System Overview • ePortal Specialty Engine MCP Environment The MCP Environment is the core environment provided on the system where the MCP Operating System, MCP system software, and MCP applications run. The ClearPath MCP release software package is installed in this environment. The MCP Environment consists of multiple hardware platforms and is provided by a package of Unisys software called MCP Firmware. MCP Firmware provides the following services in support of the MCP Environment: • E-mode Services • I/O Services • Network Services • MCP Console E-mode Services I/O Services E-mode services represents the portion of the Unisys MCP Firmware that provides runtime code execution support for the MCP Operating System, MCP System Software, and MCP applications. These services run on the E-mode engine that is located on the PMM server. I/O services represent the portion of the MCP Firmware that supports MCP I/O to the following types of devices: • Disk and disk storage systems • Tape and tape libraries • Virtual tapes • Operator Display Terminals (ODTs) • DVD-RW drives I/O services are also responsible for the discovery and management of devices, and performing I/O operations. The following table lists the components of I/O services. Component Description I/O processor (IOP) Performs I/O operations on behalf of the MCP I/O processor Manager Starts, stops, and restarts the I/O processor 2–4 8222 3694–000
MCP Console s-Par Component Description NGM I/O Service Discovers I/O devices NGM Disk Filter driver that controls I/O to Virtual Sector Size (VSS) disks NGM Tape Class driver that controls I/O to MCP tapes VSS Tab Plug In Adds a VSS disk tab in Device Manager and Disk Manager I/O processor Control Interfaces between I/O services and the System Editor of the MCP Console I/O services on the FS6200 Server also provides new I/O functionality that is not available on previous MCP systems. It supports Plug-and-Play enabling you to add new channels, taps, and disks to the MCP without a halt/load. It also supports multiple active I/Os to individual Virtual Sector Size (VSS) disks sometimes enabling the system to achieve higher I/O rates with lower numbers of disks/LUNs. This service runs on the I/O engine that is located on the ISM cell. The MCP Console is systems management software you use to perform configuration and operational tasks on the MCP Environment. It is contained in the MCP Firmware and runs as part of the MCP Environment. The MCP Console runs on the systems management engine that is located on the Operations Server. s-Par is software that provides the capability to run multiple operating environments concurrently—for example, multiple specialty engine operating environments. Each operating environment has dedicated hardware resources—processors, memory, and input/output—that isolate one operating environment from another and ensure that a failure of one specialty engine does not affect any other. Network Services System Overview Network Services provides a set of software services that make the network interfaces of the I/O engine available to the MCP Environment. These include • A local Enhanced Virtual LAN (EVLAN) network connection between the MCP Environment and the I/O engine. Communication across the EVLAN is through the TCP/IP protocol. EVLAN supports the Call Home platform service developed by Unisys. The EVLAN connection is not used by customer applications. • MCP network adapter services which enable TCP/IP and Heritage Network Services (BNA) network providers in the MCP Environment to establish network connections through NIC adapters of the underlying I/O engine. 8222 3694–000 2–5
