run-time linker
run-time linker. See linker.
run-time loader. See loader.
RVU. See release version update (RVU).
SAAL. See Signaling ATM Adaptation Layer (SAAL).
SAC. See ServerNet addressable controller (SAC).
SAP. See service access point (SAP).
SCF. See Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
searchList. For each loadfile, a list that is constructed and used by the linker and loader to
tell them which libraries to examine, and in which order, to locate symbol definitions
needed by that loadfile. The linker and loader construct the loadfile’s searchList in
accordance with that loadfile’s import control, which is set at link time by the loadfile’s
programmer. A loadfile’s searchList is unaffected by the import control of any other
loadfile.
semi-globalized. An import control characteristic of a loadfile that allows the loadfile first to
obtain symbols from its own definitions and then to obtain others as for a globalized
loadfile. See also searchList.
sensitive command. An SCF command that can be issued only by a user with super-group
access, by the owner of the subsystem, or by a member of the group of the owner of
the subsystem. The owner of a subsystem is the user who started that subsystem (or
any user whose application ID is the same as the server ID—the result of a PROGID
option that requires super-group access). See also nonsensitive command.
serial maintenance bus (SMB). A bus that connects service processors (SPs) within an
enclosure to each other and to the customer-replaceable units (CRUs) in the group.
ServerNet adapter. A component that connects peripheral devices to the rest of the system
though a ServerNet bus interface (SBI). A ServerNet adapter is similar in function to an
I/O controller logic board (LB) and backplane interconnect card (BIC) in NonStop K-
series servers.
ServerNet address. A virtual memory address that, when translated to a physical address,
indicates where the memory access needed by a ServerNet transaction begins. In
some cases, the translation can point to some entity other than memory, such as a
register. The ServerNet address is included in all ServerNet read request and write
request packets.
ServerNet addressable controller (SAC). An I/O controller that is uniquely addressable by
a ServerNet ID in the ServerNet fabrics. A SAC is typically implemented on some
portion of a processor multifunction (PMF) customer-replaceable unit (CRU), an I/O
multifunction (IOMF) CRU, or a ServerNet adapter.
