ECoD

Steps to purchase ECOD days (Client)

Step 2 Client enters MTM/Serial

number, O/S and total number of ECOD days to

be purchased

Step 3Client enters

purchase order number

Step 4 Client agrees to payment totals

Step 5Client is provided with

receipt and records order number for

future ECOD usage

Step 1 for purchase of ECOD capacity:From the Entitled Systems Support site,

(http://www-304.ibm.com/servers/eserver/ess/index.wss), client logs on with their IBM ID, goes to “My Entitled Hardware” and then to the

Purchase New Elastic Days section

Steps to purchase ECOD days (Seller/Business Partner)

Step 2 Select Power Virtual

Capacity Machine Type Model: MTM 4586-COD

to order against

Step 3Select appropriate billing feature(s) for a server type you would like to

order ECOD and perform final validation

(feature description will show supported server MTM)

Step 4Share plant order number &

customer number as well as the provisioning instruction below with your client and invoice client BAU

(ECOD order will show up on clients ESS account for provisioning within 1-2 days)

Step 1 for purchase of ECOD capacity:From e-config/Partner commerce,

Seller/BP initiates a new or MES path configuration

Steps to generate and use ECOD days (Client)

Step 2 Client enters customer number and Marketplace order number

and selects MTMS from drop down menu provided list of

owned MTMSs

Step 3Client is provided

with current account balance information

Step 4 Client requests amount of ECOD days, accept

terms & conditions and generates activation

code

Step 5Download the new

ECOD activation code

Step 1 for deployment to servers:From the Entitled System Support site

(http://www-304.ibm.com/servers/eserver/ess/index.wss),client logs on with their IBM ID, goes to “My Entitled Hardware” and then to the

Generate new Elastic Codes section

Note: If client request provisioning (generating activation codes) by business partner. Client can authorize partner to use the customer number and partner can then set up ESS account with the order and customer number and following steps above. Also if customer would like to provision with a different customer number they can do so as long as the servers and customer number belong to same enterprise (DUNS) number.

To keep in mind:- Minimum# of static activations (proc/mem) on every S/N needed !- Pools can be P7&P8 or P8&P9 !- Mobile activations (proc/mem) have higher purchase & maint price

because of additional value- Pools can be across countries within the European Union !- Mobile activations can be transferred to next generation (n+1) for free.

(n+2 is 50% off price ; n+3 not allowed !)

Power Enterprise Pools enable you to move processor and memory

activations within a defined pool of systems, at your convenience.Instant

Movement !

Shared Utility Capacity across a pool of Power E980 systems

• Purchase System and Base capacity

• Variable demand addressed by purchasing Capacity Credits for Metered capacity

• Cloud Management Console with HMC automatically tracks and debits against Capacity Credits based on actual usage

Base and Metered Capacity • Processor activations• Memory activations• AIX and IBM i licenses

Usage tracked by the minute via Cloud Management Console

Metered

All processor & memory resources are fully activated

Power Enterprise Pools 2.0 with Utility Capacity

Utility Capacity consists of :• Base Capacity - purchased on each Power E980 system but aggregated

across the pool for consumption monitoringü Base Processor Activation (1 core - any OS)ü Base Linux Processor Activation (1 core)

ü Base AIX software license entitlement (1 core)

ü Base IBM i software license entitlement (1 core) ü Base 1 GB Memory usage

• Metered Capacity - additional resource above Base Capacity, activated for use when each system is added to a Poolü Metered resource consumption is monitored by the minute at the pool levelü Metered Capacity resource consumption is charged by the minute for specific

resources consumed above a pool’s aggregated Base Capacity

• Clients may manage potential resource consumption via PowerVM & PowerVC configuration & resource management options & policies

15

Power Enterprise Pools 2.0 will offer Utility Capacity across a collection of Power E980 systems to deliver seamless multi-system resource sharing and new flexibility for clients deploying a private cloud infrastructure.

Client purchases Power E980 systems with new Base Processor & Memory Activation resources.

Requirements for Power Enterprise Pools 2.0• Client purchases or leases a Power E980 system with some “dark”

resources available for temporary use. – Up to 16 Power E980 systems may be in the same Pool– All Power E980 must be in the same enterprise and country – FW 930 is required– Up to 500 VMs at GA (SOD for 1,000)– Shared Processor Partitions only - no Dedicated LPARs– 25% Base Processor Activations are required– 50% Base Memory Activations are required– Cloud Edition software is required for every Base Processor Activation– Cloud Management Console connection required

• All HMCs managing servers within a Pool require Network Time Protocol (NTP) to be enabled

• Performance and Capacity Monitoring (PCM) must be enabled via HMC for each server in a Pool

– Hardware & Software Maintenance are required

• Client purchases Capacity Credits from Sales (via eConfig order) or directly via Entitled System Support (ESS) (where currently available in US, Europe & MEA) to pay for resource consumption.

21

Process for Utility Capacity consumption

22

• Client purchases Capacity Credits from IBM/BP or directly (where available) via Entitled System Support (ESS) site to pay for Metered resource consumption.

• Client establishes a Pool ID via ESS using S/N of a system and selecting order # with Capacity Credits.

• Client creates a Power Enterprise Pool (2.0) via the Cloud Management Console, selecting available Power E980 systems by serial number and associating each with the same Pool ID

• When the Pool is started, all processor and memory resources are activated and made available on each on all system in the pool, and the CMC begins monitoring the Processor, Memory and License entitlement resource usage of the pool by the minute.

• Metered resource usage above the Pool’s aggregate Base capacity is accrued by the minute and debited against a client’s Capacity Credits on account on a real-time basis…. visible in CMC updated daily in ESS.
