NonStop NS-Series Operations Guide (H06.12+)

You can run SCF from any workstation or terminal on the system after you are logged on. Use
SCF to:
• Configure and add an object
• Remove an object
• Begin or restore access to an object
• Stop access to an object
• Show static configuration information for an object
• Show dynamic information for an object
• Automate subsystem startup and shutdown procedures
• Power off the system
HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL)
The TACL product is the command interface to the NonStop Kernel operating system. In addition
to providing full command-interpreter facilities, you can program the TACL interface to help
you manage your system in these ways:
• Automate subsystem startup and shutdown procedures. For example, you can use TACL
statements to initialize Pathway, the TMF subsystem, the TRANSFER system, and other
subsystems.
• Run utilities and issue commands with either a fixed set of commands or a flexible set that
you can tailor at run time.
• Create a customized environment that simplifies commonly performed tasks for users.
TMFCOM
TMFCOM allows you to enter commands that initiate communication with TMF, request various
TMF operations, and terminate communication with TMF.
Web ViewPoint
Use Web ViewPoint, a browser-based product, to access the Event Viewer, Object Manager, and
Performance Monitor subsystems. Web ViewPoint monitors and displays EMS events; identifies
and lists all supported subsystems; manages NonStop server subsystems and user applications
in a secure, automated, and customizable way; monitors and graphs performance attributes and
trends; investigates and displays most active system processes; and offers simple navigation and
a point-and-click command interface.
ViewPoint
Use ViewPoint to display event messages about current or past events occurring anywhere in
the network on a set of block-mode events screens. The messages can be errors, failures, warnings,
and requests for operator actions. The events screens allow operators to monitor significant
occurrences or problems in the network as they occur. Critical events or events requiring
immediate action are highlighted.
ViewSys
ViewSys is a system resource monitor that displays processor performance statistics and resource
consumption for a set polling period. It updates the numbers automatically at the end of each
polling period, which allows you to evaluate the effects of changes as those changes are made.
ViewSys indicates the current allocation of a given resource and the percentage of that resource
used. Thus, possible resource contention problems can be detected before they become serious.
Viewing the resource allocations across processors on a running system allows you to balance
the application load more evenly. It can help you decide when to move user processes to
processors and disk files that are less busy or when to relocate partitions to disk volumes that
are less busy.
