Compaq TSM server software
same role as that of HP Tandem Maintenance and Diagnostic System (TMDS),
Syshealth, and Remote Maintenance Interface (RMI) on earlier systems.
Compaq TSM server software. The component of the Compaq TSM package that runs on
an HP NonStop™ S-series server. When the HP NonStop Kernel operating system is
running, the TSM client software on a TSM workstation communicates with a server
through the TSM server software. See also Compaq TSM client software.
Compaq TSM Service Application. A component of the Compaq TSM client software. The
TSM Service Application enables you to communicate with an HP NonStop™ S-series
server when the HP NonStop Kernel operating system is running. When the operating
system is not running, communication must take place using the TSM Low-Level Link
Application. See also Compaq TSM Low-Level Link Application.
Compaq TSM workstation. A PC-compatible workstation on which the Compaq TSM client
software is running. The TSM workstations configured as the primary and backup
dial-out points are referred to as the primary and backup system consoles.
complex instruction-set computing (CISC). A processor architecture based on a large
instruction set, characterized by numerous addressing modes, multicycle machine
instructions, and many special-purpose instructions. Contrast with reduced
instruction-set computing (RISC).
compliance. The testing and verification process that precedes X/Open licensing.
computer-room power center (CRPC). The equipment that conditions and distributes
facility power to computer-room equipment. The CRPC typically houses an
electrostatically shielded isolation transformer, power distribution panels (PDPs), a
main shunt-trip circuit breaker, and voltage indicators. Also referred to as a power
distribution unit (PDU) or power distribution center.
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.
conduit. A tubular raceway, usually constructed of rigid or flexible metal, through which
insulated power and ground conductors or data cables are run. Nonmetallic conduits,
although available, are not recommended.
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 HP
NonStop™ Kernel operating system. HP recommends that you avoid making any
changes to your CONFAUX file.
