Guided Replacement Procedures
Guided Replacement Procedures
This guide refers to the guided replacement procedures. These automated tools guide
you step by step through replacing many customer-replaceable units (CRUs).
Guided procedures are part of the HP Open Systems Management (OSM) package
and the Compaq TSM package. OSM is the system management tool of choice for HP
NonStop S-series systems.
OSM Guided Procedures
In OSM, guided procedures are launched by actions within the OSM Service
Connection. To access the OSM guided replacement procedures:
1. Log on to the OSM Service Connection.
2. Locate and right click on the object in the Tree pane.
3. Select Actions.
4. Select Replace from among the available actions for that resource.
5. Click Perform action; the action launches the guided procedure.
See to the OSM User’s Guide for a list of the OSM guided procedures.
TSM Guided Procedures
To access the TSM guided replacement procedures:
Start > Programs > Compaq TSM > Guided Replacement Tools
Note. The Guided Replacement Toolkit (GRT) is used to replace and an IOMF, PMF, power
supply, or 6760 ServerNet Device Adapter (ServerNet/DA) in a system running TSM product
version T7945AAW (shipped with the G06.12 RVU) or earlier.
