Overview of OSM Applications
Overview of OSM Applications
HP NonStop Open System Management (OSM) applications perform a variety of
functions, such as:
•
The OSM Low-Level Link Application is primarily used for down-system support,
such as Two startup event stream windows and two startup TACL windows are
automatically launched on the system console configured to receive them. on
page 15-6, Recovery Operations for Processors on page 9-9, and configuring
IOAM, VIO, and P-switch modules (see the NonStop NSxxxx Hardware Installation
Manual for your Integrity NonStop NS16000, NS14000, or NS1000 server).
•
The OSM Service Connection is used to monitor, inventory, and perform actions
on system and ServerNet Cluster components. See Using OSM to Monitor the
System on page 3-7 for an overview of how the OSM Service Connection is used
to monitor your system components.
•
The OSM Event Viewer is used for Section 4, Monitoring EMS Event Messages.
•
The OSM Notification Director is used for Monitoring Problem Incident Reports on
page 3-12 and dialing out information to your service provider.
Launching OSM Applications
Several operations tasks in this guide require you to log on to one of the OSM
applications. Assuming that all OSM client components have been installed on the
system console, launch the desired application as described below, then see the online
help (or default home page, for the browser-based OSM applications) for log-on
instructions.
To launch OSM applications: Start>Programs>HP OSM. Then select the name of the
application to launch:
•
OSM Service Connection
•
OSM Low-Level Link Application
•
OSM Notification Director>Start/Stop
•
OSM Event Viewer
•
OSM System Inventory Tool
The OSM Service Connection and the OSM Event Viewer are browser-based
applications. Assuming that the OSM Console Tools component has been installed on
the system console, the Start menu shortcuts launch a default web page for these two
applications. From that page, you can select the system of your choice from the list of
bookmarks displayed in the left column of the page (available bookmarks include those
that were user-created during previous sessions and those converted automatically
from an existing OSM system list). If no bookmarks are available, the web page also
contains instructions on how to access these applications by entering a system URL as
an Internet Explorer address. The system console-based OSM Console Tools
component is not required to use the OSM Service Connection and the OSM Event
