The FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE series is the continuation and integration of technologies from the previous Fujitsu mainframe lines of the S and SQ series as regards hardware architecture and software functions. Designed as hybrid systems, the SE servers bring a high quality of openness and integration ability from various server and peripheral systems together with comprehensive, cross-system manageability.
Depending on requirements, an SE server contains all the system components needed for operation as an overall application:
/390-based BS2000 Server Unit
x86-based Server Unit with BS2000 guest systems
x86-based Application Units for operating Native or hypervisor systems (e.g. Linux, Windows, VMware, OVM, etc.)
- Net Unit as a high-speed, server-internal infrastructure to connect the components with each other and with the customer's IP networks
Shareable tape and disk periphery
Infrastructure to connect the components with the customer's FC networks
Information on the hardware lifecycle of the FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series (Changes since the last edition of the manual)
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 several times. If the following generations are not identified by their own designations (e.g. SU300 → SU300B → SU310 → SU320), the generations are identified by a subsequent Mx with x = 1,2,3,…: MU M2, MU M3, HNC M2, HNC M3 etc. The generation M2 is supported as of SE V6.2A, the generation M3 as of version 6.3A04.
The changes in the manuals are mainly due to these new hardware lifecycle generation models. Any differences to the previous models regarding structure and operation are described in detail.
