Planning for the Dedicated OSM or TSM LAN
Note the following considerations regarding a public LAN:
•
Connection to a public LAN is not required for NonStop S-series installations.
•
Additional system consoles can be connected to a public LAN, but a primary or
backup (dial-out point) system console cannot be connected to a public LAN.
•
A system console connected to a public LAN can run only the Service Application
and the Event Viewer Application. A system console connected to a public LAN
cannot use the Low-Level Link Application or the Notification Director Application.
•
A public LAN can include multiple NonStop S-series servers and other types of
servers.

LAN Considerations for ServerNet Clusters
The LAN configuration you choose affects the OSM or TSM applications you will be
able to use. It also affects the number of nodes you will be able to manage from a
single system console. Note the following considerations:
•
You can log on to a server from a system console only if the server and the system
console are connected to the same Ethernet LAN.
•
OSM and TSM applications allow you to log on to and manage resources on only
one server at a time. However, you can launch multiple copies of an application on
the same system console and log on to different servers at the same time.
•
A secure, dedicated LAN is required for connecting the system consoles to all
NonStop S-series servers. Any system console on a dedicated LAN can use all
OSM or TSM applications. The dedicated LAN can be expanded to include all the
