6 Standard processing in SVP mode

Jobs are assigned to the service processor via special SVP menus, so-called SVP frames. All the information you require as an operator working with SVP frames can be found in this chapter. You will find instructions on the use of all user frames in the original “GS8600 MODEL GROUP OPERATORS GUIDE” (FJ-No. C112-E015-01EN).

After switching on the S130 and 3970-SKP, BS2000 operation must be prepared, i.e. the BS2000 operating system must be loaded (IPL = Initial Program Load). The following activ- ities may be required for the IPL:

–select the IORSF (Input/Output Resource File) and start the IMPL (Initial Micro Program Load)

This is only necessary if you want to load another IORSF.

–specify the operating mode (Native/VM2000)

This is only necessary if you want to change the mode setting.

–start IPL using PROGRAM LOAD FRAME

To do this you may have to redefine device parameters in the DETAIL-1 frame.

–configure an automatic IPL (POWER ON IPL)

The following sections provide examples of standard processing relevant to loading BS2000. There is also an description of how to select a particular configuration and how to re-initialize the SVP.

Standard processing at the SKP operator terminal at a glance:

–selecting IORSF

–re-initializing SVP

–setting up PROGRAM LOAD FRAME: PRESET-1

–setting up PROGRAM LOAD FRAME: PRESET-2

–selecting the SSU configuration

–setting the operating mode using PROGRAM LOAD FRAME: DETAIL-2 for loading BS2000 / VM2000

–executing IPL in PROGRAM LOAD FRAME: DETAIL-1

All standard processing is carried out at the SKP operating terminal via the X window system, SVPST0 #1 (computer name) window.

ÊSelect the SVP window by clicking with the left mouse mouse button

(see chapter “Operating the X window system” in the “SINIX-2000 V7.0” [1] manual).
