Enterprise Storage System (Optional)
An Enterprise Storage System (ESS) is a collection of magnetic disks, their controllers, and a
disk cache in one or more standalone racks. For more information about these connection types,
see your Hewlett Packard Enterprise service provider.
NOTE: The Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) switch power cords might not be
compatible with the rack PDU. Contact your Hewlett Packard Enterprise service provider to order
replacement power cords, if needed.

The FC HBA interfaces on the Storage CLIM must be ordered.
For fault tolerance, the primary and backup paths to an ESS logical device (LDEV) must go
through different Fibre Channel switches.
Some Storage Area Network (SAN) procedures, such as reconfiguration, can cause the affected
switches to pause. If the pause is long enough, I/O failure occurs on all paths connected to that
switch. If both the primary and the backup paths are connected to the same switch, the LDEV
goes down. See the documentation that accompanies the ESS.
System Management Tools
OSM Package
The HPE Open System Management (OSM) product is the required system management tool
for NonStop systems. There are several new OSM tools and online help for managing the NS7.
For more information on these changes, see the OSM Configuration Guide or the help within the
OSM tool.
For more information on using OSM tools to manage the HPE Maintenance LAN and system
console configurations, have your service provider refer to the Nonstop Dedicated Service LAN
Installation and Configuration Guide.
Onboard Administrator (OA) and Integrated Lights Out (iLO)
The OA is the enclosure's management, processor, subsystem, and firmware base and supports
the c7000 enclosure and NonStop Server Blades. The OA software is integrated with OSM and
the Integrated Lights Out (iLO) management interface. The iLO enables you to perform activities
on the system from a remote location and provides anytime-access to system management
information such as hardware health, event logs, and configuration to troubleshoot the NonStop X
Server Blades.
The OA can generate a full inventory, status and configuration report of all the components the
OA supports; this is the so called SHOW ALL report. For details on how to generate this report,
