2011 IBM Corporation

  • 58. Deciding on a Distribution Novell / SuSE Red Hat 58 © 2011 IBM Corporation
  • 59. Deciding on a Distribution ■ IBM is natural: We usually don't recommend one distribution or the other. ■ Compared to the Linux on x86 market you are in the fortunate position that you only have to choose between two distributors ■ Novell and RedHat are strategic partners of IBM. ■ You can also run GNU/Debian Linux but then you can only get support from a limited number of 3rd parties (e.g. System z BP's) -also no ISV application is certified for Debian on z. ■ Don't ask us about the market share. Each distributor provides different numbers which add up to more than 100% and we don't track this data on our side 59 © 2011 IBM Corporation
  • 60. Deciding on a Distribution: Some Advice ■ If you are already familiar with one distribution on x86 you might want to run the same flavor on the mainframe ■ If you plan to host an ISV application make sure that it is certified for the distribution of your choice (not all products are certified for each distro. ■ Also check the release level (e.g. 5.5, 10.2) ■ If you are still unsure, invite a representative of each distribution to your side 60 © 2011 IBM Corporation

  • 63. The Why, What of Cloning Why Cloning? – Standardized configurations – Facilitates maintenance testing & rollout – Time savings – Cost savings What can be cloned? – z/VM: Takes about 2-3 z/Linux: Virtual Servers are z/OS: It takes ~ 2.0-2.5 minutes to clone z/VM cloned in < 5 minutes.
