TSM Components
TSM software components run on a PC-compatible workstation (the client) and on a
Himalaya S-series server (the server).
TSM Components on the Server
Certain software and hardware components on the Himalaya S-series server help to
provide TSM functions by communicating with the TSM client software on the
workstation. These components include the following:
•
TSM server software
•
Master service processors (MSPs) and related software
•
TSM EMS Event Viewer Server Manager and related processes
TSM Server Software
The TSM server software is the major component of TSM that resides on the Himalaya
S-series server. When the NonStop Kernel operating system is running, the workstation
communicates with the TSM server software on the Himalaya S-series server.
Master Service Processors (MSPs)
When the NonStop Kernel operating system is not running, the workstation can still
communicate with the Himalaya S-series server through its connection to the master
