Basic Operating Manual

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:
SU /390 for BS2000 guest systems
Server Unit x86 with BS2000 guest systems, SU300 also with Linux or Windows guest systems as an option
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 or FC network.
The SE server is installed entirely and tested on the vendor’s premises in accordance with customer specifications.
Many hardware components are redundant in design, thus ensuring that even if a fault occurs with these
components, operation can continue with the same performance.
You can easily upgrade the models on site.
Information on the hardware lifecycle of the FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series (Changes
since the last edition of the manual)
With the hardware lifecycle of the SE Series, the hardware basis for the Server Unit x86, the Management Unit and
the HNC has been renewed several times. If the following generations are not identified by their own designations
(e.g. SU300 -> SU300B -> SU310), the generations are identified by a subsequent Mx with x = 1,2,3,…: MU M2,
MU M3, HNC M2, HNC M3 etc. The generation M2 is supported as of SE V6.2A, the generation M3 as of version
6.3A04.
The changes in the manuals are mainly due to these new hardware lifecycle generation models. Any differences to
the previous models regarding structure and operation are described in detail.

1.1 Models, Names, Abbreviations
Due to the frequent use of the names, the following are used in the manuals for the SE servers:abbreviations
SE server for the FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series independent of the model
An SE server contains several components or units, but at least one Server Unit, one Management Unit and one
Net Unit.
Depending on the built-in unit types and models, the following server models are distinguished:
SE700 for FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE700 / SE700B
(with SU700, more than one SU300 and AU optional)
SE710 for FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE710
(with SU710, AUs optional)
SE500 for FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE500
(with SU500, more than one SU300 and AU optional)
SE300 for FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE300 / SE300B
(with SU300, more than one SU300 and AU optional)
SE310 for FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE310
(with SU310, AUs optional)
Server lines
The above server models are combined into two server lines:
SE /390 for FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE700 / SE700B / SE710 / SE500, i.e. for SE servers with an SU /390
SE x86 for FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE300 / SE300B / SE310, i.e. for SE servers with SU x86 only resp.
without an SU /390
SU for a Server Unit independent of the unit type
The SU is a component of the SE server that enables the operation of BS2000 (Native-BS2000 or VM2000).
Depending on the unit type, a distinction is made between SUs:
SU /390 for Server Unit /390 (type of a Server Unit with one or more /390 processors) with the models SU700
in the servers SE700 / SE700B and SU710 in SE710 as well as SU500 in the server SE500
SU x86 for Server Unit x86 (type of a Server Unit with one or more x86 processors) with the models SU300
in the servers SE300 / SE300B and optional in SE500 and SE700 / SE700B as well as SU310 in the server
SE310
MU for the Management Unit
The MU is the component of an SE server which enables the central web-based management of all units of the
SE server.
AU for the Application Unit (with x86-based hardware)
The AU is an optional component of the SE Server, which enables the operation of customer applications under
Linux, Windows, VMware or other hypervisors.
Depending on the hardware base, AUs are differentiated as follows:
AU PY denominates all PRIMERGY-based AUs (e.g. the hardware models AU25 or AU47).
AU PQ denominates all PRIMEQUEST-based AUs (e.g. the hardware models AU87 / DBU87 or AUQ38E).

10
HNC (High-speed Net Connect)
The HNC connects the Server Unit /390 to the LAN and as a net client enables the BS2000 systems on the SU
/390 to access the Net-Storage.
HNC refers to both the Linux-based basic software and the hardware unit itself on which this basic software runs.
NU (Net Unit)
The NU enables the connection of an SE server to the customer network (LAN/SAN). It contains switches and, if
necessary, the HNC.
Unit x86
Component of an SE Server with x86 architecture: Server Unit x86, Management Unit or HNC
BS2000 server
BS2000 server is used as generic term for all SE servers and the former S- and SQ servers. BS2000 servers are
operated with the corresponding BS2000 operating systems.
BS2000
BS2000 is used for the BS2000 OSD/BC operating system in phrases, e.g. in BS2000 system.
SKP (Service Konsol Processor)
The MU implements the SKP functionality required for the operation of an SU /390.
SVP (Service Processor)
Service processor of the SU /390
For a description of the further features of the SE servers, please refer to the .chapter "System overview"

1.3 Objective and target groups of this manual
The Operating Manual for the servers of the SE Series consists of a number of modules and describes the features
and hardware components of the FUJITSU Servers BS2000 of the SE Series. Users should read this manual
carefully in order to obtain optimal performance from the SE server.
Readers require a knowledge of BS2000 system operation and administration as well as basic knowledge of Linux.
In some places knowledge of X2000 is helpful. This can be obtained from the “Operation and Administration”
manual [ ].5
This manual is intended for people who operate an SE server:
As administrator you manage the entire SE server with all its components and the operating systems which run
on it. You need a good knowledge of the BS2000, Linux and Windows operating systems and of the network and
peripherals.
As administrator you can also manage the integration of the optional Application Units on which an open
operating system runs in Native or virtualized mode (e.g. under VMware).
As operator you operate BS2000 on the Server Unit of the SE server. You need a good knowledge of the
BS2000 operating system and also of the connected peripherals.
As XenVM administrator you operate the virtual machines and their devices for Linux and Windows guest
systems on the Server Unit x86 of the SE server. You need a good knowledge of the Linux and Windows
operating systems and also of the connected peripherals.

Important alert messages
Warning
Possible damage to the system if used incorrectly
Be sure to follow the precautions below when installing the equipment. Otherwise, the business server may be
damaged.
Possible damage to the system if used incorrectly
In the factory all the power cables are connected to the power distribution units which are integrated into the rack.
Attach the connection cables of the multiple socket outlets to the in-house installation so that they are easy to
access.
Do not connect any additional consumer loads to the power distribution units - this could cause the nominal load
capacity of the multiple socket outlet or feed cables / fuses to be exceeded! If you want to connect additional
equipment, please contact Customer Support.
Possible data loss if used incorrectly
Before shutting down power, you should ensure that the following events occur; otherwise data may be destroyed.
All applications have finished processing.
No user is using the components.
When a unit of the SE server (MU, SU, HNC or AU) is turned off, the operating status indicator lights up orange.
Check this before shutting down the main power (to UPS, power cable, and power distribution box).
If necessary, back up files before shutting down.
