Performance Management
TSM and OSM Notification Applications
The TSM Notification Director and OSM Notification applications receive notifications
from the NonStop S-series server and display them in the form of incident reports,
allowing you to take action or dial-out the incident reports to your service provider for
resolution.
HP OpenView
By using SNMP, you can manage NonStop servers with HP OpenView software.
NonStop servers can forward EMS messages using the SNMP trap converter to
OpenView Operations software to provide a consolidated enterprise event display.
Trace and PTrace
SCF includes a TRACE command that allows you to trace line and protocol events for
any communications subsystem. The trace options vary with the product. Once the
trace log is created, you use a program called PTrace to interpret the data. PTrace
displays data from the trace log with labels on individual fields so that operators need
not be familiar with the trace record format. (They must, however, be familiar with the
protocol being implemented.)
Performance Management
HP offers a growing set of performance tools. One of the most fundamental of these
tools is Measure, which collects performance statistics from a wide range of products,
including many communications subsystems. The operator specifies the objects to be
measured and the sampling interval. The results are available to applications; in
addition, operators can use the HP Enform report writer to query the log that Measure
produces.
