Configuration |
The HP Integrity rx8640 Server is a symmetrical multiprocessing
(SMP) server supporting up to sixteen high performance Intel dual core
Itanium processors (90X0 series or 91X0N series). The server supports
HP's advanced sx2000 chip set. The rx8640 can be configured as a single
SMP server or divided into up to four smaller, hardware partitioned (nPars),
logical servers.
|
| | |
|
Cell Boards |
A minimum of one and a maximum of four cells can be ordered in HP Integrity rx8640 Servers. Each cell can be purchased with up to four active Intel dual core Itanium processors (90X0 series or 91X0N series) or in combination with Instant Capacity processors. The rx8640 can support a mix of 90X0 and 91X0N series processors; however, within a single cell, all processors must be identical. The HP Integrity rx8640 and HP Integrity rx7640 (8 processor) servers share the same cell board. The rp8400/rp8420/rx8620 cell boards cannot be carried forward to the rx8640 server. |

Performance Tuning Guidelines |

Memory Latencies |
There are two types of memory latencies within the HP Integrity rx8640 Server:
The HP Integrity rx8640 Server memory latency depends on the number of
processors in the partition. Assuming that memory accesses are equally
distributed across all cell boards and memory controllers within the partition,
the average idle memory latency (load to use) is as shown below: |
| Number of processors | Average Memory Latency |
| 4-processor | 185 ns |
| 8-processor | 249 ns |
| 16-processor | 334 ns |
|
|
|
I/O Architecture |
Components within the I/O subsystem are the I/O controllers, internal peripheral bay, and multifunction Core I/O. The figure below shows the basic block diagram of the I/O subsystem. The Integrity I/O architecture utilizes industry standard PCI buses in a unique design for maximum performance, scalability, and reliability. To achieve maximum performance and availability, each PCI/PCI-X slot on the I/O board is controlled by its own Bus Converter ASIC and is also independently supported by its own half of the dual hot swap controllers. All PCI slots are designed to be compliant with PCI Rev.2.2, PCI-X Rev.2.0a, and PCI-express Gen1 specifications. The PCI-X 2.0 I/O Backplane implemented an important change to power distribution to the I/O partitions. The PCI-X Power supply bricks have been redesigned to allow the pair of them to be N+1 redundant in operation. Both I/O partitions will sustain their operational state even if one of the PCI bricks has failed. All the PCI voltages will remain within the PCI specification. These power bricks are not part of the PCI-X I/O board assembly. They plug into the edge of the PCI-X I/O Backplane to provide power to the board and they are not backwards compatible with the previous PCI power bricks. Any PCI brick failures will be reported to the system so the failing brick could be hot swapped. The HP Integrity rx8640 Server supports both PCI-X 2.0 and PCI-Express. Two different backplanes are available. The PCI-X 2.0 backplane (AB160A) supports sixteen (16) PCI-X slots. A combination PCI-Express/PXI-X 2.0 backplane (AD161A) supports eight (8) PCI-X slots and eight (8) PCI-Express slots. Each backplane contains two master I/O controller chips located on the backplane. Each I/O controller contains sixteen high performance 12 bit wide links, which connect to sixteen slave I/O controller chips supporting the PCI X or PCI-Express card slots and core I/O. Two links, one from each master controller is routed through the crossbar backplane and is dedicated to core I/O. The remaining thirty links are divided among the sixteen I/O card slots. This one card per link architecture leads to greater I/O performance and higher availability. Each controller chip is also directly linked to a host cell board. This means that at least two cell boards, located in cell slots 0 and 1, must be purchased in order to access all sixteen I/O card slots. With one cell board, access to eight slots is enabled. The HP Integrity rx8640 Server can be purchased with either one or two core I/O boards (if an SEU 2 is added, then four core I/O boards with two core I/O in the SEU). Both core I/O boards are identical and provide console, SCSI, serial, and Management Processor (MP) functionality. The second core I/O is used to enable the dual hard partitioning in the HP Integrity rx8640 Server and provide access to a second set of disk drives. The internal peripheral bay is divided into two identical halves. Each half supports up to two low profile disks and one removable media device. A SCSI controller chip located on each core I/O board supports each half of the internal peripheral bay. This means that both core I/O boards must be purchased to access both halves of the peripheral bay. |
| | |
|
PCI Backplane |
Eight of sixteen I/O card slots are supported by dual high performance fat links. Each link is capable of providing 1060 MB/s of bandwidth. This means that half HP Integrity rx8640 Server I/O slots are capable of sustained 2.12 GB/s. Six of the sixteen I/O card slots are supported at 1060 MB/s of bandwidth. Aggregate I/O slot bandwidth is approximately 23 GB/s. In addition, because each I/O slot has a dedicated bus, any slot can be "hot plugged" or serviced without affecting other slots. The hot plug operation is very easy, and can be done with minimal training and effort. The HP Integrity rx8640 Server supports a number of PCI, PCI X, and PCI Express HBA (I/O) cards for I/O expansion. NOTE: The PCI X backplane is backward compatible with the older PCI backplane and can support many PCI HBA (I/O) cards. When HP 9000 rp8400 servers are upgraded to HP Integrity rx8640 servers using the chassis upgrade kit, the older and slower PCI backplanes in the HP 9000 rp8400 server must be upgraded to the newer and faster PCI X (AD160A) or PCI Express/PCI X (AD161A) backplanes When the rx8640 Server Expansion Unit 2 is connected to the HP Integrity rx8640 Server, its I/O backplanes act as PCI X or PCI Express I/O backplanes. See the rx8640 Server Expansion Unit 2 section for more details. |

| |
| Supported I/O Cards |
Cards can be in any combination (see Special Note section). Servers with one (1) cell board, minimum 1 - maximum 8. Severs with two (2) cell boards in base system, minimum 1 - maximum 16. Servers configured with SEU-2 and three (3) cell boards, minimum 1 - maximum 24. Servers with SEU-2 and four (4) cell boards, minimum 1 - maximum 32. SEU-2 only, cards can be in any combination (see Special note Section), minimum 1 - maximum 8 with three (3) cell boards in base server. SEU-2 only with four (4) cell boards in base server, minimum 1 - maximum 16. |
NOTE:
While ordering Windows Server 2008, do not mix differing brands of HBAs (Emulex
and Qlogic) within the same server configuration in an MPIO environment.This is
to avoid issues which occur when different Fibre Channel HBAs are used within
the same server which support different I/O max transfer packet sizes in an MPIO
environment. For example, the Emulex Fibre Channel HBAs support a max I/O transfer
packet size of 1MB and the Qlogic Fibre Channel HBAs support a max I/O transfer
packet size of 2MB. Mixing these two cards in an MPIO configuration can cause
the system to hit a BSOD 0X000000D1 with a reference to elxstor.sys Qlogic: |

Integrated Multifunction Core I/O |
The HP Integrity rx8640 Server chassis supports either one or two Core I/O cards (AB314A). Core I/O slots are located along the right rear vertical edge of the chassis. One core I/O card is included with each system. The first core I/O card will support up to four cell boards in the server and all I/O slots. For support of two hard partitions, a second core I/O is required in the host system. For support of three or four hard partitions (nPars), a third and/or fourth core I/O card can be added in the rx8640 Server Expansion Unit 2. See the SEU-2 section for more details. HP Integrity rp8400/rp8420/rx8620 Core I/O cards cannot be carried forward to the HP Integrity rx8640 server. Each Integrity core I/O card provides the following features: Management Processor: The Management Processor (MP) is a dedicated processor that simplifies and extends system management, as well as, enhances serviceability. The MP feature set was designed to minimize/eliminate the need for the System Administrator to be physically at the system to perform tasks such as diagnostics, system management, or even hard resets. Features:
External LAN port: 1-GbE LAN port using an RJ-45 connector External SCSI port: Ultra320 SCSI port for connections to mass storage or media. (A second U320 external port only available when internal drive off of LAN/SCSI is connected to Smart Array). Access to internal peripheral bay: The first core I/O card enables half of the HP Integrity rx8640 Server peripheral bay, which includes one removable media and two low profile disks. The second core I/O card enables the remaining internal peripherals, two disks, and one removable media bays. Customers that require access to more than two internal disks and/or one removable media slot must purchase the second core I/O card and more than one cell board. |

| Additional I/O resources using the Server Expansion Unit 2 (SEU-2) |
Additional I/O resources can be obtained by adding the HP Server Expansion Unit 2 (SEU-2). The SEU-2 is an add on chassis containing I/O resources that complement the I/O and partitioning capabilities within the HP Integrity rx8640 Server. The SEU-2 mirrors the I/O resources embedded within the HP Integrity rx8640 Server chassis, adding 16 I/O card slots, 4 disk bays, 2 removable media slots, and enabling 2 additional hard partitions. The SEU-2 must be installed in the same cabinet and directly above the host rx8640 server. Please refer to the Server Expansion Unit 2 section in this guide or more specific details. The following table summarizes the I/O configuration rules when an SEU-2 is configured with the HP Integrity rx8640 Server. |

AC/DC Power |
DC Power Supplies PCI Power Supplies AC Power Although many HP Integrity rx8640 Server configurations can be sufficiently powered from a single 16 /20 amp branch circuit, HP strongly recommends using one 16-amp (minimum) branch circuit per power cord. Due to the variety of 16/20 plugs used throughout the world, the HP Integrity rx8640 Server menu offers a choice of plug options. All HP Integrity rx8620 servers are shipped with four AC power cords. |

Power Distribution Units |
60 amp Power Distribution Unit
A 60-amp Power Distribution Unit (PDU) has been developed for Integrity customers that prefer to use fewer, higher amperage connections into their wall electrical infrastructure. This PDU is sold separately and can be ordered with any HP Server solution. For more details on PDUs, please refer to the PDU sales collateral. The drawing below is an example of how the PDU can be configured with the HP Integrity rx8640 Server in a dual grid configuration. In this case there are two HP Integrity rx8640 servers (average configurations drawing ~9 amps each) and two 60-amp PDUs configured with redundant power. The blue cords represent the primary power connections needed for normal operation. In this example, cords from each server are plugged into a separate branch circuits. However, it is acceptable, for lower VA configurations, for each server to plug both grid A cords into one branch circuit and both grid B cords into second branch circuit. The remaining PDU outlets can be used to power other components as long as the specifications for the PDU rating are not exceeded. For redundant power inputs, the second set of red cords is added. If the second PDU is plugged into a second grid this configuration provides protection against:

| Partitioning | A hardware partition corresponds roughly to a single, standalone system. The HP Integrity rx8640 Server can be subdivided into four partitions, each containing one or more cells that communicates coherently over a high bandwidth, low latency crossbar fabric. Special programmable hardware in the cells defines the boundaries of a partition in such a way that the isolation is enforced from the actions of other partitions. Each partition runs its own independent instance of the operating system (HP UX 11i v3, HP UX 11i v2, Windows Server 2008, Linux, or OpenVMS). Applications cannot span partitions since each partition runs its own instance of the OS, essentially functioning as a stand alone server. However, different partitions may be executing the same or different revisions of an operating system, or they may be executing different operating systems altogether (such as HP UX 11i v3, HP UX 11i v2, Windows Server 2008, Linux, or OpenVMS), with OS availability. Each partition has its own independent processors, memory and I/O resources consisting of the resources of the cells that make up the partition. Resources may be removed from one partition and added to another without having to physically manipulate the hardware just by using commands that are part of the System Management interface. With future releases of HP-UX and Windows, using the related capabilities of dynamic reconfiguration (e.g. on line addition, on line removal), new resources may be added to a partition and failed modules may be removed and replaced while the partition continues in operation. Partitioning the resources of the complex in this way makes it easy to run multiple applications on the same physical system; you can allocate physical resources and tune the operating system running on each partition depending on the needs of the application (or the most important application) you intend to run on it. Alternatively, you can configure the HP Integrity rx8640 Server as a single partition, allowing all the resources to be focused on a single set of tasks, for example a large online transaction processing application. You can increase or reduce the processing power of a partition by adding or deleting cells. With the rx8640, you must shut down the operating system running on the affected partition(s) before moving cells, and before making configuration changes that will take effect. Though the OS may include commands for some configuration tasks, HP recommends you use the Partition Manager (parmgr) to configure partitions. Hardware based partition configuration changes may require a reboot of
the partition depending upon the configuration change. The reboot of the partition
only affects the partition that is being reconfigured. The other partitions defined
in the chassis are not affected and will continue to execute without interruption.
In a future HP-UX release, dynamic hard partitions will be supported. Dynamic
partitions imply that partition configuration changes do not require a reboot
of the partition. The HP Integrity rx8640 Server can be divided into four independent hardware partitions when configured with the HP Server Expansion Unit 2. In a partitioned configuration, I/O bay resources such as I/O slots, core I/O, disk and removable media bays, are always dedicated to the corresponding cell board slot. In other words, I/O bay 0 resources are always configured to the cell board in Cell slot 0. Therefore, in a partitioned system, the amount of resources within a partition is always proportional to the number of cells within that partition. There is no flexibility to otherwise divide these components. For example, in a system configured with two cells in separate nPars, it is not possible to include twelve I/O slots in partition 0 and four I/O slots in partition 1. Please refer to the "HP Server Expansion Unit 2" section in this document for more specific details. The table below summarizes the resource availability based on hardware partitions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Software Partitioning |
HP Integrity rx8640 servers support virtual partitioning (vPars) to the single processor level similar to support on HP 9000 servers with HP-UX 11i v1. With vPars, a user will be able to support up to eight separate virtual partitions each with an instance of HP-UX within each hard partition. VPars will provide many of the features of nPars but without the electrical isolation and support for hardware failures that nPars provides. HP Virtual Machines is supported on the rx8640 server.

Racking |
The HP Integrity rx8640 Server was designed to provide industry leading performance density and availability when ordered in a racked configuration. At 17 EIA units (29.75 inches), two HP Integrity rx8640 servers can be mounted into a single HP rack two-meter cabinet with 7 or 8 EIA units of extra space for mounting external peripherals. One rx8640 can be mounted in a rack along with a Server Expansion Unit 2. The HP Integrity rx8640 Server industrial design and packaging was designed to allow easy and quick access to all of the system's components. The most frequently handled devices, removable media and disks, are directly accessible at the system's front. By removing the front bezel, hot-swap fans, hot-swap power supplies, and PCI power supplies can be completely serviced. At the rear, core I/O and more hot-swap fans are directly accessible. For access to all other components, the rack-mounted HP Integrity rx8640 Server comes with rack sliders. These rack sliders enables the HP Integrity rx8640 Server to be slid forward out of the HP Rack cabinet for servicing of internal components such as fans, cell boards, and I/O cards, while the system is still running. The sliders also allows for servicing or replacement of any FRU (field replaceable unit) without removing the chassis from the cabinet. The HP Integrity rx8640 Server industrial design and slider strategy enables access and removal of any FRU within 15 minutes or less. This design feature minimizes the downtime associated with system upgrades in the rare event of a component failure. Also included with ever rack mounted HP Integrity rx8640 Server is a cable management arm (CMA). The CMA neatly secures data cables and prevents cables from becoming entangled while servicing of the system. The following racking rules apply for HP Integrity rx8640 servers configured with an HP Server Expansion Unit 2 that is factory integrated.
When adding an SEU-2 in the field to an existing host server, It is preferred that the SEU-2 be installed directly above the host server. When not possible to install the SEU-2 above the host server in the field, it is supported to install the SEU-2 in an adjacent rack. Please consult the SEU-2 install guide for more details. |

Heavy Duty Stabilizing Kit for 10K G2 Universal Rack (not used with Rack System E) |
A heavy duty stabilizing kit is required for the rack of the rx8640 server to add stability for the HP Universal 10K G2 rack. With this stabilizing kit, the ballast is no longer needed with the new HP Universal rack. Use of the Heavy Duty Stabilizing kit is mandatory and should be installed immediately. |
|
|
|
|
Ballasts for Rack System E Cabinets (not used with Universal Rack 10K G2) |
Due to the weight of the HP Integrity rx8640 Server, ballast kits have been developed to add stability to HP Rack Systems/E cabinets while the system is being serviced. Every HP Integrity rx8640 Server shipped to customers will be shipped with a ballast kit. These ballasts were designed to easily attach to the rear anti tip foot that comes standard with every HP Rack System E cabinet. Use of the HP Integrity rx8640 Server ballast kit is mandatory and should be installed immediately. |
|
|
|
|
UPS |
Management of local UPSs for the rx7640 and rx8640 is now through a LAN port on the core I/O card. Management of UPSs by the predecessor, rx7620 and rx8620 servers was through a serial port on the core I/O. The serial port is not available on the rx7640 and rx8640 servers. Therefore, when upgrading or adding rx7640 and rx8640 servers to your environment and using local UPSs (as opposed to datacenter wide UPSs), make sure there is a LAN management card available on the local UPS. |
|
|
|
|
10000 and 9000 Racks |
The HP 9000 and Integrity servers are supported for field installs into these racks. Factory integration will not be supported for HP 10000 and HP 9000 racks. Differing depth requirements of the HP 9000/Integrity racking kits preclude racking HP 9000/Integrity servers and HP ProLiant servers in the same racks. Refer to the 10000 G2 Series Rack Best Practices Guide for Information on rack deployment, stabilization, and transportation. Go to: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/rackandpower.html for more information. When field racking for the mid-range servers in any rack (10K G2, System
E or third-party), the customer will have t order the appropriate service
product (HA124A1 option 570 - HP Startup Field Racked Mid Server Service). For further details, refer to the racking solutions section in the configuration guide. |
|
|
|
|
Third-Party Racking |
HP Servers are designed to maximize performance density when installed into HP Rack Systems. HP Rack Solutions maintain the high level of safety and reliability of HP Server solutions that customers have come to expect. Although HP strongly recommends racking servers in HP Rack Solutions, it recognizes that some customer circumstances may prohibit this. For those customers, HP has developed a set of guidelines that when followed, enables server installations into third party cabinets. It is extremely important that the guidelines be followed due to the wide variety of cabinets in the market place. Please refer to the racking solutions section in the configuration guide for configuration guidelines. |

Upgrades
|
HP Integrity rx86xx/HP 9000 rp84xx Upgrades to HP Integrity rx8640 Servers |
All HP rp84xx, rx84xx servers are in box upgradeable to rx8640 servers in the current chassis. In box upgrades may take one to two 8 hour periods either of successive days or using successive shifts on the same day. In box upgrades will have the advantage of asset tag retention. You can also accomplish an upgrade by combining the purchase of a new server with Trade Up credits on the older server. Box swap upgrades may have the advantage of less upgrade down time. In box upgrades and box swap upgrades may have similar prices depending on the amount of memory and number of cell boards and processors that have to be upgraded.
