system-managed process
system-managed process. Another name for a generic process. See gigabyte (GB).
system operator. See local operator
and remote operator.
system planner. The person who plans for the hardware and software installation of a new
system or for changes to a system already installed. This person arranges for site
preparation, schedules the installation, and completes the Installation Documentation
Packet.
system process. (1) A privileged process that comes into existence at system-load time and
exists continuously for a given configuration for as long as the processor remains
operable. (2) A NonStop operating system process, such as the memory manager, the
monitor, and the input/output (I/O) control processes. The files containing system
processes are invoked by ALLPROCESSORS paragraph entries.
system reduction. The process of making a donor system smaller by removing enclosures
from it. The enclosures removed from a donor system might be added to a target
system. Contrast with system expansion
.
system resizing. See system expansion
or system reduction.
system terminal. See system console
.
system view. A visual representation of the overall view of the system enclosures (the actual
floorplan) at a customer site.
TACL. See Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL)
.
Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL). The user interface to the NonStop
operating system. The TACL product is both a command interpreter and a command
language. Users can write TACL programs that perform complex tasks simply or
provide a consistent user interface across independently programmed applications.
HP NonStop operating system. The operating system for NonStop systems.
TSM package. A software product for NonStop S-series servers that provides the
information needed to perform functions such as querying resources and testing,
provides notification of problems on the system, and allows local or remote access to the
system for service and maintenance. TSM performs the same role as that of the HP
Tandem Maintenance and Diagnostic System (TMDS), Syshealth, and Remote
Maintenance Interface (RMI) on earlier NonStop systems.
TCP/IP process. A product, known as TCP/IP, that supports the Transmission Control
Protocol and Internet Protocol layers. TCP/IP processes are used together with the
communications line interface processor (CLIP) pNA+ to provide the transport layer
between wide area network (WAN) I/O processes and data link control (DLC) tasks,
between ConMgr and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) task, between
the WANBoot process and BOOTP tasks, and between a TSM process and a DIAG task.
