Ibm Z Unified Resource Manager; Ibm Dynamic Partition Manager - IBM z13s Technical Manual

When the DataPower XI50z is installed in the zBX, the Unified Resource Manager provides
integrated management for the appliance. This configuration simplifies control and
operations, including change management, energy monitoring, problem detection, problem
reporting, and dispatching of an IBM service support representative (IBM SSR), as needed.
Important: The zBX Model 004 uses the blades carried forward in an upgrade from a
previous model. Customers can install more entitlements up to the full zBX installed blade
capacity if the existing blade centers chassis have available slots. After the entitlements
are acquired from IBM, clients must procure and purchase the additional zBX supported
blades to be added, up to the full installed entitlement LIC record, from another source or
vendor.

1.6 IBM z Unified Resource Manager

The IBM z Unified Resource Manager is the integrated management software that runs on
the Ensemble HMC and on the zBX model 004 SEs. The Unified Resource Manager consists
of six management areas (for more information, see 11.6.1, "Unified Resource Manager" on
page 428):
Operational controls (Operations)
Includes extensive operational controls for various management functions.
Virtual server lifecycle management (Virtual servers)
Enables directed and dynamic virtual server provisioning across hypervisors from a single
point of control.
Hypervisor management (Hypervisors)
Enables the management of hypervisors and support for application deployment.
Energy management (Energy)
Provides energy monitoring and management capabilities that can be used to better
understand the power and cooling demands of the zEnterprise System.
Network management (Networks)
Creates and manages virtual networks, including access control, which allows virtual
servers to be connected.
Workload Awareness and platform performance management (Performance)
Manages CPU resource across virtual servers that are hosted in the same hypervisor
instance to achieve workload performance policy objectives.
The Unified Resource Manager provides energy monitoring and management, goal-oriented
policy management, increased security, virtual networking, and storage configuration
management for the physical and logical resources of an ensemble.

1.7 IBM Dynamic Partition Manager

A new administrative mode for the z Systems CPC is being introduced for Linux only CPCs
with FCP attached storage. The IBM DPM provides simplified z Systems hardware and virtual
infrastructure management including integrated dynamic I/O management for users that
intend to run KVM for IBM z Systems as hypervisor or Linux on z Systems running in LPAR
mode.
