NonStop NS16000 Series Planning Guide (H06.11+)

Additional Configuration for OSM
If you are using OSM Notification Director for remote support services and/or require a faster
connection to the OSM Service Connection, see Configuring Additional TCP/IP Processes for OSM
Connectivity in the OSM Migration and Configuration Guide.
System Console
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 DVD image.
NOTE: The NonStop system console must be configured with some ports open. For more
information, see the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
Some system console hardware, including the Windows server unit, monitor, and keyboard, can
be mounted in the cabinet. Other Windows servers are installed outside the cabinet and require
separate provisions or furniture to hold the Windows server hardware.
System consoles communicate with NonStop NS16000 series systems over a dedicated service
local area network (LAN) or a secure operations LAN. A dedicated service LAN is required for
use of OSM Low-Level Link and Notification Director functionality, which includes configuring
primary and backup dial-out points (referred to as the primary and backup system consoles,
respectively). HP recommends that you also configure the backup dedicated service LAN with a
backup system console.
Your system console configuration can be any of:
• One system console managing one system (not recommended)
• One system console managing multiple systems (not recommended)
• Primary and backup system consoles managing one system
• Primary and backup system consoles managing multiple systems
