9.1 Managing BS2000 devices
For an SU x86 you manage BS2000 devices via the SU itself (menu item BS2000 devices).
Detailed information is provided in the sections on disks, LAN devices, KVP, and tape
devices.
A few special aspects apply for an SU /390, see
Device management on Server Unit /390
9.1.1 Device addresses
Mnemonic and unit ID
In BS2000 devices are identified and addressed by means of their mnemonic name. The
mnemonic name is known as mnemonic for short and abbreviated to MN (in BS2000
sometimes also abbreviated with MNEM).
Example
On the BS2000 console an emulated tape drive with the mnemonic AF is addressed in
the /SHOW-DEVICE-STATUS and /ATTACH-DEVICE commands:
/SHOW-DEVICE-STATUS AF
% MNEM DEV-TYPE CONF-STATE POOL VSN DEV-A PHASE ACTION
% AF BM1662FS DETACHED SW FREE NO ACTION
/ATTACH-DEVICE AF
% MSG-000.165608 % NKR0042 'DEVICE =AF': ATTACH ACCEPTED
%XAAE-000.165608 % NKR0116 ASSIGN FOR 'DEVICE=AF' IN PROCESS
% MSG-000.165608 % NKR0110 'DEVICE =AF' ATTACHED AND ASSIGNED
! UCO-000.165608 % NBR0740 COMMAND COMPLETED 'ATTACH-DEVICE'; (RESULT:
SC2=000, SC1=000, MC=CMD0001); DATE: 2017-01-09
/SHOW-DEVICE-STATUS AF
+XAAD MNEM DEV-TYPE CONF-STATE POOL VSN DEV-A PHASE ACTION
+XAAD AF BM1662FS ATTACHED SW FREE NO ACTION
Tape drive AF is initially in the (CONF-STATE) DETACHED status; it is then
successfully attached using the /ATTACH-DEVICE command. The second command,
/SHOW-DEVICE-STATUS, shows the new status.
With the exception of "normal" disks and real tape devices, the devices visible to BS2000
on an SU /390 are emulated devices and not directly the real devices. The disks for the
emergency system are emulated at the MU. On SU x86, all devices visible for BS2000 are
emulated. The following designation is more precise then "emulated devices": BS2000
emulations of the real devices.
