Launching an OSM Service Connection
1. To initiate an OSM Service Connection session, either:
• Open a new Internet Explorer browser window (but not from within a current browser window). In the
Internet Explorer Address box, enter a system URL:
http://system_IP_address:9990
(example: http://155.155.155.155:9990)
http://system_host_name:9990
(example: http://himaxb.cac.cpqcorp.net:9990)
• If OSM Console Tools is installed on your PC and you have an existing OSM system list or have saved
your own OSM bookmarks previously (as described in Using OSM Bookmarks)
a. From the Start menu, select:
Start>Programs>HP OSM>OSM Service Connection
b. In the left column of the home page, select a bookmark for the system you want to access.
2. The first time you try to establish a service connection you are prompted “Click here to download Java Runtime
Environment.” Select Open and install it according to the instructions.Then close the current browser, open a
new browser, and repeat Step 1.
Also, a dialog box appears, asking if you “trust the signed applet distributed by Hewlett-Packard.”You must
select Yes or Always to establish a service connection. If you choose Always, you are not asked this question
in subsequent OSM logon attempts.
3. If you have Java Runtime Environment, a Log On dialog box prompts you for a valid username and password.
4. The OSM Service Connection launches in a secondary window (to avoid displaying the standard Internet Explorer
toolbar, with features incompatible with OSM sessions). The initial window displays the message "You may now
close this window."
