zBX firmware management.
As a result of a MES upgrade from a zBX Model 002 or zBX Model 003, the zBX
Model 004 becomes a stand-alone machine. It must be added to an existing ensemble
HMC as an ensemble node member. As part of the upgrade, the zBX Model 004 is
detached from the owning CPC and receives two redundant internal SEs that are installed
on its B Frame. The zBX Model 004 object can then be added to the ensemble HMC by
using the Add Object Definition task. The ensemble HMC and the zBX Model 004 SE
along with the zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager can perform the following
monitoring and management functions:
– zBX firmware upgrades are downloaded from IBM RETAIN by using the HMC
broadband RSF connection. Firmware updates are saved locally and installed during a
scheduled MCL apply session.
– Firmware updates are installed from the HMC and zBX SEs by using the same process
and controls as used for z Systems servers.
– zBX hardware-related and firmware-related failures are reported to IBM, and the IBM
support structure is engaged, by using the HMC RSF. This is the same process that is
used for reporting z Systems problems.
zBX lifecycle management: zBX Model 004 supports the same System x, POWER7, and
DataPower XI50z blade types that are supported in zBX Model 003 and zBX Model 002.
