Before using OSM applications to manage your system:
Configure the server using the OSM Low-Level Link.●
Configure service provider access using the OSM Notification Director.●
Configure the OSM Notification Director during OSM installation to run as a Windows
Service, which allows it to run without requiring a Windows logon. For more
information, see Installing OSM Components.
●
Note: It is possible to start and run a new server without performing OSM configuration.
However, HP strongly recommends that you perform OSM configuration tasks
shortly after installing a new system. If you do not perform OSM configuration, your
system will have certain user, security, and network limitations.
For complete configuration procedures, refer to the OSM Low-Level Link online help and the
OSM Notification Director online help.
Configuring the Server
You must configure these server components using the OSM Low-Level Link:
Use this dialog box To
Network Configure unique MSP IP addresses for your primary and backup LANs.
Startup Windows
Define the workstations authorized to display the startup TACL prompt
and receive the event messages that occur during a system load.
MSP Users
Define the users that are authorized to connect to the master service
processors (MSPs) on your server. MSP users have access to your server
using the OSM Low-Level Link only and are not user names for the OSM
Service Connection.
