NOTE: The OSM Notification Director has been removed from the NSC DVD; it will not function
on consoles running Windows 2008 Server. Its functionality has been replaced by HP Insight
Remote Support Advanced. For more information, see "Insight Remote Support Advanced for

mirrored disks without reviving.
◦
◦ Save a system configuration on the system console for future use.
• Configure Module action, used to configure IOAM and VIO modules.

Using DSM/SCM and NonStop Software Essentials With This RVU
NonStop Software Essentials and This RVU
The HP NonStop Software Essentials product is a software installation and management tool for
NonStop servers. NonStop Software Essentials uses DSM/SCM server software and provides a
replacement for DSM/SCM Planner Interface functions as well as certain Host Maintenance Interface
functions that is more secure, easier to use, and overcomes other shortcomings of DSM/SCM. It
coexists with DSM/SCM; you can use either NonStop Software Essentials or the DSM/SCM Planner
Interface for tasks in which there is overlapping functionality. For more information, see the NonStop
Software Essentials Installation and Quick Start Guide.
NonStop Software Essentials is first released in J06.13 and available by SPRs for all pre-J06.13
RVUs.
DSM/SCM and This RVU
• The DSM/SCM H02 PVU (T6031H02) is supported.
• A new type of hardware platform and selectable option, TNS/E, has been added to the
Planner Interface screens. See the DSM/SCM User’s Guide for configuration information.
• By default, the DSM/SCM H02 PVU is configured to manage OSS files. Check that OSS is
configured and started if DSM/SCM is set to manage OSS files. If not, the Apply can fail.
• CNFGINFO supports system generation options for DLLs.
• Creating a SIT is not supported in J-series RVUs.
• You might need to update both the client and server-side SPRs. For this RVU, the Planner
Interface screen displays G02/H02 for the client side and H02 for the server side.
