Additive Components

2 Application Unit

In addition to the Server Unit, up to 32 autonomous high-end x86-64 servers, which are known as Application Units,
can also be installed and operated in the rack of the SE server.
Application Units are particularly suitable for important corporate applications. They offer a high degree of data
security and availability through highly-developed hardware and software components. Their structure (one to eight
Intel processors of the XEON family) and their scalability enable them to be employed for a large number of
customer applications, e.g. for medium-sized or large databases, for ERP systems and for subapplications which
interwork with a BS2000 application on the Server Unit.
In comparison to guest systems on XenVMs in an SU x86, further operating systems can be operated on the
Application Unit, and the selection of configured components is greater. The operating systems and the customer
applications on the Application Unit run independently of the Server Unit.
Various operating systems and hypervisor systems (for virtualization) can be used for Application Units, e.g:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and 8
VMware vSphere® ESXi 6.5 and 6.7
Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and 2019
Microsoft Windows Hyper-V Server 2016 and 2019
Oracle LINUX 7.x
Oracle VM Server 3.4
The list of currently supported operating systems and hypervisor systems can be found in the Release Notice for
M2000 available on the manual server (
hypervisor systems depends on the series and model of the application unit. For further details or if you want to use
other operating systems or virtualization techniques, please contact the Customer Support.
It is the responsibility of the customer to configure the Application Units, and also to installand operate his/her own
software on the Application Units, see the "Operation and Administration" manual [ ].
Application Units are integrated into the service concept of the SE server, e.g. into remote service via the MU and
into administration with the SE Manager. The following functions are offered for Application Units in the SE Manager:
Status display of the Application Unit
Display and configuration of the links to the web interfaces of the applications on the Application Unit
Operation of the Application Unit and the AU-VMs
Remote powering on of the Application Units using the iRMC
Integration into AIS Connect (remote service)
Storage Management functions via the add-on pack StorMan
Detailed information on this subject is provided in the "Operation and Administration" manual [ ].
An Application Unit occupies 1 to 10 height units (HUs) in the rack, depending on the model. Up to 32 Application
Units can be installed and operated in the rack or extension rack.
