discovery. For the SM package, the process of identifying the resources that exist on a
NonStop S-series server. See also incremental discovery and initial discovery.
Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM). A
graphical user interface (GUI)-based program that installs new software and creates a
new HP NonStop Kernel operating system. DSM/SCM creates a new software revision
and activates the new software on the target system.
DSM/SCM. See Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration Manager
(DSM/SCM).
Enterprise Storage System (ESS). A collection of magnetic disks, their controllers, and the
disk cache in a stand-alone cabinet or cabinets. These disks are configured by an
attached console and presented to the attached server as logical volumes that can be
a fraction of a physical volume or can span volumes.
Event Management Service (EMS). A Distributed Systems Management (DSM) product
that provides event collection, event logging, and event distribution facilities. EMS
provides different event descriptions for interactive and programmatic interfaces, lets
an operator or an application select specific event-message data, and allows for
flexible distribution of event messages within a system or network.
Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter (FCSA). A ServerNet adapter that transmits data
between an HP NonStop™ S-series server and Fibre Channel storage devices. This
ServerNet adapter is installed in an IOAM enclosure.
Fibre Channel switch (FC switch). Networking hardware that can connect an Enterprise
Storage System and an HP NonStop™ S-series server. This switch allows any-to-any
connectivity.
firmware. Code in memory that is necessary for the power-up initialization and
communication with a host or device. The software for components of the ServerNet
architecture (for example, an adapter) is called firmware. Some firmware for ServerNet
components is downloaded when the system or component is loaded.
GCSC. See Global Customer Support Center (GCSC).
Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA). A single-port ServerNet adapter that
provides 1000 megabits/second (Mbps) data transfer rates between HP NonStop™
S-series systems and Ethernet LANs. A GESA can be directly installed in slots 51
through 54 of an I/O enclosure and slots 53 and 54 of a processor enclosure.
Two versions of the GESA are available:
•
3865 GESA-C (T523572): a single-port copper version compliant with the 1000
Base-T standard (802.3ab)
•
3865 GESA-F (T523572): a single-port fiber version compliant with the 1000
Base-SX standard (802.z)
