This section introduces the OSM client interfaces, providing the following information
for each application:
•
Overview of basic purpose and functionality
•
Description of enhancements and functional differences between OSM and TSM
(for server-side differences, see Section 3, OSM Server-Based Components)
•
Procedure for how to launch and log on to OSM applications and related tools
•
Reference to documentation for how to use the applications
The OSM client interfaces include:

OSM Service Connection
The OSM Service Connection is the primary OSM interface for monitoring and
servicing your NonStop S-series systems and NonStop ServerNet Clusters. It is also
the OSM application with the most significant changes over its TSM predecessor, the
TSM Service Application. This section describes the visual and functional differences
between the OSM Service Connection and the TSM Service Application, and how to
establish an OSM Service Connection session.
User Interface
Like the TSM Service Application, the OSM Service Connection provides a graphical
user interface that allows you to monitor and service your NonStop S-series systems
and ServerNet Clusters. The OSM Management window contains similar graphical,
hierarchical, and text detail representations of your system and cluster, as labeled in
Figure 5-1.
Unlike TSM, the OSM Service Connection is a browser-based application that resides
on the server and is accessed through an Internet Explorer browser session on a
system console. Establishing an OSM Service Connection Session on page 5-14
describes how to establish a connection to your system. For more information on using
the OSM Service Connection, see the OSM User’s Guide.
