the group-name.user-name pair of values. For example, the structured view of the super ID
is (255, 255). The OSS environment normally uses the scalar view of this user ID, also known
as the UID, which is the value (group-number * 256) + user-number. For example, the
scalar view of the super ID is (255 * 256) + 255 = 65535.
HP NonStop™
ServerNet Cluster
(ServerNet Cluster).
The product name for the collection of hardware and software components that constitute a
storage pool.
link In the OSS file system, a directory entry for a file.
local operator The person who performs routine system operations, such as starting and stopping the system,
loading and unloading tapes, and changing the air filter. The local operator is normally the
operator of the asynchronous system console for the node.
See also operator.
login The activity by which a user establishes a locally authenticated identity on a server node. Each
login has one login name.
login name A user name associated with a session.
manager 1. For a NonStop system, the person responsible for day-to-day monitoring and maintenance
tasks associated with a software subsystem on a NonStop node.
2. For a UNIX system, any person in Management and Information Services management for the
site.
mount To make a fileset accessible to the users of a node.
mount point In the OSS file system, a directory that contains a mounted fileset. The mounted fileset can be in
a different file system.
node 1. A uniquely identified computer system connected to one or more other computer systems in
the network.
See also Expand node, storage pool.
2. An endpoint in a ServerNet fabric, such as a processor or ServerNet addressable controller
(SAC).
open system A system with interfaces that conform to international computing standards and therefore appear
the same regardless of the system’s manufacturer. For example, the OSS environment on NonStop
systems conforms to international standards such as ISO/IEC IS 9945-1:1990 (ANSI/IEEE Std.
1003.1-1990, also known as POSIX.1), national standards such as FIPS 151-2, and portions of
industry specifications such as the X/Open Portability Guide Version 4 (XPG4).
Open System
Services (OSS)
An open system environment available for interactive or programmatic use with the NonStop
Kernel operating system. Processes that run in the OSS environment usually use the OSS application
program interface. Interactive users of the OSS environment usually use the OSS shell for their
command interpreter. Synonymous with OSS environment. Contrast with Guardian.
Open System
Services (OSS)
environment
The OSS application program interface (API), tools, and utilities.
Open System
Services (OSS)
Monitor
A Guardian utility that accepts commands affecting OSS objects through an interactive Guardian
interface named the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
operator 1. A symbol, such as an arithmetic or conditional operator, that performs a specific operation
on operands.
2. In Network Control Language (NCL), a lexical element used for working on terms in expressions.
The five types of operators are parenthetical, arithmetic, Boolean, relational, and string.
3. For an HP NonStop™ system, the person or program responsible for day-to-day monitoring
and maintenance tasks associated with the HP NonStop operating system and the hardware of
a NonStop node. The operator issues commands to subsystems; retrieves, examines, and responds
to event messages; or does any combination of those things.Contrast with administrator.
See also local operator.
4. For a UNIX system, any interactive user of that system.
