In this course, you will learn the HP Integrity NonStop NB-series server architecture and basic software functionality, including functions of Open System Management (OSM), Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL), and Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) for system, disk drive, tape drive, and communications line monitoring. You will learn about functional commands used to enable system file monitoring with the File Utility Program (FUP) and system spooler monitoring with PERUSE and SPOOLCOM. You will spend 20 percent of class using HP servers in hands-on labs.
