Abstract

In July 2000, IBM announced enhancements to the RS/6000 SP that included a new version of the Parallel System Support Program, Version 3 Release 2 (PSSP 3.2), and support for clusters of S-series servers.

After an overview of the announcement, this IBM Redbooks publication goes into detail about various hardware and software enhancements including support for a cluster of S-series Enterprise servers without an SP, support for the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Security Services, RAS enhancements including First Failure Data Capture (FFDC), new diagnostics for customer engineers, and new diagnostics for managing the SP Switch or the SP Switch2.

Other SP-related products have also announced new releases. This book discusses General Parallel File System 1.3, LoadLeveler 2.2, and Parallel Environment for AIX 3.1. This book is for IBM customers, Business Partners, IBM Technical and marketing professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the new hardware and software components and improvements included in this RS/6000 SP announcement.
