11. Configure System Console and Enclosure
11. Configure System Console and Enclosure
This step ensures that the system console attached to this enclosure contains the
correct software and that this enclosure contains the correct IP addresses.
11.1 Check and Upgrade OSM and TSM Client Software If
Necessary
You must check to see whether the system console attached to this enclosure is
running the appropriate OSM or TSM client software. If necessary, you must upgrade
this software.
1. To determine the version of OSM or TSM client software on the system console,
see Determine the Product Version of the TSM Client Software on page A-7.
2. If you need to upgrade OSM or TSM client software on the system console, see
the NonStop System Console Installer Guide for the instructions for that version.
11.2 Enter Enclosure IP Addresses
Step Action Result
1. Start the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link, but do not log on.
2. When the logon dialog box appears, click Cancel.
3. From the menu bar, select File. A menu appears.
4. Select Edit System List…. The Edit Systems List dialog box appears.
5. Click Add. The Add System dialog box appears.
6. Using Worksheet 2.n, enter the low-level link IP addresses of the PMF CRUs or
IOMF CRUs in slots 50 (primary) and 55 (backup) of the enclosure.
You do not need to fill in the Service Connection IP addresses.
7. After you enter the IP addresses, click Add.
8. If you see a warning message that
an IP address already appears in
your system, click Yes.
You will overwrite this IP address with the
identical IP address that is associated with the
added enclosure.
If you are using only one system console and
moving it between the target system and the
enclosure, you must add the other IP address
again when you reattach the system console
to the target system.
9. Click OK. The Edit Systems List dialog box disappears.
