2 Software extensions
Only the main extensions and enhancements over the previous ver-
sion BS2000/OSD-BC V5.0 are described in the following sections.
2.1 Adaptations to CFCS 4.3
The progress reporting in CFCS 4.3 for different requirements has
been implemented in BS2000/OSD V6.0.
2.2 Enhancement of multiprocessor performance via
AS/RM lock breakup
A rise in the multiprocessor degree also increases the probabil-
ity of lock conflicts, which in turn reduces performance.
The memory management has been modified internally to replace the
AS/RM lock with several separate locks and CPU-specific memory
domains have been introduced for the RM lock.
Each memory domain behaves in the same way as the complete memory
of a system and is protected with a lock of its own.
This does not result in any changes to the external interfaces.
2.3 Data spaces
As of this version, data spaces are also supported for SX servers
to further decrease the load on the system address space. Among
others, data spaces are used by memory management, DAB and for
external storage of the F5 label.
*1 OSD/XC 2.0 and X2000 3.0A are required for supporting ESA data
*1 spaces in customer applications on SX servers.
*1 Data spaces are implemented for TU applications in CISCFW 4.4,
*1 that is supplied with X2000 3.0.
2.4 Performance enhancement of CCOPY in conjunction
with HSMS V7.0A and ARCHIVE V7.0B
The initialization phase in CCOPY V5.0 has been considerably re-
duced for backups using TimeFinder/BCV, to allow the applications
concerned to reopen their files faster. This minimizes the times
in which applications cannot work.
*2 Further performance improvements are achieved by optimizing
*2 catalog access; the File List is eliminated and the Wildcard
*2 Syntax resolution does not occur until the ARCHIVE.
*2 When Shared Pubsets are used, backups are always carried
*2 out locally, independent of the master-slave role.
Page 10
2.5 Functional extensions for SM pubsets
The new SMPGEN MODIFY-SYSTEM-MANAGED-PUBSET statement can be used
to extend existing system managed pubsets by single feature pub-
sets, where each single feature pubset is turned into a volume
set of the system managed pubset.
The user data and the management and protection information of
the new single feature pubsets and the existing system managed
pubsets remain unchanged.
Before converting a single feature pubset into a system
Note:
managed pubset, you should make a physical backup with FDDRL and
a logical backup with HSMS, since the single feature pubset can
be destroyed if an error abort occurs.
PVSREN V2.0 offers the new functionality of creating independent
pubsets from pubset mirrors within a system. Either single fea-
ture pubsets or system managed pubsets can be used as the source
for this.
With system managed pubsets, the renaming rules for the volume
sets are stored in a parameter file. Even pubset mirrors that
have been separated off and whose VSNs satisfy the "colon syntax"
can be converted into independent pubsets.
2.6 Number of MRSCAT entries > 1024
The previous limit of maximum 1024 MRSCAT entries has been re-
moved. A maximum of 4096 MRSCAT entries are now possible in
BS2000/OSD-BC V6.0.
2.7 Faster failure detection in MSCF
If the system is being monitored with the Live Monitor (component
of HIPLEX AF V3.2), the failure of a participant in the MSCF net-
work is now detected faster and more reliably. After the failure
has been surely detected by the live monitor, failure processing
in MSCF can be started automatically after a minimal wait time.
Fast failure detection and processing is possible in an XCS and
SPVS network with any number of participants and in a CCS net-
work.
A prerequisite for this is that HIPLEX AF is installed on all
participants in the MSCF network as well as on the subsidiary
systems (e.g. the VM2000 monitor systems) and the Live Monitor is
active.
The products HIPLEX-MSCF V4.0 und HIPLEX AF V3.2 are required for
this function. In addition to the functions of the Live Monitor,
HIPLEX AF V3.2 also offers further innovations such as, e.g.
fully automatic warm standby high availability solutions and
AutoSwap.
No dependencies exist between the MSCF configuration and the
HIPLEX AF configuration for fast failure detection.
Please consult the SYSFGM.MSCF.150.E and SYSFGM.HIPLEX-AF.032.E
Release Notices for detailed information on the functional scope.
Page 11
2.8 Reorganizing open files
Previously, it was only possible to reorganize closed files in
pubsets or volumes with SPACEOPT.
As of SPACEOPT V3.0, open files can also be included when reor-
ganizing pubsets and reducing file extents.
Please consult the Release Notice SYSFGM.SPACEOPT.030.E for the
complete scope of the innovations.
2.9 Tape blocks > 32 KB
Block sizes ranging from 32 KB to 256 KB are supported for tape
I/O with the BTAM access method for record formats V and U, to
allow high-performance backups to be made.
The new block size is specified at the TPR-FCB program interface.
The function is only available in TPR and for users with the TSOS
*1 or HSMS-ADMINISTRATION privilege.
Large tape blocks are supported by the products ARCHIVE V7.0B,
FDDRL V15.0 and PERCON V2.8
2.10 File encryption
Data encryption fulfills the requirements for the security of
critical data, such as protection against physical reading from
the disk, protection against unauthorized reading, also with TSOS
special rights, protection against unauthorized usage of backup
tapes or monitoring the data contents with file transfer connec-
tions.
The files are stored on the disk in encrypted form and decrypted
in blocks for an authorized access in the system/server. The
files are taken over encrypted into backups or during file trans-
fers.
Two special commands have been introduced for encrypting and de-
crypting a file. An eight character crypto password is defined
for each file that is to be encrypted/decrypted. The key for en-
cryption/decryption is then derived from this during access.
ENCRYPT-FILE: converts a normal file into an encrypted file
DECRYPT-FILE: converts an encrypted file into a normal file
Working with encrypted files and the crypto password is similar
to working with ID-protected files and the file password. The
crypto password is registered as an access right with the command
ADD-CRYPTO-PASSWORD. This registration is valid for the current
task. The access right can be removed again with the command
REMOVE-CRYPTO-PASSWORD.
*1 The openCrypt-Serv 1.2 subsystem with a corresponding Crypto Box
*1 is required for file encryption on S servers.
*1 openCRYPT-SOFT 1.2 in conjunction with X2000 as of V3.0A are
*1 required for encryption on the SX100-C and SX150 servers.
*1 An additional crypto CPU is required on SX150, whereas the
*1 encryption processes run on the X2000 CPU on SX100-C
Page 12
The files are encrypted in pages with the symmetrical DES or AES
encryption method. The encryption method can be selected via the
FILECRYPT system parameter and can be changed dynamically. AES is
used by default.
The FREFCRYP system parameter can be used to limit the number of
crypto passwords by only allowing new crypto passwords to be as-
signed for files of a specific ID. Only the crypto passwords of
reference files from this specific ID can be selected for files
on other IDs.
Restrictions: Files on private disks, EAM files, tape files,
job variables and
*1 files on the home pubset under the TSOS ID
*1 cannot be encrypted.
Recommendations: - Connection of two Crypto Boxes, each with two
paths (failure-safety)
- Read buffering with DAB
- Only encryption of selected files, not
complete pubsets.
Important notes:
1. If the crypto password is lost, there is no way of recon-
structing the file via decryption, even with measures employed by the privileged system administrator or by FSC. In
other words, organizational precautions must be taken for
such a case, e.g. storing the crypto password in a safe
place (key escrowing).
2. In HIPLEX configurations it must be ensured that the
standby system of an application that is to be moved and
has encrypted files, has the necessary resources available,
e.g. an S server with a Crypto Box.
3. In Symmetrix disaster protection configurations with SRDF
mirroring, the encrypted files are also available on the
mirrors, i.e. the encryption is transparent for the known
switch-over scenarios.
2.11 Increasing the size of volumes (disk resizing)
In SPACEOPT V3.0, a new function is provided for adapting the
size of public disks.
The command ADAPT-PUBSET-SPACE can be used in RAID disk subsystems to adapt the size of BS2000 disks to the actual size of the
logical units (LUN) with which they are implemented. Such an adaptation may, for example, be necessary after data migration with
DRV V3.0 from an ECKD disk to a D3435-FBA disk.
With this migration, the source disk and the destination disk
must be the same size. If the LUN is larger than the source disk,
unusable space is left at the end of the disk that can be made
available with the new function.
Disk size increasing can only be used for public disks with D3435
format on Symmetrix and FibreCat.
Please consult the Release Notice SYSFGM.SPACEOPT.030.E for detailed information on the functional scope.

2.12 Four character mnemonic name for tape devices
A four character hexadecimal device mnemonic (1000 – FFFF) is now
also allowed for tape devices. A two character alphanumeric name
is still allowed as previously for all device types. This makes
more than 1300 tape devices addressable.
As of SINIX-2000-Z V8.1A K818.4, the SKP-X based on the
Note:
PRIMERGY 470 hardware supports the CD drive as a tape device for
reading CDs. Four character device mnemonics are not permitted
for the CD drive on SKP-X.
2.13 New functions on SX 150 business servers
*1 Dynamic reconfiguration
*1 The SX150 supports dynamic system board reconfiguration for both
*1 Solaris and BS2000 partitions, whereby both BS2000 and VM2000 can
*1 be used in the BS2000 partition. The configuration of the SX150
*1 standard models may have to be extended, depending on the planned
*1 usage scenario for dynamic reconfiguration.
*1 Please consult your sales representative.
*1 CAPACITY on DEMAND (CoD)
*1 The capacity on demand function is available to provide an
*1 increase in performance that is free of interruption and limited
*1 in time, as on S140/S145/S155/S170/S180/S190 business servers.
*1 In addition to the working processors that are enabled as
*1 standard, one or more CoD processors can be used (with
*1 appropriate contractual agreement). They are switched in or
*1 out as required during operation.
*1 Big Pages
*1
*1 Pages with a size of 4 MB, so-called big pages, are used for JIT
*1 memory and class 1 memory on the SX150 business server to save
*1 TLB entries.
*3 The Release Notice SYSFGM.BS2XC.021.E provides information on
*1 further innovations.
2.14 New functions in BS2000/OSD V6.0B
2.14.1 Catalog administration
2.14.1.1 “Extra Large” catalog format
*2 In a Pubset catalog, the file and job variable allocations
*2 are deposited in catalog entries. Large Object Pubset
*2 catalogs previously comprised a maximum of 16184 4K blocks,
*2 conventional Pubset catalogs 8192 4K blocks.
*2 The previous catalog size allows ca. 120000 – 160000 or
*2 60000 – 80000 files/JVs to be created. If this space is used
*2 up, no new IDs may be created on the Pubset; for already
*2 existing users, the extension or recreation of files/JVs
*2 may fail.
