NonStop NS14000 Series Planning Guide (H06.13+)

B Operations and Management Using OSM Applications
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 NS14000 series
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:

NOTE: HP Insight Remote Support Advanced is the go-forward remote support solution for
NonStop servers. It works in conjunction with OSM server software, but replaces the OSM
Notification Director in both modem-based and HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) remote
support solutions. For more information on Insight Remote Support Advanced, see Insight Remote
Support Advanced for NonStop, located in the Service Information collection of NTL.
System-Down OSM Low-Level Link
In NonStop NS14000 series 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:
