This manual describes the functionality of the SE Manager with the use of the basic software M2000/X2000/HNC V6.2A.
Information on the hardware lifecycle of the FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series
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. These new generation versions are called SU300 M2, MU M2 and HNC M2. They are supported from basic software V6.2A onwards.
The FUJITSU BS2000 servers of the SE series that are equipped with this hardware generation are called SE300B, SE500B and SE700B.
Functional extensions
The basic software M2000/X2000/HNC V6.2A provides the following functional extensions:
MU redundancy
An SE server may contain two MUs, which are equally ranking in management and operation:
Actions can be executed from each MU.
The add-ons on both MUs are integrated into the SE Manager as links and can therefore be called from each MU.
If the SE Manager is called via the MU's DNS name, the session is global for all MUs. You can switch from one MU to another without having to log in again. An add-on which is installed on a remote MU can be called without having to log in again.Support of clusters
If an SE server configuration consists of two SE servers, the SE servers are managed together in a shared Management Cluster.
Two SUs of the same type (SU /390 or SU x86) can be combined into one SU cluster. SU clusters enable the Live Migration (LM) function for migrating BS2000 systems from one SU to another.Support of LDAP accounts
LDAP accounts can be used for all user roles. The SE Manager also enables the LDAP configuration, which is the prerequisite to use LDAP accounts.Audit logging
The administrator is able to track changes to objects or to the configuration of the SE server, including the user, time and action involved. The system logs all actions performed in the SE Manager or via the CLI.
Event logging
Events in the SE server configuration are logged with a weight. Logging includes events caused by the StorMan add-on.Alarm management
The administrator can configure the automatic messaging (via SNMP trap or E-Mail) that is triggered for events over a certain weight.For AU87 with Oracle VM Server, the SE Manager enables direct access to the Oracle VM console.
