| Step 4 - Select Memory Options |
- Memory options are engineered specifically for use with this series and include
additional components, which are integral to the system architecture.
|
- Memory options consist of a series of base modules that contain one memory array. A
second array (called "upgrades" in the table) may be added to a base module in
the factory or in the field.

configurations that require N+1 redundant power are restricted to a maximum of 24-GB of
mixed memory (sixteen 1-GB DIMMs and sixteen 512-MB DIMMs). If N+1 redundant power is not
required, 32-GB of memory is supported. |
|
|
| Memory Configuration
Guidelines |
| Memory options should be selected
in the context of the application's sensitivity to memory bandwidth and memory capacity,
and the number of hardware partitions. This will determine the number of memory base
modules and upgrades needed. The total capacity required will determine the size of the
arrays to be chosen. |
The configuration of memory may
influence the performance of applications, and there are numerous ways to configure the
choices of memory base modules and upgrade DIMMs. The following general guidelines can
lead to several configuration choices. Application-specific guidelines will help narrow
down the choices.
- Configuring for capacity: The highest capacity is achieved when the 3X-MS8AA-DB/DU
combination is used.
- Configuring for performance: Interleaved operations reduce the average latency and
increase the memory throughput over non-interleaved operations. Each memory base module is
capable of 4-way interleaving with one array (no upgrades added) or 8-way interleaving
with two arrays (base module plus one upgrade). A QBB configured with eight arrays (four
base modules plus four array upgrades) provides 32-way interleaving and has the maximum
potential memory bandwidth. Refer to "Memory Applications Examples" below to
determine which applications gain the most benefit from this bandwidth.
- Memory modules should be configured in powers of 2: That is, 0, 1, 2, or 4 base modules
in a QBB. Upgrades should also be installed in powers of 2: 0, 1, 2, or 4 base modules in
a QBB.
- Although mixed-capacity memory modules may be configured, the highest bandwidth is
achieved when a QBB is populated with eight identical arrays: four base modules and four
upgrades. The next-highest bandwidth would be four base modules (four arrays).
- If it is not possible to match the capacities of all the arrays, the next best choice is
to configure pairs of identical base modules, or base module/upgrade combinations. For
example, a configuration of two 2-GB base modules (3X-MS8AA-CB), each with a 1-GB upgrade
(3X-MS8AA-BU) is a better choice than a configuration of three 2-GB modules (3X-MS8AA-CB).
|
|
| 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, some are sensitive to memory bandwidth,
some are sensitive to neither. 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 base module, with upgrade, for every
two CPUs. This would result in one memory array per CPU.
- 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 arrays to the number of CPUs.
- Data mining can benefit from additional memory bandwidth. It is best to match the number
of memory base modules to the number of CPUs.
- The most demanding high-performance technical applications (HPTC) achieve a performance
level that is directly proportional to memory bandwidth. In these cases, configure one
memory base module, with upgrade, per CPU. This results in two memory arrays per CPU.
The following table represents how 8 GB could be configured in a 4-CPU QBB in each of
the four referenced applications. The numbers under each application represent how many of
each memory option should be ordered. |

|
| Step 5 - Evaluate Configuration Requirements to Support Optional
Partitioning |
| Configuration Requirements for
Partitions |
- Configuring partitions requires some attention to detail with respect to minimum
requirements for option selection, population, and option placement.
|
- A single AlphaServer GS80 Model 8 can be divided into two logical hardware partitions,
each running an instance of Tru64 UNIX V4.0G or Tru64 UNIX V5.1, or an instance of OpenVMS
V7.2-1H1. Each partition is allocated its own dedicated "shared-nothing" set of
hardware resources: QBB(s), CPU module(s), memory module(s), and I/O.
|
- Each hardware partition is viewed as a unique node, from a system point-of-view, with
its own instance of Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating system and application software,
independent system console, and error log.
|
- In the AlphaServer GS80 each of the two hardware partitions is defined by a single QBB.
|
- One system management console (3X-DS8BA-xx) and one console hub (3X-DS8AA-AA) required
per system.
|
- Supported option rules apply for maximum configurations of each AlphaServer GS80 system
partition. Care must be exercised to ensure that any planned reconfiguration of hardware
partitions will not violate option support rules.
|
|
| Minimum Hardware required per
AlphaServer GS80 Hardware Partition |
| Each hardware partition requires
one QBB and that QBB must be configured with the minimum hardware listed below. Each QBB
can be configured with additional hardware once this minimum requirement is met. |
- One Alpha 21264 6/731-MHz CPU module
|
- One 3X-MS8AA-BB/CB/DB memory module (1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB)
|
- One 3X-KFWHA-BA system I/O module and one 3X-DWWPA-AA master PCI drawer. Depending upon
the configuration, this may require the use of an H9A20-AA/AB/AC expansion cabinet.
|
- AlphaServer GS80 systems are normally configured according to standard module placement
rules, and are shipped with one copy of the operating system installed at the factory
(Tru64 UNIX V4.0G, Tru64 UNIX V5.1, or OpenVMS V7.2-1H1). However, systems with hardware
partitions offer hardware and software configuration flexibility. Factory Integration
Services (VIS) are recommended to enable custom module configuration and factory
installation of multiple copies of the operating system on hardware partitioned systems.
|
|
| Optimizing System Resources |
| The following configuration
guidelines can be used to improve performance in systems or in each partition of a
hardware-partitioned system. |
- Balance the resources in the system (or hardware partition) based upon the available
backplane space and the proposed option populations:
- Sparsely configured systems, those that are using half or less than half of their
available capacity for CPUs, memory, and PCI drawers, should be configured with the
options concentrated in as few QBBs as possible. For example, a GS80 Model 8 with four
CPUs, four memory modules, and two PCI drawers would usually be configured in the first
QBB. The first QBB would be "active" and the second QBB would be available for
expansion.
- Densely populated systems, those that are using more than half of their available
capacity for CPUs, memory, and PCI drawers, should be configured with the options spread
out across both QBBs.
|
- Configure active QBBs symmetrically, each with CPUs, memory, and PCI drawers.
|
- Configure the I/O adapters so that each active QBB has direct access to the most
frequently accessed data.
|
|
| System Software Required for
AlphaServer GS80 Hardware Partition Support |
| Software Licensing for
Hardware Partitions |
- Base systems include operating system license (Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS) that licenses up
to two hardware partitions
|
| User and capacity-based licensing
is unaffected by hardware partitions. Examples: |
- If a product is licensed for 200 concurrent users, these users can be split among the
partitions, but cannot exceed 200 total users.
|
- If users have a departmental (license code "G") capacity license for a
product, that license can be loaded into the license databases on each of the hardware
partitions.
|
|
| Licensing Partitioned
AlphaServer GS80 Systems for Both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX |
- If the system requires both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX operating systems be licensed, one
operating system license is included in the base system and the second is added as a line
item. The second operating system license upgrade, which includes the license for only one
CPU, would be added to the order using the following part numbers. Order appropriate media
and documentation kits from Step 13.
|
|
OpenVMS software
upgrade for GS80 |
QB-63PAG-AG |
|
Tru64 UNIX software
upgrade for GS80 |
QB-595AM-AA |
|
- Only those SMP processors intended for use with the second operating system must be
similarly licensed. Use the following license-only part numbers to add an SMP license for
any CPUs intended for use with the second operating system:
|
|
OpenVMS Alpha SMP
license for GS80 |
QL-MT1A9-6Q |
|
Tru64 UNIX Alpha SMP
license for GS80 |
QL-MT4A9-6Q |
|
- The order of licensing is not important, but the following examples are similarly
constructed for clarity: The configuration starts with a Tru64 UNIX base system part
number and the addition of OpenVMS licenses.
|
Example 1: 8-CPU GS80 system in
which all processors are licensed for both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX:
- Base system order would include a DA-A80BA-Ax and seven 3X-KN8AA-AB SMP upgrade CPUs
- Add one QB-63PAG-AG OpenVMS software upgrade and seven QL-MT1A9-6Q OpenVMS Alpha SMP
licenses
|
Example 2: 8-CPU GS80 system in
which all the processors are licensed for Tru64 UNIX and four processors are also licensed
for OpenVMS:
- Base system order would include a DA-A80AA-Ax and seven 3X-KN8AA-AB SMP upgrade CPUs
- Add one QB-63PAG-AG OpenVMS software upgrade and three QL-MT1A9-6Q OpenVMS Alpha SMP
licenses
|
- User and capacity-based licenses would be added for the second operating system
environment as though it were a standalone system.
|
|
| Step 6 - Configure Packaging Options |
| Step 6a -
Redundant (N+1) Power Supplies |
- Power supplies included with Model 4 and Model 8 systems can support all combinations of
CPUs, memory, and I/O that can be configured within the system boxes.
|
- Additional 48V power regulators can be ordered to provide N+1 power redundancy.
|
- For Model 4 systems, order one power supply to achieve N+1 capability; for Model 8
systems, order two power supplies to achieve N+1 capability.

| |
| Step 9 - MEMORY CHANNEL |
- Up to two PCI System Area Network controllers supported on an AlphaServer GS80 systems
or hardware partions
|
- Two-node clusters can be configured by ordering a CCMAB-AA for each system and one
BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable, cable connects directly to CCMAB-AA in each system
|
- For three or four system clusters, order one CCMAB-AA adapter and one BN39B-04 or
BN39B-10 cable for each system and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster
|
- CCMHB-AA includes four CCMLB-AA line cards and supports up to four nodes; expansion up
to eight system nodes can be achieved by adding up to four additional CCMLB-AA line cards
|
- If two or more CCMAB-AA controllers are configured in each system, a second CCMHB-AA hub
is required for clusters with more than two nodes; in two-node clusters the CCMAB-AA may
be directly connected
|
- One or two MEMORY CHANNEL adapters may be placed on a PCI bus segment; however, no other
devices may be placed on the same segment, and the remaining slots must be left empty.
|
| |
| Tru64 UNIX Systems
(V5.1 and later) in Clusters using MEMORY CHANNEL Interconnect |
- Each system in the cluster requires a TruCluster Server software license

|
| Tru64
UNIX Systems (V4.0G) in Clusters using MEMORY CHANNEL Interconnect |

(QB-3RLAG-AA) or TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL
(QB-4ZCAG-AA) software license
|
|
|
- TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL license (QB-4ZCAG-AA), normally used for high performance
technical computing applications, not required if systems include a TruCluster Production
Server license (QB-3RLAG-AA)

(QL-MUZAG-AA)
|
|
| |
|
|
| MEMORY CHANNEL
Fiber Optic Cable Option |
- In cases where nodes must be separated by a longer distance than standard copper cables
allow, the CCMFB option converts the output of the standard CCMAB controller or CCMLB line
card to single-mode fiber optic cable. The fiber optic connection may be up to 2,000
meters long between two CCMAB controllers connected in virtual hub mode, or 3,000 meters
between a CCMAB controller and a CCMHB hub. (The connection from the CCMHB hub to a second
system may also be 3,000 meters). The CCMFB option requires a second PCI slot in the
system from which it draws power only. It is normally connected to the corresponding CCMAB
controller with the short BN39B-01 cable. The CCMFB is also used in the CCMHB hub where it
occupies a slot normally used by the CCMLB line card, limiting expansion to four radial
fiber optic connections.
|
|
|
- The CCMHB-BA hub expansion box provides additional slots for up to eight fiber optic
connections. Two standard length, single-mode fiber optic cables are available (BN34R-10
and BN34R-31); however, users normally provide this connection. Customers should reference
the TIA/EIA 568-A Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard, Section 12.3.4.
Fiber optic connectivity is completely transparent to the systems using it and has no
performance impact.
|
|
|
- Up to two CCMHB-AA hubs may be mounted in an H9A20-AA expansion cabinet by utilizing a
2T-MAVRK-AA rack-mounting kit for each hub. A second MEMORY CHANNEL Hub (CCMHB-AA or
CCMHM-BA) mounted in an expansion cabinet reduces the amount of StorageWorks shelves by
one.

| Step 10 - System Console Support |
| System Management
Console |
- AlphaServer GS80 systems require the ability to log console messages, provide remote
access for service and support, and, in some cases, manage multiple hardware partitions.
The system management console is mandatory if the customer has no other means to provide
these capabilities.
|
|
|
- PC-based system management console is required for system power-up, diagnostics, console
partitioning, and console display and logging for use with AlphaServer GS80 systems.
|
|
|
- Includes network interface cards, universal modem, Compaq console software, 101-key
keyboard, mouse, and console documentation kit
|
|
|
- A monitor is required for use with the system management console. Choose monitor listed
in Step 12.
|
|
|
- Systems configured with redundant consoles or employing hardware partitioning require
the ability to connect multiple consoles. A console hub is mandatory if the customer has
no other means to provide these capabilities.
|
|
|
- Console printer recommended, but not required.
