NonStop Operations Guide for H-Series and J-Series RVUs

• The OSM Event Viewer is used for “Monitoring EMS Event Messages” (page 77).
• OSM Console Tools:
NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS Configuration Wizard — used to configure
DHCP, DNS, and BOOTP servers required for certain NonStop Systems.
◦
◦ Down System CLIM Firmware Update Tool — used for updating firmware/BIOS for CLIM
components during planned system down time.
◦ OSM Certificate Tool — used for HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystems to facilitate
communication between OSM and the Onboard Administrator (OA) for those systems.
◦ OSM System Inventory Tool — used to create an inventory file listing the hardware,
firmware, or Numeric Sensor data for one or more NonStop systems running OSM.
◦ Apache OpenOffice — a third-party product, installed as part of the OSM Console Tools,
provides a method to view spreadsheets, documents, presentations of the system console;
for example, files created by OSM in .csv (or comma delimited) format, such as hardware
inventories created by the OSM System Inventory Tool and Access Control List reports or
saved Multi-Resource Views created in the OSM Service Connection.
◦ Terminal Emulator File Converter — used to convert OSM Service Connection-related
OutsideView session files to MR-Win6530 format.
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>All Programs>HP OSM. Then select the name of the application
to launch:
• OSM Service Connection*
• OSM Low-Level Link Application
• OSM Event Viewer*
OSM System Inventory Tool
• OSM Certificate Tool
• Down System CLIM Firmware Update Tool
• NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS Configuration Wizard
• Terminal Emulator File Converter
NOTE: Apache OpenOffice is launched from Start>All Programs>OpenOffice
NOTE: If the OSM Notification Director is not visible when accessing a remote NonStop system
console (NSC) using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection — and the OSM Notification Director
is installed on that console and still being used for remote support instead of its replacement product,
HP Insight Remote Support Advanced — you must start the session using a different command
depending on the client version of Remote Desktop Connection. Refer to OSM Notification Director
Not Visible When Accessing Remote NonStop System Console in Trouble Shooting Tips in the
Support and Service Collection on NTL.
*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
