HP Integrity NonStop J-Series - Manual (Page 49)

2 Preparing the OSM Environment
To plan your network LAN configuration and connect your system console so it can communicate
with your NonStop server through OSM client/server software, see the NonStop NS-Series Hardware
Installation Manual (shipped with every new system; also available in the Hardware Service and
Maintenance collection of NTL).
The OSM Configuration Guide describes how to configure and start OSM server-side processes.
The NonStop System Console Installer CD includes the client software required for OSM use. (The
OSM Service Connection and OSM Event Viewer are server-based components, accessed through
a browser session from the console or any qualified PC.) To install the OSM client components
and other required software, see the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
Installing OSM Components
System Console-Based Components
The NonStop System Console Installer Guide, available in NTL and provided in hard copy with
the NonStop System Console Installer CD, describes how to install the OSM client components
and other required HP and third-party software.
Server-Based Components
Installation of server-based OSM components is documented in the T0682 softdoc. The OSM
Configuration Guide lists all server-based OSM components (combined into T0682) and describes
how to configure and start OSM server-side processes.
Using OSM in Conjunction with HP SIM
HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), which provides infrastructure management for all HP servers
and storage, now supports the NonStop platform via a Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)
provided by OSM. HP SIM is capable of discovering NonStop systems, displaying and forwarding
alarms generated by OSM, and collecting system and device data. Sources of information regarding
HP SIM include:
• Whether or not HP SIM is right for your environment -- HP SIM provides different values to
different customer environments. Before installing HP SIM on your system console, see Support
Note S05135 for information on the usage model of HP SIM for different customer
environments.
• Installing the HP SIM client -- Starting with Update 7, the NonStop System Console Installer
kit (S7X-SWV1/HNSC-SWV1) includes an HP SIM CD from which you can install HP SIM.
For hardware and software requirements and installation information, see the NonStop System
Console Installer Guide.
• Configuration -- Before using HP SIM in the NonStop environment, you must enable secure
sockets layer (SSL) support in OSM. For more information, see the OSM Configuration Guide.
