Physical view
Physical view. One of several views of a server available in the view pane of the
Management window of the OSM Service Connection, TSM Service Application, and
OSM and TSM Low-Level Link. A Physical view of a server is a view of all the
enclosures and is intended to represent the actual floor plan at the site. A Physical
view of an enclosure is a visual representation of the physical placement of supported
resources inside the enclosure.
Planner Interface. A graphical user interface (GUI) to the Distributed Systems
Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM) that runs on the host
system. It provides an interface to all the host DSM/SCM planner functions.
position-independent code (PIC). Executable program or library code that is designed to
be loaded and executed at any virtual memory address, without any modification.
Addresses that can be modified by the loader do not appear in PIC code, only in data
that can be modified by the loader.
processor multifunction (PMF) CRU. (1) A NonStop S-series server customer-replaceable
unit (CRU) that contains a power supply, service processor (SP), ServerNet router 1,
Ethernet controller, three ServerNet addressable controllers (SACs), and a processor
and memory system in a single unit. The PMF CRU consists of three subassemblies:
the processor and memory board (PMB), the multifunction I/O board (MFIOB), and the
power supply subassembly. (2) A collective term for a PMF CRU and PMF 2 CRU
where a distinction between the two types of CRUs is not required.
processor multifunction (PMF) 2 CRU. a NonStop S-series server customer-replaceable
unit (CRU) that contains a power supply, service processor (SP), ServerNet router 2,
Ethernet controller, three ServerNet addressable controllers (SACs), and a processor
and memory system in a single unit. The PMF 2 CRU consists of three subassemblies:
the processor and memory board (PMB), the multifunction I/O board (MFIOB), and the
power supply subassembly.
RELOAD. an HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL) command to load from
disk (over the ServerNet system area network [ServerNet SAN]) the HP NonStop
Kernel operating system image into the memory of the processor.
SCSI. See small computer system interface (SCSI).
ServerNet cluster. A network of servers (nodes) connected together using the ServerNet
protocol for interprocessor communication across a cluster and within its nodes. A
ServerNet cluster offers linear system expansion beyond the 8-processor or
16-processor limits of a single server, achieving comparable speeds for internal and
external ServerNet communication.
ServerNet expansion board (SEB). (1) A connector board that plugs in to the backplane to
allow one or more ServerNet cables to exit the rear of the enclosure. The SEBs and
ServerNet cables allow processors in one group to communicate with processors in
another group. Each SEB provides either the ServerNet X fabric or the ServerNet Y
