Fujitsu BS2000/OSD User manual

U25339-J-Z126-1-7600 1
1 Introduction
The range of BS2000/OSD servers has been extended by the addition of the S130 series.
The spectrum of user facilities of the new models lies between the S110 and H130 server
series. They are powerful systems for scientific and commercial applications.
The S130 Business Server (or cluster) has a modular structure and can easily be upgraded
on site.
The main memory can be expanded by up to 8 Gbytes. Global storage (GSP or SSU) can
be upgraded to a maximum of 32 Gbytes and if desired can have a battery buffer.
The input/output system consists of 1 or 2 input/output processors. Up to 248 channels can
be configured for connecting peripheral devices with channel interfaces. LAN networking is
possible via the 3970-SKP service/console processor, a connection to the TRANSDATA
network world via front-end processors.
The service processor (SVP) and the external 3970-SKP service/console processor
supportcommonoperation,monitoring,diagnosisandmaintenanceofthecomputeraswell
as TELESERVICE.
The models can easily be integrated into a HIPLEX network.
Like all computers in the 7.500 system family, the business server uses the BS2000
operating system. This offers the portability and compatibility of BS2000 programs.
1.1 Objectives and target group
This manual provides you with all the information you require to operate the S130 Business
Server via the service/console processor, and is thus intended for operators and system
managers.
Knowledge of BS2000 system operation and management as well as basic knowledge of
SINIX are required.
Further manuals with information on the operation of BS2000, SINIX and TELESERVICE
are listed under “Related publications” at the end of this manual.

bility". The product bears the EC certificate.
2.3 RFI suppression
WARNING: This is a class A equipment. This equipment may cause interference to
radio and television reception in a residential installation. If it does cause inter-
ference, the user may be requested to take appropriate corrective measures at his
or her own cost.
The devices generate and emit high-frequency energy.
If the devices are installed and used other than as instructed in the manual, failures in the
devices or other electric systems may occur. If failures of this type occur it is the task of the
user to carry out measurements and implement measures to solve the problem. Only the
cables supplied with the system or recommended by SNI may be used.

3 Overview
This chapter provides information on the configuration levels and the configuration of the
S130 Business Server series and the concept of system operation.
Figure 2: S130 Business Server, global storage and battery unit
The S130 Business Server comprises two cabinets together with an additional cabinet for
channel extensions.
Two global storage units can be connected, each of which is located in a separate cabinet.
The battery unit for global storage consists of three cabinets.
3.1 Configuration levels of the S130 Business Server
The S130 Business Server series consists of five models. Upgrading of the individual
models can easily be carried out on site, so that system downtime is not extended due to
hardware installation.
All the S130 models have multiple processing units, I/O processors and channel groups.
Thus a reconfiguration is possible for these models if there is a partial failure.
If a processing unit fails, the other processors take over its tasks during operation (dynamic
reconfiguration).

Overview Concept of system operation
3.2 Concept of system operation
System operation is described in the chapter “Basics of system operation“ of the
“SINIX-2000 V7.0“ [1] manual.
The following section lists the most important hardware and software components for S130
operation.
3.2.1 Hardware
The following hardware and software components are important for the operation of S130:
●Service processor (SVP) in the S130 CPU.
This is responsible for the following tasks in the S130 CPU:
– initialization
– monitoring
– controlling
– hardware diagnosis

Concept of system operation Overview
●The service/console processor (3970-SKP) with the SINIX operating system.
OperationoftheS130systemtakesplaceviaalocalPC:the3970-SKPservice/console
processor.
S130 and 3970-SKP communicate with one another in three ways:
– serial line (V.24)
– type-2 I/O channel (KT2) or type-S I/O channel
– LAN connection
The following components can be operated via the local 3970-SKP screen and remote
secondary consoles:
– the 3970-SKP itself
– the SVP of the S130
– the BS2000 running on the S130
●Consoles can be set up and operated directly for up to 15 VM2000 guest systems.
●Automatic Operator (ATOP).
The ATOP is a device which is connected to the 3970-SKP via a serial line.
It makes the following functions possible:
– automatic switching on and off of the S130
– automatic operation of the BS2000 system
The customer can program the ATOP to specify which operating functions should
be executed for which conditions.
Examples:
– automatic shutdown of the system in the case of fan failure.
– automatic command entry in reaction to certain BS2000 console messages.
●It is possible to connect a radio-controlled clock or Global Time Server (GTS).
●On/off facility (optional) makes it possible to switch the S130 on and off from the
3970-SKP.

Overview Concept of system operation
3.2.2 Software
The following software components play an important role in S130 operation:
●Window interface
The SINIX operating system is run on the 3970-SKP. One component of SINIX is the
window interface based on the X Window system (see the ”SINIX-2000 V7.0” [1]
manual).
A brief introduction to the window system can be found in the chapter entitled
"Brief introduction to the window system" in the "SINIX-2000 V7.0" [1] manual.
Further information can be found in the "SINIX/windows User Environment
V3.0" [3] manual.
The following system components use the window system:
– BS2000 (e.g. CONS0 or EM9750 window, see page 34)
– SVP (e.g. SVPST0 window, see page 34)
– SINIX (e.g. SINIX or EVENT window, see page 34)
The system provides preconfigured windows for operation which are opened automat-
ically when the 3970-SKP is started up.
The number of windows for operating BS2000 and SINIX, the order of the
windows on the screen, their size and some other properties can be changed
using the relevant configuration functions.
Information on this can be found in the chapter entitled "Configuring the
system", in the sections "X screens" and "Virtual screens", in the "SINIX-2000
V7.0" manual.
●Console distribution program KVP (German acronym)
The operation of the BS2000 from the 3970-SKP is controlled by the Console Distri-
bution Program. KVP carries out the following tasks:
– authorization controls
– distribution of the BS2000 tasks to several consoles
– short and long term logging of the console traffic
KVP requires parameters that are stored in the KVP parameter file of the built-in disk of
the3970-SKP.TheKVPparametersare created in SINIX when the system isgenerated
and can be changed with the help of the SINIX configuration.

the system”, in the section “KVP”, in the “SINIX-2000 V7.0” manual.

Concept of system operation Overview
3.2.3 Authorization control
The access to operation of the BS2000, SVP and SINIX system components is protected:
●Access to the BS2000 console
If you try to make an entry in a BS2000 control window after the system has been
started up for the first time, you will be requested to enter a password.
The password is specified when the system is installed and is identical to the password
for the corresponding SINIX user ID (e.g. cons0 for the CONS0 console window). For
further information, see chapter “Operating the BS2000 console” on page 89.
●Access to the BS2000 system administration
If you want to work as a system administrator in BS2000, you must use a type EM9750
window, fill in the welcome screen, and log in by entering a BS2000 user ID (i.a. tsos)
and - if agreed - a BS2000 password for BS2000.
●Access to the SINIX system administration
If you want to carry out system administration tasks under SINIX you must log into a
SINIX window by entering a SINIX user ID (i.a. admin, root or sysadm) and password.
●Access to the EVENT window
Certain functions can be executed using the EVENT window.
If you try to make an entry in this window after the system has been started up for the
first time, you will be requested to enter the password for the SINIX user ID.
●Access to the SVP operation
After you have filled out and sent off the welcome screen in the window for SVP
operation, the system requests you to enter the password. The password is specified at
the installation of the system and is identical to the password for the corresponding
SINIX user ID (e.g. the ID svpst0 for the SVPST0 window).
