1 Introduction
The FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series unites the existing server lines S servers and SQ
servers in the server line SE servers.
Depending on requirements, the 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, Linux or Windows guest systems
– x86-based Application Units for operation under 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.
iPlease note the following:
The base system of the MU (M2000) as well as the iRMC of the MU have a pre-
defined administrator account admin at the time the SE server is delivered. In both
cases an initial password is preset, which 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 →User →Password management
– on the iRMC: User management →iRMC S4 users

Introduction

2 Calling the SE Manager
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 “How do I power
on a Management Unit via a server rack (local console)?” on page 9 or “How do I power
on a Management Unit via iRMC?” on page 10).
If IP-based access rights are configured for accessing the SE server, the IP address of
the PC must have a permission.
Procedure
ÊEnter the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) or IP address of the active MU into the
address bar of the browser and press enter:
IIf the browser now displays a note about the security certificate, click on the
actions that allow loading the requested page.
Recommendation: Import the certificate into the browser so that these notes
are not shown repeatedly.

ÊIn the header area of the SE Manager main window click Log out to terminate the
session:
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:
ÊIn 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 Individual settings to display the dialog for
changing the session timeout:
IWhen 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.

3.1 How do I power on Server Units and additional Units via the
SE Manager?
Powering on the Server Unit
Requirement
Logging into the SE Manager as administrator, B2000 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.

The powered-off Server Unit is powered on. As soon as the Power status for the Server Unit
is On and the monitor or Native BS2000 system have reached the status INIT_ONLY, you
can boot the BS2000.
iAfter a Server Unit has been powered on, depending on the operating mode set,
the Native BS2000 system or the VMs are started up if an automatic startup (auto
IPL) has been configured for this purpose.
Powering on additional Units (redundant MU, HNC)
For BS2000 operation on an SU /390m 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.
