2 Preparing for OSM
This section describes how to prepare for migration to OSM software, including:
• “System Console Requirements” (page 11)
• “Server Software Requirements” (page 11)
• “Preparing the Hardware and LAN Environment” (page 12)
System Console Requirements
NonStop system consoles used to manage NonStop NS-series servers or NonStop BladeSystems
must be running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008, as configured and
shipped by HP. Those consoles will meet memory requirements for using OSM and NSC console
software. For more information, see the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
While it is recommended to install HP SIM and SIM plug-ins, such as Insight Remote Support
Advanced, on a separate Central Management Server (CMS), installing those products on a
qualified NonStop system console is supported. For more information, see HP SIM for NonStop
Manageability, located in the NonStop Technical Library.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version required by OSM -- When you install OSM Console Tools
from the NonStop System Console DVD, the installer will automatically download the version of
JRE required for the OSM System Inventory Tool. In the event that your version of the OSM Service
Connection requires a newer JRE version, you will be prompted to download and install it from
the NonStop system when you attempt to establish an OSM Service Connection.
Minimum Required Java Runtime Environment VersionOSM Server Version
Java 6 Update 7Before T08682 ACN
Java 6 Update 24Starting with T08682 ACN (H06.23 & J06.12)
Java 6 Update 35, but not Java 7Starting with T08682 ADD
NOTE: OSM does not support Java 7 at this time.
To use OSM software on other PC-based consoles, they must meet the following minimum
requirements:
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, or Microsoft Windows
Server 2008 operating system
• Minimum processor for Windows XP-based console: at least 1 GB of memory
• Minimum processor for Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 console, if HP Insight
Remote Support Advanced is installed on it: at least 4 GB of memory.
• Internet Explorer 6.0 or later is required for the browser-based OSM applications. The latest
supported version is available, , along with all other client software needed by OSM, from
the HP NonStop System Console Installer DVD.
Server Software Requirements
For both H-series and J-series RVUs, there are no prerequisites for using OSM. The OSM Service
Connection Suite (T0682) and all server-based requisites are on the SUT.
Section 3, OSM Server-Based Components, describes how to configure and start OSM server
processes.
Section 4, OSM and Other HP Client-Based Components, describes the OSM client-based SPRs.
