Red Hat Production Technical Support

Production I Phase
•Bug ﬁx errata
•Feature enhancements
•Updated hardware support
Production II Phase
•Transition period
•Minor hardware updates
Production III Phase
•Only urgent ﬁxes

12

Optional add-on to regular RHEL Subscription, that provides independent
life cycles for the individual Service Packs during Production I phase.

The overlap is 18 months leading to a ~ 2 year life cycle for each Service Pack.

Selective backports of ﬁxes into the respective Service Pack
Provides Critical Impact security errata independent of customer requests.

Selected urgent priority defect ﬁxes to address production blocking problems reported by EUS customers.
Does not provide incremental features or hardware enablement
Inherits support SLA from underlying RHEL subscription (requires
Standard or Premium support).

Disaster Recovery for System z
POLICY

Red Hat offers the following discounts for disaster recovery

No discount on a RHEL subscription used on a hot backup
disaster recovery server.

50% discount on a RHEL subscription used on a warm
backup disaster recovery server.

RHEL subscriptions include the right to be immediately
transferred to a cold backup disaster recovery server.

This is a permanent offering that does not expire.

PRODUCT SKU / PART NUMBER
RH0470148: Red Hat Enterprise Linux for IBM System z
(Disaster Recovery), Premium

RH0419992: Red Hat Enterprise Linux for IBM System z
(Disaster Recovery), Standard

16

Hot backup: Server is frequently turned on and ready to move into production mode
immediately. This is typically what “fail-overs” do within a cluster.

Warm backup: Server is turned on periodically to receive backups from production servers and
updates from RHN. Periodic updates are performed no more frequently than every 60 days. For
example, warm backups are used in mirroring, replication, and log-shipping scenarios.

Cold backup: Server has software installed and conﬁgured, but then is turned off until the
disaster occurs or for periodic disaster recovery procedure tests. For RHEL this means that we
allow the customer to preload the bits as a courtesy. However, RHN can't be used to update
the system until the disaster happens. Then, the paid subscription on the failed machine transfers
to the cold backup sever.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4

Target beta: Dec 4, 2012
Target GA: Feb 7, 2013

20

RHEL 6.4 Features: Security

Support for CryptoExpress4S in EC12
Support for the PCIe I/O drawer conﬁguration
Support for digital signatures with new PKCS #11
Support for American Express EMV (Europay, Mastercard,
Visa) cards

21

RHEL 6.4 Features: Performance
Support new storage device: SCM via EADM subchannels
With this feature, Linux can access Storage Class Memory
as a block device.

HugeTLBfs support
System z support added to libhugetlbfs, a library which
provides easy access to huge pages of memory. It is a
wrapper for the hugetlbfs ﬁle system.

22

RHEL 6.4 Features: Tools
Update to Valgrind 3.8.0
Valgrind has proven to be a valuable tool debugging user-space
memory management problems.

Update lscpu/chcpu
This simpliﬁes and enhances the usability of CPU hotplug by
providing additional functionality via scripts

23

RHEL 6.4 Features: FCP

Implement data routing for FCP
Enable FCP to pass data directly from memory to SAN
(data routing) when memory on the adapter card is
blocked by large and slow I/O requests.

End-to-end data consistency checking
The T10 Technical Committee introduced an
enhancement to the SCSI standard (SPC-4, SBC-3) to
protect against errors in user data blocks. This
introduces the zfcp-speciﬁc part in the Linux on System
z I/O stack for E2E data consistency checking.

Beta released Sept 21, 2012
Target GA: Dec 11, 2012
