This section introduces the control, configuration, and maintenance tools used in
Integrity NonStop NS-series systems:
System Console
A system console is a personal computer (PC) approved by HP to run maintenance
and diagnostic software for Integrity NonStop NS-series systems. New system
consoles are preconfigured with the required HP and third-party software. When
upgrading to the latest RVU, you can install software upgrades from the HP NonStop
System Console Installer CD.
Using a system console, you can:
•
Monitor operations on systems using the OSM package
•
View manuals and service procedures
•
Run HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL) sessions using
terminal-emulation software
•
Install and manage system software using the Distributed Systems
Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM)
•
Make remote requests to and receive responses from a system using remote
operation software
