NonStop NS-Series Operations Guide (H06.12+)

About This Document
This guide describes how to perform routine system hardware operations for HP Integrity
NonStop NS-series servers on H-series release version updates.
This guide is primarily geared toward commercial type NonStop NS-series servers (see Differences
Between Integrity NonStop NS-Series Systems on page 2-2 for high-level architectural and
hardware differences between the various commercial models). While basic monitoring principles,
such as Using OSM to Monitor the System on page 3-7, apply to Telco as well as commercial
systems, refer to the NonStop NS-Series Carrier Grade Server Manual for hardware details and
service procedures specific to Telco systems.
NOTE: NS-series refers to the hardware that makes up the server. H-series refers to the software
that runs on the server.
The term, NonStop server, refers to both NonStop S-series servers and Integrity NonStop NS-series
servers.
