The first time you try to establish a service connection you are prompted “Click here to
download Java Runtime Environment.” Select Open and install it according to the
instructions. Then close the current browser, open a new browser, and repeat Step 1.

Also, a dialog box appears, asking if you “trust the signed applet distributed by
Hewlett-Packard.” You must select Yes or Always to establish a service connection. If
you choose Always, you will not be asked this question in subsequent OSM logon
attempts.

If you have Java Runtime Environment, a Log On dialog box prompts you for a valid
username and password.

Using OSM Bookmarks

To create OSM bookmarks, either:

If you have an existing TSM system list, the default home page launched by using the
Start menu shortcut for the OSM Service Connection (and also for the OSM Event
Viewer) automatically converts the TSM system list to bookmarks for accessing the
systems through OSM (provided those systems are now running OSM server software).
The two bookmarks displayed per system represent the two IP addresses configured by
default for fault-tolerant service connections.

For details on migrating an existing TSM system list to a new system console (with or
without TSM installed), see the OSM Migration Guide.

You can also create your own bookmarks for future use from within the OSM Service
Connection. Once you are logged on to a system, select Tools>Create Bookmark. If you
save the bookmark to the OSM Service Connection folder automatically created in your
IE Favorites directory, these bookmarks also appear on the OSM Service Connection
home page the next time you launch it.

Verifying the OSM Service Connection State

Select Connection Status from the

Summary menu

. The Connection Status dialog box

indicates the current state of all service connection processes. Each IP address listed is
associated with a TCP/IP stack configured in the OSMCONF (OSM server configuration) file.
OSM runs as a process pair for fault tolerance, which means the configuration file has two
stacks configured by default. You must have at least two connections with a status of UP for
your OSM Service Connection session to be fault tolerant.

Before bringing down either processor 0 or 1, it is important to know the state of your service
connection on the other processor, so you do not lose your OSM Service Connection session.
