KMSF and the Operations Environment
KMSF affects routine operations. Operations staff must monitor KMSF and operator
messages to spot potential problems and dynamically add swap space as needed.
Event Management Service (EMS) messages are generated to alert staff to swap files
that have reached a configured threshold and to changes in KMSF configuration.
OSM Package
The HP Open System Management (OSM) product replaces TSM as the system
management tool of choice for NonStop S-series systems. OSM applications perform
all of the same functions that TSM does. However, OSM offers a browser-based
interface that improves scalability and performance and overcomes other limitations
that exist in TSM. TSM is still supported, but OSM is required to support new
functionality in G06.21 and later. For example, OSM is required to support 6780
ServerNet switches in ServerNet clusters, Online Disk Remirroring (ODR), IOAM
enclosures, and Fibre Channel disk-drive enclosures.
For more information on the OSM package, including a description of the individual
applications and how they differ from their TSM counterparts, see the OSM Migration
Guide and the OSM User’s Guide.
TSM Package
The TSM package is a collection of software products that provide troubleshooting,
maintenance, and service tools.
Using the TSM package, you can make the following configuration changes online:
•
Verify and update firmware for components.
•
Implement remote monitoring and maintenance functions.
•
Specify the IP addresses of the system consoles, other workstations, and the
master service processors.
Using the TSM Notification Director Application and the TSM Low-Level Link
Application, you can configure:
•
User names and passwords for the TSM package (recommended for security)
•
Remote dial-in access to the system from a service provider
•
Remote access from the system to an unattended line
•
Remote dial-out access from the system to a service provider
•
IP addresses for the dedicated TSM local area network (LAN)
For more information, refer to the TSM Configuration Guide. For the information you
need to configure remote access, contact your service provider.
