Compaq TSM client software. The component of the TSM package that runs on a system
console. The TSM client software consists of the TSM Low-Level Link Application, the
TSM Service Application, the TSM Notification Director Application, and the TSM EMS
Event Viewer Application.
Compaq TSM Low-Level Link Application. A component of the TSM client software. The
TSM Low-Level Link Application enables you to communicate with a NonStop S-series
server even when the HP NonStop Kernel operating system is not running. When the
operating system is running, you usually communicate with the server using the TSM
Service Application. See also Compaq TSM Service Application.
Compaq TSM Notification Director Application. A component of the TSM client software.
The TSM Notification Director Application receives notifications and incident reports
from an HP NonStop S-series server, displays them, and allows you to take action or
forward the incident reports to your service provider for resolution. The TSM
Notification Director Application can be configured to run on a system console at all
times, even when other TSM applications are not being used.
Compaq TSM server software. The component of the TSM package that runs on a
NonStop S-series server. When the NonStop Kernel operating system is running, the
TSM client software on a system console communicates with a server through the
TSM server software.
Compaq TSM Service Application. A component of the TSM client software. The TSM
Service Application enables you to communicate with a NonStop S-series server when
the NonStop Kernel operating system is running. When the operating system is not
running, communication must take place using the TSM Low-Level Link Application.
See also Compaq TSM Low-Level Link Application.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). An Internet protocol for automating the
configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can automatically assign IP
addresses, deliver TCP/IP stack configuration parameters such as the subnet mask
and default router, and provide other configuration information such as the addresses
for printer, time, and news servers.
