About This Guide
This guide introduces and describes how to prepare for and get started with the HP
NonStop Open System Management (OSM) Interface. OSM replaces TSM as the
system management tool of choice for NonStop S-series servers.
Who Should Use This Guide
This guide is intended for anyone who uses OSM to monitor or service a NonStop
S-series server. It describes OSM requirements, how to migrate from TSM to OSM
(including coexistence and fallback issues), and how to install, configure, and start
OSM server components and processes.
