Updating Firmware
A system consists of all the hardware components, software, and firmware that are managed by
a single operating system.
Using the OSM applications, you can monitor and maintain your local server to check the status
of all system components and to watch for indications of potential system problems. You can
also perform OSM actions to resolve many system problems. For details about the resources
that make up a system, see System Resources.
Locating and Viewing System Resources
Expand the system resource in the tree pane to see its resources.1.
In the View drop-down menu, you can select different views of the system:
The Physical view depicts the resources within the system.●
The Inventory view lists the resources within the system in tabular format.●

Monitoring a System
System monitoring tasks include:
Viewing alarms for resources in the system. Look for alarm bell icons and red and yellow
triangle icons. These icons appear in the Management window and Alarm dialog box
identifying which resources need operator attention or some other type of service. See
Viewing a Summary of Alarms.
●
Viewing the attributes of a selected resource in the system. If you suspect that a resource
is having problems, you can check the attributes of the resource in the Attributes dialog
box. Attributes identify information such as the name of the resource, type of resource,
and state of the resource. See Viewing Attributes.
