Writes go straight through to the SAN back-end. • Potential benefits are performance (more transactions, reduced response time), and/or improved scale and efficiency of SAN infrastructure via SAN off-load • For workloads that use RAM as a cache for I/O, smaller RAM caches maybe be possible with a flash based cache • Provides storage vendor agnostic I/O caching solution integrated into AIX • Cache is transparent to workloads and requires no application code changes • Supports virtualization features such as Live Partition Mobility • LPM support requires VIOS 2.2.4 (Dec 2015) • For more Information - https://ibm.biz/AIX72_Flash_Cache IBM, EMC, Hitachi, etc. Also available on AIX 7.1 TL4/SP2 (May 2016)

Also LVM thin storage block reclamation
- 24. 24 © IBMCorporation, 2016 AIX 7.2 Code Removal and LPP Changes • No support for POWER6, POWER5, or POWER4 • Additional Code Removals from AIX 7.2 – NIS+ – NDAF – IBM Virtual Shared Disk (rsct.vsd) – IBM Systems Director Components; pConsole – Selected old adapters – IP over FC driver – Fcparray head driver – graPhigs – Java 5 – Bos.INed – Obsolete locales – Selected performance toolbox components & eclipse2.rte, including bos.perf.gtools and performance workbench GUI
- 25. 25 © IBMCorporation, 2016 AIX 7.2 – Removal of Trusted Computing Base • Remove “Trusted Computing Base” Rationale: –Since AIX6.1, Trusted Execution (TE) is available and it's part of base AIX. –TE is a more powerful and enhanced mechanism that overlaps some of the TCB functionality and provides advance security policies to better control the integrity of the system. –Some key AIX features like WPAR is not supported with TCB
- 26. 26 © IBMCorporation, 2016 AIX 7.2 – Additional changes and enhancements • Other changes – CIFS Client – move it to the AIX Expansion Pack and provide the CIFS client with "as-is" support only. – JFS “Classic”: Remove as an install option; function would remain in AIX 7.2 and continue to be supported – Include DSO features in base OS (bos.aso) – no separate LPP on AIX 7.2 • LPPs not supported on AIX 7.2 – Fast Connect – Performance Toolbox – PowerSC Trusted Surveyor not supported on AIX 7.2 as management server • OpenSSH is being added to the Bos Install menus • HTTPD support in NIM
- 27. 27 © IBMCorporation, 2016 AIX 7.2 bos.net.tcp.client re-packaging Goal: Reduce the need to patch unnecessary packages –All the new split-out packages are installed by default. –User may remove the individual (split-out) packages if no other packages require them. –Once removed, those packages will not be installed/updated during future TL or SP updates. –If customers have installp packages dependent on any of the three filesets, they will need to update the pre-req for AIX 7.2. –Full details: http://ibm.biz/aix72_bos_net_packaging
- 28. 28 © IBMCorporation, 2016 NIM HTTP Option for Client ‘Pull’ Installation • Benefits of using http download access? – Communication occurs over a single http port, easy firewall management – Secure transactions use digest authentication methods (TLS v1.0/1.1/1.2) – Actions are driven from the client's end (the install target), no host access required • How does it work? – The HTTP service is an embedded http service option in NIM. – The service is dynamic, binds to a well-known port, and exists only when resources are being remotely served. – IPv4 and IPv6 environments are supported • What is supported? – NIM scripting customization – Fileset install, bundle install • Limitations – No support for network boot – No support for NIM BOS installation – No support for Thin Server provisioning
