command file
command file. An EDIT file that contains a series of commands and serves as a source of
command input.
communications line. A two-way link consisting of processing equipment, I/O devices,
protocol conventions, and cables that connect a computer to other computers.
communications line interface processor (CLIP). The major programmable device within
the ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrator, providing link-level protocol
and a software interface to the host. The CLIP stores and implements specific
communications protocols.
communications subsystem. The combination of data communications hardware and
software processes that function together as an integrated unit to provide services and
access to wide and local area networks.
concentrator manager process (ConMgr). A process provided as part of the wide area
network (WAN) subsystem. The ConMgr process runs in each processor that supports
WAN products and provides management functions to the WAN subsystem and WAN
products, such as downloading data link control (DLC) tasks to the communications
line interface processors (CLIPs) on the ServerNet wide area network (SWAN)
concentrator and selecting the preferred path for the DLC tasks.
CONFAUX file. The auxiliary configuration file created by the Distributed Systems
Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM) tools. The CONFAUX file
contains a list of the code files and system files that are needed to build the new
operating system. HP recommends that you avoid making any changes to your
CONFAUX file.
CONFBASE file. In G-series RVUs, the basic system configuration database file, which is
stored on the $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume. See also configuration file.
CONFIG file. In G-series RVUs, the current system configuration database file, which is
stored on the $SYSTEM. ZSYSCONF subvolume. See also configuration file
.
configuration. (1) The arrangement of enclosures, system components, and peripheral
devices into a working unit. (2) The definition or alteration of characteristics of an
object.
configuration file. In G-series RVUs, one of the following files: CONFBASE, CONFIG, one
or more saved configuration files named CONFxxyy, and CONFSAVE.
Configuration Utility Program (COUP). A utility used in D-series and earlier RVUs to
make online changes to the configuration of devices and controllers. COUP is part of
the Dynamic System Configuration (DSC) facility. In G-series and H-series RVUs,
COUP functions are performed by the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
configured object. A Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) object that exists at the time an
SCF subsystem completes its initialization process, or an SCF object that is brought
into existence by a command issued through the subsystem management interface.
