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.
