Installation Overview
Dial-Ins
Dial-in capability lets a remote service provider access information about your server to
diagnose hardware or software problems. For dial-in, your service provider uses a
system console to dial in to a workstation on the same LAN as your server. The
workstation uses remote operations software, such as Carbon Copy or Microsoft
Windows NetMeeting, to route requests and responses between your server and your
service provider.
All system consoles provided by HP include the software for dial-in capability. Security
mechanisms are available to ensure that dial-ins do not jeopardize your operational
security. For information about dial-in user names, passwords, configuration, and
security, see the TSM Configuration Guide, the OSM User’s Guide, and the online help
and documentation provided with your remote operations software.
Preloaded Hardware and Software
Personal computers (PCs) provided for use as system consoles come preloaded with
the hardware and software to run OSM software. TSM software can be installed from
the HP NonStop System Console Installer CD.
Only PCs provided by HP for this purpose are supported as system consoles.
Caution. To preserve the integrity of applications running on system consoles, do not install
any software applications on your system consoles other than those listed in Table 1-5.
Compromising the software on the system console might leave you unable to communicate
with your server.
