CONFxxyy file
CONFTEXT file consists of one or two paragraphs: DEFINES (optional) and
ALLPROCESSORS.
CONF xxyy file. In H-series RVUs, a saved configuration database file created by the
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) and stored in the $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF
subvolume. xxyy is the number you entered based on the version you entered as
x.y in SCF (xx indicates the base version and yy indicates the subversion). See
also configuration file.
ConMgr. See concentrator manager process (ConMgr).
control and inquiry. Those aspects of Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) object
management related to the state or configuration of an object. Such aspects include
actions that affect the state or configuration of an object, inquiries about the object, and
commands pertaining to the session environment (for example, commands that set
default values for the session).
current configuration file. See configuration file.
DEFINE. A TACL command you can use to specify a named set of attributes and values to
pass to a process.
DEFINES paragraph. An optional paragraph in the CONFTEXT configuration file that
contains one or more identifiers, each with its associated text string. The DEFINES
paragraph, if used, precedes the ALLPROCESSORS paragraph.
detailed report. A complete listing of status or configuration information provided by the
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) STATUS or INFO command when you use the
DETAIL option. Contrast with summary report.
DISK object type. The Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) object type for all disk devices
attached to your system.
dynamic process configuration. Using Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) to configure a
generic process to always start in a designated primary processor (that is, to be
fault-tolerant).
environmental parameters. Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) session parameters set by
default or by using various SCF commands. The values associated with the
environmental parameters can be examined using the ENV command.
error number. For the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI), a value that can be
assigned to a return token, or to the last field of an error token, to identify an error that
occurred. SPI defines a small set of error numbers, but most error numbers are defined
by subsystems.
Ethernet 4 ServerNet adapter (E4SA). A ServerNet adapter for Ethernet local area
networks (LANs) that contains four Ethernet ports.
