Step 1 - Assess Application Requirements
  • Selection of system components must be made in the context of total application requirements. Although the configuration of system components must be done in steps (for example, base system, CPUs, memories, etc.), these steps should not be done in isolation.
  • The order in which requirements are assessed is also important, since one requirement may impact others. Before proceeding, it would be useful to assess the total application requirements in the following order:
  • What level of availability is required?
  • If no single points of failure are allowed, then the solution should be configured as a multi-system cluster.
  • If access to specific devices must be assured, consider redundant adapters, RAID, redundant I/O Expansion Drawers, etc.
  • What overall capacities are required in terms of performance, memory capacity, and disk storage?
  • How should the system be configured to optimize performance?
  • In most cases, optimum performance is achieved if the system resources (CPUs, memory and I/O adapters) are balanced across the System Building Blocks in the system.
  • Memory should be configured according to application guidelines listed in Step 4.
  • What are the near-term system expansion needs?
NOTE: Most configuration steps require that the above data be considered in whole or in part. Be sure to execute each step in the context of the total application requirements.
NOTE: Support for hard partioning and soft partioning (Galaxy) planned for a future date.
 
System Ordering Requirements:
Certain system components or services are either required for normal operation or are recommended for best system performance and/or operation. This document uses the following definitions to specify these options:
  • Mandatory purchase: The system cannot function without this option or service - the option or service must be ordered with the system.
  • Required to function: This option or service is needed to support a working system - the option or service must be ordered with the system or be available onsite.
  • Recommended: System performance or function will be enhanced if this option or service is ordered.
  
Step 1b - System Requirements
AlphaServer ES80 systems require selection of the following items:
Mandatory Purchases:
  • One Base System (see Step 2)
  • One CPU Building Block Module (see Step 3)

Step 4- Memory - Mandatory
Memory Configuration Guidelines
Memory options should be selected in the context of the application’s sensitivity to memory bandwidth and future memory capacity expansion. This will determine the number of memory options to order. The total capacity required will determine the size of the options to be ordered.
  • Mandatory selection of memory option required
    • ES80 Model 2 systems require a minimum of one memory option
    • ES80 Model 2 systems ordered with one I/O Expansion Drawer require a minimum of two memory options
    • ES80 Model 4 systems require a minimum of two memory options
    • ES80 Model 4 systems ordered with one I/O Expansion Drawer require a minimum of three memory options
    • ES80 Model 4 systems ordered with two I/O Expansion Drawers require a minimum of four memory options
    • ES80 Model 6 systems require a minimum of three memory options
    • ES80 Model 6 systems ordered with one I/O Expansion Drawer require a minimum of four memory options
    • ES80 Model 6 systems ordered with two I/O Expansion Drawers require a minimum of five memory options
    • ES80 Model 8 systems require a minimum of four memory options
    • ES80 Model 8 systems ordered with one I/O Expansion Drawer require a minimum of five memory options
    • ES80 Model 8 systems ordered with two I/O Expansion Drawers require a minimum of six memory options
  • Each ES80 Model 2 system supports up to four memory options (four RIMMs each) and up to four memory RAID options
    (one RIMM each) for a total of 20 RIMMs.
  • ES80 Model 4 system supports up to eight memory options and up to eight memory RAID options for a total of 40 RIMMs.
  • ES80 Model 6 system supports up to 12 memory options and up to 12 memory RAID options for a total of 60 RIMMs.
  • ES80 Model 8 system supports up to 16 memory options and up to 16 memory RAID options for a total of 80 RIMMs.
  • If an I/O Expansion Drawer is ordered (see Step 6), both CPUs in the CPU Building Block Module connected to the I/O Drawer must contain memory in at least one memory controller.
  • Each CPU has two memory controllers – Each memory controller can support four RIMMs (one memory option) and a fifth
    RIMM slot for redundancy (RAID option).
  • If populated, the two memory controllers per CPU must contain the same size RIMMs.
  • Order one RAID option (one RIMM) per memory option if desired.
    • If RAID memory option is selected, the number of RAID options selected must equal the number of memory options selected.

The following examples illustrate different ways of configuring an ES80 Model 4 system with a total of 4 GB (1 GB per CPU)

       CPU Building Block Module 1 CPU Building Block Module 2
Memory Option CPU 1 CPU 2 CPU 3 CPU 4

Memory Application Examples
Configuring memory is a compromise between cost, total memory capacity, and memory bandwidth requirements. The behavior of the application must be used to define the most-desired configuration. Some applications are sensitive to memory capacity while some are sensitive to memory bandwidth. If actual application measurements are not available, the following may be used as guidelines:
  • Large memory (VLM) applications, in which large amounts of memory can substantially reduce I/O, may be optimized for total memory capacity and future capacity growth. In VLM applications, the right balance might be one memory option per CPU. (Case B)
  • Typical commercial applications, such as transaction processing (OLTP) and multi-user timesharing, usually operate efficiently from cache and may not be materially affected by memory bandwidth. Memory configuration is a balance between memory bandwidth and future capacity growth. It is advisable to match the number of memory options to the number of CPUs. (Case B)
  • Data mining can benefit from additional memory bandwidth. In these cases, configure four memory options, two per CPU. (Case A)

The most demanding high-performance technical applications (HPTC) achieve a performance level that is directly proportional to memory bandwidth. In these cases, configure four memory options, two per CPU. (Case A)
