1.1 Ordering
OSD/XC V2.2A can be ordered from your local distributors.
This software product is subject to the general terms and conditions of the software product use and service agreement and is provided to you against regular or one-time payment.
1.2 Requirement
The X2000 Carrier System V3.0A07 is a basic requirement for OSD/XC
V2.2A
1.3 Delivery
The products of the OSD Extended Configuration (XC products) are
supplied on CD-ROM in SOLIS/IMON format.
These are as follows:
- SETUP OSD/XC (executable BS2000-EXEC as disk image)
- OSDXC(1-3) (XC products in SOLIS/IMON format)
- UPDATE OSD/XC (corrections for the XC products)
- ADDON (separately ordered user software)
When supplied with new SX hardware, the BS2000/OSD-BC V6.0B operating system base of OSD/XC V2.2A is delivered in the form of a pubset with IPL capability that is preinstalled on an internal hard
disk of the SX server. This installation serves as a standby system.
The productive customer system is also preinstalled at the works on
SX100 series servers.
On SX130, SX140 and SX150 series servers, the complete OSD Extended
Configuration of the software configuration should be set up for
productive customer operation on external RAID disk systems that
are connected to the SX server via fibre channel or ESCON channels.
First-Installation is made by copying the standby system with the
BS2000 "COPYPUB" procedure that is stored in the PLAM library
"SYSPRC.MAKEPUB.150".
The X2000 Carrier System V3.0 with Solaris V8 as its operating system base serves as the hardware abstraction layer for OSD/XC V2.2A.
X2000 is not part of OSD/XC V2.2A, it is delivered with the SX
server.

The delivery of OSD/XC V2.2A contains a checklist for changing from
OSD/XC V1.* to OSD/XC V2.2A.
X2000 V3.0 ordering information for customers with SX servers:
X2000 V3.0 has been available since September 2004 for upgrades.
Automatic delivery will commence in 2006 to SX server customers
with hardware maintenance contracts, as part of the basic software
update. Installation of the new X2000 version must be requested
from servicing.
You will find further information on X2000 in the manual "SX Series
Business Server, Operating and Administration", in the README file
for X2000 and the X2000 V3.0 Release Notice, both on the X2000 CD.
