Autonomic Computing Principles The self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing, and self-protecting technologies of operating environments and systems. Seamless integration and distribution of resources by the operating system Instant detection, diagnosis and reaction to system disruptions Self-Configuring Self-Healing Automatically measure and tune resources to improve performance and usage Self-Optimizing Self-Protecting Anticipate, detect, identify and protect against attacks

z/OS Implementation of autonomic computing: Self-Healing • Repair - as in the Error Correction Code (ECC) • IBM System z Hardware has spare units on many components. This is called N+1 • Use of spare PUs • Use of spare memory chips • I/O has multipath access • Concurrent updates • System Software • Data Replication • Coupling Facility Structure • Synchronous copy • Automation engines • Virtualization • Health Checking
Self-Configuring • msys for setup simplifies the management tasks for z/OS software setup. • z/OS Wizards are Web-based dialogs that assist in z/OS customization. • Capacity upgrade CPU provides instant access to additional processors or servers, memory, I/O. • Customer-initiated upgrade. • Automatic hardware detection/configuration. • Automatic communication configuration.
Self-Protecting • LPAR, Certifications FIPS, I40-1 Level 4, EAL4, ZKA, ICSA Labs 1.0A • Intrusion detection IDS, PKI • Hardware cryptographic adapters • Digital certificates providing identity authentication • SSL and TLS (manages Internet transmission security), Kerberos (authenticates requests for service in a network), VPN, encryption • Tivoli Policy Director • LDAP (aids in the location of network resources)
Self-Optimizing • Intelligent Resource Director (IRD) • allows dynamic resource allocation on IBM System z servers • Dynamic LPAR • WLM LPAR extensions for Linux • Parallel Sysplex Extensions • Sysplex Distributor • CP Coupling • BIND9 DNS-DNS BIND Version 9.0 on z/OS • z/OS workload manager • CPU, memory, I/O, TCP/IP QOS, Web request management, and batch initiator balancing
Summary • The New Mainframe: • is autonomic computing • Self-healing, self-configuring, self-optimizing and self-protecting • Autonomlc Computing framework is needed • Touchpoints are needed in the framework • Autonomic Computing makes the IBM System z to the most reliable mainframe.
