OSM Interfaces
OSM Service Connection
The OSM Service Connection is the primary OSM management component. You use the OSM Service
Connection to log on and establish a connection with a NonStop server. From the Management window,
you can manage the resources of your server. If your server is part of a ServerNet cluster, you can also
manage cluster resources.
OSM Notification Director
The OSM Notification Director is a component of the OSM client software package that receives,
forwards, and displays information about the servers for which it is configured. The OSM Notification
Director can be configured to run as a Windows service whether or not anyone is currently logged onto the
PC. For more information, see the OSM Notification Director online help.
If you do not configure OSM Notification Director to start automatically as a Windows service, you must
manually open it every time you start your system console. To verify that the OSM Notification Director is
running, check for the OSM Notification Director icon in the Windows system tray, located on the main
Windows task bar.
Opening the OSM Notification Director Window If It Is Running: In the Windows system tray,
double-click the OSM Notification Director icon.
Starting the OSM Notification Director If It Is Not Running: On the main Windows task bar, click
Start and then select Programs>HP OSM>OSM Notification Director>Start.

Main menu Allows you to access all OSM Notification Director dialog boxes
