4 OSM and Other HP Client-Based Components
OSM Client-Based Applications
OSM client-based components are installed on new system console shipments and also delivered
by an OSM installer on the HP NonStop System Console (NSC) Installer DVD. The NSC DVD also
delivers all other client software required for managing and servicing all NonStop systems. (Unlike
OSM server, which has one version for G-series and another for H- and J-series, the client-based
software is the same for all three RVU threads.) Installation instructions are included in the NonStop
System Console Installer Guide.
The OSM Master installer installs (or upgrades) the following components onto your NonStop
system console:
• OSM Low-Level Link (T0633) – used mostly for down-system support.
• OSM Console Tools (T0634) – which installs:
With version T0634 ABD and later, Apache OpenOffice has been added to the OSM
Console Tools. It provides a method to view spreadsheets, documents, and presentations
◦
on the system console. For example, the .csv (or comma delimited) files created by
OSM, such as hardware inventories created by the OSM System Inventory Tool and the
Access Control List reports and saved Multi-Resource Views created in the OSM Service
Connection.
◦ Start menu shortcuts and default home pages for the OSM Service Connection and OSM
Event Viewer (the two browser-based OSM applications that reside on the server and are
not installed on the system console). While not necessary for using these applications,
the home pages display bookmarks for easy access to your NonStop systems.
◦ With version T0634 AAL and later, the “OSM System Inventory Tool”.
◦ With version T0634 AAN and later, a “Terminal Emulator File Converter” to convert
OSM Service Connection-related OutsideView session files to MR-Win6530 format. For
more information on the conversion tool, see the NonStop System Console Installer Guide
and the online help available within the conversion tool.
◦ With version T0634 AAQ and later, the “OSM Certificate Tool”, which is used for
NonStop BladeSystems only, to facilitate communication between OSM and the Onboard
Administrators (OAs) in the blade enclosures. It is used to create and upload certificates
so that OSM can invoke the OA web interface, logon to an OA, and make SOAP calls
without having to provide a username and password each time.
◦ With version T0634 ABB and later, the “NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS
Configuration Wizard”, which replaces the CLIM Boot Service Configuration Wizard. It
is used to configure the DHCP, DNS, FTP, TFTP, and BOOTP servers as needed.
◦ With version T0634 ABB and later, the “Down System CLIM Firmware Update Tool”,
which can be used for updating firmware/BIOS for all CLIM components during planned
system down time.
NOTE: The OSM Notification Director is no longer supported for remote notification (dial-out)
services. Remote notifications are now provided by “HP Insight Remote Support Advanced”
(page 39). The equivalent of remote connection (dial-in) is now provided by Remote Desktop, as
described in the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
