NonStop NS1000 Planning Guide (H06.08+)

HP recommends that you change these preconfigured IP addresses to addresses appropriate for
your LAN environment. You must change the preconfigured IP addresses on:
• A backup system console if you want to connect it to a dedicated service LAN that already
includes a primary system console or other system console
• Any system console if you want to connect it to a dedicated service LAN that already includes
a primary system console
Keep track of all the IP addresses in your system so that no IP address is assigned twice.
Operating Configurations for Dedicated Service LANs
You can configure the dedicated service LAN in several different ways, as described in the OSM
Migration and Configuration Guide. HP recommends that you use a fault-tolerant LAN configuration.
For a faster configuration option for the OSM Service Connection only, see the OSM Migration
and Configuration Guide.

NOTE: HP Insight Remote Support Advanced (Insight RSA) is now qualified for Integrity
NonStop NS-Series servers. Insight RSA is the go-forward remote support solution for NonStop
systems, replacing the OSM Notification Director in both modem-based and HP Instant Support
Enterprise Edition (ISEE) remote support solutions. For more information on Insight RSA, please
refer to Insight Remote Support Advanced for NonStop in the external Support and Services collection
of NTL.
OSM client-based components are installed on new system console shipments and also delivered
by an OSM installer on the HP NonStop System Console (NSC) Installer CD. The NSC CD also
delivers all other client software required for managing and servicing NonStop NS1000 servers.
For installation instructions, see the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
OSM server-based components are incorporated in a single OSM server-based SPR, T0682 (OSM
Service Connection Suite), that is installed on Integrity NonStop NS-series servers running the
HP NonStop operating system.
For information on how to install, configure and start OSM server-based processes and
components, see the OSM Migration and Configuration Guide. The OSM components are:

of NTL.
System-Down OSM Low-Level Link
In Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems, the maintenance entity (ME) in the VIO enclosures provides
dedicated service LAN services via the OSM Low-Level Link for both OS coldload, system
management, and hardware configuration when hardware is powered up but the OS is not
running. LAN connections are direct from the 10/100 Ethernet ports on the VIO enclosures to
the maintenance switch that is installed in the modular cabinet. This illustration shows the LAN
connections for the OSM Low-Level Link:
