1 Introduction
With the FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series (SE servers), FUJITSU offers a server infrastructure which consists of
two server lines.
Depending on requirements, an SE server contains all the system components needed for operation as an overall
application:
/390-based BS2000 Server Unit
x86-based Server Units with BS2000 guest systems, SU300 also with Linux or Windows guest systems as an
option
x86-based Application Units for operation under e.g. Linux, Windows or VMware
Shareable tape and disk periphery
A high-speed, server-internal infrastructure to connect the components with each other and with the customer
LAN or SAN.
Information on using the Quick Guide
This Quick Guide is intended for people who operate an SE server and contains short instructions for the most
important scenarios when placing the SE server in service. The following requirements should be met:
Customer Support provides the customer with the SE server.
The desired BS2000 operating mode is set on each Server Unit.
A BS2000 system is configured and fully operational.
All necessary BS2000 devices are configured.
A detailed description of the SE Manager's functionality with the usage of the base software (M2000/X2000/HNC)
V6.3A is included in the “Operation and Administration” manual and in the SE Manager's online help.
Please note the following:
The base system of the MU (M2000) as well as the iRMC of the MU have a predefined administrator
account at the time the SE server is delivered. In both cases an initial password is preset, which admin
you can ask for at the service.
Change the password immediately after you have logged in for the first time.
You may also change the validity time and the other password attributes.
You can access the password management as follows:
in SE Manager: Authorizations -> Users -> Password management
on the iRMC S4: User management -> iRMC S4 users
on the iRMC S5 (with MU M3): Settings User Management iRMC Local user accounts-> ->

2 Calling the SE Manager
This chapter contains the following topics:
How do I log in on the SE Manager?
How do I log out of the SE Manager?
How do I power on a Management Unit via the local console?
How do I power on a Management Unit via iRMC?

7
2.1 How do I log in on the SE Manager?
Requirement
A Management Unit is powered on. It might be necessary to power on a Management Unit (MU) first, to make
the access to the SE Manager possible (see or"How do I power on a Management Unit via the local console?"
)."How do I power on a Management Unit via iRMC?"
If IP-based access rights are configured for accessing the SE server, the IP address of the PC must have a
permission.
Procedure
>Enter the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) or IP address of the active MU into the address bar of the
browser and press enter:
The connection is established and the login window opens:
>Enter your account and the respective password in the login window.
If the browser now displays a warning about the security certificate, click . Continue to this website
The procedure for confirming or importing a certificate is described in more detail in the
"Administration and Operation" user guide in section "Confirming/importing a certificate in the web
browser".
i
The login window is also displayed to permit you to log in again if you have logged out or the
session was terminated owing to inactivity.
i
Change the initial password for the account admin immediately after the first login (see also
information in chapter "Introduction" ).
i

>Click .
Log in
The tab opens as the welcome page. It provides a quick overview of the systems, Units or Units Dashboard
/Partitions, IP networks, FC networks, Storage, Cluster, Users, and Events of the SE server.

2.2 How do I log out of the SE Manager?
Logging out explicitly
>
In the header area of the SE Manager main window click to terminate the session:
Log out
You will then be forwarded to the login window (for logging in again).
Logging out because of a session timeout
If you do not log out explicitly, the session terminates if there is no activity for 20 minutes, i.e. if the SE Manager
registers no activity in this time. The default session timeout is set to 20 minutes and can be changed individually:
>In the header area of the SE Manager's main window click on the arrow next to the login name and then, in
the drop down list, click to display the dialog for changing the session timeout: Individual settings
When you want to start an activity in the SE Manager after a session has timed out, first the login window
appears, and you must log in again. Only after you have done this will the activity be executed.
When you close the browser window without logging out, then your session remains valid until session
timeout. This means that when calling the MU start address again, you will not be prompted to login.
Instead, the last opened page of the SE Manager is displayed again.

over to the MU using the console switch menu (press the HOT KEY to call it).
i
When the SE server is supplied, an initial password is set for standard account , which can be admin
requested at the service. If it has already been changed (or you are using a different account), you must
enter the current password (see also ).section "How do I log in on the SE Manager?"

3 Powering on, starting up BS2000, powering off
The description is divided into the following sections:
How do I power on Server Units and other units via the SE Manager?
How can I boot the BS2000 on an SU /390?
How can I boot the BS2000 on an SU x86?
How can I boot the BS2000 via the SE Manager? (Quick Guide, #11a)
How do I open or close a BS2000 dialog?
How do I open a BS2000 console?
How can I shut down the BS2000 via the BS2000 console?

3.1 How do I power on Server Units and other units via the SE Manager?
Powering on the Server Unit
Requirement
Login into the SE Manager as administrator, BS2000 administrator or a privileged operator.
The unit is powered off (power status OFF).
In case of an SU /390, an existing connection to the hardware interface is required.
Procedure
>In the table, click the icon for the desired Server Unit (in this example an SU300) and confirm
Units Power On
this action in the following dialog with : Execute
The powered-off Server Unit is powered on. As soon as the for the Server Unit is and the monitor Power status ON
or Native BS2000 system have reached the status , you can boot the BS2000. INIT_ONLY
Powering on additional units (redundant MU, HNC)
For BS2000 operation on an SU /390 the following units should also be powered on:
In the case of MU redundancy the second MU should also be powered on. Only in this way will it remain possible
to continue operating the SVP of the SU /390 if the first MU crashes. The SE Manager on the second MU will
also remain available.
To enable the BS2000 systems to communicate over the IP network and ensure access to Net-Storage is
possible, the HNC must be powered on. Redundant existing HNCs should also be powered on.
After a Server Unit has been powered on, depending on the operating mode set, the Native BS2000
system or the monitor system are started up if an automatic startup (auto IPL) has been configured for
this purpose.
