Managing devices

You manage the devices of the SE server using the Devices menu in the tree structure.

If you manage an SE server configuration with two or more SE servers in a Management Cluster, underneath Devices there will be a submenu <se server> (SE<model>) for each SE server, containing the devices of the respective SE server.

The devices are managed on an SU-specific basis.

For an SU x86 you manage BS2000 devices via the SU itself. Detailed information is provided in the sections on disks, LAN devices, KVP, and tape devices.

A few special aspects apply for an SU /390, see Device management on Server Unit /390.
