Management and Operations Tasks
Management and Operations Tasks
The only OSS management and operations tasks that must occur within the OSS 
environment are performing backups, configuring printer aliases, and defining default 
profiles; the rest can occur from the Guardian environment. Table 1-1 lists common 
OSS management and operations tasks, along with the location of information on 
performing those tasks.
If a task is not listed, it is a task that affects the NonStop operating system and includes 
the Guardian environment as well as the OSS environment. For information about 
performing these tasks, see Guardian documentation.
Many of the general user tasks described in the Open System Services User’s Guide 
are also useful for a system manager or operator. See that guide when the Guardian 
documentation does not describe a task you need to perform.
