Who Should Use This Guide
Note. The DSM/SCM User’s Guide is applicable if you are using DSM/SCM Planner
Interface. The go forward solution for NonStop software management is NonStop Software
Essentials, which replaces the DSM/SCM Planner Interface in addition to certain Host
Maintenance Interface functions. NonStop Software Essentials works with DSM/SCM server,
providing a web-based interface that is more secure, easier to use, and overcomes other
shortcomings of DSM/SCM.
HP recommends that you migrate to NonStop Sof
t
wa
re Essentials. It is required on 64-bit
consoles (which includes NonStop system consoles running Windows Server 2008), where the
DSM/SCM Planner Interface is not supported. For information on migrating to and using
NonStop Software Essentials, see:

NonStop Software Essentials Installation and Quick Start Guide – Helps you
prepare for, install, and get started with NonStop Software Essentials.

NonStop Software Essentials User’s Guide – Provides the equivalent of the
DSM/SCM User’s Guide for anyone using NonStop Software Essentials instead of
the DSM/SCM Planner Interface, including all of the DSM/SCM server-related
information necessary when using NonStop Software Essentials.

HP SIM for NonStop Manageability – HP recommends installing HP SIM and plug-
ins, such as NonStop Software Essentials on a separate Central Management
Server (CMS) rather than on the NonStop system consoles (although they are
supported on NonStop system consoles as well). This document provides the rules
and guidelines for setting up the appropriate console configuration for your
environment.
