What Changed From TSM to OSM
New Look-and-Feel
Functional Differences Between OSM and TSM
The OSM client components are installed on a PC workstation that serves as the system console. The OSM
server components are installed on the NonStop server running the HP NonStop operating system.
Server-Based Components
OSM comprizes the following server-based components:
OSM Connection Library
OSM Provider Interface Library
OSM Configuration
OSM XML API
OSM CIMOM
OSM Service Provider
OSM Event Viewer
OSM Web based suite, which includes the OSM Service Connection
For information on how to configure and start OSM server-based processes and components, see the OSM
Migration Guide.
Client-Based Components
T0632 -- OSM Notification Director -- Remote services (dial-in, dial-out)
T0633 -- OSM Low-Level Link -- Down-system support
T0634 -- OSM Console Tools -- Start menu shortcuts and default home pages for easy access to the OSM
Service Connection and OSM Event Viewer (browser-based OSM applications that are not installed on
the system console).
Caution: Only system consoles provided by HP are supported for use with the OSM applications. To
preserve the integrity of software running on system consoles, do not install any software
applications on your system consoles other than the preinstalled software. Compromising the
software on a system console might leave you unable to communicate with the server when
it is down.
