interfaces of the climcmd tool and SCF. For more information, see the NonStop I/O Essentials
Installation and Quick Start Guide.
• NonStop Software Essentials – a software installation and management tool for NonStop
servers, providing a replacement for the DSM/SCM Planner Interface and certain Host
Maintenance Interface functions that is more secure, easier to use, and overcomes other
shortcomings of DSM/SCM. For more information, see the NonStop Software Essentials
Installation and Quick Start Guide.
OSM Client Interfaces
OSM contains these system management applications and tools.
• OSM Service Connection – A Java-based application, with client and server delivered on a
site update tape (SUT) and accessed from a system console or qualified PC through a Microsoft
Internet Explorer browser session.
• OSM Guided Procedures and Service Actions – Integrated into the OSM Service Connection,
they are launched by actions from within the application (rather than separately through the
Start menu) and provide documentation and automation (where possible) to guide you through
hardware replacements and other serviceability tasks.
• OSM Event Viewer – Also a browser-based application, the OSM Event Viewer allows you
to retrieve, view, and save EMS events from event logs. It also provides event details such as
cause, effect, and recovery information.
• OSM Low-Level Link – Designed primarily for down-system support, it is used to configure
CLIMs and other new modules, update CLIM software and firmware, and update HSS firmware
for most J-series systems.
• OSM System Inventory Tool – Installed as part of the OSM Console Tools. It allows you to
create and save hardware or firmware inventory data from one or more NonStop systems
running OSM.
• Terminal Emulator File Converter – Installed as part of the OSM Console Tools, this tool converts
your OSM Service Connnection-related OutsideView session files to an
MR-Win6530-compatible format.
• OSM Certificate Tool – Installed as part of the OSM Console Tools (but used for J-series only),
this tool creates certificates necessary to establish a trust relationship between OSM and the
Onboard Administrators (OAs) in the blade enclosures. For more information, see the online
help available within the OSM Certificate Tool.
• NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS Configuration Wizard – Installed as part of the OSM
Console Tools, it can be used to configure and manage DHCP and DNS services on your
dedicated service LAN or migrate those services, as well as BOOTP services for most J-series
systems between NonStop system consoles and CLIMs.
For more information on individual OSM applications, see Section 5, Getting Started With OSM
Applications or the online help within each application or guided procedure.
