Installation Overview
The OSM Product
For the G06.22 RVU, 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,
performance, and other limitations that exist in TSM. OSM is required for support of
new functionality released at the G06.22 RVU and beyond, such as IOAM or Fibre
Channel disk-drive enclosures.
To access the OSM guided replacement procedures, see OSM Guided Replacement
Procedures on page xxiv.
For more information about OSM, and detailed comparisons of OSM and TSM
functions, see the OSM Migration Guide and the OSM User’s Guide.
The TSM Package
The TSM package is a collection of software products that provide troubleshooting,
maintenance, and service tools. The TSM package consists of TSM server software
and TSM client software.
TSM server software is the portion of the TSM package that resides on the server.
TSM client software is the portion of the TSM package installed on a system console.
