1.4 Changes since the last edition of the manual
This manual describes the functionality of the SE Manager with the use of the basic
software M2000/X2000/HNC V6.2A.
Information on the hardware lifecycle of the FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series
With the hardware lifecycle of the SE series, the hardware basis for the Server Unit x86, the
Management Unit and the HNC has been renewed. These new generation versions are
called SU300 M2, MU M2 and HNC M2. They are supported from basic software V6.2A
onwards.
The FUJITSU BS2000 servers of the SE series that are equipped with this hardware
generation are called SE300B, SE500B and SE700B.
Functional extensions
The basic software M2000/X2000/HNC V6.2A provides the following functional extensions:
MU redundancy
●
An SE server may contain two MUs, which are equally ranking in management and
operation:
Actions can be executed from each MU.
The add-ons on both MUs are integrated into the SE Manager as links and can
therefore be called from each MU.
If the SE Manager is called via DNS, the session is global for all MUs. You can switch
from one MU to another without having to log in again. An add-on can be called without
having to log in again even if it is installed on the other MU.
Support of clusters
●
If an SE server configuration consists of two SE servers, the SE servers are managed
together in a shared Management Cluster.
Two SUs of the same type (SU /390 or SU x86) can be combined into one SU cluster.
SU clusters enable the Live Migration (LM) function for migrating BS2000 systems from
one SU to another.
Support of LDAP accounts
●
LDAP accounts can be used for all user roles. The SE Manager enables the LDAP
configuration, which is the prerequisite to use LDAP accounts.
Audit logging
●
The administrator is able to track changes to objects or to the configuration of the SE
server, including the user, time and action involved. The system logs all actions
performed in the SE Manager or via the CLI.
