This section contains information about the minimum hardware requirements necessary for operating the TPF 4.1 system. Additionally, the following are required:
This section discusses TPF 4.1 server support, as well as tightly coupled considerations and loosely coupled considerations for these servers.
The TPF 4.1 system supports the following servers:
Tightly coupled considerations or working storage constraints are not unique to CMOS processors. The same considerations apply as they would for IBM 3090 or IBM ES/9000 systems. Because of the CMOS uniprocessor performance, you may give more thought to this than you might have otherwise.
For loosely coupled complexes, the 9672 model has the same requirements as IBM ES/9000 bipolar systems:
This section discusses storage devices such as tape units and direct access storage devices (DASD) and DASD control units.

Table 6 provides a brief description of the Requests for Price
Quotations (RPQs) and product features that are required for the various
central processing complexes (CPCs) for the TPF 4.1 system.
RPQ/Product Feature | Description |
---|---|
Sysplex Timer (STR) | The IBM 9037 Sysplex Timer (STR) is a common time source for clock
synchronization across central processing complexes (CPCs). It is part
of the IBM Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON) Architecture.
STR and RPQ 8P1189 are mutually exclusive.
|
TOD Clock Sync | This RPQ synchronizes the time-of-day (TOD) clocks in a loosely coupled
complex.
|
8P1189 | For the IBM 3090 and IBM ES/9000 9021 models, the TPF Enabler RPQ
provides the following functions:
For the IBM ES/9000 9121 models, the TPF Enabler RPQ provides the Channel Redrive function. In a loosely coupled environment, when TPF Enabler RPQ 8P1189 is active and multipathing is used, the central processing complex (CPC) must be an IBM ES/3090 Model S at SEC 852 or later SEC level, an IBM ES/3090 Model J or later model, or an IBM ES/9000 9021 model or 9121 model. |
8P1269 | For the IBM ES/3090 and IBM ES/9000 9021 models, the TPF Enabler
RPQ is required to run the TPF 4.1 system on the B side of any
processor that can be physically partitioned. RPQ 8P1189 is a
prerequisite for this RPQ.
|
8P1441 | This is the Channel Redrive RPQ for selected models of the IBM ES/3090 Model J. |
9021 (FC 9593/1593) | The TPF ESA (Channel Redrive) Enabler. |
Table 7 summarizes the IBM 3380 and IBM 3390 direct access storage device (DASD) models that are supported by various control units and Requests for Price Quotations (RPQs) in only a single central processing complex (CPC) environment.

Table 7 also provides information for those who have not previously
installed any 3990 RPQs or functions. These are called new installation
RPQs or functions. If you have already installed one of the new
installation RPQs or functions and would like to convert to a different new
installation RPQ or function, conversion RPQs are available. For more
information about the new installation RPQs or functions and the conversion
RPQs, see 3990 Transaction Processing Facility Support

To run in a loosely coupled complex under the High Performance Option (HPO) feature, Multi-Processor Interconnect Facility interprocessor communications (MPIF IPC) is required because direct access storage device interprocessor communications (DASD IPC) is no longer supported. The hardware needed is:
