OSM Client-Based Components
Starting with G06.22, OSM client-based components are installed on new system
console shipments and also delivered by an OSM installer on the HP NonStop System
Console (NSC) Installer CD. The NSC CD also delivers all other client software
required for managing and servicing NonStop S-series servers. Installation instructions
are included in the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
OSM client-based components and the other client software delivered on the NSC CD
are dual-threaded; that is, they can be used for both G-series (HP NonStop S-series
servers) and H-series (HP Integrity NonStop NS-series servers). Because of this, the
NSC CD might be updated in between G-series RVUs. HP recommends that you get
the latest version of all console-based software.
Starting with G06.24, the OSM installer installs the following components (formerly part
of T2752) onto your qualified* system console:
OSM Low-Level Link (T0633)
OSM Notification Director (T0632)
OSM Console Tools (T0634), which installs Start menu shortcuts and default home
pages for the OSM Service Connection and OSM Event Viewer (the two browser-
based OSM applications that are not installed on the system console). While not
necessary for accessing these applications, these home pages display bookmarks
for easy access to your systems and automatically create bookmarks from your
existing TSM system list.
* See System Console Requirements on page 2-1.
Integration With Other HP Manageability
Solutions
OSM and your NonStop system console (assuming it meets the product-specific
requirements) can now be used in conjunction with other console-based HP
manageability products, such as HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) and HP
Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE).
Note. The OSM Service Connection and OSM Event Viewer are browser-based applications
that reside on the server and are accessed through an Internet Explorer browser session on
your system console or any PC that meets OSM hardware and software requirements. The
OSM client installer provides Start menu shortcuts to provide a convenient method of
accessing your systems, but no client installation is required to use the OSM Service
Connection or the OSM Event Viewer.
