Common System Operations
HP NonStop S-Series System Expansion and Reduction Guide—522465-009
A-2
Determine the Processor Type
Determine the Processor Type
You can use either the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link or the OSM Service Connection
or TSM Service Application to determine the processor type of the NonStop S-series
server that you are logged on to. The software does not display the server model
number, but you can use the Part Number or Processor Name attributes to infer the
server model number.
Determine the Processor Type Using the OSM or TSM Low-Level
Link
Step Action Result
1.
•
In OSM, select Start>
Programs>HP OSM>OSM
Low-Level Link.
•
In TSM, select Start>
Programs>Compaq TSM>TSM
Low-Level Link Application.
2. Log on to a low-level link connection.
3. Click System Discovery to discover
the system.
4. From the Display menu, select
Physical View.
5. Resize the Management window so
that you can view the group numbers
under the enclosure icons in the
Physical view.
6. In the Physical view, double-click the
group containing the processor for
which you want to determine the
processor type.
7. Click the PMF CRU containing the
processor.
8. In the details pane, click the
Attributes tab.
The attributes appear in the details pane.
9. Find the Part Number attribute and
note its value for the selected PMF
CRU.
To determine the processor type and
system model number based on this part
number, see the OSM or TSM online help
or the NonStop S-Series Planning and
Configuration Guide.
