Purpose of NSDAdminServer and NSDEnvironServer
The NonStop Distributed Component Console (called the Console) requires support services from the
systems it manages. The processes that provide these support services are the NSDAdminServer and the
NSDEnvironServer.
For any given NonStop Kernel system, there is a single NSDAdminServer process with which the
Console communicates. There are one or more NSDEnvironServer processes, depending on the number
of security domains that have been configured.
The NSDAdminServer process is the initial point of contact for a Console that needs to manage
components on the system. This process provides information and services that are independent of any
particular security domain, for example:
Information about the available security domains
Logon authentication for a security domain
System configuration information such as the available CPUs, disks, and tcp processes
Management of security domains
