OSM and TSM Software
OSM and TSM Software
Either HP Open System Management (OSM) or (its predecessor) Compaq TSM
software can be used to monitor and service a ServerNet cluster (in addition to your
NonStop servers. The OSM supports all ServerNet cluster topologies on both G-series
and H-series. TSM supports only the star topologies (star, split-star, and tri-star), not
the newer layered topology, and TSM does not support H-series. For more information,
see Appendix H, Using OSM to Manage the Star Topologies.
OSM client-based applications are preloaded on system consoles (formerly known as
TSM workstations) shipped after G06.21. Consoles can be upgraded to the latest
OSM or TSM client software from the NonStop System Console (NSC) Installer CD.
System consoles communicate with NonStop S-series servers over an Ethernet LAN.
LAN connections and LAN planning are described in more detail in Section 2, Planning
for Installation.
Table 1-4 lists the OSM and TSM client applications and provides some examples of
how you can use them to manage a ServerNet cluster:
Note. SCF commands also are available for gathering information. You can use SCF
commands to check the status of SNETMON, SANMAN, the Expand-over-ServerNet line-
handler processes, cluster switches, IPC connectivity, and more. For details, see Section 8,
SCF Commands for SNETMON and the ServerNet Cluster Subsystem, and Section 9, SCF
Commands for the External ServerNet SAN Manager Subsystem.
