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

Opening a TACL Window Directly From MR-Win6530
Starting with NonStop System Console installer S7X-SWV2/HNSC-SWV2, comForte MR-Win6530
replaces OutsideView as the terminal emulator shipped with the console software. It is launched
by the OSM Low-Level Link version T0633AAT and later for Startup TACL and Event Stream
windows. To launch a TACL session directly from MR-Win6530, see the MR-Win6530 User's
Guide (shipped with the console-based product).
Overview of OSM Applications
HP NonStop Open System Management (OSM) applications perform a variety of functions, such
as:
• The OSM Low-Level Link Application is primarily used for down-system support, such as
Two startup event stream windows and two startup TACL windows are automatically
launched on the system console configured to receive them. on page 15-6, Recovery
Operations for Processors on page 9-9, and configuring IOAM, VIO, and P-switch modules
(see the appropriate installation manual for your Integrity NonStop server).
• The OSM Service Connection is used to monitor, inventory, and perform actions on system
and ServerNet Cluster components. See Using OSM to Monitor the System on page 3-7 for
an overview of how the OSM Service Connection is used to monitor your system components.
• The OSM Event Viewer is used for Section 4, Monitoring EMS Event Messages.
• The OSM Notification Director is used for Monitoring Problem Incident Reports on page 3-12
and dialing out information to your service provider.
Launching OSM Applications
Several operations tasks in this guide require you to log on to one of the OSM applications.
Assuming that all OSM client components have been installed on the system console, launch the
desired application as described below, then see the online help (or default home page, for the
browser-based OSM applications) for log-on instructions.
To launch OSM applications: Start>Programs>HP OSM. Then select the name of the application
to launch:
• OSM Service Connection
• OSM Low-Level Link Application
• OSM Notification Director>Start/Stop
• OSM Event Viewer
• OSM System Inventory Tool
The OSM Service Connection and the OSM Event Viewer are browser-based applications.
Assuming that the OSM Console Tools component has been installed on the system console, the
Start menu shortcuts launch a default web page for these two applications. From that page, you
can select the system of your choice from the list of bookmarks displayed in the left column of
the page (available bookmarks include those that were user-created during previous sessions
and those converted automatically from an existing OSM system list). If no bookmarks are
available, the web page also contains instructions on how to access these applications by entering
a system URL as an Internet Explorer address. The system console-based OSM Console Tools
component is not required to use the OSM Service Connection and the OSM Event Viewer
applications; it merely installs the Start menu shortcuts and default home pages to make accessing
these applications easier. You can also simply open a new Internet Explorer browser window
and enter the URL of the system you wish to access.
