Additional Information
EMS event information tends to emphasize the software environment—hardware
conditions are usually reported from the perspective of their impact on the software
and their effects on the operating environment of the system or network.
In contrast, related products, the TMDS on systems running the D-series, and Compaq
TSM on systems running the G-series, are primarily oriented toward maintaining and
diagnosing hardware. This manual does not describe TMDS or TSM in any detail. For
information on TMDS or TSM, see their respective manuals in the NonStop Technical
Library.
This manual describes a combination of standard and optional products. If you have
any questions about which products are included in the product packages you have
purchased, contact your HP representative.
