With the completely newly developed FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series, FUJITSU now
offers a server infrastructure which consists of three server lines. Under the umbrella of this
SE infrastructure, multiple application scenarios are possible in various combinations for
both mainframe applications and applications of the open world. This new platform stands
out on account of the unrivaled performance scalability (scale-up and scale-out), and
ensures that users can manage their application workloads securely, quickly and efficiently
across technological boundaries with maximum availability.
One major aim in developing the SE series was to provide a uniform management strategy
which offers customers significant added value through maximum integration, and
guarantees extremely cost-effective operation of their IT.
The new SE server line succeeds the tried and tested S and SQ server lines, integrating
the advantages of both lines in an optimal manner. The heart of the SE series is formed by
the /390-based Server Units, the x86-based Server Units, the Net Unit, and the
Management Unit (MU). All components are integrated into a standard 19" rack and are
supplied to customers ready to use. With its newly developed processors and appreciably
higher system performance, the new generation of the SE series offers enhanced
configuration options, maximum availability and, not least of all, significantly reduced power
consumption.
Depending on requirements, the SE server contains all the system components needed for
operation as an overall application:
–Server Unit /390 for BS2000 guest systems
–Server Unit x86 with BS2000, Linux or Windows guest systems
–Application Units x86 for operating Native or hypervisor systems (e.g. Linux, Windows,
VMware, OVM, etc.)
–Shareable tape and disk periphery
–A high-speed, server-internal infrastructure to connect the components with each other
and with the customer's IP and FC networks.

Introduction
The SE server offers the following advantages:
–Cross-system administration with state-of-the-art, browser-based GUI (SE Manager) as
a single point of operation
–Joint system monitoring of all components
–Uniform redundancy strategy
–Joint service process
–All options for consolidation through virtualization
–SE components and infrastructure are
–
SE servers consequently enable flexible and application-specific implementation which
fulfills high SLAs through the use of high-end components and an end-to-end redundancy
concept, and nevertheless permits cost-effective operation of the overall system with few
resources thanks to its uniformity.
Intel x86-based server systems with their VMware, Linux or Windows system platforms also
profit from the concepts for stable system operation tested on the mainframe:
–Selection of high-quality server components
–Redundant hardware components
–Prepared operating concepts which also include high availability
–Comprehensive tests before release
–Comprehensive service concept.
The management interface which is uniform for all SE servers, the SE Manager, permits a
view of all the system components involved and, from this higher-level perspective, enables
the resources to be optimized through efficient distribution of the application to the systems
which are currently utilized least.
SE servers consequently permit particularly stable system operation which includes not
only the mainframe platforms which have to date been known to be particularly failsafe, but
also other Server Units and the infrastructure and peripherals employed by the SE server.
This can be achieved with fewer resources for administration and system operation than for
separate operation of different IT systems.

Architecture of the SE servers and networksNetworks
2.3Networks
The Net Unit implements the connection of the units to the networks of the SE server and
to customer networks. In addition, private networks are available for internal communication
in the SE server.
The following logical networks are supported:
–Data Network Public
–Data Network Public (DANPU): when required, up to 8 additive networks
DANPU<n> (where <n>= 01..08) can be configured for connecting applications to
the public customer network.
–Data Network Private
–Data Network Private (DANPR): when required, up to 99 networks DANPR<n>
(where <n>= 01..99) can be configured for internal private customer networks for
SE servers.
–Public management networks
–Management Administration Network Public (MANPU) for administrative access to
the MU, BS2000 systems and AUs
–Management Optional Network Public (MONPU): the additive administration
network can be configured when required (e.g. when AIS Connect is not to be
operated via MANPU but over a separate network).
–Management Network Private
–Management Control Network Local (MCNLO) for the local SE server
communication
–Management Control Network Private (MCNPR) for SE server communication
–Management Optional Network Private (MONPR): when required, up to 8 additive
networks MONPR<n> (where <n>= 01..08) can be configured for SE server
communication.
–Management SVP Network Private (MSNPR) enables SVP communication to the
SU /390 on SE700/SE500

NetworksArchitecture of the SE servers and networks
Bild 2: Block diagram of the Net Unit
The networks are protected, i.e. the use of different networks means that components of
one network cannot influence the components of another network.
The services for the various networks DANPU<xx>, MANPU, MONPU, DANPR<xx> and
MONPR<xx> can be further restricted at Net Unit level by means of the ACL (Access
Control List).
The base operating system of the HNC and SU x86 can only be reached over the internal
networks and are thus protected from the customer networks.
In addition to the connections of the units to the switches of the Net Unit (for use by the
guest systems), direct cabling from the units to the customer network can also be used.

Subsequently the terminal window remains open irrespective of the SE Manager's session.
i Note that for further entries you may first need to click in the window to activate it.
The terminal window and its embedding in the SE Manager have the following properties,
among others:
●No further login is required when the terminal window is called.
●The size of the window can be changed flexibly.
●A virtual keyboard (matching the functionality):
The virtual keyboard enables all required characters and function keys to be entered
irrespective of the real keyboard's layout.
●Copy & paste functions:
–Copy/paste with the context menu in the terminal window
–Cross-window copy/paste (terminal window ↔ Windows) under Windows
→Windows:
Copying with COPY (context menu) or CTRL+C in the terminal window.
Pasting with Paste (context menu) or CTRL+V in Windows.
→Terminal window:
Copying with Copy (context menu) or CTRL+C in Windows.
Pasting with PA S T E (context menu) in the terminal window or via the menu bar of
Firefox (no CTRL+V is possible in the terminal window!)
●In the event of a loss of connection, the Connect button appears in the middle of the
terminal window. When you click this button, the terminal window session is continued
and you can once again make entries. A prerequisite for this is that the SE Manager
session in which the terminal window was opened is still active.
I If you want more than one terminal window to remain open in parallel (e.g. with
BS2000 console windows), this must also be supported on the client side by the
number of possible connections to a server. You must configure your browser
appropriately to permit this (see "SE Manager interface" in the “Operation and
Administration” manual [5]).

●Systems main menu:
–when creating a BS2000 VM
–when creating a XenVM
–when creating a virtual machine on an Application Unit
●IP networks main menu:
when creating a new network
In the tree structure an operator with configured individual rights sees only the BS2000 VMs
which are permitted for him/her. A XenVM administrator sees only the functions for
managing the XenVMs.
The BS2000 administrator and AU administrator roles are supported in M2000 V6.1 and
higher. A BS2000 administrator sees the functions which are needed to operate BS2000
systems in the tree structure and also has the BS2000-related administrator authorizations.
An AU administrator sees the functions which are needed to operate the systems on AUs
in the tree structure and also has the AU-related administrator authorizations.
Overviews of the role-specific tasks and functions are provided in the “Operation and
Administration” manual [5] and in the online help.

Messages on the BS2000 consolePower-on, starting up BS2000, shutdown
3.9Messages on the BS2000 console
The base system M2000 or X2000 issues messages on the BS2000 console. On an SU
/390 these messages are issued by the M2000 of the MU, and on an SU x86 by the X2000
of the SU. With the exception of the messages for write operations to CDROM/DVD, these
messages are not issued via the BS2000 system component MIP (Message Improvement
Processing) and are therefore not stored in a BS2000 message file.
Specifically, M2000/X2000 issues messages of the following message classes on the
BS2000 console:
Message
class
KVP Messages of the console distribution program (KVP)
SVR Messages of the SVP emulation (to SU x86 only)
IOD Messages of the I/O handler for bus devices (to SU x86 only)
HAL Messages of the Hardware Abstraction Layer (to SU x86 only)
SNX Messages for write operations to CDROM/DVD CDROM/DVD (SNXCDxx) or
In BS2000 OSD/BC V10.0 and higher, you can inquire response and any meaning texts for
messages of M2000/X2000 using the HTML application "System messages" (online at
http://manuals.ts.fujitsu.com or on the "BS2000 SoftBooks" DVD).
Meaning
messages relating to a fault in a peripheral component which cannot be reported via
an I/O to BS2000.
i In BS2000 you can only inquire the message text, meaning and response text for a
message code with the HELP-MSG-INFORMATION command only if the message
is stored in a BS2000 message file.

4Setting the system time or configuring the NTP
The Management Units are available as NTP servers for all units of the server via the
internal LAN. SU x86 and HNC are preconfigured with respect to NTP; AU configuration
must be performed as required by the administrator responsible.
To ensure high time accuracy, you can also configure automatic time leveling with a socalled NTP server, e.g. one which supplies a time which is as accurate as a radio clock,
using NTP (Network Time Protocol).
Effect on the time setting of the systems on the SE server
The time settings of the other systems are synchronized with the system time of the
Management Unit. The Management Unit is the basic timer.
When changes are made to the time management which affect the Server Unit, bear in
mind that the time settings in BS2000 systems and of XenVMs that are started later are also
affected. Here you should in particular avoid large leaps in time which are caused by setting
the time manually.
Details on BS2000 are provided in the "Synchronization of the system time" section in the
"BS2000 OSD/BC System Administration" manual.
U41857-J-Z125-1-76 43
Setting the system time or configuring the NTP
ÊSelect Hardware → Server (SE<model>) →<unit>(MU)→Management, System time tab:
The System time tab displays the NTP servers which are entered for automatic time
synchronization and the local time of the MU.
Adding or removing an NTP server
ÊTo add an NTP server, click Add NTP server in the Time synchronization with NTP server
group, and after making the necessary entries confirm the action.
ÊTo remove an NTP server from the NTP configuration, click the Remove icon by the
required NTP server in the Time synchronization with NTP server group and confirm the
action.
i In the case of an SE server with redundant MU, the MU with the index 1 should by
default be entered as an NTP server on the MU with the index2 (for details see the
“Operation and Administration” manual [5].
Changing the local time
You can only change the local time if no NTP server is active.
i Changes to the time can also have an effect on productive operation. See also
section „Effect on the time setting of the systems on the SE server“ auf Seite 43".
ÊIn the Local time group click the Change icon, and after making the necessary entries
confirm the action.

5Application Units
As a rule an operating system of another vendor (Windows, Linux or Unix systems) runs on
an Application Unit. The scope of the setting and display options thus depends on the
operating system concerned. On an AU, an operating system can also be used in Native
mode on the AU, on a guest system which was configured under HyperV Windows Server
on the AU, or on a VM which was configured under VMware vSphere on the AU.
Application Units are displayed in the tree structure as <unit name>(AU<model>).
i In M2000 V6.1 and higher, AUs are also supported on the basis of
PRIMEQUEST. When the AU is supported as an appliance delivery on the basis
of Oracle VM Server from FUJITSU, it is displayed as a Database Unit with the
short name DBU87. Otherwise the short name is displayed.
In the case of an AU87 or DBU87, systems run on the individual partitions of the
AU. You operate a partition via the Management Board. In the Operation tab,
you open the web interface of the Management Board (instead of the iRMC) in
the Operation group for this purpose.
5.1Powering the Application Unit on and off via the iRMC
You operate a Native system via the Operation tab.
ÊIn the tree structure select Systems→<unit name>(AU<model>), Operation tab.

Application UnitsEmbedding an application or link in the SE Manager
i In M2000 V6.1 and higher, AUs are also supported on the basis of
PRIMEQUEST. AU87 or DBU87 is displayed as the short name.
In the case of an AU87 or DBU87, you operate the individual partitions of the
AU via a Management Board. In the Operation tab, you open the web interface
of the Management Board (instead of the iRMC) in the Operation group for this
purpose.
For an AU87 or DBU87, the various partitions are powered on/off (not the entire
Unit).
5.2Embedding an application or link in the SE Manager
With M2000 V6.0 you can embed independent links to any internet site in the SE Manager.
This enables you to switch directly to a web application or internet site from the SE
Manager. Each link opens in a separate tab or window of the browser. In M2000 V6.0, such
links are still called "user-defined management applications."
In M2000 V6.1 and higher, the functionality for connecting applications extends to AUs. The
independent links are then called "user-defined links" and are managed in the User-defined links group. An application which can be integrated into the SE Manager infrastructure, such
as the OVM Manager, is then called a "user-defined management application" and is
managed in the User-defined management applications group. Each application opens in a
separate tab or window in the browser.
The Administration tab displays the list of the user-defined management applications
and the list of the user-defined links which are embedded in in the SE Manager.
ÊThe Change and Remove icons enable you to change the properties of user-defined
applications or links or to remove the link from the SE Manager.
ÊClick Link user-defined management applications to embed another application in the SE
Manager.
ÊClick Embed user-defined link to embed another link in an internet site in the SE Manager.
