Each login has one login name.

logon sequence. The process through which the HP NonStop™ S-series server to be

managed is determined, the security constraints to interact with that server are met,

and a connection with that server is established.

low-level link. A connection between the Compaq TSM client software running on a TSM

workstation and the master service processors (MSPs) on an HP NonStop™ S-series

server. When the HP NonStop Kernel operating system is not running, communication

must take place over a low-level link. You can also communicate with a NonStop

S-series server over a low-level link when the operating system is running. See also

service connection

low PIN. A process identification number (PIN) that is in the range 0 through 254. Contrast

with high PIN

MAC address. See media access control (MAC) address.

main bonding jumper. The connection between the grounded circuit conductor and the

equipment grounding conductor at the service.

main memory. Data storage, specifically the chips that store the programs and data

currently in use by a processor. On HP NonStop™ S-series servers, main memory is

stored on the processor and memory board (PMB) in the processor multifunction

(PMF) customer-replaceable unit (CRU) and is cleared when the system is powered

off.

main service entrance. The enclosure containing connection panels and switchgear,

located at the point where the utility power lines enter the building.

Maintenance Interface. See Archive and Database Maintenance Interface.

management process. A process through which an application issues commands to a

subsystem. A management process can be part of a subsystem or it can be associated

with more than one subsystem; in the latter case, the management process is logically

part of each subsystem. Subsystem Control Point (SCP) is the management process

for all subsystems controlled by Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).

manager. (1) For an HP 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
