OSM Service Connection User's Guide (G06.30+)

Incident reports are sent from the OSM workstations defined as the primary and backup
dial-out points (the primary and backup system consoles.
Note: Remote access and remote notification are not available in countries where the
modem provided by HP is not certified. In these countries, you cannot use the
OSM software to dial out to or accept dial-in communications from a service
provider.
discovery
The process by which the OSM Service Connection determines the supported resources
that exist on a NonStop" server, including customer-replaceable units (CRUs),
field-replaceable units (FRUs), and their subcomponents; I/O process names; and device
states. I/O process names (or logical names) are available only to the OSM Service
Connection.
See also initial discovery.
disk drive
A device that stores data on a disk and provides random access to addressable locations
on the disk. There are two types of disk drives:
On magnetic drives, access is provided by magnetic read/write heads.●
On optical drives, access is provided by a low-intensity laser beam.●
disk volume
A logical disk drive. A volume can be one or two physical drives. In NonStop servers,
volumes have names that begin with a dollar sign ($), such as $DATA.
domain
A set of objects on the server over which control or ownership is maintained.
download
To transfer software from one location to another, where the transferring entity initiates
the transfer.
dump
To copy the contents of a processor's memory onto disk or magnetic tape for later
analysis, as in a tape dump.
dynamic information
Information that represents the set of supported resources that actually exist in the current
configuration of the server. Dynamic information is gathered from a server through the
process of discovery.
