OSM Configuration and Fallback (G06.08 to G06.24)

For fallback issues, see the OSM Migration Guide. The guide covers OSM and TSM

co-existence and fallback issues, such as:

•

Comparison of OSM to TSM

•

OSM hardware and software requirements

•

Migrating an existing TSM system list to a new console for OSM use

•

Co-existence issues for using both OSM and TSM

•

Fallback instructions for changing configuration from OSM back to TSM

OSS (G06.12 through G06.24)

As of G06.12, the format of the records in the OSS configuration databases has

changed. A special SPR, T8622AAH, ensures backward compatibility if you need to fall

back to an RVU prior to G06.12.

These are additional considerations for OSS upgrade and configuration:

•

Disk volumes that are accessed by the OSS environment, including the $SYSTEM

volume where the OSS Monitor’s configuration files are kept, must not be

configured for administration by the HP NonStop Storage Management Foundation

(SMF).

•

Beginning with the G06.18 RVU, OSSMON is not dependent on $zsmp to be

started. In earlier G-series and D-series RVUs, when you configured OSSMON to

start automatically during the system load process, you had to configure the

Safeguard security manager process $ZSMP to start automatically before

OSSMON was started.

Support Note S01025

Note. Note that T8622AAH cannot be applied to RVUs prior to G06.00. If you are migrating to

G06.24 from an RVU prior to G06.00, you cannot fall back to your previous RVU unless you

follow very strict guidelines.
