Owner manual

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.
OSM Service Connection
A component of the OSM software that enables you to communicate with a NonStop
S-series server when the NonStop Kernel operating system is running. When the
operating system is not running, communication must take place using the OSM
Low-Level Link.
OSMCONF
Optional OSM server configuration file, created from the OSMINI template if you want
to change any default configuration settings. In the absence of an OSMCONF file, the
OSM server uses default configuration settings, as listed in the OSMINI file. For more
information, see the OSM Migration Guide.
P
part number
A unique number assigned to a product. The part number can be used for ordering
purposes.
path
The route between a processor and a subsystem. If a subsystem is configured for fault
tolerance, it has both a primary path (from the primary processor) and a backup path
(from the backup processor).
