Event Management Service (EMS)

EMS is a DSM interface that provides event collection, logging, and distribution

facilities. The CP6100 subsystem reports events to EMS. CP6100 subsystem events

are described in the Operator Messages Manual.

Compaq TSM

The TSM package is a client/server application that provides troubleshooting,

maintenance, and service tools for the NonStop S-series server. TSM consists of

software components that run on the NonStop S-series server and on a PC-compatible

workstation. The TSM software on the workstation features an easy-to-use graphic

user interface (GUI) that contains extensive online help.

HP Open System Management (OSM)

For the G06.21 RVU and beyond, the HP Open System Management (OSM) product

replaces TSM as the system management tool of choice for NonStop S-series

systems. OSM offers a browser-based interface that improves scalability and

performance and overcomes other limitations that exist in TSM. TSM is still supported;

however, OSM is required to support new functionality in the G06.21 RVU and later.

For more information on OSM, see the OSM Migration Guide and the OSM User's

Guide.

Online Expansion and Reconfiguration

Reconfiguration of the CP6100 subsystem is made online using the Subsystem Control

Facility (SCF) interface to the CP6100 and wide area network (WAN) subsystems.

Table 2-2

compares tasks that you may use frequently and indicates whether they are

performed by SCF or the WAN subsystem. Changes made using SCF are temporary

and exist until a system load or a subsequent SCF change to the line. Changes made

through the WAN subsystem are persistent and are stored in the Management

Information Base (MIB). For more information about using the WAN subsystem to start

or reconfigure data communications processes, refer to the WAN Subsystem

Configuration and Management Manual.

Note. TSM is not supported on NonStop NS-series servers. OSM is the supported system

management tool for NonStop NS-series servers.
