HP NonStop Server Software Requirements

You must install:

•

The newest TSM server (T7945ABN or later) SPR if you are installing NonStop

S78000 and S88000 servers.

For TSM, if you have to install the most recent server SPRs, follow the instructions

in the appropriate softdocs. Depending on your current configuration, for most TSM

server SPRs, such as TSM Bind, the process might need to be aborted and then

restarted using the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF). See the appropriate softdoc

for pre-installation and post-installation details.

•

OSM SPRs if you decide that you want to install and use OSM. These SPRs are

available on the G06.24 SUT and on Scout:

T2723 (OSM Connection Library

T2724 (OSM Provider Interface Library)

T2725 (OSM Configuration)

T2726 (OSM XML API)

T2727 (OSM CIMOM)

T2728 (OSM Service Provider)

T2730 (OSM Event Viewer)

T2751 (OSM client-based Suite, which includes the OSM Service Connection

and OSM Event Viewer)

Check Scout for any new SPRs or requisite SPRs. See also the Interactive

Upgrade Guide for new features and the OSM Migration Guide for installation and

configuration information.

Use OSM to manage and configure the new HP NonStop ServerNet Switch

(model 6780).

HP recommends using the OSM Service Connection (rather than the TSM

Service Application) for all systems that are part of an HP NonStop ServerNet

cluster. OSM suppresses generation of alarms and dial-outs on all nodes in the

cluster when service actions are performed on a cluster from any node. This

protection is not available if some nodes are being managed by TSM because

TSM cannot communicate with OSM.

Only OSM, not TSM, automatically recognizes online disk remirroring.

Unless OSM is already installed, configure OSM after you have used TSM to

update firmware and performed a system load of the new RVU. For information

on OSM configuration, see the OSM Migration Guide.

Only OSM supports the I/O adapter module (IOAM) enclosure and its

components. OSM provides the necessary ability to configure an IOAM

enclosure before it is integrated into the system.
