Overview

New market forces are changing the face of every industry, requiring almost every business to transform. Successful leaders see possibilities by embracing digital business. This means supporting existing clients with new services and offerings, while providing an environment that helps previously underserved businesses and citizens to gain access to products, services, and societal benefits. A successful journey through your transformation requires an underlying IT infrastructure that is efficient, secure, adaptive, and integrated. This IT infrastructure must be designed to handle the explosive growth of increasingly mobile clients and employees, able to leverage new and vast amounts of data, and able to provide deeper real-time insight at the point of the greatest business impact, and it needs to do this with a secure and resilient cloud-ready infrastructure.

Today, along with announcing a new server, the IBM z13, IBM is also announcing a new family name for its System z® server family. IBM System z has been renamed to IBM z Systems. This new name will encompass every IBM Mainframe from S/360 through the new z13, and all future systems. The name change serves to signal evolution of the product line, positioning of expanding capabilities, and the role of the mainframe in the new digital era of IT.

The IBM z13 provides the infrastructure that will help differentiate you as a refined digital business. It offers the capacity and processing power to improve business performance and growth. It helps better protect sensitive transactions to minimise business risk and client exposure, and it helps to deliver on service level agreements for an exceptional customer experience. New economic efficiencies allow the IBM z13 to offer more throughput and capabilities with less impact to the IT budget.

z/OS V2.1 running on IBM z13 sets the groundwork for digital business by providing the foundation you need to support demanding workloads such as operational analytics and clouds alongside your traditional mission-critical applications. z/OS V2.1 continues to support the z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) which can take advantage of simultaneous multithreading. z/OS V2.1 is designed to support the new vector extension facility (SIMD) instructions available on IBM z13 servers to provide a powerful framework for development of new Business Analytics workloads, porting math-intensive workloads from other platforms, and accelerating Business Analytics workloads on IBM z13.

z/OS features many I/O-related enhancements such as extending the reach of workload management into the SAN fabric. With enhancements to management and operations, z/OS V2.1 and z/OS Management Facility V2.1 can help systems administrators and other personnel handle configuration tasks with ease. Recent Mobile Workload Pricing for z/OS can help reduce the cost of growth for mobile transactions processed by programs such as IBM CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS, IMS™, and DB2® for z/OS. Also refer to the preview announcement for z/OS V2.2, Software Announcement A15-0006, dated January 14, 2015, which describes additional new capabilities that extend the value of the platform.

The new 141-core design delivers massive scale across all workloads and enables cost-saving consolidation opportunities. z/VM® V6.3 has been enhanced to exploit simultaneous multithreading offered on the new processor chip. When running on IBM z13, z/VM supports twice as many processors (up to 64) or as many as 64 threads for Linux workloads. With support for sharing OSA-Express Port Groups across z/VM systems within a central processor complex (CPC), z/VM V6.3 delivers increased optimization of OSA-Express and reduced cost of ownership for IEEE 802.3 Link Aggregation networking environments.

The IBM z13 brings a new approach for enterprise-grade Linux with offerings and capabilities for availability, virtualization with z/VM, and a focus on open standards and architecture with new support of KVM on the mainframe (see Statements of General Direction ). Best of all, many of our clients have IBM zEnterprise EC12 (zEC12) and IBM zEnterprise 196 (z196) servers, which can be upgraded to the IBM z13 for the greatest levels of investment protection.

Today's announcement extends IBM z Systems leadership with:

• Up to 40% more total system capacity compared to the zEC12.
• Up to 10 terabytes (TB) of available Redundant Array of Independent Memory (RAIM) real memory per server.

  • Forward Error Correction (FEC) capabilities have been added to the FICON Express16S channels which allows those channels to operate at higher speeds, over longer distances, with reduced power and higher throughput, while retaining the same resiliency and robustness that clients have come to expect from their FICON channels.
  • FICON Dynamic Routing enables exploitation of Storage Area Network (SAN) dynamic routing polices in the fabric to lower cost, improve performance, and simplify systems management for supporting I/O devices.
  • Storage Area Network (SAN) Fabric I/O Priority extends the z/OS Work Load Manager to the SAN fabric providing improved resilience and autonomic capabilities.
  • High Performance FICON for z Systems (zHPF) has been enhanced to allow all large write operations (> 64 KB) at distances up to 100 km to be executed in a single round trip to the control unit thereby not elongating the I/O service for these write operations at extended distances.
  • Improved channel subsystem (CSS) scalability supports six logical channel subsystems (LCSS), four subchannel sets (to support more devices per logical channel subsystem), and 32K devices per FICON channel.

The performance advantage

IBM's Large Systems Performance Reference (LSPR) method is designed to provide comprehensive z/Architecture processor capacity ratios for different configurations of Central Processors (CPs) across a wide variety of system control programs and workload environments. For IBM z13, the z/Architecture processor capacity indicator is defined with a 4XX, 5XX, 6XX, or 7XX notation, where XX is the number of installed CPs.

In addition to the general information provided for z/OS V2.1, the LSPR also contains performance relationships for z/VM and Linux operating environments.

The performance of an IBM z13 (2964) processor is expected to be up to 1.1 times the performance of a zEC12 (2827) based on workload and model. The largest IBM z13 (2964-7E1) is expected to provide up to 1.4 times the capacity of the largest zEC12 (2827-7A1).

The IFL and zIIP processors on the IBM z13 also provide an optional IBM z13 multithreading technology capability; with the multithreading function enabled, the performance capacity of the IFL is expected to be up to 1.3 times the performance capacity of these processors on the zEC12; the performance capacity of the zIIP processors is expected to be up to 1.4 times the performance capacity of these processors on the zEC12.

The LSPR contains the Internal Throughput Rate Ratios (ITRRs) for the IBM z13 and the previous-generation IBM z Systems processor families based upon measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user may experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated.

For more detailed performance information, consult the Large Systems Performance Reference (LSPR) available at

http://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/lib03060.nsf/pages/lsprindex?OpenDocument

Simultaneous multithreading (SMT)

Incremental throughput is achieved partly because the new processor chip offers intelligently implemented 2-way simultaneous multithreading. Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) allows two active instruction streams per core, each dynamically sharing the core's execution resources. SMT will be available in IBM z13 for workloads running on the Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) and the IBM z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP).

Each software Operating System / Hypervisor has the ability to intelligently drive SMT in a way that is best for its unique requirements. z/OS SMT management consistently drives the cores to high thread density, in an effort to reduce SMT variability and deliver repeatable performance across varying CPU utilization - thus providing more predictable SMT capacity. z/VM SMT management optimizes throughput by spreading a workload over the available cores until it demands the additional SMT capacity.

Next-generation availability

The IBM z13 continues the drive for continuous reliable operation provided by its predecessors with the following Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) improvements:

• Improved soft error resilience in the processor cores
• Lane shadowing, hardware buffer retry, and independent channel recovery which are designed to improve the DIMM interface
• Continued use of RAIM in the main memory to protect DRAM
• Improved robustness in the level 3 and level 4 cache
• Improved FRU isolation with the addition of integrated time domain reflectometry logic to chip interfaces
• RAS changes to adjust to the new CPC drawer structure
• Enhanced integrated sparing designed to reduce the complexity and number of repair actions

Flash Express is designed to help improve availability and handling of paging workload spikes when running z/OS V1.13 with the z/OS V1.13 RSM Enablement Offering web deliverable, and this function is integrated in z/OS V2.1. With this support, z/OS is designed to help improve system availability and responsiveness by using Flash Express across transitional workload events such as market openings, and diagnostic data collection. z/OS is also designed to help improve processor performance by supporting middleware exploitation of pageable large (1 MB) pages. Flash Express can also be used in coupling facility images to provide extended capacity and availability for workloads making use of Websphere MQ Shared Queues structures, as previously announced for zEC12. Using Flash Express can help availability by reducing latency from paging delays that can occur at the start of the workday or during other transitional periods. It is also designed to help eliminate delays that can occur when collecting diagnostic data during failures. Flash Express can therefore help organizations meet their most demanding service level agreements enabling them to compete more effectively. Flash Express is designed to be easy to configure, and to provide rapid time to value.

IBM zAware: With IBM zEnterprise EC12 and BC12, IBM introduced a new technology, IBM zAware, based on machine learning developed by IBM Research.

The new version of IBM zAware introduces a new generation of technology with improved analytics to provide better results. The previous version of IBM zAware required message streams with well-formed message IDs; now IBM zAware can process message streams that do not have message IDs. This opens up new possibilities going forward with the ability to handle a broader variety of unstructured data.

IBM zAware delivered on IBM z13 builds on previous IBM zAware function with:

• Support for Linux on z Systems message log analysis
• Support for native or guest Linux on z Systems images
• The ability to process message streams with no message IDs
• The ability to group multiple systems that have similar operational characteristics for modeling and analysis
  • Recognition of dynamic activation and deactivation of a Linux image into a group, and appropriate modeling and analysis.
  • Aggregated Sysplex view for z/OS and system views.
  • User-defined grouping. For Linux on IBM z Systems, the user can group multiple systems' data into a combined model: by workload (one for all web servers, one for all databases, and so on); by "solution" (for instance, one model for your cloud); or by VM host.
• Heat map display which provides a consolidated/aggregated/higher level view with the ability to drill down to detail views
• Improved usability and GUI functional enhancements addressing many customer requirements
  • Enhanced filtering and visualization, with better use of GUI real estate
  • Improved UI navigation
  • Display of local time in addition to UTC time
  • Enhancements based on IBM One UI guidelines
• Enhanced analytics
• More robust data store
• Expanded browser support with Mozilla Firefox 31 and Internet Explorer 9, 10, and 11

IBM zAware is designed to use near real-time continuous learning algorithms, providing a diagnostics capability intended to help you quickly pinpoint problems, which in turn, can lead to better availability and a more efficient system. IBM zAware uses analytics to intelligently examine z/OS or Linux on z Systems messages to find unusual patterns, inconsistencies, and variations. Large operating system environments can sometimes generate more than 25 million messages per day. This can make manual analysis time-consuming and error-prone when exceptional problems occur. IBM zAware provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) and APIs to help you find message anomalies quickly which can help speed problem resolution when seconds count.

Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 5+ (EAL 5+) certification

The IBM z13 is designed for Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 5+ (EAL 5+) certification for security of logical partitions. This means that the IBM z13 is designed to prevent an application running on one operating system image on one LPAR from accessing application data running on a different operating system image on another LPAR on the server.

Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) enhancements

VISA Format Preserving Encryption (VFPE)

Support for VISA Format Preserving Encryption (VFPE) algorithms in CCA-based callable services. This support will rely on the Crypto Express5S coprocessor. Format Preserving Encryption (FPE) refers to a method of encrypting data such that the resulting cipher-text has the same format and length as the input-clear text. This helps allow legacy databases to contain encrypted data of sensitive fields without having to restructure the database or applications. Supported are functions for the VISA Data Secure Platform (Visa DSP) with Point to Point Encryption technology. Three new Visa DSP-related callable services are added to the CCA API. In addition to VFPE, support for the Visa DSP standard TDES encryption method is also available.

Greater than 16 Domain support

Support to allow a cryptographic coprocessor to be shared across more than 16 domains, up to the maximum number of LPARs on the system. This support relies on enhanced firmware available with a minimum microcode level for the Crypto Express5S coprocessors. With the adjunct processor (AP) extended addressing (APXA) facility installed, the z Systems crypto architecture can support greater than 16 domains in an AP. Customers will have the flexibility of mapping individual LPARs to unique crypto domains or continuing to share crypto domains across LPARs.

Trusted Key Entry (TKE) 8.0 Licensed Internal Code (LIC)

The following functions are planned to be supported in the TKE 8.0 level of LIC:

The Crypto Express5S Coprocessor support: TKE 8.0 is required for managing Crypto Express5S cryptographic coprocessors and manages them through the same Crypto Module notebook functions as previous generations of Cryptographic modules. The configuration migration tasks feature of the TKE is planned to be enhanced to also support the Crypto Express5S coprocessor. You can use TKE 8.0 to collect data from previous generations of Cryptographic modules and apply the data to Crypto Express5S coprocessors.

FIPS Certified Smart Card: A FIPS certified smart card, part number 00JA710, is now included in the smart card reader and additional smart cards optional features. The new smart card part number is 00JA710.

Crypto Coprocessors with more than 16 domains: TKE 8.0 is planned to allow the management of domains beyond the current limit of 16. This support will require the latest levels of code on the IBM z13 to allow more than 16 domains on the Crypto Express5S. This support is only available with z13.

Full function migration wizard for EP11: The full function migration wizard is designed to provide the ability to quickly and accurately collect and apply data to the Crypto Express features configured as EP11 coprocessors. This wizard previously supported CCA, however Crypto Module Group support has been removed: Crypto Module Groups are no longer supported on TKE 8.0. All group management must now be done from a Domain Group.

New master key management functions: TKE 8.0 is planned to allow support of two new master key management functions which are available when managing any type of master key:

1. Generate a set of master key parts wizard-like feature which allows you to create a new key part for each of the different types of master keys.
2. Load all new master keys wizard-like feature which allows you to load a new key for each of the different types of master keys.

Smart Card Readers Available indicator: TKE 8.0 is planned to now display a window title that will include information if the smart card readers are available if the application or utility has access to smart card readers.

Configure Displayed Hash Size: TKE 8.0 is planned to support a configuration to allow the administrator to set the display length of certain hash values displayed on the TKE workstation. Hash types that can be affected by this function are: MDC-4, SHA-1, AES-VP, and ENC-ZERO. The Configure Display Hash Size utility is only available when you have signed on with the Privileged Mode Access user ID of ADMIN.

ECC Authority Signature Keys: TKE 8.0 is planned to allow a user to select a key strength of 320-bit ECC key when creating an Authority Signature Key that is to be assigned to an Authority Index on a Crypto Express5S coprocessor. This option is only available when you are creating an Authority Signature key from inside a Crypto Module Notebook of a Crypto Express5S.

Print Capability: TKE 8.0 is planned to have limited print support. The Configure Printers utility allows the administrator to add printers to the TKE. The only printers allowed to be added are printers that have device drivers on the TKE including the GUTENPRINT and HPLIP device driver packages. You will not be able to load your own device drivers.

New Features in the Crypto Node Management (CNM) Utility: The TKE Workstation Setup utility allows you to load and save user roles and profiles. The CNM utility now has stand-alone launch points for these two tasks in the Access Control pull down menu.

ENC-Zero Verification Pattern for 24-byte DES Operational Keys: TKE 8.0 is planned to support an ENC-Zero verification pattern that is computed and displayed with 24-byte DES operational keys.

Usability Enhancements: TKE 8.0 is planned to have many usability enhancements including the ability for users to select a check box that will allow them to change their passphrase on the logon screen for a passphrase profile. Additionally, users can now select multiple items in the Hosts container, Crypto Module Groups container, or Domain Groups container of the main window of the TKE application. If more than one item is selected, you can delete all of the definitions or close all of the hosts or groups at once.

FICON Express16S - a new generation for FICON, zHPF, and FCP

IBM is releasing a new I/O infrastructure that will strengthen the synergy between DS8870 and IBM z Systems, delivering improved, predictable, and repeatable performance, and enhanced resiliency for mission-critical environments. IBM plans to announce the support of this new I/O infrastructure for DS8870 Storage Systems in May of 2015.

NOTE: IBM's statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice at IBM's sole discretion. Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision. The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise, or legal obligation to deliver any material, code, or functionality. Information about potential future products may not be incorporated into any contract. The development, release, and timing of any future features or functionality described for our products remain at our sole discretion.

With the introduction of FICON Express16S on the IBM z13, you now have additional growth opportunities for your Storage Area Network (SAN). FICON Express16S supports a link data rate of 16 gigabits per second (Gbps) and auto-negotiation to 4 or 8 Gbps for synergy with existing switches, directors, and storage devices. With support for native FICON, High Performance FICON for z Systems (zHPF), and Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP), the IBM z13 server enables you to position your SAN for even higher performance -- helping you to prepare for an end-to-end 16 Gbps infrastructure to meet the lower latency and increased bandwidth demands of your applications.

The new FICON Express16S channel will work with your existing fibre optic cabling environment, both single mode and multimode optical cables. The FICON Express16S feature running at end-to-end 16 Gbs link speeds will provide reduced latency for large read/write operations and increased bandwidth compared to the FICON Express8S feature.

Increased performance for the zHPF protocol: In laboratory measurements using FICON Express16S in an IBM z13 with the zHPF protocol and small data transfer I/O operations, FICON Express16S operating at 16 Gbps achieved a maximum of 93,000 IOs/sec. In laboratory measurements, using FICON Express16S in an IBM z13 with the zHPF protocol and a mix of large sequential read and write data transfer I/O operations, FICON Express16S operating at 16 Gbps achieved a maximum throughput of 2600 MB/sec (reads + writes) compared to a maximum of 1600 MB/sec (reads + writes) achieved with FICON Express8S operating at 8 Gbps. This represents an approximately 63% increase. This performance data was measured in a controlled environment running an I/O driver program under z/OS. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed.

Increased performance for the FCP protocol: A FICON Express16S feature, when defined as CHPID type FCP, conforms to the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) standard to support attachment of SCSI devices, to complement the classical storage attachment supported by FICON and zHPF channels.

In laboratory measurements, using FICON Express16S in an IBM z13 with the FCP protocol for small data transfer I/O operations, FICON Express16S operating at 16 Gbps achieved a maximum of 110,000 IOs/sec, compared to the maximum of 92,000 IOs/sec achieved with FICON Express8S operating at 8 Gbps.

In laboratory measurements, using FICON Express16S in an IBM z13 with the FCP protocol and FICON Express16S operating at 16 Gbps, FICON Express16S achieved a maximum throughput of 2560 MB/sec (reads + writes) compared to the maximum of 1600 MB/sec (reads + writes) achieved with FICON Express8S operating at 8 Gbps. This represents approximately a 60% increase. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multi-programming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed.

With the introduction of the FICON Express16S in an IBM z13 operating using the FCP protocol, several recommended and allowable operating characteristic values have increased which will enable additional workload consolidation. Specifically, the recommended maximum number of NPIV hosts defined to any single physical FCP channel has increased from 32 to 64, the allowable maximum number of remote N_Ports a single physical channel can communicate with has increased from 512 to 1024, and the maximum number of LUNs addressable by a single physical channel has increased from 4096 to 8192. In support of these increases, the FCP channels have also been designed to now support 1528 concurrent I/O operations, an increase from the prior generation FCP channel limit of 764.

The FCP protocol is supported by z/VM, z/VSE®, and Linux on IBM z Systems. Refer to the Software requirements section.

16Gb FICON and FC host adapters on IBM DS8870: Improve SAN performance and resiliency with faster 16Gb Fibre Channel and FICON host adapters on DS8870. For DB2 Log Writes, this new host adapter will help to improve the efficiency of the 16 Gbps zHPF and heritage FICON to reduce large log write latency, resulting in DB2 transactional latency improvements for applications and middleware, including SAP. For managed file transfer with Connect Direct these new host adapters can help to reduce elapsed times. In addition, I/O bound batch jobs will improve lapsed times.

FCP SAN Explorer: A new function is available on the HM through the Problem Determination panels that provides a centralized view of Storage SAN facilities available to an FCP channel. The tool facilitates configuration setting and debug without requiring an operating system to be running. It does require the IBM z13 to have completed an Initial Machine Load (IML) and the partitions of interest to be activated. The tool can also operate concurrently with customer I/O workloads in a nondisruptive manner. It provides an operator with a layered view of the SAN environment. Specifically, device numbers (hosts) assigned to a partition, the fabric zone members available to the host, the remote end port error statistics, the accessible logical unit numbers (LUNs), and basic LUN configuration information can be queried and displayed using this tool. This data can also optionally be exported in CSV format.

Cleaning discipline for FICON Express16S fibre optic cabling

With the introduction of 16 Gbps link data rates, it is even more critical to ensure your fibre optic cabling infrastructure performs as expected. With proper fibre optic cleaning and maintenance, you can be assured that the "data gets through."

With 16 Gbps link data rates over multimode fibre optic cabling, link loss budgets and distances are reduced. Single mode fibre optic cabling is more "reflection sensitive." With high link data rates and single mode fibre optic cabling there is also less margin for error. The cabling is no longer scratch-tolerant and contaminants such as dust and oil can present a problem.

To keep the data flowing, proper handling of fibre trunks and jumper cables is critical as well as thorough cleaning of fibre optic connectors. Work with your data centre personnel or IBM personnel to ensure you have fibre optic cleaning procedures in place.

Enabling the Transition to FICON Express16S with Forward Error Correction (FEC)

FICON Express16S channels running at 16 Gbps can take advantage of Forward Error Correction (FEC) capabilities when connected to devices that support FEC. FEC allows FICON Express16S channels to operate at higher speeds, over longer distances, with reduced power and higher throughput, while retaining the same reliability and robustness that FICON channels have traditionally been known for. FEC is a technique used for controlling errors in data transmission over unreliable or noisy communication channels. When running at 16 Gbps link speeds, clients should see fewer I/O errors, thus easing the transition to the new, high-speed link technologies and reducing the potential impact to production workloads by I/O errors.

Forward Error Correction Codes support on 16Gbps adapters on IBM DS8870: For Peer to Peer Remote Copies, FEC helps to preserve data reliability. This enhancement is designed to provide the equivalent reliability improvement as doubling the optical signal strength.

FICON Dynamic Routing

With the IBM z13 server, FICON channels are no longer restricted to the use of static Storage Area Network (SAN) routing policies for Inter Switch Links (ISLs) for cascaded FICON directors. The z Systems feature that supports dynamic routing in the Storage Area Network (SAN) is called FICON Dynamic Routing (FIDR). It is designed to support the dynamic routing policies provided by the FICON Director manufacturers, for example, Brocade's Exchange Based Routing (EBR) and Cisco's Open Exchange ID Routing (OxID). Check with the switch provider for their support statement.

FICON Dynamic Routing can help clients reduce costs by having the ability to share SANs between their FICON and FCP traffic, improve performance due to SAN dynamic routing policies better exploiting all the available ISL bandwidth through higher utilization of the ISLs, and simplify management of their SAN fabrics due to static routing policies assigning different ISL routes with each power-on-reset which makes the SAN fabric performance difficult to predict.

Clients will need to ensure that all devices in their FICON SAN support FICON Dynamic Routing before they implement this feature.

FICON Dynamic Routing on IBM DS8870 enables clients to use SAN dynamic routing policies across cascaded FICON Directors to simplify configuration and capacity planning, and to provide persistent and repeatable performance and higher resiliency. In Peer to Peer Remote Copy configurations sharing of switches is simplified and hardware costs can be reduced by allowing FICON and FCP to share the same switch infrastructure. IBM's Metro Mirror technology uses FCP as the transport. So, now FICON and Metro Mirror can flow over the same Inter Switch Links (ISLs) and be managed with consistent fabric priority, described below.

Storage Area Network (SAN) Fabric I/O Priority

This new function on the IBM z13 provides the ability for z/OS to specify an I/O priority for the SAN fabric to utilize. This capability allows z/OS to extend the z/OS Work Load Manager (WLM) to manage the SAN fabric, completing the management of the entire end-to-end flow of an I/O operation. WLM will assign an I/O priority consistent with the client-specified goals for the workloads within the supported range of I/O priorities in the SAN fabric. SAN fabric I/O priority is especially useful in circumstances that can lead to SAN fabric contention such as workload spikes and hardware failures to provide additional resilience and allow z/OS WLM to deliver the highest I/O priority to the most important work first.

SAN Fabric Priority on IBM DS8870: IBM will be the first platform to exploit this industry feature with a fully integrated workload management solution provided by z/OS and supported by DS8870. Intelligent access to data and greater efficiencies are reached with SAN Fabric I/O Priority enabled by DS8870. The DS8870 will also propagate the fabric priority for write operations to the resulting Metro Mirror traffic to provide a consistent prioritization with FICON when sharing the same SAN infrastructure and Inter Switch Links (ISLs).

Improved High Performance FICON for z Systems (zHPF) I/O Execution at Distance

High Performance FICON for z Systems (zHPF) has been enhanced to allow all large write operations (> 64 KB) at distances up to 100 km to be executed in a single round trip to the control unit thereby not elongating the I/O service time for these write operations at extended distances.

zHPF Extended Distance II on IBM DS8870: zHPF Extended Distance II allows customers to achieve service level agreements after a disaster or when a storage control unit failure causes a HyperSwap® event. This capability is required especially for GDPS® HyperSwap configurations where the secondary DASD subsystem is in another site. For multi-site configurations, the zHPF Extended Distance II feature can help to reduce the impact of distance on I/O response times, increasing remote data transfer with better performance when writing data remotely (remote site recovery).

Improved Channel Subsystem (CSS) Scalability

The IBM z13 server has improved the channel subsystem (CSS) scalability with support for six logical channel subsystems (LCSSs) which are required to support the eighty five LPARs for IBM z13, four subchannel sets (to support more devices per logical channel subsystem), and 32K devices per FICON channel up from 24K channels in the previous generation.

Additionally, a fourth subchannel set for each logical channel subsystem (LCSS) is provided to facilitate elimination of single points of failure for storage after a disk failure by simplifying the exploitation of IBM's DS8870 Multi-target Metro Mirror storage replication with TPC-R HyperSwap.

z/OS Support for the IBM z13 (z13)

Continued tight integration between hardware and software technologies has become increasingly important to meeting the capacity and performance demands of mission-critical workloads. Accordingly, z/OS exploits many of the new functions and features of IBM z13 including:

• z/OS V2.2 (5650-ZOS) is planned to support the operation of zIIP processors in simultaneous multithreading (SMT) mode, with two threads per processor. This new function is designed to help improve throughput for zIIP workloads and provide appropriate performance measurement, capacity planning, and SMF accounting data. This support is also planned to be available for z/OS V2.1 with PTFs at IBM z13 general availability.
• z/OS V2.2 is planned to support up to 141 processors (CPs and zIIPs) per LPAR or up to 128 physical processors (256 logical processors) per LPAR in SMT mode. z/OS V2.2 is also planned to support up to 4 TB of real memory per LPAR. This support is also planned to be available on z/OS V2.1 with PTFs. For more information, see Software Announcement A15-0006, dated January 14, 2015, z/OS V2.2 - Fueling the new Digital Enterprise.
• z/OS V2.2 is planned to provide support for the new vector extension facility (SIMD) instructions available on IBM z13 servers. This new support, also planned to be available for z/OS V2.1 with PTFs in February 2015, is intended to help enable high-performance analytics processing, and is planned to be exploited by z/OS XML System Services; IBM 31-bit SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition, Version 8 (5655-DGG); IBM 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition, Version 8 (5655-DGH); Enterprise PL/I for z/OS V4.5 (5655-W67); and Enterprise COBOL for z/OS 5.2 (5655-W32) in February 2015. IBM intends to exploit the 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition, Version 8 in IBM WebSphere® Liberty Profile for z/OS, and in the full profile of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, which is also expected to benefit from SIMD exploitation. For more information, refer to Software Announcement A15-0008, dated January 14, 2015, IBM 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition, Version 8.

  Application serving with SSL could see up to 2x improvement in throughput per core with IBM 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition, Version 8 on IBM z13 with SMT vs. Java 7 on zEC12.

• z/OS V2.2 will be designed to provide prioritization data for the FICON fabric on IBM z13 processors, so the highest priority write operations can be done first when the fabric becomes congested. This support is also planned to be available for z/OS V1.13 (5694-A01) and z/OS V2.1 with PTFs in third quarter 2015, coincident with general availability of z/OS V2.2. This new function is intended to provide end-to-end prioritization according to WLM policy for write operations, in addition to the existing support for channel and control unit prioritization for both read and write operations.
• z/OS V2.2 is planned to support up to four subchannel sets on IBM z13 servers. This helps relieve subchannel constraints, and can allow you to define larger I/O configurations that support multi-target Metro Mirror (PPRC) along with large numbers of PPRC secondaries and Parallel Access Volume (PAV) aliases. As with the prior support for up to three subchannel sets, you can define base devices, aliases, and secondaries in the first subchannel set (set zero), and define only aliases and secondaries in subchannel sets one, two, and three. All four subchannel sets support FICON and zHPF protocols. This support is also planned for z/OS V1.13 and z/OS V2.1 with a PTF at IBM z13 general availability.
• z/OS V2.2 running on IBM z13 processors with IBM System Storage® DS8000® series devices and a minimum MCL is planned to support a new health check for FICON dynamic routing. This health check will be designed to check all components of a dynamic routing fabric, the channel subsystem, and disk control units to make sure that dynamic routing requirements are met if dynamic routing has been enabled for one or more FICON switches. This support, also planned for z/OS V1.13 and z/OS V2.1 with PTFs at functional availability, which remains in third quarter 2015, is intended to help you identify misconfiguration errors that can result in data integrity exposures.
• z/OS V2.2 Communications Server is planned to support the new virtualization capability planned for the 10GbE RoCE Express features on IBM z13 processors. This new support will be designed to allow you to fully utilize the ports in the RoCE feature and to share features across up to 31 z/OS images on an IBM z13 processor. Also, z/OS V2.2 Communications Server is planned to support selecting between TCP/IP and RoCE transport layer protocols automatically based on traffic characteristics, and to support MTU sizes up to 4K for RoCE features. The virtualization support is also available on z/OS V2.1 with a PTF.
• Full support for the new Crypto Express5S (CEX5S) features is planned for z/OS V2.2 and with the Enhanced Cryptographic Support for z/OS V1.13 - z/OS V2.1 web deliverable planned to be available at IBM z13 general availability.
• z/OS V2.2 XL C/C++ is planned to provide support for the new IBM z13 processor, with new ARCH(11) and TUNE(11) parameters designed to take advantage of the new instructions to deliver increased optimizations for your generated code. XL C/C++ will be designed to also support the Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions with the vector programming language extensions, and the IBM MASS (Mathematical Accelerator Subsystem) and ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) libraries. The MASS library may be used for accelerated execution of elementary math functions and serve as a higher performance alternative to the standard math library that is part of the z/OS XL C/C++ Runtime. The ATLAS library provides linear algebra function support for BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) and LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKage) functions routinely used in Business Analytics and Optimization solutions. Together these two libraries provide a powerful framework for development of new Business Analytics workloads, porting math-intensive workloads from other platforms, and accelerating Business Analytics workloads on IBM z13. This function is also planned to be available in February 2015 for z/OS V2.1 XL C/C++ with a web deliverable from the z/OS download site

  http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/tools/downloads/#webdees

IBM z13 systems are supported by z/OS V1.13 (5694-A01) and z/OS Version 2 (5650-ZOS).

z/VM Support for the IBM z13 (z13)

With the PTF for APAR VM65577, z/VM provides support that will enable guests to exploit zEC12 function supported by z/VM on the IBM z13 (z13). z/VM support for IBM z13 includes support for:

• New hardware facilities
  • z/VM supports the following new hardware facilities transparently.
    • Load/Store-on-condition Facility 2
    • Load-and-Zero-Rightmost-Byte Facility
    • Decimal-Floating-Point Packed Conversion Facility
    • Delay Facility

  New facility bits have been defined that will be passed to a guest and can be tested to determine if a hardware facility is available. A guest can use the STFLE instruction to obtain the facilities list.

  TRACE, DISPLAY I, and VMDUMPTL support for interpreting the new instructions associated with these facilities for display purposes is not provided.

• Updates to monitor records for CPU-Measurement Counter Facility: The new Counter Second Version Number value (4) is supported and appropriate counters are collected and stored in the CPU-Measurement Facility Counters monitor record (Domain 5 Record 13).
• CPU-Measurement Counter Facility collection enhancement: Host exploitation is provided for a new instruction to allow collection of multiple counters simultaneously, when the store-CPU-counter-multiple facility is installed. This is expected to reduce the overhead for collecting CPUMF data for z/VM monitor records.
• New I/O related architectures: Support is provided for new I/O related architectures and features of z13 including:

  PCI function measurement block enhancements for the RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) adapter

  Dynamic I/O support for new channel path type CS5 (Coupling over PCIe)

  Dynamic I/O support for specifying virtual channel IDs (VCHIDs) for HiperSockets™ (IQD) channels

• Crypto Express5S and enhanced domain support for Crypto Express5S

z/VM SMT support

With the PTF for APAR VM65586, z/VM provides host exploitation support for SMT on IBM z13, which will enable z/VM to dispatch work on up to two threads (logical CPUs) of an IFL processor core. z/VM simultaneous multithreading support is enabled only for IFL processors in a Linux only mode or z/VM mode logical partition.

z/VM exploitation of SMT enables z/VM on z13 to dispatch work on an individual thread of a core, allowing a core to be shared by two guest CPUs or z/VM Control Program tasks. This can result in increased throughput per core from more efficient use of shared core resources.

Simultaneous multithreading support is available on a z/VM system only if the facility is installed on the hardware and enabled on the z/VM system with the MULTITHREADING system configuration statement. The MULTITHREADING statement is optional, and multithreading is disabled if the statement is omitted.

z/VM host simultaneous multithreading exploitation support does not virtualize threads for guest exploitation. However, Linux guests may benefit from the host support because the first level z/VM system is able to achieve higher throughput from the multithreaded IFL cores.

z/VM CPU pools provide a mechanism for limiting the CPU resources consumed by a group of virtual machines to a specific capacity. In an environment without SMT, these capacities are enforced in terms of a number of cores. In an SMT environment, these capacities are enforced in terms of a number of threads. Consequently, it might be necessary to increase the capacities of CPU pools, in order to provide adequate resource to CPU pool members.

Increased z/VM CPU scalability

With the PTF for APAR VM65586, z/VM will support up to 64 logical processors on z13:

• 64 cores are supported with multithreading disabled.
• 32 cores (up to 2 threads per core) are supported with multithreading enabled.
• z/VM V6.3 continues to support up to 32 logical processors on prior machines.

z/VM Multi-VSwitch Link Aggregation Support

With the PTFs for APARs VM65583 and PI21053, z/VM V6.3 provides Multi-VSwitch Link Aggregation Support, allowing a port group of OSA-Express features to span multiple virtual switches within a single z/VM system or between multiple z/VM systems. Sharing a Link Aggregation Port Group (LAG) with multiple virtual switches increases optimization and utilization of the OSA-Express when handling larger traffic loads. Higher adapter utilization protects customer investments, which is increasingly important as 10 gigabit deployments become more prevalent. This enhancement makes it possible to do VSwitch Link Aggregation with OSAs shared with other z/VM logical partitions, lifting the previous restriction of requiring dedicated OSAs.

IBM Wave for z/VM (IBM Wave)

IBM Wave allows IT organizations and service providers to simplify and automate the management of virtualized environments beginning with z/VM. Featuring an intelligent content-rich interface to manage Linux virtual servers, IBM Wave's capabilities have been recently enhanced to further simplify operations, drive productivity, and leverage existing skills to help customers efficiently deploy and manage highly virtualized infrastructures.

IBM Wave can help IT organizations manage any combination of z/VM instances: stand-alone z/VM instances, SSI clusters, or z/VM instances sharing directories, all using a flexible and highly customizable Wave architecture. With recent enhancements, IBM Wave for z/VM now offers enhanced SCSI-only support for managing EDEVs, new support for cross-system virtual server cloning, and LDAP for authentication purposes.

IBM Wave is a comprehensive management tool designed for administrators, operators, system programmers and more. It is now included in several virtualization solutions on z Systems including Enterprise Linux Server, Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Cloud Systems, and IBM Infrastructure Suite.

Access to a Parallel Sysplex® Environment

Parallel Sysplex is a synergy between hardware and software - a highly advanced technology for clustering designed to enable the aggregate capacity of multiple z/OS systems to be applied against common workloads. z/OS combined with IBM z13, zEC12, zBC12, z196, and z114 servers, Coupling Facilities, Server Time Protocol (STP), and coupling links (ICA SR, InfiniBand) allows you to harness the power of multiple systems as though they were a single logical computing system.

Coupling links provide a path to transmit/receive Coupling Facility (CF) data as well as Server Time Protocol (STP) timekeeping messages. The CF data may be exchanged between z/OS and the CF or between CFs.

The IBM Integrated Coupling Adapter (ICA SR), introduced on the IBM z13 platform, is a two-port, short distance coupling fanout that utilizes a new coupling channel type: CS5. The ICA SR utilizes PCIe Gen3 technology, with x16 lanes that are bifurcated into x8 lanes for coupling. The ICA SR is designed to drive distances up to 150 m and support a link data rate of 8 GBps. It is also designed to support up to 4 CHPIDs per port and 7 subchannels (devices) per CHPID. The maximum number of ICA SR fanout features is limited to 16 per system.

The ICA SR fanout resides in the PCIe I/O fanout slot on the IBM z13 CPC drawer, which supports 10 PCIe I/O slots. Up to 10 ICA SR fanouts and up to 20 ICA SR ports are supported on an IBM z13 CPC drawer, enabling greater connectivity for short distance coupling on a single processor node compared to prior generations.

The ICA SR can only be used for coupling connectivity between IBM z13 servers, and the ICA SR can only connect to another ICA SR. IBM recommends that you order ICA SR (#0172) on the IBM z13 processors used in a Parallel Sysplex to help ensure coupling connectivity with future processor generations.

The ICA SR fanout requires new cabling. For distances up to 100 m, clients can choose the OM3 fibre type. For distances up to 150 m, clients must choose the OM4 fibre type. Refer to IBM z Systems Planning for Fiber Optic Links (FICON/FCP, Coupling Links, and Open System Adapters), GA23-1407, and to IBM z Systems Maintenance for Fiber Optic Links (FICON/FCP, Coupling Links, and Open System Adapters), SY27-7694, which can be found in the Library section of Resource Link® at

http://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/svc03100.nsf?OpenDatabase

Refer to the Software requirements section.

InfiniBand coupling links are high-speed links, up to 6 GBps for 12x InfiniBand and up to 5 Gbps for 1x InfiniBand:

• 12x InfiniBand can be used for short distances - up to 150 meters (492 feet). 12x IFB links support up to 7 subchannels (devices) per CHPID.
• 1x InfiniBand are used for longer distances - up to 10 km (6.2 miles) unrepeated. 1x IFB links support up to 32 subchannels (devices) per CHPID.

HCA3-O fanout for 12x InfiniBand: 12x InfiniBand coupling links utilize the Host Channel Adapter 3 optical (HCA3-O) fanout. The HCA3-O fanout has two ports/links and is compatible with the HCA2-O fanout on zEC12, zBC12, z196, or z114 machines. HCA2-O is not supported on IBM z13.

HCA3-O LR fanout for 1x InfiniBand: 1x InfiniBand coupling links utilize the Host Channel Adapter 3 optical long reach (HCA3-O LR) fanout. The HCA3-O LR fanout has four ports/links and is compatible with the HCA2-O LR fanout on zEC12, zBC12, z196, or z114 machines, which has two ports/links. HCA2-O LR is not supported on IBM z13.

Two protocols - 12x IFB and 12x IFB3 - for 12x InfiniBand coupling links

• 12x IFB3 protocol: When HCA3-Os are communicating with HCA3-Os and have been defined with four or fewer CHPIDs per port, the 12x IFB3 protocol is utilized. The 12x IFB3 protocol is designed to provide improved latency compared to the 12x IFB protocol.
• 12x IFB protocol: If more than four CHPIDs are defined per HCA3-O port or HCA3-O features are communicating with HCA2-O features on zEC12, zBC12, z196, or z114 servers, links will run with the 12x IFB protocol.

The maximum number of all HCA3 fanout features is limited to 16 per system. Internal coupling links (ICs) can also be used for internal communication between Coupling Facilities (CFs) and z/OS images on the same server.

ISC-3 links are not supported on IBM z13.

Note: The ICA SR and InfiniBand (PSIFB) link data rates do not represent the performance of the link. The actual performance is dependent upon many factors including latency through the adapters, cable lengths, and the type of workload. Systems Lab Services can assist your migration to ICA SR and PSIFB coupling links by providing services to assess the impact of the migration or to assist with the implementation of the migration.

STP - Time Synchronization for Parallel Sysplex

Server Time Protocol (STP) is designed to allow events occurring in different servers to be properly sequenced in time. STP is designed for servers that have been configured in a Parallel Sysplex or a basic Sysplex (without a Coupling Facility), as well as servers that are not in a Sysplex but need time synchronisation.

STP is a server-wide facility that is implemented in the Licensed Internal Code (LIC), presenting a single view of time to Processor Resource/Systems Manager™ (PR/SM™). STP uses a message-based protocol in which timekeeping information is passed over externally defined coupling links between servers. The STP design introduced a concept called Coordinated Timing Network (CTN), a collection of servers and Coupling Facilities that are time-synchronized to a time value called Coordinated Server Time.

A CTN can be configured in two ways:

• STP-only CTN which does not require a Sysplex Timer.
• Mixed CTN (External Time Reference (ETR) and STP) which requires a Sysplex Timer. The Sysplex Timer provides the timekeeping information in a Mixed CTN. zEC12, zBC12, z196, and z114 servers do not support attachment to a Sysplex Timer, but they can participate in a Mixed CTN that has a z10™ synchronized to the Sysplex Timer. This maintains the capability for servers to concurrently migrate from an existing ETR network to a Mixed CTN and from a Mixed CTN to an STP-only CTN.

The IBM z13 can only participate in an STP-only CTN.

STP Enhancements

• Enable STP communications via the IBM Integrated Coupling Adapter (ICA SR)
• Initialized Time Panel enhanced to list time zone and leap second offset as well as indicates if the system time was set; this enables users to quickly check fields during CTN configuration
• Set Date and Time Panel enhanced to encourage use of External Time Source to set CTN time
• Time Zone panel enhanced with confirmation messages when setting STP time zone via adjust Time Zone panel on Current Time Server (CTS); also lists scheduled switch times for leap seconds and time zone/daylight savings time on Timing Network Tab
• Added support for view-only STP panels

Parallel Sysplex Enhancements

Scalability Improvements: As data sharing workloads continue to grow, the Parallel Sysplex infrastructure needs to anticipate the increased requirements for coupling resources. To do this, we have increased configuration limits to support larger data sharing environments. In the Coupling Facility, we have added an availability enhancement that is a scalability enabler for large cache structures.

• IBM z13 will support up to 256 Coupling CHPIDs, twice the 128 coupling CHPIDs supported on zEC12. This provides enhanced connectivity and scalability for a growing number of coupling channel types and facilitates consolidation of multiple Sysplexes into the same set of physical servers. Note that each CF image will continue to support a maximum of 128 coupling CHPIDs.
• Up to 141 ICF engines can be ordered on a single server across multiple Coupling Facility LPARs. This helps environments that use a server hosting multiple Coupling Facilities to support multiple Parallel Sysplexes. There is still a limit of 16 ICF engines for a single Coupling Facility LPAR.
• CFCC Level 20 supports the Coupling Facility use of Large Memory to improve availability for larger CF cache structures and data sharing performance with larger DB2 Group Buffer Pools (GBP). This support removes inhibitors to using large CF cache structures, enabling use of Large Memory to appropriately scale to larger DB2 Local Buffer Pools (LBP) and Group Buffer Pools (GBP) in data sharing environments.

  To learn more about the performance benefits of large DB2 structures, reference IBM zEnterprise System: Performance Report on Exploiting Large Memory for DB2 Buffer Pools with SAP at

  http://www.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP102461

CICS Transaction Server for z/OS support for IBM z13 (z13)

All in-service releases of IBM CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) will support the z13 hardware. This gives CICS TS customers, at an appropriate level of z/OS, the potential to benefit from facilities of z13, including:

• Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) can be used on zIIP processors by CICS Java applications.
• Greater data compression and reduced data transfer time are provided by enhanced zEnterprise Data Compression (zEDC), which could be exploited by CICS SMF data when using SMF log streams.
• CICS TS transactions using SSL or TLS could take advantage of cryptographic acceleration with the Crypto Express5S cryptographic adapter.
• Planned availability of Large Memory on z/OS, up to 4 TB per z/OS image, could be useful to customers requiring more real memory to back large amounts of virtual storage, such as large, or large numbers of, CICS Shared Data Tables, CICS main temporary storage above-the-bar, and JVM server heap storage.

IBM z BladeCenter Extension (zBX) Model 004

The onsite upgrade to an IBM z BladeCenter Extension (zBX) Model 004 continues to support workload optimization and integration for zEnterprise. The zBX Model 004 is available as an upgrade from an existing zBX Model 002 or Model 003. The upgrade will decouple the zBX from its controlling CPC and with the addition of redundant Support Elements, it will become a stand-alone Node within an ensemble. An ensemble must contain a z114, z196, zBC12, zEC12, and/or z13. Once upgraded, any available slots in an existing chassis can be used with the proper entitlements. Environmental options and Optics will be available to support reconfiguration and relocation.

Hardware Management Console (HMC)

Alternative to USB Flash Memory Drive: With the Hardware Management Console 2.13.0, the USB Flash Memory Drive will continue to be supported. However, the Hardware Management Console 2.13.0 will also provide alternative options for each task that currently has an option to utilize a USB Flash Memory Drive, and this will allow customers to eliminate the requirement for USB Flash Memory Drive. These alternatives such as FTP Servers and Remote Browser from workstation will be documented in IBM Knowledge Center. If you prefer no USB Flash Memory Drive usage, select the Feature Code 0845 "Read-Only Media Option" if presented to you during certain eConfig options. Note that these USB Flash Memory Drive options are only available for managed IBM z13 systems. The legacy managed systems (zEC12 or earlier) still have a requirement for the USB Flash Memory Drive.

Discontinuance of System Activity Display Task: With the Hardware Management Console 2.13.0, the System Activity Display task is no longer supported for IBM z13 systems. The Monitors Dashboard task (available since z196) provides equivalent functionality. The System Activity display functionality is available for legacy systems (zEC12 or earlier) which are managed by the Hardware Management Console 2.13.0.

Hardware Management Console Data Replication Versioning: The Hardware Management Console 2.13.0 Data Replication task has added versioning support, and this requires all Hardware Management Consoles to update to the 2.13.0 level in order for Data Replication to replicate data between the Hardware Management Consoles. Any Hardware Management Console at 2.12.1 level or earlier will not be able to perform the data replication with a Hardware Management Console 2.13.0.

Hardware Management Console Time Source Change: The Hardware Management Console 2.13.0 will no longer define its time source using the Add Object Definition. The time source is now defined on the Customize Console Date/Time task. This will provide a clearer identification of all defined time sources including validation of Server Time Protocol (STP) Coordinated Timing Network IDs (CTN IDs).

Trusted Computing: The Hardware Management Console currently validates all licensed internal code delivery and updates onto itself with a digitally signed firmware process. Version 2.13.0 has been enhanced to remove a default option of including boot from media for the Hardware Management Console. This will address some security analysis programs which flag this as an issue.

User Management Dashboard: The Hardware Management Console 2.13.0 has re-engineered user related tasks by establishing a User Management Dashboard task which replaces the following tasks: User Profiles, Customer User Controls, Password Profiles, Manage Enterprise Directory Server Definitions, User Templates, and User ID Patterns. This User Management Dashboard task provides additional functionality such as more granular user management controls and inheritance controls for objects added to groups. It is recommended to look at the Hardware Management Console What's New section in the on-line help or IBM Knowledge Center to view detailed descriptions for this new task including getting started tutorials for different usage scenarios.

Refer to the Hardware requirements section for a list of HMC system support.

Statements of General Direction

IBM plans to accept for review certification requests from cryptography providers by the end of 2015, and intends to support the use of cryptography algorithms and equipment from providers meeting IBM's certification requirements in conjunction with z/OS and z Systems processors in specific countries. This is expected to make it easier for customers to meet the cryptography requirements of local governments.

KVM offering for IBM z Systems: In addition to the continued investment in z/VM, IBM intends to support a Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) offering for z Systems that will host Linux on z Systems guest virtual machines. The KVM offering will be software that can be installed on z Systems processors like an operating system and can co-exist with z/VM virtualization environments, z/OS, Linux on z Systems, z/VSE, and z/TPF. The KVM offering will be optimised for z Systems architecture and will provide standard Linux and KVM interfaces for operational control of the environment, as well as providing the required technical enablement for OpenStack for virtualization management, allowing enterprises to easily integrate Linux servers into their existing infrastructure and cloud offerings.

In the first half of 2015, IBM intends to deliver a GDPS/Peer to Peer Remote Copy (GDPS/PPRC) multiplatform resiliency capability for customers who do not run the z/OS operating system in their environment. This solution is intended to provide IBM z Systems customers who run z/VM and their associated guests, for instance, Linux on z Systems, with similar high availability and disaster recovery benefits to those who run on z/OS. This solution will be applicable for any IBM z Systems announced after and including the zBC12 and zEC12.

Enhanced RACF® password encryption algorithm for z/VM: In a future deliverable an enhanced RACF/VM password encryption algorithm is planned This support will be designed to provide improved cryptographic strength using AES-based encryption in RACF/VM password algorithm processing. This planned design is intended to provide better protection for encrypted RACF password data in the event that a copy of RACF database becomes inadvertently accessible.

IBM intends that a future release of IBM CICS Transaction Server for z/OS will support 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition, Version 8 (Java 8). This support will enable the use of new facilities delivered by IBM z13 which are exploited by Java 8, including Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions for vector operations and simultaneous multithreading (SMT).

z/VM support for Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD): In a future deliverable IBM intends to deliver support to enable z/VM guests to exploit the Vector Facility for z/Architecture (SIMD).

IBM intends to provide support for the Read Diagnostic Parameters Extended Link Service command for fibre channel SANs as defined in the T11.org FC-LS-3 draft standard. Support for the Read Diagnostic Parameters Extended Link Service command is intended to improve SAN reliability and fault isolation.

Removal of support for Expanded Storage (XSTORE): z/VM V6.3 is the last z/VM release that will support Expanded Storage (XSTORE) for either host or guest usage. The IBM z13 server family will be the last z Systems server to support Expanded Storage (XSTORE).

The IBM z13 will be the last z Systems server to support running an operating system in ESA/390 architecture mode; all future systems will only support operating systems running in z/Architecture mode. This applies to operating systems running native on PR/SM as well as operating systems running as second level guests. IBM operating systems that run in ESA/390 mode are either no longer in service or only currently available with extended service contracts, and they will not be usable on systems beyond IBM z13. However, all 24-bit and 31-bit problem-state application programs originally written to run on the ESA/390 architecture will be unaffected by this change.

Stabilization of z/VM V6.2 support: The IBM z13 server family is planned to be the last z Systems server supported by z/VM V6.2 and the last z systems server that will be supported where z/VM V6.2 is running as a guest (second level). This is in conjunction with the statement of direction that the IBM z13 server family will be the last to support ESA/390 architecture mode, which z/VM V6.2 requires. z/VM V6.2 will continue to be supported until December 31, 2016, as announced in Withdrawal Announcement A14-0052, dated February 04, 2014.

Product Delivery of z/VM on DVD/Electronic only: z/VM V6.3 will be the last release of z/VM that will be available on tape. Subsequent releases will be available on DVD or electronically.

Removal of support for Classic Style User Interface on the Hardware Management Console and Support Element: The IBM z13 will be the last z Systems server to support Classic Style User Interface. In the future, user interface enhancements will be focused on the Tree Style User Interface.

Removal of support for the Hardware Management Console Common Infrastructure Model (CIM) Management Interface: IBM z13 will be the last z Systems server to support the Hardware Console Common Infrastructure module (CIM) Management Interface. The Hardware Management Console Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and Web Services Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) will continue to be supported.

The IBM z13 will be the last z Systems server to support FICON Express8 channels: IBM z13 will be the last high-end server to support FICON Express8. Enterprises should begin migrating from FICON Express8 channel features (#3325, #3326) to FICON Express16S channel features (#0418, #0419). FICON Express8 will not be supported on future high-end z Systems servers as carry forward on an upgrade.

The IBM z13 server will be the last z Systems server to offer ordering of FICON Express8S channel features. Enterprises that have 2 Gb device connectivity requirements must carry forward these channels.

Removal of an option for the way shared logical processors are managed under PR/SM LPAR: The IBM z13 will be the last high-end server to support selection of the option to "Do not end the timeslice if a partition enters a wait state" when the option to set a processor run time value has been previously selected in the CPC RESET profile. The CPC RESET profile applies to all shared logical partitions on the machine, and is not selectable by logical partition.

The IBM z13 will be the last generation of z Systems hardware servers to support configuring OSN CHPID types. OSN CHPIDs are used to communicate between an operating system instance running in one logical partition and the IBM Communication Controller for Linux on z Systems (CCL) product in another logical partition on the same CPC.

Peripheral hardware and device attachments

IBM devices previously attached to IBM System z10®, z196, and zSeries servers are supported for attachment to IBM z13 channels, unless otherwise noted. The subject I/O devices must meet the FICON and Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) architectures to be supported. I/O devices that meet OEMI architecture requirements are supported only using an external converter. Prerequisite Engineering Change Levels may be required. For further detail, contact IBM service personnel.

While the z13 supports devices as described above, IBM does not commit to provide support or service for an IBM device that has reached its End of Service effective date as announced by IBM.

Note: IBM cannot confirm the accuracy of performance, compatibility, or any other claims related to non-IBM products. Questions regarding the capabilities of non-IBM products should be addressed to the suppliers of those products.

Information on switches and directors qualified for IBM z Systems FICON and FCP channels can be found in the Library section of Resource Link.

zBX provides increased service over normal blades with the following characteristics:

• IBM intends to deliver the enhanced IBM z Systems model of service and support for all blade products that are supported for use in the zBX. The enhanced service and support for blade products is intended to be available when the blades are installed in a zBX and activated via a unique IBM z Systems feature code (feature #0612 and #0613). This service model includes 24x7 on-site support, including FRU replacement by the client's local Service Support Representative (SSR), during the zBX's warranty period. As such, a customer who installs supported blades and acquires the requisite feature code on the zBX will receive the benefits of the zBX warranty service. This practice is valid unless the customer removes the blade and requests to have such service delivered according to the blade's entitlement.
• Warranty service upgrades and post-warranty IBM maintenance contracts should not be purchased by customers when ordering a blade for installation in a zBX since IBM z Systems is providing the higher level of service for blades while they are installed in a zBX.
• For all hardware that will be installed in IBM z Systems servers serviced by IBM during their warranty period or under a post-warranty IBM maintenance service contract, there must be an active software maintenance agreement (SWMA) in place in order to service the software under its control. For example, for each POWER7® blade in the zBX (feature #0612), there must be an active PowerVM® EE SWMA in place. Failure to maintain SWMA may result in IBM not being able to service that particular #0612.
• The blades will be customer supplied and customer installed in this zBX solution.

IBM Global Financing offerings are provided through IBM Credit LLC in the United States, and other IBM subsidiaries and divisions worldwide to qualified commercial and government customers.
