Concept of system operation

Overview

●The service/console processor (3970-SKP) with the SINIX operating system.

●

●

●

●

Operation of the S130 system takes place via a local PC: the 3970-SKP service/console processor.

S130 and 3970-SKP communicate with one another in three ways:

–serial line (V.24)

–type-2 I/O channel (KT2) or type-S I/O channel

–LAN connection

The following components can be operated via the local 3970-SKP screen and remote secondary consoles:

–the 3970-SKP itself

–the SVP of the S130

–the BS2000 running on the S130

Consoles can be set up and operated directly for up to 15 VM2000 guest systems.

Automatic Operator (ATOP).

The ATOP is a device which is connected to the 3970-SKP via a serial line.

It makes the following functions possible:

–automatic switching on and off of the S130

–automatic operation of the BS2000 system

The customer can program the ATOP to specify which operating functions should be executed for which conditions.

Examples:

–automatic shutdown of the system in the case of fan failure.

–automatic command entry in reaction to certain BS2000 console messages. It is possible to connect a radio-controlled clock or Global Time Server (GTS).

On/off facility (optional) makes it possible to switch the S130 on and off from the 3970-SKP.
