|
||
|
|
<p>Several pieces of hardware and software are combined to make an integrated
|
||
|
|
server.</p>

<div class="fignone" id="configobjects"><span class="figcap">Figure 1. Integrated server overview</span>
|

<div class="mmobj">

|
||
|
|
<p><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The <span class="bold">server hardware</span> is the physical hardware
|
||
|
|
(such as the processor and memory) that the integrated server runs on. There
|
||
|
|
are several types of server hardware that can be used for integrated servers,
|
||
|
|
depending on your needs. The server hardware can take the form of a card that
|
||
|
|
plugs into your iSeries™ server, an external IBM® xSeries® server that is attached to an iSeries server with an Integrated xSeries Adapter, or an external IBM xSeries or IBM BladeCenter™ server
|
||
|
|
that is attached to an iSeries server with an iSCSI host bus adapter. The integrated
|
||
|
|
server can also use tape and optical devices that are connected to the hosting i5/OS™ partition. See <a href="rzahqwisco.htm#rzahqwisco">Hardware concepts</a> for more information about
|
||
|
|
the types of hardware that can be used for integrated servers.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Each integrated server has one or more connections to a <span class="bold">network</span>. Both physical network connections with a network adapter and iSeries virtual Ethernet network connections are supported. See <a href="rzahqlanco.htm#rzahqlanco">Networking concepts</a> for
|
||
|
|
more information about the types of network connections that can be used with
|
||
|
|
integrated servers.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Each integrated server uses <span class="bold">virtual disk drives</span> that
|
||
|
|
contain the server's operating system, applications, and data. These virtual
|
||
|
|
disk drives are allocated from i5/OS disk storage. The integrated server treats
|
||
|
|
these drives as physical disk drives that are contained within the server.
|
||
|
|
However, the integrated server does not actually have any physical disk drives
|
||
|
|
of its own. See <a href="rzahqsoftconcepts.htm#rzahqsoftconcepts">Software concepts</a> for more information about
|
||
|
|
virtual disk drives.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><span class="bold">Shared devices</span> include all supported tape
|
||
|
|
drives and optical devices that the integrated server can access as if they
|
||
|
|
were local to the integrated server. By default, all iSeries tape and
|
||
|
|
optical devices are automatically accessible by the integrated server. You
|
||
|
|
can choose to restrict which of these iSeries devices the integrated server can access.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><span class="bold">Configuration objects in i5/OS</span> describe
|
||
|
|
each integrated server. The i5/OS configuration objects identify the hardware
|
||
|
|
that the integrated server runs on, the virtual disk drives that the integrated
|
||
|
|
server uses, the virtual Ethernet connections that the integrated server uses,
|
||
|
|
and many other attributes of the server. See <a href="rzahqsoftconcepts.htm#rzahqsoftconcepts">Software concepts</a> for
|
||
|
|
more information about the i5/OS configuration objects that describe an
|
||
|
|
integrated server.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p><img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" />
