Fujitsu Siemens Computers SX series Manual de usuario

U41272-J-Z385-3-76 1

1Preface

With the business servers in the SX series (abbreviated to: SX servers), Fujitsu Siemens

Computers is pursuing its strategy of opening up the BS2000/OSD operating system by

making available a modern hardware solution which is based on SPARC64™technology

and represents a future-safe investment for the customer.

The OSD Extended Configuration (OSD/XC) software package includes a ported variant of

the BS2000/OSD basic configuration which offers high performance when run on the

SX servers' SPARC64 architecture. Further software packages included in the OSD/XC

package extend the functionality available in the basic configuration. Existing BS2000/OSD

applications in the /390 world offer full object compatibility, i.e. they require no modifications,

when run on the SPARC64 architecture of the SX servers.

The SX server hardware is based on the PRIMEPOWER server hardware. The business

servers in the SX series can be divided into two classes: on the one hand the partitionable

models, with facilities for using several separate runtime environments for BS2000/OSD

and Solaris™applications, and on the other hand the entry-level models without partitioning

which offer a cost-effective way of entering the SX server series.

The hardware of the partitionable models is designed so that existing hardware compo-

nents (CPU, main memory, controllers, disks, etc.) can be distributed across multiple parti-

tions. This means that different, independent operating systems together with their available

applications can be run on separate partitions. These operating systems and applications

do not affect each other when they are running.

With their high availability and scalability, and the capacity for the parallel operation of

several independent application environments, the partitionable SX server models provide

an optimum basis for enterprise and business applications and for server and storage

consolidation. At the same time they also open up the SX series to the varied application

environment of the Solaris™operating system.

The SX100 series models are the entry-level models of the SX series. These non-partitio-

nable models are designed exclusively for use with BS2000/OSD. The SX series entry-level

models with their high availability and favourable total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) form an

optimum basis for the BS2000/OSD entry-level both for proven enterprise applications and

for new enterprise and E-business solutions.

Preface

All SX series models have the latest processor technology and optional fibre channel

interface technology for fibreCAT disk systems with possible SAN integration. These

features ensure that SX series models are a future-safe investment.

Figure 1: Example of an SX server: SX150 Business Server

On the business servers in the SX series suitable redundancy facilities result from the

operation of several partitions. These facilities are explained in more detail in the manual

“SX Series Business Servers – Concepts and Functions” [1].

Moreover, almost all functional elements can optionally be designed and configured redun-

dantly on an SX server (console interfaces, disks, power supply, peripherals, etc.).

Business servers in the SX series have the following partitions according to the operating

system being run:

●BS2000 partitions

The BS2000/OSD operating system is installed with the X2000 carrier system. X2000

is based on Solaris and essentially provides the runtime environment for BS2000/OSD.

As an alternative to the native operation of BS2000/OSD, depending on the model up

to 15 independent BS2000/OSD guest systems can be operated under VM2000.

●Solaris partitions

The Solaris operating system is installed.

Each partition can be set up either on the basis of the physical partitioning PPAR or on the

basis of the extended partitioning XPAR. You will find more details on this in the appendix

(page 385ff).

Preface

X2000 is based on the Solaris operating system and provides the following functions:

●HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer)

HAL maps the hardware-software interfaces of the /390 mode to equivalent interfaces

of the SPARC64 mode.

●/390 firmware

The /390 firmware component extends the SPARC64 mode and enables existing

customer applications to run object-compatibly on the SX servers under OSD/XC. This

applies both for applications generated with ASSEMBH and also for programs which

were generated with the BS2000 compilers for high-level programming languages. As

of OSD/XC V2.0 and X2000 V3.0A05 the SX servers also support ESA data spaces in

customer applications. Objects which are available in the special RISC object format for

SR2000 must be recompiled. The commands supported by ASSEMBH are described

in the manual “Assembler Instructions (BS2000/OSD)”[16].

●Execution of the inputs/outputs and data communication

●Administration and operation of the SX server

Entry-level models in the SX series

The entry-level models in the SX series are non-partitionable and designed for use exclu-

sively with the BS2000/OSD operating system. BS2000/OSD running on entry-level models

uses the functionality of the X2000 carrier system.

With these models, too, state-of-the-art processor technology, the efficient LTO tape device,

and optional fibre channel connection technology for FibreCAT and Symmetrix disk systems

and for CentricStor and ITC/SBU with SAN integration capability make these servers a

future-safe investment.

You will find more detailed information on the hardware of the different model series in the

appendix (page 385ff).
