No.

What does it mean???

Management covers a multitude of sins. 

Yes, centralized management could be a value added, but it's  NOT
crucial for the application. 

Lots of things are not crucial for the application but still add
enough value to be worth the expense.

Couldn't ISAO live without such management?

Il va sans dire. But that's not the relevant question.

I strongly doubt.

No doubt, but that conveys no information.

Re: IBM Announcements Today

2011-04-13 Thread Marian Gasparovic

Radek,
with every integrated solution you can say you can buy individual
things and put them together. Of course. It is the controlling logic
that makes it integrated, in this case zManager.
Power blades in zBX - I don't think there are other than IBM Power
blades, IBM decided to support one kind of blade in three (IIRC)
possible configurations. And if you use a supported blade, it will
work because it was tested. When you plug the blade, its firmware will
be customized so that zManager can talk to it. You can buy the blade
from IBM or from BP.
x86 blades - I admit I have not studied the announcement yet, I assume
there will be again some set of blades which are supported, presumably
IBM blades. I don't know if you can mix IBM/HP/Dell/etc blades in one
bladecenter anywhere (please correct me if I am wrong). So when you
get bladecenter from one vendor you use its blades there.
ISAOPT - again, customized firmware, customized OS with application.
For ISAOPT purposes you really want to have a full control over
hardware, firmware, OS and application, it is a black box, you want
everything to work as expected, without deviations. (BTW, in these
days I am at customer implementing ISAOPT).

All hw (z196, blades, switches, bladecenters) firmware is updated from
one place, so when there are new MCLs you get them from IBM, from one
place. How many times you had problems that some
servers/switches/whatever were on old firmware and it was recognized
only when problem occurred ? Many distributed people ignore firmware
updates.

It's still managemnet for management. While centralized management is

It is not my intention to look for competitor vendors or manufacturers.
In this case single provider means single and consistent responsibility

[...]

I don't know if you can mix IBM/HP/Dell/etc blades in one
bladecenter anywhere (please correct me if I am wrong).

Marian, you should know it! ;-)
Obviously it is alway proprietary solution! HP blade does not fit the
Dell cabinet. Blades are incompatible in hardware meaning. (Of course
every Intel/AMD based blade is regular PC from OS point of view.)

All hw (z196, blades, switches, bladecenters) firmware is updated from
one place, so when there are new MCLs you get them from IBM, from one
place. How many times you had problems that some
servers/switches/whatever were on old firmware and it was recognized
only when problem occurred ? Many distributed people ignore firmware
updates.

And again: management. BTW: you mentioned switches. I think you mean
Ethernet switches, however that remains me another kind of switches used
in mainframe environment: FICON switches. IBM sells (but not produce)
such switches, they are supported for mainframe FICON applications.
Obviously such switches are very important piece of mainframe hardware.
Why IBM does not provide centralized management on HMC or MCL updates?
Why can't I have such switches integrated with the system z?
(Hint: System Automation is not applicable here. It is separately paid,
it is nt HMC based, it does not provide many features like MCL updates).

I see serious inconsistency here: zBX, ethernet switches are centrally
managed, but not FICON switches. The only answer that comes to mind is:
it is political issue, not technical.

Well.
10 years ago it was also possible to install run windows on xServer,
even in blade, even standing close to mainframe cabinet. Even connected
to the mainframe using dedicated link.

What's the value added?

ISAO (IBM Smart Analytic Optimizer) is probably first application

I'm well aware of the distinction.
The zEnterprise System may be composed of both. When they are managed
as one, they will come to be seen as one.
At least that seems to be IBMs fervent wish.

Subject: IBM Announcements URL

Hi,
I am trying to access the IBM announcements web page at:

http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/index.wss

using Firefox 3.6.10 or Safari 5.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.4 and am
getting a blank browser window. This problem just started last week.

This URL works on my Windows XP version of Firefox 3.6.10 and my IE 8 
browser running in my Parallels Windows session.

Does anyone else have a different URL I could try with my Mac browsers?

BTW, I tried to give feedback via the Offering Information Feedback but 
that web page is so broken it won't let me enter 200 characters into the

Message box even though the note indicate 500 characters is the limit
for 
the box. This is using IE 8.
Thanks

The link work fine for me using Safari 5.0.2 on a Mac.

I also use this for z/OS - http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/news.html
