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

Measure
Use the Measure program to collect and display system performance statistics about processors,
processes, communication and network lines, files, disks, and terminals. Operations management
personnel often use Measure to help fine-tune and balance a system.
MEDIACOM
MEDIACOM is the operator interface to the Distributed Systems Management/Tape Catalog
(DSM/TC). It allows you to perform routine tape and tape-drive management operations.
NonStop NET/MASTER
NonStop NET/MASTER is used to integrate system and network management services. It serves
as an alternative to the ViewPoint console application.
NSKCOM and the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF)
NSKCOM is the command interface to the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF). NSKCOM
allows you to configure and manage permanently allocated swap files.
OSM Package
The HP Open System Management (OSM) product is the system management tool for Integrity
NonStop systems. OSM offers a browser-based interface that improves scalability and performance
and overcomes other limitations that existed in TSM. The OSM Low-Level Link has a new System
Load dialog specifically for Integrity NonStop servers.
TSM does not supported Integrity NonStop NS-series servers; OSM is required.
For more information on the OSM package, including a description of the individual applications
and how they differ from their TSM counterparts, see the OSM Migration and Configuration Guide
and the OSM Service Connection User's Guide.
PATHCOM
PATHCOM is the interactive interface to the PATHMON process, through which users enter
commands to configure and manage Pathway applications.
PEEK
Use the PEEK program to gather statistical information about processor activity, system storage
pools, paging activity, message information, send instructions, and interrupt conditions.
RESTORE
Use the RESTORE utility to copy files from magnetic tape to disk.
SPOOLCOM
SPOOLCOM allows you to perform these tasks related to printing:
• Display the status of collectors, devices, print jobs, print processes, routing structures, and
the spooler itself
• Change the location, state, or any attribute of your job
• Delete your print job from the spooler subsystem
• Restart a device that has gone offline with a device error
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)
SCF configures and manages several subsystems that control system processes and hardware,
including communications paths, disks, tapes, terminals, printers, and communications lines.
