localization
localization. The process of adapting computer interfaces, data, and documentation to the
culturally accepted way of presenting information in the culture. Sometimes referred to
as “L10N,” derived from the 10 letters between the initial “L” and the final “N” of the
word “localization.”
local mount. In the Network File System (NFS), a mount that attaches the fileset
associated with a server to the specified mount point within the local directory
hierarchy. The local mount is visible within the NFS subsystem and makes the files
associated with the server available through the path associated with the local mount
point.
local node. See local system.
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
.
local processor. A processor in the same node as the ServerNet cluster monitor process
(SNETMON) that is reporting status about the processor.
local system. From the perspective of a particular SNETMON, the system or node on
which that SNETMON is running. From the perspective of a Compaq TSM operator,
the system to which the operator is logged on. One of the characteristics of a local
system is that it does not have active external ServerNet paths to itself. See also
remote system
.
logical device name. The name assigned to an I/O process during its configuration. Other
processes use the logical device name when issuing Guardian procedure calls to the
I/O process.
logical device number. A number that identifies a particular I/O device in the system.
Logical device numbers are assigned to physical I/O devices.
logical disk volume. A hardware device or device pair that provides persistent, highly
accessible storage for data on a medium that is either magnetic or optical.
logical interface (LIF). A process that allows an application or another process to
communicate with data communications hardware.
logical memory unit (LMU). A group of four memory units. Memory on a processor and
memory board (PMB) is divided into two LMUs. One LMU contains memory units in
slots MS1 through MS4; the other LMU contains memory units in slots MS5 through
MS8. An LMU must have memory units installed either in all of its slots or in none of its
slots. See also memory unit
.
logic board (LB). A printed wiring assembly (PWA) on which computer circuits (chips and
wiring) are mounted. One type of logic board is a processor and memory board (PMB);
another type is a multifunction I/O board (MFIOB).
