TSM Package
TSM Package
If you are running a version of TSM earlier than version 2000B, see the online
documentation included with that version for a description of the TSM package.
TSM provides troubleshooting, maintenance, and service tools for systems running
G-series RVUs. It combines many of the system maintenance functions provided on
systems running D-series RVUs by Syshealth, HP Tandem Maintenance and
Diagnostic System (TMDS), and the Remote Maintenance Interface (RMI). Use TSM
to:
•
Identify system components
•
Display the current status of system components
•
Perform recovery actions on specified components, such as processors
•
Start the system
•
Load a new software release
•
Send problem information to a remote service provider
•
View event logs
•
Locate failed or failing system components
•
Manage an HP NonStop ServerNet Cluster
TSM is a collection of these software products:
•
TSM server software installed on NonStop S-series servers
•
TSM client software installed on system consoles:
°
TSM Event Viewer
°
TSM Low-Level Link (replaced by the OSM Low-Level Link with TSM2005A
and later)
°
TSM Notification Director
°
TSM Service Application
TSM Event Viewer
The TSM Event Viewer allows you to set up criteria to view EMS log files ($0 and
$ZLOG) in several ways, enabling you to rapidly assess system problems. You can
search for and view log files and retrieve events based on start and end time,
subsystem, source, and multiple or specific events.
Low-Level Link
For TSM client version T8154ABI (2005A) and later, the OSM Low-Level Link replaces
the TSM Low-Level Link application. They look and work almost the same; see the
OSM online help for a description of the minor differences between the OSM and TSM
versions. With either version, the Low-Level Link enables you to communicate with a
NonStop S-series server even when the operating system is not running. The Low-
Level Link allows you to perform many service operations.
