Tools and Utilities for Operations

File Utility Program (FUP)

File Utility Program (FUP)

The File Utility Program (FUP) is a component of the standard software package for the NonStop Kernel operating system. FUP software is designed to help you manage disk files, nondisk devices (printers, terminals, and tape drives), and processes (running programs) on the Integrity NonStop system. You can use FUP to create, display, and duplicate files; load data into files; alter file characteristics; and purge files.

Measure

Use the Measure program to collect and display system performance statistics about processors, processes, communication and network lines, files, disks, and terminals. Operations management personnel often use Measure to help fine-tune and balance a system.

MEDIACOM

MEDIACOM is the operator interface to the Distributed Systems Management/Tape Catalog (DSM/TC). It allows you to perform routine tape and tape-drive management operations.

NonStop NET/MASTER

NonStop NET/MASTER is used to integrate system and network management services. It serves as an alternative to the ViewPoint console application.

NSKCOM and the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF)

NSKCOM is the command interface to the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF). NSKCOM allows you to configure and manage permanently allocated swap files.

OSM Package

The HP Open System Management (OSM) product is the system management tool for Integrity NonStop systems. OSM offers a browser-based interface that improves scalability and performance and overcomes other limitations that existed in TSM. The OSM Low-Level Link has a new System Load dialog specifically for Integrity NonStop servers.

TSM does not supported Integrity NonStop NS-series servers; OSM is required.

For more information on the OSM package, including a description of the individual applications and how they differ from their TSM counterparts, see the OSM Migration and Configuration Guide and the OSM Service Connection User's Guide.
