SMB domain. See serial maintenance bus (SMB) domain.
SMF. See Storage Management Foundation (SMF).
SMF PIC. See single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) plug-in card (PIC).
SMF ServerNet cable. See single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) ServerNet cable.
SMI. See ServerNet memory interface (SMI).
SMN. The mnemonic name for the external system area network manager process

snapshot. (1) For the Compaq TSM client software, a file that is created or updated and
saved on your TSM workstation each time the workstation connects to an HP
NonStop™ S-series server. The snapshot file contains information about the status of
the server and the attributes of all customer-replaceable units (CRUs) at the time the
file was saved. (2) For Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration
Manager (DSM/SCM), a list of the target system tape and disk locations, file
fingerprints for files managed by DSM/SCM, and DSM/SCM target information. The
snapshot is compiled on the target system from the target database and sent to the
host system to store in the host database. An instruction to create a snapshot is part of
every activation package sent from the host and can also be requested independently
through the Target Interface.
SNDA. See ServerNet device adapter (ServerNet/DA).
SNETMON. See ServerNet cluster monitor process (SNETMON).
SNMP. See Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
SNMP task. A task that runs in each ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrator
communications line interface processor (CLIP) as part of the WAN architecture. This
task accepts and replies to Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) request
messages.
socket. An end-point for stream-oriented communication. A socket has a file descriptor.
soft reset. An action performed on an HP NonStop™ Cluster Switch that restarts the
firmware on the cluster switch but does not interfere with ServerNet passthrough data
traffic.
