i5/OS and OS/400 (5722-SS1): Architecture 551
Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486OpS.fm
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced server
can be used to extend Windows application scalability, while retaining the
storage consolidation and systems management advantages of the Integrated
xSeries Server.
Enhanced hardware support
Enhancements for the Integrated xSeries Server includes support for:
Up to 32 servers on select iSeries models
1 Gb Ethernet LAN adapter
iSeries DVD device
iSeries Navigator support for Windows disk and user
management
Additional facilities are added to iSeries Navigator to manage Integrated xSeries
Servers and xSeries servers that are directly attached to iSeries via the
Integrated xSeries Adapter. In addition to server management, iSeries Navigator
now supports disk and user management for these Windows servers.
Enhancements include the ability to create, delete, copy, link, unlink, and show
status for Windows server disks. Administrators can manage i5/OS and OS/400
user profiles that are enrolled into a Windows server environment.
GUI management and administration
Work Management
The Work Management function of i5/OS and OS/400 eases the job of systems
management by giving the operator control of the activities of a job and of its
performance characteristics. Work Management supports concurrent execution
of batch jobs, 5250 CPW jobs, and non-conversational transactions on the
system. Each job is protected from other jobs on the system. However, job-to-job
communication is allowed.
The system can be setup to dynamically adjust the execution priority of jobs that
are forced to wait for an opportunity to use the CPU. This configuration is
designed to prevent high priority jobs from monopolizing the CPU at the expense
of all other jobs in the system.
