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.

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).

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.

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).
