TSM package
TSM package. A software product for NonStop S-series servers that provides the
information needed to perform functions such as querying resources and testing,
provides notification of problems on the system, and allows local or remote access to
the system for service and maintenance. TSM performs the same role as that of
TMDS, Syshealth, and Remote Maintenance Interface (RMI) on earlier NonStop
systems. TSM is not supported on Integrity NonStop NS-series servers.
TNSC. Tandem NonStop Support Center. Former name of the GCSC. See Global Customer
Support Center (GCSC).
TSM. See TSM package.
unplanned outage. Time during which a NonStop system is not capable of doing useful
work because of an unplanned interruption. Unplanned interruptions can include
failures caused by faulty hardware, operator error, or disaster.
WAN. See wide area network (WAN).
WAN concentrator. See ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrator.
WAN subsystem. See wide area network (WAN) subsystem.
WAN subsystem manager process. A process named $ZZWAN provided as part of the
wide area network (WAN) subsystem that starts and manages the WAN subsystem
objects, the WAN product process, and device objects. Subsystem Control Facility
(SCF) commands are directed to the WAN subsystem manager process for configuring
and managing the WAN subsystem and the ServerNet wide area network (SWAN)
concentrator.
wide area network (WAN). A network that operates over a larger geographical area than a
local area network (LAN)—typically, an area with a radius greater than one kilometer.
The elements of a WAN may be separated by distances great enough to require
telephone communications. Contrast with system area network (SAN).
wide area network (WAN) subsystem. The Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) subsystem
for configuration and management of WAN objects in G-series RVUs.
wild-card character. A character that stands for any possible character or characters in a
search string or in a name applying to multiple objects. In Subsystem Control Facility
(SCF) object-name templates, two wild-card characters can appear: ? (question mark)
for a single character and * (asterisk) for zero or more consecutive characters. See
also object-name template.
X.21. A digital signaling interface recommended by the International Telecommunications
Union, Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) that includes specifications
for data terminal equipment/data communications equipment (DTE/DCE) physical
interface elements, alignment of call control characters and error checking, elements of
the call control phase for circuit switched services, data transfer at or below 9600 bits
per second, and test loops.
