Step 1 - Assess Application Requirements
  • Selection of system components must be made in the context of total application requirements. Although the configuration of system components must be done in steps (for example, base packages, CPUs, memories, etc.), these steps cannot be done in isolation.
  • The order in which requirements are assessed is also important, since one requirement may impact others. Before proceeding, it would be useful to assess the total application requirements in the following order:
  • What level of availability is required?
  • If no single points of failure are allowed, then the solution should be configured as a multi-system cluster.
  • If access to specific devices must be assured, consider redundant adapters, RAID, N+1 power, redundant PCI drawers, and redundant consoles.
  • If software redundancy is required, consider clusters and/or hardware partitioning. The choice of hardware partitioning will generate a need for multiple master PCI drawers, multiple consoles, and I/O adapters.
  • If the ?/font>CPU On-Line Add and Remove?/font> feature is required, refer to document EK-GSHPG-RM for configuration and operational requirements.
  • Is hardware partitioning required for optimal system management?
  • What overall capacities are required in terms of processor performance, memory capacity, and disk storage?
  • What are the near-term system expansion needs?
  • How will system cabinets be physically arranged? This will determine if expansion cabinets are required and what cable lengths are required.
NOTES: Most configuration steps require that these data be considered in whole or in part. Be sure to execute each step in the context of the total application requirements.
 
System Ordering Requirements:
Certain system components or services are either required for normal operation or are recommended for best system performance and/or operation. This document uses the following definitions to specify these options:
  • Mandatory purchase: The system cannot function without this option or service - the option or service must be ordered with the system.
  • Required to function: This option or service is needed to support a working system - the option or service must be ordered with the system or be available onsite.
  • Recommended: System performance or function will be enhanced if this option or service is ordered.
 
Step 2 - Select base system
AlphaServer GS80 systems require selection of the following items:
Mandatory Purchases:
  • Base system with operating system license (either OpenVMS or Tru64 UNIX) that includes one 1001-MHz CPU module
  • Minimum of one memory module
Required Options and Services:
  • Software media and documentation for first system onsite
  • Installation and/or startup services
  • System management console or device and software with equivalent functionality
Recommended Services:
  • CarePaq?/font> Priority Service Plan
  • VIS Services
NOTE: The base system package should be selected in the context of the number of hardware partitions required, the total capacity required, and the anticipated near-term system growth.

Step 4 - Select Memory Options
  • Memory options are engineered specifically for use with this series and include additional components, which are integral to the system architecture.
  • Memory options consist of a series of base modules that contain one memory array. A second array (called ?/font> upgrades?/font> in the table) may be added to a base module in the factory or in the field.
0.5-GB GS80/160/320 base memory module 3X-MS8AA-AB
0.5-GB GS80/160/320 memory DIMM upgrade 3X-MS8AA-AU
1-GB GS80/160/320 base memory module 3X-MS8AA-BB
1-GB GS80/160/320 memory DIMM upgrade 3X-MS8AA-BU
2-GB GS80/160/320 base memory module 3X-MS8AA-CB
2-GB GS80/160/320 memory DIMM upgrade 3X-MS8AA-CU
4-GB GS80/160/320 base memory module 3X-MS8AA-DB
4-GB GS80/160/320 memory DIMM upgrade 3X-MS8AA-DU
     
Memory Configuration Guidelines
Memory options should be selected in the context of the application's sensitivity to memory bandwidth and memory capacity, and the number of hardware partitions. This will determine the number of memory base modules and upgrades needed. The total capacity required will determine the size of the arrays to be chosen.
The configuration of memory may influence the performance of applications, and there are numerous ways to configure the choices of memory base modules and upgrade DIMMs. The following general guidelines can lead to several configuration choices. Application-specific guidelines will help narrow down the choices.
  • Configuring for capacity: The highest capacity is achieved when the 3X-MS8AA-DB/DU combination is used.
  • Configuring for performance: Interleaved operations reduce the average latency and increase the memory throughput over non-interleaved operations. Each memory base module is capable of 4-way interleaving with one array (no upgrades added) or 8-way interleaving with two arrays (base module plus one upgrade). A system drawer is configured with eight arrays (four base modules plus four array upgrades) provides 32-way interleaving and has the maximum potential memory bandwidth. Refer to ?/font> Memory Applications Examples?/font> below to determine which applications gain the most benefit from this bandwidth.
  • Memory modules should be configured in powers of 2: That is, 0, 1, 2, or 4 base modules in a system drawer. Upgrades should also be installed in powers of 2: 0, 1, 2, or 4 base modules in a system drawer.
  • Although mixed-capacity memory modules may be configured, the highest bandwidth is achieved when a system drawer is populated with eight identical arrays: four base modules and four upgrades. The next-highest bandwidth would be four base modules (four arrays).
  • If it is not possible to match the capacities of all the arrays, the next best choice is to configure pairs of identical base modules, or base module/upgrade combinations. For example, a configuration of two 2-GB base modules (3X-MS8AA-CB), each with a 1-GB upgrade (3X-MS8AA-BU) is a better choice than a configuration of three 2-GB modules (3X-MS8AA-CB).
  
Memory Application Examples
Configuring memory is a compromise between cost, total memory capacity, and memory bandwidth requirements. The behavior of the application must be used to define the most-desired configuration. Some applications are sensitive to memory capacity, some are sensitive to memory bandwidth, some are sensitive to neither. If actual application measurements are not available, the following may be used as guidelines:
  • Large memory (VLM) applications, in which large amounts of memory can substantially reduce I/O, may be optimized for total memory capacity and future capacity growth. In VLM applications, the right balance might be one memory base module, with upgrade, for every two CPUs. This would result in one memory array per CPU.
  • Typical commercial applications, such as transaction processing (OLTP) and multi-user timesharing, usually operate efficiently from cache and may not be materially affected by memory bandwidth. Memory configuration is a balance between memory bandwidth and future capacity growth. It is advisable to match the number of arrays to the number of CPUs.
  • Data mining can benefit from additional memory bandwidth. It is best to match the number of memory base modules to the number of CPUs.
  • The most demanding high-performance technical applications (HPTC) achieve a performance level that is directly proportional to memory bandwidth. In these cases, configure one memory base module, with upgrade, per CPU. This results in two memory arrays per CPU.

The following table represents how 8 GB could be configured in a 4-CPU QBB system drawer in each of the four referenced applications. The numbers under each application represent how many of each memory option should be ordered.

  
Memory Configuration Examples – Configuring a system drawer with a total of 8 GB for specific applications
    Application
      VLM OLTP, Timesharing Data Mining HPTC
1-GB base module (3X-MS8AA-BB) - - - 4
1-GB upgrade (3X-MS8AA-BU) - - - 4
2-GB base module (3X-MS8AA-CB) 2 2 4 -
2-GB upgrade (3X-MS8AA-CU) 2 2 - -
The following additional configuration options utilizing the 4-GB base module are available:
4-GB base module (3X-MS8AA-DB) 2 2 N/R N/R
4-GB upgrade (3X-MS8AA-DU) - -    
NOTE: N/R = Not recommended - For these applications, configure either four or eight like-sized memory options rather than one or two.
 
Step 5 - Evaluate Configuration Requirements to Support Optional Partitioning
Configuration Requirements for Partitions
  • Configuring partitions requires some attention to detail with respect to minimum requirements for option selection, population, and option placement.
  • A single AlphaServer GS80 Model 8 can be divided into two logical hardware partitions, each running an instance of Tru64 UNIX or an instance of OpenVMS. Each partition is allocated its own dedicated ?/font> shared-nothing?/font> set of hardware resources: System Drawer (s), CPU module(s), memory module(s), and I/O.
  • Multiple-drawer (QBB) hard partitions within a GS80 server do not provide complete hardware failure isolation across hard partitions. Single hard partitioned drawers (QBBs) within the server do provide hardware failure isolation.
  • Each hardware partition is viewed as a unique node, from a system point-of-view, with its own instance of Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating system and application software, independent system console, and error log.
  • In the AlphaServer GS80, each of the two hardware partitions is defined by a single system drawer.
  • One system management console (3X-DS8xA-xx) and one console hub (3X-DS8AA-AA) recommended per system.
  • Supported option rules apply for maximum configurations of each AlphaServer GS80 system partition. Care must be exercised to ensure that any planned reconfiguration of hardware partitions will not violate option support rules.
  
Minimum Hardware Required per AlphaServer GS80 Hardware Partition
Each hardware partition requires one system drawer and that drawer must be configured with the minimum hardware listed below. Each system drawer can be configured with additional hardware once this minimum requirement is met.
  • One Alpha 21264 6/1001-MHz CPU module
  • One 3X-MS8AA-BB/CB/DB memory module (1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB)
  • One 3X-KFWHA-BA system I/O module and one 3X-DWWPA-AA master PCI drawer. Depending upon the configuration, this may require the use of a 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF expansion cabinet.
  • AlphaServer GS80 systems are normally configured according to standard module placement rules, and are shipped with one copy of the operating system installed at the factory (Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS). However, systems with hardware partitions offer hardware and software configuration flexibility. Factory Integration Services (VIS) are recommended to enable custom module configuration and factory installation of multiple copies of the operating system on hardware partitioned systems.
 
Optimizing System Resources
The following configuration guidelines can be used to improve performance in systems or in each partition of a hardware-partitioned system.
  • Balance the resources in the system (or hardware partition) based upon the available backplane space and the proposed option populations:
  • Sparsely configured systems, those that are using half or less than half of their available capacity for CPUs, memory, and PCI drawers, should be configured with the options concentrated in as few system drawers as possible. For example, a GS80 Model 8 with four CPUs, four memory modules, and two PCI drawers would usually be configured in the first system drawer. The first system drawer would be ?/font> active?/font> and the second system drawer would be available for expansion.
  • Densely populated systems, those that are using more than half of their available capacity for CPUs, memory, and PCI drawers, should be configured with the options spread out across both system drawers.
  • Configure active system drawers symmetrically, each with CPUs, memory, and PCI drawers.
  • Configure the I/O adapters so that each active system drawer has direct access to the most frequently accessed data.
    
System Software Required for AlphaServer GS80 Hardware Partition Support
Software Licensing for Hardware Partitions
  • Base systems include operating system license (Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS) that licenses up to two hardware partitions
User and capacity-based licensing is unaffected by hardware partitions. Examples:
  • If a product is licensed for 200 concurrent users, these users can be split among the partitions, but cannot exceed 200 total users.
  • If users have a departmental (license code ?/font> G?/font> ) capacity license for a product, that license can be loaded into the license databases on each of the hardware partitions.
  
Licensing Partitioned AlphaServer GS80 Systems for Both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX
  • If the system requires both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX operating systems be licensed, one operating system license is included in the base system and the second is added as a line item. The second operating system license upgrade, which includes the license for only one CPU, would be added to the order using the following part numbers. Order appropriate media and documentation kits from Step 13.
OpenVMS software upgrade for GS80 QB-63PAG-AG
Tru64 UNIX software upgrade for GS80 QB-595AM-AA
    
  • Only those SMP processors intended for use with the second operating system must be similarly licensed. Use the following license-only part numbers to add an SMP license for any CPUs intended for use with the second operating system:
OpenVMS Alpha SMP license for GS80 QL-MT1A9-6Q
Tru64 UNIX Alpha SMP license for GS80 QL-MT4A9-6Q
  
  • The order of licensing is not important, but the following examples are similarly constructed for clarity: The configuration starts with a Tru64 UNIX base system part number and the addition of OpenVMS licenses.
Example 1: 8-CPU GS80 system in which all processors are licensed for both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX:
  • Base system order would include a DA-A80BE-Ax and seven 3X-KN8AB-AB SMP upgrade CPUs
  • Add one QB-63PAG-AG OpenVMS software upgrade and seven QL-MT1A9-6Q OpenVMS Alpha SMP licenses
   
Example 2: 8-CPU GS80 system in which all the processors are licensed for Tru64 UNIX and four processors are also licensed for OpenVMS
  • Base system order would include a DA-A80AE-Ax and seven 3X-KN8AB-AB SMP upgrade CPUs
  • Add one QB-63PAG-AG OpenVMS software upgrade and three QL-MT1A9-6Q OpenVMS Alpha SMP licenses
  • User and capacity-based licenses would be added for the second operating system environment as though it were a standalone system.
     
Step 6 - Configure Packaging Options
Step 6a - Redundant (N+1) Power Supplies
  • Power supplies included with Model 4 and Model 8 systems can support all combinations of CPUs, memory, and I/O that can be configured within the system boxes.
  • Additional 48V power regulators can be ordered to provide N+1 power redundancy.
  • For Model 4 systems, order one power supply to achieve N+1 capability; for Model 8 systems, order two power supplies to achieve N+1 capability.

Black I/O expansion cabinet for use with GS80 systems, includes two 200-240V single-phase power controllers and cords for use in U.S., Canada, and Japan – supports dual AC input configurations 3X-H9A20-AF
  • If large quantities of disks are required, the use of StorageWorks Storage Array cabinets and components is highly recommended.
  • Systems installed in the US and Canada may use the 3X-H9A20-AD cabinet when 120V input power is required. In all other cases, the 3X-H9A20-AF cabinet is preferred because of the ability to support dual AC input.
  • 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF cabinets may be joined to a GS80 system. PCI drawers placed in these cabinets require 7-meter I/O cables.
  • 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF cabinets may be placed up to 6 meters from the system cabinet. Multiple expander cabinets may be connected to one another or placed separately. Each group of free-standing H9A20 cabinets requires an end-panel trim kit (CK-H9A20-AB).
  • PCI drawers placed in remote cabinets require 10-meter I/O cables.

I/O module cables for connection between I/O module and master or expansion PCI drawers mounted in 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF expansion cabinet adjacent to system; two cables (BN39B-07 or BN39B-10) are mandatory per PCI drawer. BN39B-07
I/O module cables for connection between I/O module and master or expansion PCI drawers mounted in second expansion cabinet or in remote 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF expansion cabinets; two cables (BN39B-07 or BN39B-10) are mandatory per PCI drawer. BN39B-10
      
Step 7 - Storage
Step 7a - PCI UltraSCSI Adapters and Controllers
  • Tru64 UNIX can support more SCSI controllers per hardware partition than can be configured in the AlphaServer GS80 system. Refer to the ?/font> Supported Options List?/font> for specific rules.
  • OpenVMS supports 24 KZPBA-CB/3X-KZPBA-CC SCSI controllers per system.
  • Each master PCI drawer contains an embedded SCSI controllers that must be included in the total count of SCSI controllers configured in the system (or partition). Tru64 UNIX counts FIS disk and CD-ROM as an embedded SCSI device. OpenVMS counts the FIS disk only as an embedded SCSI device. Therefore, one (OpenVMS) or two (Tru64 UNIX) SCSI controllers per master PCI drawer must be included in the total count of SCSI devices in the system.
  • For cluster configurations, use Y cable (BN39A-0G).
  • Manufacturing may substitute correct cable lengths depending on configuration.
NOTE: ?/font> Per System?/font> quantities apply to systems or to each hardware partition. The SCSI adapters included in the base system or in 3x-DWWPA-AA master PCI drawers must be included in this calculation.

Step 9 - MEMORY CHANNEL
  • Up to two PCI System Area Network controllers supported on a GS80e partition
  • Two-node clusters can be configured by ordering a CCMAB-AA for each node and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable; cable connects directly to CCMAB-AA in each node.
  • For a two-node cluster that will not be rebooted when adding additional members, order one CCMAB-AA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each node, and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster.
  • For three or four node clusters, order one CCMAB-AA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each node and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster
  • CCMHB-AA includes four CCMLB-AA line cards and supports up to four nodes; expansion up to eight system nodes can be achieved by adding up to four additional CCMLB-AA line cards
  • If two or more CCMAB-AA controllers are configured in each node (dual rail), a second CCMHB-AA hub is required
  • If using a MEMORY CHANNEL adapter module (54-24962-01) prior to revision D02, up to two MEMORY CHANNEL adapters can be placed on a PCI bus, however, no additional PCI devices can be placed on the same PCI bus, and the remaining slots must be left empty
     
Tru64 UNIX Systems (V5.1 and later) in Clusters using MEMORY CHANNEL Interconnect
  • Each system in the cluster requires a TruCluster Server software license
    (QL-6BRAG-AA)
  • Alternately a TruCluster Plus Software package including licenses for: TruCluster Server, Logical Storage Manager, and AdvFS Utilities can be ordered
    (QP-6R9AG-AA)
  
OpenVMS Systems in Clusters using MEMORY CHANNEL Interconnect
  • Requires OpenVMS V7.2-1H1 or later and OpenVMS Cluster license
    (QL-MUZAG-AA)
  
MEMORY CHANNEL Fiber Optic Cable Option
  • In cases where nodes must be separated by a longer distance than standard copper cables allow, the CCMFB option converts the output of the standard CCMAB controller or CCMLB line card to single-mode fiber optic cable. The fiber optic connection may be up to 2,000 meters long between two CCMAB controllers connected in virtual hub mode, or 3,000 meters between a CCMAB controller and a CCMHB hub. (The connection from the CCMHB hub to a second system may also be 3,000 meters). The CCMFB option requires a second PCI slot in the system from which it draws power only. It is normally connected to the corresponding CCMAB controller with the short BN39B-01 cable. The CCMFB is also used in the CCMHB hub where it occupies a slot normally used by the CCMLB line card, limiting expansion to four radial fiber optic connections.
  • The CCMHB-BA hub expansion box provides additional slots for up to eight fiber optic connections. Two standard length, single-mode fiber optic cables are available (BN34R-10 and BN34R-31); however, users normally provide this connection. Customers should reference the TIA/EIA 568-A Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard, Section 12.3.4. Fiber optic connectivity is completely transparent to the systems using it and has no performance impact.
  • Up to two CCMHB-AA hubs may be mounted in a 3X-H9A20-AD expansion cabinet by utilizing a 2T-MAVRK-AA rack-mounting kit for each hub. A second MEMORY CHANNEL Hub (CCMHB-AA or CCMHM-BA) mounted in an expansion cabinet reduces the amount of StorageWorks shelves by one.

Step 10 - System Console Support
System Management Console
  • AlphaServer GS80 systems require the ability to log console messages, provide remote access for service and support, and, in some cases, manage multiple hardware partitions. The system management console is mandatory if the customer has no other means to provide these capabilities.
  • PC-based system management console is required for system power-up, diagnostics, console partitioning, and console display and logging for use with AlphaServer GS80 systems.
  • Includes network interface cards, universal modem, Compaq console software, 101-key keyboard, mouse, and console documentation kit
  • A monitor is required for use with the system management console. Choose monitor listed in Step 12.
  • Systems configured with redundant consoles or employing hardware partitioning require the ability to connect multiple consoles. A console hub is mandatory if the customer has no other means to provide these capabilities.
  • Console printer recommended, but not required.
