IBM z13 Storage Granularity

 If a user specified origin is defined for a logical partition's central storage,
► the origin, initial, and optional reserved (additional) central storage values for the
logical partition must all use at least 2 GB (2048 MB) granularity. It may be larger,
refer to the table below.
 If a user specified origin is not defined for a logical partition's central storage (system
determined),
► following table defines the granularity requirement for the logical partition's initial and
optional reserved central storage values. This is driven off the larger of the initial and
reserved values: (LCSA in the table):
 Note: Expanded Storage granularity always 512 MB

Largest Central Storage Amount Specified Storage Granularity Required

(Initial and Reserved)
LCSA ≤ 256 GB 512 MB
256 GB < LCSA ≤ 512 GB 1,024 MB (1 GB)

HMC Data Replication

Versioning

Page 13 IBM Systems

SHARE Session 17416 © 2015 IBM Corporation
 HMC & SE 2.13.0

Overview
 Data replication...
► Is an HMC task and underlying communication framework
► Allows the exchange of configuration data between linked
machines
● 'customer information'
● 'user profile data'
● etc
► Can be disabled preventing this exchange

► Exchanges of data (inbound and outbound) are logged

IBM z13 GA1 => Versioning Implications

 Data Replication versioning introduced for different data types

 If Data Replication used:

► All HMCs to be included in DataRep must be upgraded to HMC 2.13.0 level (IBM
z13 HMC level)!!!
● No data will be replicated if not at 2.13.0
● z13 HMC Upgrade order:
– Recommend doing an existing HMC MES first
– See next chart
► Prior to 2.13.0, can have mixed HMC levels
► Future 2.13.0 plus levels can also have mixed levels
● Only if versioning changed, would need to update to certain HMC levels
– Expect this to be somewhat an exception

 General recommendation to upgrade HMCs to newest

► With understanding of potential change to HMC hardware in some cases

 HMC & SE 2.13.0

IBM z13 GA1 => Versioning Implications

 HMC 2.13.0 Upgrade Considerations:

► Assuming Redundant Master HMCs on 2.12.1 or earlier
1) MES Upgrade one existing HMC Master to 2.13.0
– Will carry forward User Information, Grouping Data, etc.
2) Maintain the other 2.12.1/earlier Master at current level
3) Install any new 2.13.0 HMCs
– point them to replicate from 2.13.0 Master
4) MES upgrade remaining 2.12.1/earlier HMCs (not the Master) to 2.13.0
– They will replicate from 2.13.0 Master automatically
5) Lastly update 2.12.1/earlier Master to 2.13.0
6) Point new footprint HMCs to replicate from second Master (last upgrade)
► Shouldn't have to change definitions other than for new footprint HMCs
► Two HMC Groups stay in sync until all are on 2.13.0
● 2.13.0
● 2.12.1/earlier
● All eventually replicate/get any updated data from 2.13.0 Master

Prior HMC time source configuration

 HMCs had two choices for a time source:
► 1) NTP enabled on HMC
● Configured on Customize Date and Time panel
● HMC's clock in synch with NTP time source's clock
● Preferred method of setting HMC time when running STP

Security Enhancements – User Management (cont.)

 Custom User Role Enhancements
► Permission to custom groups of objects allowed
● e.g. Put a subset of “partition” resource objects into a group named “production
partitions” and add the group to a custom user role
● In prior releases, permission to each “partition” resource object had to be added to a
custom user role
► Permission to a class of resources/objects allowed
● e.g. All partitions via object type “LPAR Image”
► Permission to resources/objects and tasks in the same role
allowed
● e.g. Putting the “Activate” task and a specific “partition” resource object in a single
custom user role

 Please reference “Getting Started” scenarios

► Sample scenarios for the new User Management controls
► Located
● Online Helps: User Management task Help, Select link to “Getting Started”
● IBM Knowledge Center: z Systems, z13, HMC tasks, User Mgmt task, “Getting Started” link
● See Next Chart for list of scenarios

SHARE Session 17416 © 2015 IBM Corporation
 HMC & SE 2.13.0

User Management – Getting Started Scenarios

 Create a new user based on a system default user
 Create a single customized role containing all desired task and object
permissions
 Create a user who authenticates using an LDAP server
 Authenticate all employees using an LDAP server
 Verify who has permission to a task (for example, the Activate task)
 Verify who has access to a specific object
 Ensure all users are following your security standards for passwords
 Separate system resources between users
 Assign the view only variant of a task to a user (for example, the
Hardware Messages task)
 Modify a user to grant remote access to the console
 Create a customized managed object role (similar to the approach
available in HMC version 2.12.1)
 Create a customized task role (similar to the approach available with HMC
version 2.12.1)

 Monitor for user “bob” logging on console

 Message #1409 - User {0} has {1} from session id {2} for the reason: {3}
Substitution variables are:
· {0} User name
· {1} 'logged off' or 'disconnected'
· {2} Logon session identifier
· {3} Reason why the session was logged off or disconnected

 Parser searches for event id “1409” with first subvar “bob”

DNS resolution of addressing to enhanced IBM Support structure

DNS host name resolution is required for connectivity to the

Enhanced IBM infrastructure.
►If RSF connection is not configured to use an SSL Proxy Server
● Network Settings on call-home HMCs must include DNS configuration
● Recommend a backup DNS for reliability
►IfRSF connection uses an SSL Proxy Server, customer has choice
where the ip address resolution is done:
● Can be resolved on HMC, using Network Settings on HMC
● Can be resolved at SSL Proxy, if Proxy has DNS available

Note: Use of hostnames usage facilitates dynamic management of redundant servers.
