System Console
System Console
A system console is a personal computer, approved by HP, used to run maintenance
and diagnostic software for NonStop S-series servers. New system consoles are
preconfigured with the required HP and third-party software. Existing system consoles
can be upgraded to latest software versions 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. A dedicated LAN is required for
use of OSM or TSM Low-Level Link and Notification Director functionality, which
includes configuring primary and backup dial-out points (referred to as the primary and
backup system consoles, respectively).
This table provides examples of the types of operations you can perform using HP and
third-party software installed on your system console.
