Measure
Measure
Measure is a tool for monitoring the performance of NonStop servers. In an Expand
network, Measure can help determine node-to-node activity and processor and line
use by Expand line-handler processes. Measure is described in the Measure User’s
Guide.
Compaq TSM Package
TSM is a client/server application that provides troubleshooting, maintenance, and
service tools. 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 graphical user interface (GUI) that contains extensive online
help.
TSM is described in the OSM Migration Guide and the TSM Online User Guide.
OSM Interface
For G06.21, the HP Open System Management (OSM) product replaces TSM as the
system management tool of choice for NonStop S-series systems. While TSM is still
supported, OSM offers a browser-based interface that improves scalability and
performance as well as improving upon other limitations of TSM. OSM is required for
support of new functionality released at G06.21 and beyond.
For more information about OSM, see the OSM User’s Guide and the OSM Migration
Guide.
Online Expansion and Reconfiguration
You can add a new node or new lines to a network or move an existing node to a
different location without disrupting network activity.
You can make changes to your Expand configuration online using the Subsystem
Control Facility (SCF) interfaces to the Expand and WAN subsystems. Table 2-1 shows
the online expansion and reconfiguration tasks that can be performed with these
interfaces.
