AIX

Can u please help me in knowing the details of the servers needed,

FIBRE CABLES, HA softwares, VIO Softwares and other details.

I googled through out and couldnt get a clear idea of it. Please help me

Hi,

yes you need all those items, and probably more depending on the type of machine and the configuration you choose.

To give you an understanding in possible configurations download a redbook for the appropriate power-system.
e.g. IBM Power 750 and 755 Technical Overview and Introduction (IBM Redbooks | IBM Power 750 and 755 Technical Overview and Introduction)

regards

I hope this is an informational question, and you are not really responsible for building a new datacenter with this information you provided

good luck

See 'm looking fo rthe experts advice so that I can form the datacenter clupping up the details from all the UNIX forms
Solaris, AIX , SAN, and HP, Networking

I have googled and got some solutions. Please suggest the below specifications are right to go for a quote to the IBM!!!

Server Model : 9117-MMA (POWER6)CPU : 8 x 3.5GHz processor (Expandable up to 32 processors) 4-CoreRAM : 400 MHz DDR2, 16 GBStorage : 6 x 146GB SAS driveDual Port PCI Adapter : 6 PCI-X DDR 266 MHz Fiber Adapter : 6 Dual Port Fibre Emulex LPe11000 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel AdapterAIX 6.1 Enterprise EditionHMC hardwareHMC Version 7 Release 3.4.0HACMP 5.4 software with licenseVIO 2.1 software (This is free and can be downloaded from IBM website)POWER VM Enterprise Edition License

Lol? Sorry, that's all I can say. You did not even say what you are going to host etc. etc.
Maybe talk to IBM, tell them what you want to do and they can seize something for you including stuff like disaster precautions etc. etc.
Just googling without knowledge and experience makes no sense, only if you want to dish out money that you don't need.

First of all you will need to know what applications you are ggoing to run in your Data Centre. Only after you know that can you deicide on the hardware platform that suits you best.

If you are talking about building a whole new Data Centre you are looking at several millions of dollars (Pounds or Euros) of investment and to base that around advice on this or any other forum is somewhat misguided at best.

IBm has manay presales people and also those who can help you set up a Data Centre - but you first ABSOLUTELY need to understand what it is you are going to run in that Data Centre.

And thats without worrying about Disaster Recovery, Redundancy of Data, Backups and so on.

One detail - although you can download VIO 2.1 the server needs to be licensed for advanced virtualisation for the code to work - again IBM or their Business Parntner can help you out.

Yes I got the quote and 'm happy....
I want a standard server. and was able to figure out myself..
