OSM Client-Based Components
OSM client-based component upgrades are delivered on the NonStop System Console Installer
DVD. HP recommends upgrading to the very latest console software available.
The OSM client-based products are:
• OSM Low-Level Link, which is used to provide down-system support, allowing you to
communicate with your HP NonStop server even when the NonStop Kernel operating system
is not running. In addition to performing the system loads, it is used to configure VIO and
other modules, configure CLIMs, and update CLIM software. For information on other features
and functionality, see the OSM Low-Level Link online help.
• OSM Console Tools, which includes these products:
OSM System Inventory Tool◦
◦ Terminal Emulator File Converter
◦ OSM Certificate Tool
◦ NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS Configuration Wizard (replaces the CLIM Boot
Service Configuration Wizard on NonStop System Console Installer DVD, Update 17
and later)
◦ Down System CLIM Firmware Update Tool
◦ DHCP DNS Configuration Wizard
For more information, see the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
