and wide area network (WAN).
node
A uniquely identified computer system connected to one or more other computer systems
in a network. For example, each server in a ServerNet cluster, an Expand network, and a
FOX ring is a node.
notification
A message that is generated by the OSM software when something occurs that might
affect resource performance and availability. The two types of notifications are OSM
notifications and service processor (SP) event messages.
O
object
One or more of the devices, lines, processes, and files in a subsystem. In the OSM
Service Connection, an object is equivalent to a resource.
See also resource.
OSM Event Viewer
A component of the OSM software that lets you set up criteria to view log files in several
ways, enabling you to rapidly assess service problems. The OSM Event Viewer is
launched from within the OSM Low-Level Link and the OSM Service Connection.
OSM Low-Level Link
A component of the OSM software that enables you to communicate with a server when
the NonStop Kernel operating system is not running, as long as both the server and the
workstation have power. When the operating system is running, you usually
communicate with the server using the OSM Service Connection. However, some
operations on a running server require that you use the OSM Low-Level Link. To start
the operating system on a server, you use the OSM Low-Level Link.
OSM notification
A notification generated by the OSM software when something occurs that might affect
the performance of a resource managed by OSM.
OSM Notification Director
A component of the OSM software. The OSM Notification Director receives notifications
and incident reports from the server, displays them, and allows you to take action or
forward the incident reports to your service provider for resolution.
