About This Document

This guide introduces the HP NonStop™ Open System Management (OSM) Interface, the required

system management tool for HP Integrity NonStop NS-series servers and HP Integrity NonStop

BladeSystems. Beginning with T0682 H02 ABI, the OSM server supports both H-series and J-series

RVUs, while a separate version continues to support G-series. Likewise, this manual describes OSM

for H-series and J-series; a separate version describes OSM for G-series. This manual describes

OSM requirements and how to install, configure, and start OSM components and processes. Since

Compaq TSM does not support H-series and J-series RVUs, this manual does not cover TSM migration

issues, as the G-series version does.

Supported Release Version Updates (RVUs)

This manual supports both J06.03 and subsequent J-series RVUs and H06.03 and subsequent

H-series RVUs until otherwise indicated in a replacement publication.

Intended Audience

This guide is intended for anyone who uses OSM to monitor or service NonStop BladeSystems or

NonStop NS-series servers.
