3. Ground Rules Remain Unchanged Setup and configuration services are an important part of accelerating the time to the full value of an IBM PureFlex System. Removal of these services can potentially impact the overall deployment experience and it is required that these services, whether offered by qualified IBM Business Partner or IBM Services team (minimum 3 of IBM Lab Services units) are included as a part of the customer solution proposal The default quantity of ServiceUnit MTM Features can be adjusted if an alternative pre-packaged offering is selected or added Additional prerequisites (e.g., VMware software licenses, Advanced FSM license) may apply e-config users must contact IBM STG Lab Services team directly (or if not known via e-mail at stgls@us.ibm.com or via web at ibm.com/systems/services/labservices/contact.html) to discuss the requirements and to obtain the details on alternative pre-packaged offerings, an estimated number of units and input on the prerequisites e-config users would be responsible to make sure that appropriate quantity of the STG ServiceUnits are included and that all the prerequisites are addressed Lab Services Opportunity Manager (OM) will determine the total quantity of STG SerivceUnits and type of MTM Feature or Part Number to be used in the quotation Lab Services OM will provide input on the all required prerequisites and licenses Pre-requisites will not be checked or enforced by the e-config or x-config tools The proposals for services in offshore countries will be handled manually by LBS or a qualified BP

9. IBM PureFlex Services – Finishing the Task of Achieving the Your Goal Every client must make their system production ready PureFlex takes several steps toward this goal by delivering an integrated system to our Clients. Hardware components are pre-installed, cabled, and set-up with a default configuration CMM and FSM are ready to configure VIOS is installed and ready to configure Storage/V7000 has a basic configuration applied Smart Cloud Entry install binary is loaded and ready for installation Ethernet switches and Fibre Channel switches will be preconfigured. Production Ready + Services The above is valuable, but additional important steps are required to prepare the PureFlex System for production. Hardware components must be integrated with the Client environment (e.g. network cabling and configuration) CMM and FSM must be configured VIOS must be configured Storage typically requires customization Smart Cloud Entry must be installed and configured Integrated System BTO / CTO
