2.1 Gdps Here
For IBM i partitions, the hallmark of 2.1 GDPS is HyperSwap. Historically, if a primary storage volume failed, the system required an IPL (Initial Program Load). With HyperSwap, the IBM i operating system (via the DS8000 Multipath Driver) instantly redirects I/O to the secondary copy. In a 2.1 environment, HyperSwap is triggered automatically when GDPS detects a storage path failure, without disrupting active jobs.
Implants and surgical tools require specific surface profiles to prevent bacterial adhesion. The accurate filtering provided by 2.1 GDPS ensures that "valleys" in the metal are correctly measured to guarantee sterilization efficacy. 2.1 gdps
The actual software component—GDPS Base—runs on a dedicated z/VM or Linux virtual appliance. Version 2.1 introduced the "Session Manager" for IBM i, which allows a single GDPS console to monitor up to 250 IBM i partitions simultaneously. For IBM i partitions, the hallmark of 2
