New With V5R3 - IBM eserver i5 Handbook

Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004

New with V5R3

OS/400 is included with iSeries systems and licensed under the International
Program License Agreement (IPLA). OS/400 Version 5 is software keyed to the
designated serial number of the machine where it is initially installed. OS/400
Version 5 is licensed to operate on only that serial number machine and may not
be moved or transferred from one machine to another except in an emergency
backup situation.
There is a per-processor charge, which applies when running OS/400 on iSeries
Models 520, 550, 570, 595, 800, 810, 825, 870, and 890 (processors #2497 and
#2498 only). These terms do not apply to Model 890 systems with #0197, #0198,
#2487, or #2488 feature processor cards.
Terms are not changed for OS/400 running on other models of iSeries or
AS/400e servers.
For Models 520, 550, 570, 595, 800, 810, 825, 870, and 890 (processors #2497
and #2498 only), OS/400 is priced based on the number of processors actually
using OS/400 on the system. If Linux or AIX 5L is run on a n-way system, an
OS/400 license may not be required for the standby processors in the secondary
partition.
The number of processors that need an OS/400 license entitlement are the
aggregation of all processors, including partial shares of a processor, across all
partitions of a single system where OS/400 is used, rounded up to the next
highest whole number. Customers must license based on what the iSeries is
configured to use, the dedicated and capped partitions, and the virtual processor
quantity for uncapped partitions. If large Virtual Processor quantities are
configured for uncapped partitions, IBM does not require OS/400 licensing for
processors larger than the number of processors in a system.
Each IBM Eserver iSeries Edition feature includes the quantity of OS/400
processor licenses for the startup processors of the hardware model, for
example:
A uni-processor Model 520, 550 with the IBM Eserver iSeries Standard or
Enterprise Edition includes one OS/400 processor license entitlement.
A Model 570 2/4-way system with the Standard or Enterprise Edition includes
two OS/400 processor license entitlements.
When upgrading from a previous AS/400e or iSeries model to Models 520,550,
570, 810, 825, 870, or 890 (processors #2497 and #2498 only), one of either the
Standard or Enterprise Edition feature must be selected. If a software version or
