| Description |
|
IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node
The IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node is the latest high-density Information Technology Element (ITE) server with POWER7+ and EnergyScale™ technology.
The IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node is a standard-width node with two 4-core, 64-bit, 4.0 GHz POWER7+ processors, or two 8-core, 64-bit, 3.6 GHz or 4.1 GHz POWER7+ processors and 16 DIMM slots, which can contain up to a maximum of 512 GB of memory. Two optional SAS SFF 2.5-inch HDDs or 1.8-inch SATA solid-state drives (SSDs) can be installed in the p260 Compute Node.
Integrated features on the p260 Compute Node include:
- USB 2.0 controller with one front panel port
- SAS controller
- Service processor
- Two PCIe expansion card slots
The IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node can be installed only in the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis (7893-92X). The chassis has 14 ITE bays for ITE servers and supports up to 14 standard-width nodes or 7 double-width nodes.
In short-term extended thermal conditions, the p260 Compute Node automatically reduces the frequency of the processor to maintain acceptable thermal or power levels. The processor frequency will automatically cycle back up as thermal or power conditions improve.
Clients should be aware that there may be applications that are sensitive to processor frequency changes. For instance, frequency reductions could potentially impact benchmarking or applications and tools that depend on execution times for accounting, CPU utilization, or profiling. It is recommended that clients check with their individual application vendors to see if there are possible impacts.
IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node features and benefits include:
- Highly efficient and flexible design of the IBM ITE
- Densely pack more servers into a smaller space.
- Tailor the system to meet varied business requirements.
- Integrate networking switch infrastructure for improved cabling and data center maintenance.

PowerVM Editions (Advanced Power Virtualization) (Optional)
The IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node supports PowerVM technology. The p260 is designed to make it more affordable to consolidate multiple independent applications on a single ITE server using the same proven virtualization technologies offered on IBM Power® servers.
The p260 supports two leading-edge virtualization technologies: PowerVM Standard Edition (#5227) and PowerVM Enterprise Edition (#5228).
- PowerVM Standard Edition makes the p260 an ideal platform for consolidation of AIX , Linux , and IBM i operating system applications, designed to help clients reduce infrastructure complexity and cost. Offering an intuitive, web-based interface for managing virtualization within a single compute node, the IVM component of VIOS allows the small business IT manager to quickly and easily set up and manage logical partitions (LPARs). It also enables Virtual I/O and Virtual Ethernet so that storage and communications adapters can be shared among all the LPARs running on the p260. Ultimately, IBM Micro-Partitioning® technology allows each processor core to be subdivided into as many as 10 virtual servers. And because the p260 is built with POWER7+ technology, other advanced virtualization functions such as Shared Dedicated Capacity may be exploited.
- PowerVM Enterprise Edition includes all the features of PowerVM Standard Edition plus a capability called Live Partition Mobility. Live Partition Mobility allows for the movement of a running AIX or Linux partition from one POWER6® , POWER7 or POWER7+ processor-based server to another. Designed to have no application downtime, Live Partition Mobility could result in better system utilization, improved application availability, and potential energy savings. With Live Partition Mobility, planned application downtime due to regular server maintenance can be a thing of the past. Software Maintenance for Virtual I/O Server (577x-PVE) must be purchased with VIOS (5765-PVE). PowerVM Enterprise Edition must be purchased separately.
Capacity Backup (CBU) Support for IBM i on the IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node
The CBU designation can help meet your requirements for use of a second system as backup, high availability, and disaster recovery. It enables you to temporarily transfer IBM i processor entitlements and IBM i user entitlements purchased for a primary machine to a secondary CBU system. Temporarily transferring these resources, instead of purchasing them for a secondary system, may result in significant savings.
The CBU specify feature number 4898 for the IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node (7895-23X) is available as part of a new compute node purchase. This CBU feature cannot be added to an existing compute node.
Certain system prerequisites must be met, and system registration and approval is required before the CBU specify feature can be applied on a new server.
Standard IBM i terms and conditions do not allow either IBM i processor entitlements or IBM i user entitlements to be transferred permanently or temporarily. These entitlements remain with the machine for which they were ordered. When you register the association between a primary and on-order CBU system, you must agree to certain terms and conditions regarding the temporary transfer. After a CBU system designation is approved and the system is installed, you can temporarily move your optional IBM i processor entitlement and user entitlements from the primary system to the CBU system for any purpose, provided the corresponding primary system processors are not being used concurrently for production purposes. The CBU system can therefore better support failover and role swapping for a full range of test, disaster recovery, and high availability scenarios. Temporary entitlement transfer means that the entitlement is a property transferred from the primary system to the CBU system, and may remain in use on the CBU as long as the registered primary and CBU systems are in deployment for the high availability or disaster recovery operation.
Primary System Capacity Backup System (Processor Group) (Processor Group) JS23/JS43 (P10) PS701/PS702 (P10), PS700 (P05) JS23/JS43 (P10) PS701/PS702 (P10), PS700 (P05) JS22 (P10) PS701/PS702 (P10), PS700 (P05) JS23/JS43 (P10) PS700 (P05) PS701/PS702 (P10) PS701/PS702 (P10), PS700 (P05) PS701/PS702 (P10) PS700 (P05) PS701/PS702 (P10) PS700 (P05) PS700 (P05) PS700 (P05) PS703 (P10) PS703 (P10) PS704 (P10) PS703 (P10), PS704 (P10) PS704 (P10) PS700 (P05) PS704 (P10) PS700 (P05) P260 (P10) P703 (P10), P704(P10), P260(P10), P460 (P10) P460 (P10) P703 (P10), P704(P10), P260(P10), P460 (P10)
These systems have IBM i software licenses with an IBM i P05 or P10 processor group. The primary machine must be in the same enterprise and country as the CBU system.
Before you can temporarily transfer IBM i processor entitlements from the registered primary system, you must have more than one IBM i processor entitlement on the primary machine and at least one IBM i processor entitlement on the CBU server. You can then transfer any IBM i processor entitlements above the minimum one, assuming the total IBM i workload on the primary system does not require the IBM i entitlement that you want to transfer during the time of the transfer. During this temporary transfer, the CBU system's internal records of its total number of IBM i processor entitlements are not updated, and you may see IBM i license noncompliance warning messages from the CBU system. These warning messages in this situation do not mean you are not in compliance.
The p260 high availability options include PowerHA® with Geographic Mirroring. You may also use Metro Mirror or Global Mirror replication solutions provided by the storage subsystem, and other third-party software replication packages.
Before you can temporarily transfer IBM i user entitlements, you must have more than five IBM i user entitlements on the p260 primary server and at least five IBM user entitlements on the CBU server. You can transfer optional entitlements (any IBM i user entitlements above the minimum five) from the primary to the CBU. The user entitlements transferred to the CBU may not be used concurrently on the primary server from which they were transferred. If the primary server is of a P10 processor group, then the primary server must have a minimum of 10 user entitlements and the optional user entitlements (those over the 10 required) may be transferred temporarily to the CBU. As a general principle of the CBU on i offering, temporary entitlement transfer cannot originate on the CBU.
For example, if you have a p260 as your primary system with two IBM i processor entitlements (one above the minimum) and 50 IBM i user entitlements (40 above the minimum), you can temporarily transfer up to one IBM i processor entitlement and up to 40 user entitlements. During this temporary transfer, the CBU system's internal records of its total number of IBM i processor and user entitlements are not updated, and you may see IBM i license noncompliance warning messages from the CBU system.
If your primary or CBU machine is sold or discontinued from use, any temporary entitlement transfers must be returned to the machine on which they were originally acquired.

Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)
The reliability of the IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node (7895-23X) starts with components, devices, and subsystems that are designed to be fault-tolerant. POWER7+ uses lower voltage technology in the processor SCMs that improves reliability and stacked latches to reduce soft error (SER) susceptibility. During the design and development process, subsystems go through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During system manufacturing, systems go through a thorough testing process to help ensure high product quality levels.
The processor and memory subsystem contains a number of features designed to avoid or correct environmentally induced, single-bit, intermittent failures as well as handle solid faults in components, including selective redundancy to tolerate certain faults without requiring an outage or parts replacement.

Processor is the unit of measure by which this program is licensed. A processor (commonly called a processor core or CPU ) is a functional unit within a computing device that interprets and executes instructions. A processor consists of at least an instruction control unit and one or more arithmetic or logic units. With multicore technology, each core is considered a processor. For programs eligible for sub-capacity licensing, a Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be acquired for all activated processors available for use in each partition (utilizing eligible partitioning technologies) where the program runs. A PoE must be acquired for all activated processor cores available for use on the server.
Limitations
Solid state memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of write cycles that each cell can incur. As a result, each solid-state device has a maximum amount of write cycles it can be subjected to, documented as TBW (Total Bytes Written). IBM is not responsible for replacement of hardware that has reached the maximum guaranteed number of write cycles. This limit may be revealed as the device failing to communicate to system generated commands or become incapable of being written to.
Planning information
Cable orders
No cables are required.
Security, auditability, and control
Security and auditability features include:
- A power-on password function provides control of who has access to the data and server setup program on the server.
- A selectable boot sequence can be used to prevent unauthorized installation of software or removal of data from the diskette drive.
Limitations: The IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis and the IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node have no security-intrusion detection.
The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.
