1 Preface

With the business servers in the SX series (abbreviated to: SX servers), Fujitsu Siemens
Computers is pursuing its strategy of opening up the BS2000/OSD operating system by
making available a modern hardware solution which is based on SPARC64
technology
™
and represents a future-safe investment for the customer.
The OSD Extended Configuration (OSD/XC) software package includes a ported variant of
the BS2000/OSD basic configuration which offers high performance when run on the
SX servers' SPARC64 architecture. Further software packages included in the OSD/XC
package extend the functionality available in the basic configuration. Existing BS2000/OSD
applications in the /390 world offer full object compatibility, i.e. they require no modifications,
when run on the SPARC64 architecture of the SX servers.
The SX server hardware is based on the PRIMEPOWER server hardware. The business
servers in the SX series can be divided into two classes: on the one hand the partitionable
models, with facilities for using several separate runtime environments for BS2000/OSD
and Solaris
applications, and on the other hand the entry-level models without partitioning
™
which offer a cost-effective way of entering the SX server series.
The hardware of the partitionable models is designed so that existing hardware compo-
nents (CPU, main memory, controllers, disks, etc.) can be distributed across multiple parti-
tions. This means that different, independent operating systems together with their available
applications can be run on separate partitions. These operating systems and applications
do not affect each other when they are running.
With their high availability and scalability, and the capacity for the parallel operation of
several independent application environments, the partitionable SX server models provide
an optimum basis for enterprise and business applications and for server and storage
consolidation. At the same time they also open up the SX series to the varied application
environment of the Solaris
operating system.
™
The SX100 series models are the entry-level models of the SX series. These non-partitio-
nable models are designed exclusively for use with BS2000/OSD. The SX series entry-level
models with their high availability and favourable total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) form an
optimum basis for the BS2000/OSD entry-level both for proven enterprise applications and
for new enterprise and E-business solutions.

This is provided on the one hand by the consoles of the partitions supplied on the system management console (SMC) of RC2000, and on the other by the network access of the SMC via the administration LAN of the server.

  • Page 32: Figure 12: "Create Action" Window

    Preconfiguring terminals Functions of the Solaris-CDE interface 3.3 Preconfiguring terminals The preconfiguration for accessing the individual functions is based on the creation of an “action” in the CDE interface of the Solaris system on the SMC or on the X2000 carrier system.

  • Page 33: Figure 13: Window For Selecting An Icon

    Functions of the Solaris-CDE interface Preconfiguring terminals Three entries are important when creating an action: – The name of the action (subtitle of the icon) – The icon – The command which is triggered when the icon is activated (with a double-click) These three entries must be entered in that order in the fields of the window Create Action.

  • Page 34: Figure 14: Example For A Command In The "Create Action" Window

    Preconfiguring terminals Functions of the Solaris-CDE interface Confirm your selection with OK. After returning to the main window, enter the actual command. Do this in the line Command when Action is Opened (Double-clicked). Example Figure 14: Example for a command in the “Create Action” window In the example for a BS2000 console, the command consists of calling up the terminal emulation dtterm with parameters for the character set, the window title, the color settings for the console and a command which is executed in the generated window.

    Preconfiguring terminals Functions of the Solaris-CDE interface Select a background color with -bg <Name_of_background_color>, e.g. -bg grey65. This is particularly important with the BS2000 console if the terminal type bs2console is not set, since the called BS2000 KVP program outputs the messages in yellow. All colors that can be selected are listed in the file /usr/openwin/lib/X11/rgb.txt.

Hardware and configuration requirements Distribution of the XSBs of each partition to 2 physical system boards. The options are model-dependent (for details please also see table 17 on page 403).

No parallel actions Configuration measures which are performed in parallel to a DR process can prevent the DR process from running successfully. The same applies for Solaris applications which access the resources of an affected XSB in parallel to a DR process.

  • Page 388 As far as the BS2000 addressing modes in the program address space are concerned, the models in the SX series are fully compatible with the S servers. Data spaces are supported on SX servers as of BS2000/OSD V6.0 and X2000 V3.0A05.

  • Page 389: Sx Server System Peripherals

    On a model-specific basis, the SX server for BS2000/OSD also supports an optional channel interface. This means that existing BS2000 channel peripherals can be used in parallel to new Fibre Channel peripherals. The entry-level models in the SX series have no channel interface.
  • Page 390 Hardware features of the SX Series Business Servers Appendix Channel peripherals on BS2000 partitions Channel peripherals are only possible on SX servers which support the optional channel interface. Channel peripherals are connected to the SX server via the optional channel subsystem (Universal Hot Plug System, UHPS).
