HP NonStop™ S-series servers
language. Users can write TACL programs that perform complex tasks simply or
provide a consistent user interface across independently programmed applications.
HP NonStop™ S-series servers. The HP NonStop servers having product numbers
beginning with the letter S . These servers implement the ServerNet architecture and
run the HP NonStop operating system.
HP NonStop™ servers. The entire line of HP NonStop servers, including Integity NonStop
NS-series servers and NonStop S-series servers.
HP NonStop™ Open System Management (OSM) Interface. Identifies software used to
manage or service HP NonStop servers.
HP NonStop™ TCP/IP process. An HP product that supports the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) 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 an OSM process and
a DIAG task.
HP NonStop™ TCP/IP subsystem. A subsystem that allows the use of HP NonStop
TCP/IP to access an HP NonStop server host from Macintosh computers, personal
computers, and UNIX workstations. Applications running on a NonStop system or in an
Expand network can transparently exchange data with NonStop TCP/IP devices.
HP NonStop™ TCP/IPv6. An HP product that adds IP version 6 (IPv6) functionality to the
parallel library TCP/IP product. IPv6 is a TCP/IP protocol that extends the IP version 4
(IPv4) of 32 bits to 128 bits. NonStop TCP/IPv6 can be run in three modes: INET (only
IPv4 and is a direct replacement for parallel library TCP/IP), INET 6 (only IPv6), and
Dual (both IPv4 and IPv6 communications).
input source. The resource from which Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) accepts
command input. SCF can accept input from a terminal or a disk file. The initial input
source is determined by the form of the RUN command used to initiate SCF. At any
time during an SCF session, the input source can be temporarily changed to execute a
series of commands from a command file.
interactive mode. A mode of operation that is characterized by having the same input and
output device (a terminal or a process) for the session. If a terminal is used, a person
enters a command and presses Return. If a process is used, the system interface waits
for the process to send a request and treats the process in the same manner as a
terminal. Contrast with noninteractive mode.
I/O adapter module (IOAM). A collection of modular components that provides I/O
connectivity and can include ServerNet switch boards, Fibre Channel ServerNet
adapters (FCSAs), Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapters (G4SAs), fans, and
power supplies. In the IOAM, each module is a logical entity that represents a single
service domain.
