Volvo IT’s Mainframe journey Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 1 September 2013 Volvo IT What is a mainframe – part I Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 3 September 2013 AGENDA Välkomna & Introduktion – Facilitator: Ronny Wester Continuous Availability – Volvo IT: Jonas Elmquist Volvo IT säkrar Mainframe-kompetensen – Volvo IT: Carl-Magnus Carlsson “Så här bytte vi Mainframe-leverantör” – ICA AB: Ola Andreasson, Head of IT Operations “Mainframe 2023” – IBM: Thomas Wolf, Director System z Firmware Development Volvo IT Introduktion Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 5 September 2013 AGENDA Välkomna & Introduktion – Facilitator: Ronny Wester Continuous Availability – Volvo IT: Jonas Elmquist Volvo IT säkrar Mainframe kompetensen – Volvo IT: Carl-Magnus Carlsson “Så här bytte vi Mainframe-leverantör” – ICA AB: Ola Andreasson, Head of IT Operations “Mainframe 2023” – IBM: Thomas Wolf, Director System z Firmware Development Volvo IT Continuous Availability 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 7 September 2013 Redundancy as a Philosophy Duplicated data centers. Logging of all system activities. Redundancy in hardware & communication. Physical security. Diesel power generators. Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 8 September 2013 Mainframe at Volvo IT Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 9 September 2013 Unavailability risks on Standard Services Primary Disc System Failures (requires IPL to startup LPAR to use Secondary Disc system). Failure in one or several sub systems (IMS, CICS, DB2 etc.) (*) Complete LPAR outage (*) HW failure (*) Volvo IT Maintenance Windows - planned => may imply unwanted unavailability. - 2 occasions at daylight saving times HW Maintenance (*) A D/R solution may somewhat mitigate unavailability. Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 10 September 2013 How to mitigate? Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 11 September 2013 Parallel Sysplex for z/OS Up to 32 systems (LPARs) joined creating a powerful clustered system. Specialized hardware & software operating environment “coupling facility control code” (CFCC). Multi-system data-sharing technology no loss of data integrity . Hardware & software can be maintained non-disruptively. Transactions & queries can be distributed for parallel execution based on available capacity, not restricted to a single node. Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 12 September 2013 What can Sysplex do for YOU? Platform for continuous availability - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. More work - Greater capacity. - Manage response time. - Further capacity & response time advances. Greater flexibility - Mix levels of hardware & software. - Dynamically add systems. - Easy path for incremental growth. - Workload balance. Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 13 September 2013 Benefits with Continuous Availability No single point of failure. Loss of a server transparent to the application, workload redistributed automatically. Peer instances => take over Each system is still individual. recovery responsibility. Automatic restart on still healthy systems. Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 14 September 2013 Continuous availability even during changes. Design Goal – no application changes. Consequences • Reduced capacity when one LPAR is lost. Thus maintenance should be planned to non peak hours. • Critical applications should be Sysplex compliant, may imply OTC. Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 15 September 2013 Continuous Availability for Linux on z VM06 VM03 CSE Linux Linux System data Application data PPRC Primary 3390 Mirror 3390 NFS / NetApp - The VM Linux-partions act backup for each other with capacity to take over all procuction machines from the other. - All disk configured reachable from both LPAR. Definition in SYSTEM CONFIG i n each machine what are on-line. - Cross System Extension admit shared disk between guests plus some Xlink / Xspool-funktionalitet. Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 16 September 2013 3 methods • Clustering. • Semi cluster with automated scripts. • Live Guest Relocation. Volvo IT Inspired by Volvo IT Mainframe 2023 17 September 2013 Volvo IT’s offering • A suitable customized Parallel Sysplex z/OS environment for continuous availability. • Linux on z services with continuous availability. => all to meet our customers’ business demands.
