nonclustered
into logical lines of input. This mode is sometimes called block mode or transparent
mode. Contrast with canonical input mode.
nonclustered. Lacking the quality of belonging to a cluster.
nonconfigured object. An object that comes into existence after Subsystem Control
Facility (SCF) is running and that was created in response to activity outside the SCF
environment. An SCF STATUS command can display the name of a nonconfigured
object, but its state is UNKNOWN.
nonessential firmware. Code that is used for support routines such as self-test diagnostics
and that can be overwritten during flash programming without affecting the next
power-up operation. Contrast with essential firmware.
noninteractive mode. A mode of operation that usually involves a command file (an EDIT
file that contains a series of commands). Contrast with interactive mode.
nonlinear load. Electrical load for which the instantaneous current is not proportional to the
instantaneous voltage. Consequently, the local impedance varies with the voltage.
nonsensitive command. A command that can be issued by any user or program that is
allowed access to a subsystem—that is, a command on which the subsystem imposes
no further security restrictions. For Subsystem Control Facility (SCF), nonsensitive
commands are those that cannot change the state or configuration of objects; most of
them are information commands. Contrast with sensitive command.
NonStop™ zone. A branch of the power-distribution system that provides power directly to
HP NonStop computer equipment.
NonStop™ Kernel operating system. See HP NonStop™ Kernel operating system.
NonStop™ ServerNet Cluster. See HP NonStop™ ServerNet Cluster (ServerNet Cluster).
NonStop™ TCP/IP. See HP NonStop™ TCP/IP.
NonStop™ TCP/IP process. See HP NonStop™ TCP/IP process.
NonStop™ TCP/IP subsystem. See HP NonStop™ TCP/IP subsystem.
NonStop™ TCP/IPv6. An HP product that adds IP version 6 (IPv6) functionality to the
parallel library TCP/IP product. IPv6 is a TCP/IP protocol that extends the IP version 4
(IPv4) of 32 bits to 128 bits. NonStop TCP/IPv6 can be run in three modes: INET (only
IPv4 and is a direct replacement for parallel library TCP/IP), INET 6 (only IPv6), and
Dual (both IPv4 and IPv6 communications).
NonStop™ TMF. See HP NonStop™ Transaction Manager.
normal mode. Electromagnetic interference that occurs between current-carrying
conductors (for example, line to neutral).
