System Consoles

A system console is a personal computer approved by HP to run maintenance and

diagnostic software for NonStop S-series servers. New system consoles are

preconfigured with the required HP and third-party software. When upgrading to the

latest RVU, software upgrades can be installed from the HP NonStop System Console

Installer CD.

System consoles communicate with NonStop S-series servers over a dedicated local

area network (LAN) or a nondedicated (public) LAN. System consoles configured as

the primary and backup dial-out points are referred to as the primary and backup

system consoles, respectively.

When used with the TSM application, system consoles provide certain functionality

using the keyboard’s function keys. The OSM Service Connection does not use the

function keys but provides equivalent functionality through an Internet Explorer browser

window.
