This document contains information about the POWER systems, IBM storage, adapters, and AIXlevels currently supported by versions of PowerHA 5.5 through PowerHA 7.1. This is a compilation ofthe official support flashes. It was created by and maintained by Shawn Bodily. Please feel free toemail questions/suggestions/errors to [email protected]

Historically, newer versions of PowerHA have inherited device support from previous versions, unless

specific support was removed by the product. Over time this has not been common to removesupport for very old hardware. Technically, if it was supported in the past, and the hardware can run aversion of AIX that is supported by the current version of PowerHA, then it is supported.

Since PowerHA 7.1 is not supported on any AIX level before 6.1.6, if the hardware is not supportedon 6.1.6, then by definition PowerHA 7.1 would not support it either. Also, if the hardware has notmade any statement of support for AIX 7.1, though the table may show PowerHA supports it, it is notvalid until such support is stated. It is my intention to make it as complete as possible at the time ofwriting; however it only focuses on hardware support from the last five year or so. This consistsmainly of POWER5 and above.

All POWER5 and above systems are supported on AIX 7.1 and HACMP 5.4.1 and above. Thespecific HACMP/PowerHA requirements forAIX 7.1support and are listed below:

PowerHA 5.5 SP7

PowerHA 6.1 SP3

PowerHA 7.1

Full software support details are always in the official support flash. The support flashes are usuallyavailable for five years and are embedded in the documented at the end.

IBM Storage

It is common to use multipathing drivers with storage. If utilizing MPIO, SDD, and/or SDDPCM on anyPowerHA controlled storage, it is a requirement to use enhanced concurrent volume groups (ECVGs)This requirement also applies to vSCSIand NPIVdevices.

DS5100 and DS5300 Notes:

These storage units support MPIO only.

Testing was performed with DS5100/5300 Microcode levels 7.30.21 and 7.36.08

This support includes using SDDPCM, with the caveat that SDDPCM support requires the use ofenhanced concurrent volume groups.

DS4700 and DS4800 Notes:


12/79

This support announcement is for the addition of MPIO support. These units have been supportedsince 2005 using RDAC.

Testing was performed with DS4700/4800 Microcode levels 7.10.23 and 7.15.07

This support includes using SDDPCM, with the caveat that SDDPCM support requires the use of

enhanced concurrent volume groups.

Using MPIO with PowerHA always requires the use of enhanced concurrent vgs. Also, in general,support for DS units require switch attachment. Otherwise if direct attaching, ONLY cluster nodesmust be connected to them, AND the use of ECVGs is required.

Please refer to the following information for support details:

1. This support announcement is for PowerHA SystemMirror version v6.1 and v7 products.Recommended levels are: PowerHA v6.1 SP12 and PowerHA v7.1.3 SP1.

2. Note that these PowerHA SystemMirror products can be used with AIX v6 or v7 OperatingSystems on Power 8 System.

3. For requirements regarding the level of AIX needed for Power 8 support, refer to AIX relatedsupport publications

4. This support is based on the requirement that deployment meets the generic clustering

requirements.

Examples of which are:

Ensure that redundant network communication links between the cluster nodes is availableand operating correctly

If multicast based v7 cluster is deployed, mping based multicast packet communication checkshould pass for more than 5 minutes (some routers block multicast traffic after 3 minutes or so)

Shared storage is configured as necessary based on the needs and is operating correctly.Note that repository disk in v7 product is minimally required and be shared across all the

nodes in the cluster

Clients are advised to obtain the latest service updates for this support.

Notes:

(*) AIX 6.1 TL06 SP3 preferred with RSCT 3.1.0.4 (packaged in CSM PTF 1.7.1.10 installed with AIX 6.1.6.3) isthe preferred baseline for zBX Virtual Servers.

When using PowerHA 7.1 on AIX 7.1, PowerHA must be at minimum level 7.1.1 and AIX bos.cluster.rte filesetmust be at minimum level 7.1.1.15.

For blades in zBX model 2458-002, a minimum level MCL011 in the N48129 EC Stream is required. This providesVIOS 2.2.0.12-FP24 SP-02.

For blades in zBX model 2458-003 the GA level of the H09137 EC Stream is sufficient. It provides VIOS 2.2.1.3.

When setting up disk volumes used for Power HA, care must be taken to define zBX Virtual Server bootable diskssuch that they are discovered prior to the shared disks used for Power HA resource groups. In most cases this isachieved by defining the bootable disks with LUN IDs lower than the LUN IDs of the shared disks.

POWER HA DLPAR control is not supported.

PowerHA is not supported managing IPAT on IPv6 network interfaces/addresses used for zManager PPM control(i.e. "red" network). This network must be unused and left for zManager sole use. Please refer to the zManagerPPM Administration Guide.

PowerHA is intended for failover within an ensemble and not for business continuity across ensembles.

Versioned WPARs can be installed only on an AIX 7.1 operating system.

The latest available, and supported version of AIX 5.2 is technology level (TL) 10, and service pack (SP) 8.Therefore, any backup image that is used to create an AIX 5.2 WPAR must be from an AIX 5.2 system running

the latest version.

Restrictions:

PowerHA 7.1 support for Versioned WPAR is restricted to 32 Service IP addresses (per WPAR-enabledResource Group).

Mixed mode operation, where in some of the nodes of the WPAR-enabled resource group has Versioned WPARsoftware installed whereas some other nodes do not, shall not be supported by PowerHA.

Cloning (via the PowerHA corrective action) of WPAR profile, shall not be supported for Versioned WPARs (inPowerHA).

Notes:

APAR IZ91004 is included in RSCT V3.1.0.0 SP4

WPAR property changes do not take effect until the next time the resource group is brought on line

Notes:

PowerHA XD GLVM is supported with VIO

PowerHA 7.1 supports cluster communication between hosts using SAN connections that exist between them.More information about the SAN communication can be found in the PowerHA 7.1 documentation. With therelease of VIOS 2.2.0.11-FP24SP01 SAN communication can be established for PowerHA LPARs/nodes evenwhen the storage adapters are virtualized through VIOS. SAN communication is enabled by establishing a VLANbetween the VIOS client and the VIOS (setup instructions are available in AIX documentation). SANcommunication through VIOS can be setup for both NPIV and vSCSI environments.

PowerHA 7.1 is fully supported with all supported previous levels of IBM VIO Server. However, these levels donot provide support for SANCOM, which requires features only available in VIO Server 2.2.

Requirements:

PowerHA and Virtual SCSI/NPIVThe volume group must be defined as Enhanced Concurrent Mode. In general, Enhanced Concurrent Mode is therecommended mode for sharing volume groups in PowerHA clusters because volumes are accessible by multiplePowerHA nodes, resulting in faster fallover in the event of a node failure. If file systems are used on the standby nodes,they are not mounted until the point of fallover so accidental use of data on standby nodes is impossible. If sharedvolumes are accessed directly (without file systems) in Enhanced Concurrent Mode, these volumes are accessible frommultiple nodes so access must be controlled at a higher layer such as databases.

If any cluster node provides access to shared volumes through VIOS provided by IBM VIO Server V2.1, or by IBM VIO


56/79

Server V2.2 without NPIV, all nodes must do so. This means that disks cannot be shared between an LPAR using by IBMVIO Server V2.1, or by IBM VIO Server V2.2 without NPIV and a node directly accessing those disks. Disks can beshared between an LPAR using VIOS provided by IBM VIO Server V2.1 or 2.2 with NPIV and a node directly accessingthose disks.

From the point of view of the VIO Server, physical disks (hdisks) are shared, not logical volumes or volume groups. Allvolume group construction and maintenance on these shared disks is done from the PowerHA nodes, not from the VIOServer.

PowerHA and Virtual EthernetIP Address Takeover (IPAT) via Aliasing must be used. IPAT via Replacement and MAC Address Takeover are notsupported. In general, IPAT via Aliasing is recommended for all PowerHA networks that can support it.

PowerHAs PCI Hot Plug facility cannot be used. PCI Hot Plug operations are available through the VIO Server. Notethat when a PowerHA node is using Virtual I/O, PowerHAs PCI Hot Plug facility is not meaningful because the I/Oadapters are virtual rather than physical.

All Virtual Ethernet interfaces defined to PowerHA should be treated as single-adapter networks as described in thePowerHA Planning and Installation Guide. In particular, the netmon.cf facility must be used to monitor and detect failuresof the network interfaces. The netmon.cf file should contain a list of IP addresses chosen so that the physical interfacesmust be up in order to ping. These addresses must be preceded by "!REQ". See the text of APAR IZ01331 for further

details, available from techlink.austin.ibm.com. Due to the nature of Virtual Ethernet, other mechanisms to detect thefailure of network interfaces are not effective.

Further configuration-dependent attributes of PowerHA with Virtual EthernetIf the VIO Server has multiple physical interfaces on the same network or if there are two or more PowerHA nodes usingone or more VIO Servers in the same frame, PowerHA will not be informed of (and hence will not react to) individualphysical interface failures. This does not normally limit the availability of the entire cluster because VIOS itself routestraffic around individual failures. The VIOS support is analogous to EtherChannel in this regard. Even in the extreme casewhere all physical interfaces managed by VIO Servers have failed, the VIOS will continue to route traffic from one LPARto another in the same frame, and the virtual Ethernet interface used by PowerHA will not be reported as having failed andPowerHA will not react. Other methods (based on the VIO Server and not PowerHA) must be used for providingnotification of individual adapter failures.

If the VIO Server has only a single physical interface on a network then a failure of that physical interface will be detectedby PowerHA. However, that failure will isolate the node from the network.

Although some of these may be viewed as configuration restrictions, many are direct consequences of I/O virtualization.

All support and restrictions associated with Virtual Ethernet provided by IBM VIO Server V2.2 apply to the correspondinglevel of IVE.
