IBM PowerVMTM Editions Virtualization without limits
Complexity can work its way into any IT infrastructure, driven by the rollout of new applications and unanticipated change. However, adding servers in response to each demand for new workloads drives the need for more datacenter space, power, cooling, network cabling, data stor- age and administrative resources. Such complexity leads to inefficiency. The answer is virtualization, which allows organizations to consolidate multiple operating systems and software stacks on a single platform.
PowerVMTM provides the industrial-strength virtualization solution for IBM Power Systems servers and blades. Based on more than a decade of evolution and innovation, PowerVM represents the state of the art in enterprise virtualization and is broadly deployed in production envi- ronments worldwide by most Power Systems owners.
The IBM Power Systems family of servers includes proven1 workload consolidation platforms that help clients control costs while improving overall performance, availability and energy efficiency. With these servers and IBM PowerVM virtualization solutions, an organization can consolidate large numbers of applications and servers, fully virtual- ize its system resources, and provide a more flexible, dynamic IT infra- structure. In other words, IBM Power Systems with PowerVM deliver the benefits of virtualization without limits.
PowerVM provides industrial-strength virtualization for AIX®, IBM i, and Linux® environments on IBM POWER® processor-based sys- tems. IBM Power Systems servers integrated with PowerVM technol- ogy are designed to allow clients to build a dynamic infrastructure that will help them to reduce costs, manage risk and improve service levels.

IBM Systems and Technology
Data Sheet
PowerVM also offers a secure and resilient virtualization environment, built on the advanced RAS (reliability, availability and serviceability) features, extreme scalability and leadership performance2 of the IBM Power Systems platform, based on the industry-leading POWER6® and POWER7® processors.
Employing virtualization
You can employ virtualization in many ways to achieve improvements in efficiency and flexibility:
? Consolidation of multiple workloads, including those on underutilized servers and systems with varied and dynamic resource requirements
? Rapid deployment and scaling of workloads to meet chang- ing business demands
? Aggregation of system resources such as CPUs, memory and storage into shared pools for dynamic reallocation between multiple workloads
? Application development and testing in secure, independent domains
? Live transfer of running workloads between servers to sup- port migrations, systems balancing, or to avoid planned downtime
Processor virtualization
The Power Systems family gives you the freedom to run the broadest selection of enterprise applications without the costs and complexity often associated with managing multiple physical servers. PowerVM can help eliminate underutilized servers because it is designed to pool resources and optimize their use across multiple application environments and oper- ating systems. Through advanced virtual machine (VM) capa- bilities, a single VM can act as a completely separate AIX, IBM i, or Linux operating environment, using dedicated or shared system resources. With shared resources, PowerVM can automatically adjust pooled processor, memory or storage resources across multiple operating systems, borrowing capacity from idle VMs to handle high resource demands from other workloads.
Power Systems
???2
With PowerVM on Power Systems, you have the power and flexibility to address multiple system requirements in a
single machine. PowerVM Micro-PartitioningTM supports multiple VMs per processor core and, depending upon the Power Systems model, can run up to 10003 VMs on a single server—each with its own processor, memory, and I/O resources. Processor resources can be assigned at a granular- ity of 1/100th of core. Consolidating systems with PowerVM can help cut operational costs, improve availability, ease man- agement and improve service levels, while allowing businesses to quickly deploy applications.
Multiple Shared Processor Pools allows for the automatic non-disruptive balancing of processing power between VMs assigned to shared pools, resulting in increased throughput. It also provides the ability to cap the processor core resources used by a group of VMs to potentially reduce processor-based software licensing costs.
IBM Systems and Technology
Data Sheet
Shared Dedicated Capacity allows for the “donation” of spare CPU cycles from dedicated processor VMs to a Shared Processor Pool. Since a dedicated VM maintains absolute priority for CPU cycles, enabling this feature can increase system utilization without compromising the computing power for critical workloads.
Because its core technology is built into the system firmware, PowerVM offers a highly-secure virtualization platform that has received the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) EAL4+ certification4 for its security capabilities.
Memory virtualization
PowerVM features Active MemoryTM Sharing, a technology that allows you to intelligently and dynamically reallocate memory from one VM to another for increased utilization, flexibility and performance. Active Memory Sharing enables the sharing of a pool of physical memory among VMs on a server, helping to increase memory utilization and drive down system costs. The memory is dynamically allocated amongst the VMs as needed, to optimize the overall physical memory usage in the pool.
I/O virtualization
The Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) is a special-purpose VM that can be used to virtualize I/O resources for AIX, i, and Linux client VMs. VIOS owns the resources that are shared with clients. A physical adapter assigned to the VIOS can be shared by one or more other VMs. VIOS is designed to reduce costs by eliminating the need for dedicated network adapters, disk adapters and disk drives, and tape adapters and tape drives in each client VM. With VIOS, client VMs can easily be created for test, development, or production purposes.
Power Systems

Shared Storage Pools allow storage subsystems to be combined into a common pool of virtualized storage that can be shared by the VIOS on Power Systems servers. Shared storage pools support capabilities such as thin provisioning, whereby VM storage is dynamically allocated and released as required, to improve overall storage resource utilization.
N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) provides direct access to Fiber Channel Adapters from multiple VMs, simplifying the deployment and management of Fiber Channel SAN environments.
Live Partition Mobility
Live Partition Mobility supports the movement of a running AIX or Linux VM from one Power Systems server to another without application downtime, helping avoid application interruption for planned system maintenance, provisioning, and workload management. Live Partition Mobility can be used to easily migrate operating environments to new servers temporarily or permanently.
x86 Linux application migration
The unique PowerVM Lx86 cross-platform virtualization capability enables you to run a wide range of x86 Linux applications5 on Power Systems platforms within a Linux on PowerVM. This feature is designed to support the consolida- tion of x86 applications onto the Power platform to take advantage of advanced performance, scalability, and RAS characteristics. PowerVM Lx86 enables the dynamic execution of x86 Linux instructions by translating them to instructions for a POWER processor-based system and caching the translated instructions to optimize performance. With PowerVM Lx86, you have immediate access to a broad selection of Linux applications, which you can run translated until they are available natively compiled for Linux on Power.
IBM Systems and Technology
Data Sheet
Systems management
PowerVM virtualization features are managed through the Hardware Management Console (HMC) or the Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) on entry-level Power Systems.
IVM allows you to point, click and consolidate workloads with its easy-to-use web-based interface. IVM lowers the
cost of entry into POWER5TM, POWER6 and POWER7 processor-based virtualization since it does not require the use of an HMC for system management. With IVM, you can manage a single system, including the creation of VMs, virtu- alized storage and virtualized networking.
IBM Systems Director VMControlTM also supports the PowerVM environment. VMControl is the IBM virtualiza- tion management tool for multiple, heterogeneous servers. It supports AIX, IBM i, and Linux on PowerVMs, as well as System x and System z operating environments. VMControl is a plug-in for IBM Systems Director that supports advanced management functions such as health check and topology mappings, as well as the ability to take action on monitored events. VMControl simplifies the creation and management of standardized virtual appliances (ready-to-run VMs) and system pools—combinations of VMs on multiple servers that can be managed as a single entity.
PowerVM Editions
IBM PowerVM Editions offer broad virtualization function- ality for AIX, IBM i and Linux operating systems:
PowerVM Express® Edition is offered exclusively on Power Express servers and is designed for clients seeking to evaluate virtualization features at an affordable price. With the
Power Systems

Express Edition, users can create up to three VMs on a server with IVM, use virtualized disk and optical devices with VIOS and try out PowerVM Lx86.
PowerVM Standard Edition is intended for production deployments and is available for all Power Systems servers and blades. It includes all the features of PowerVM Express Edition, as well as Micro-Partitioning, HMC management, dual VIOS support, Shared Processor Pools and Shared Storage Pools.
PowerVM Enterprise Edition is intended for multiserver pro- duction deployments and is available for all Power Systems servers and blades. It includes all the features of PowerVM Standard Edition, as well as Live Partition Mobility and Active Memory Sharing.
Diverse set of workloads
Many IBM Software Group offerings are optimized for a PowerVM environment supporting the consolidation of a diverse set of workloads—from database and application servers to web infrastructure. For example, PowerVM and WebSphere® Virtual Enterprise work together to provide a cross system virtualized application infrastructure that can lower operational and energy costs required to create, run, and manage enterprise applications and SOA environments. WebSphere Virtual Enterprise increases flexibility and agility to ensure business process integrity, improve service and application performance, and better manage application health.
