3.4 Product use
The version change from BS2000/OSD-BC on /390 systems to OSD-XC
V2.2A is described in the manual "OSD/XC Migration Guide".
When upgrading from OSD/XC V1.0 or OSD/XC V1.1 to OSD/XC V2.2A,
X2000 V3.0 must already be in use.
As of OSD/XC V1.1A the support of device type D3435 for FibreCat
CX400/CX600, CX500/CX700 and Symmetrix systems on FC is provided.
This allows existing data inventories of Symmetrix systems that are
connected to business servers with /390 architecture to be taken
over without migrating the data when adding an SX server to the
system.
3.4.1 General notes
- System generation:
Generating the software is not necessary for systems with SPARC64
architecture.
- Generating and configuring the peripheral devices:
Connected channel peripherals are generated with IOGEN.
When generating, it must be ensured that the connection paths to
a device are not spread over both channel chassis (UHPS), i.e.
all channels to a device must have a CHPID from the range either
80 - 87 / 90 - 97 or the range A0 - A7 / B0 - B7
The connected bus and fibre channel peripherals are configured
and administered via the graphical, web-oriented interface PRIME-
POWER ServerView (previously called WebSysAdmin).
You will find detailed information on configuring the peripheral
devices in the manual "SX Business Server, Operating and Admini-
stration".
- Using MTC devices in a SAN (Storage Area Network):
When connecting and configuring MTC devices in a SAN, it must be
noted that the FC port of an MTC device or a CentricStor must be
unambiguously assigned to a server type (SX series, S series).
Simultaneous connection of MTC devices to an SX system on one
hand and to an S server (business server with /390 architecture)
or open systems on the other hand is not permitted. The informa-
tion in the manual "SX Series Business Servers, Operating and Ad-
ministering" must be noted when connecting MTC devices to several
SX systems simultaneously.
Disk and tape devices must not be connected simultaneously to the
FC port of a host.
These notes also apply particularly for the virtual tape devices
in CentricStor.
- System corrections:
The OSD/XC V2.2A REP files contain corrections for /390 and
SPARC64 code.
