System installation of the operating system BS2000 OSD/BC V11.0 on SE servers covers all the activities involved in preparing an executable BS2000 operating system that is geared to the current hardware configuration of the Server Unit.
These activities include:
providing the necessary volumes (disks)
reading in / installing all relevant files
generating installation-specific objects (e.g. IO configuration file)
System installation thus creates the prerequisites for initialization of a BS2000 operating system for the Server Unit concerned.
The system initialization itself is no longer part of system installation; it is described in the “Introduction to System Administration” [4].
Information about the various hardware components, interfaces and maximum values for the SE servers is available online: https://www.fujitsu.com/emeia/products/ > Servers > BS2000 Mainframes > Fujitsu Server BS2000 > “Model selection”.
Information about key figures and performance data of the hardware and software components is provided in the Performance Handbook [3].
