Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)

SCF is a Distributed Systems Management (DSM) interface that can be used

interactively to control, configure, and monitor the Expand subsystem. The SCF

interfaces to the Expand and wide area network (WAN) subsystems are used to

configure and manage the Expand subsystem. The SCF interface to the Expand

subsystem is described in Section 14, Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) Commands.

The SCF interface to the WAN subsystem is described in the WAN Subsystem

Configuration and Management Manual.

Event Management Service (EMS)

EMS is a DSM interface that provides event collection, logging, and distribution

facilities. Both the Expand and ServerNet adapter subsystems report events to EMS.

Event messages are described in the Operator Messages Manual.

Availability Statistics and Performance (ASAP)

The Availability Statistics and Performance (ASAP) monitoring tool provides graphical

and tabular displays of system and network object performance, object state, and

entity threshold information. The Availability Statistics and Performance Extension

(ASAPX) product integrates and extends ASAP monitoring capabilities to single and

multi-node application environments. For more information on ASAP, see these

manuals: ASAP Client Manual, ASAP Server Manual, ASAP Extension Manual, and

ASAP Migration Guide for NSX and OMF Users.

Measure

Measure is a tool for monitoring the performance of NonStop servers. In an Expand

network, Measure can help determine node-to-node activity and processor and line

use by Expand line-handler processes. Measure is described in the Measure User’s

Guide.

OSM Interface

The HP Open System Management (OSM) product is the system management tool for

Integrity NonStop NS-series systems. OSM offers a browser-based interface that

provides scalability and high performance. OSM is required for support of Expand

functionality. For more information on OSM, see the OSM User’s Guide.

Note. For more information on managing Expand using SCF, see Part III of this manual,
