Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet adapter (G4SA)
Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet adapter (G4SA). A multiport ServerNet adapter that
provides 1000 megabits/second (Mbps) data transfer rates between HP
NonStop S-series systems and Ethernet LANs. The G4SA is the only LAN adapter
supported for the I/O adapter module (IOAM) enclosure, and it is installed in slots 1, 2,
3, 4, and 5 of an (IOAM). Although the G4SA supersedes the Ethernet 4 ServerNet
adapter (E4SA), Fast Ethernet ServerNet adapter (FESA), and the Gigabit Ethernet
ServerNet adapter (GESA), it cannot be installed in a NonStop S-series enclosure.
guided procedure. A software tool that assists you in performing complex configuration or
replacement tasks on an HP NonStop S-series system. Guided procedures are
accessible from the Start menu on your system console. Examples include Replace
SEB or MSEB, Configure ServerNet Node, and Replace IOMF.
half-duplex. Transmission permitted in only one direction at a time over a data
communications line. See also full-duplex.
I/O adapter module (IOAM). A collection of modular components that provides I/O
connectivity and can include ServerNet switch boards, Fibre Channel ServerNet
adapters (FCSAs), Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapters (G4SAs), fans, and
power supplies. In the IOAM, each module is a logical entity that represents a single
service domain.
I/O adapter module enclosure (IOAM enclosure). The sheet-metal carrier that is installed
in a standard 19-inch rack and contains the IOAM components.
IOAM. See I/O adapter module (IOAM).
IOAM enclosure. See I/O adapter module enclosure (IOAM enclosure).
HP NonStop Kernel. The operating system for HP NonStop S-series systems.
HP NonStop Open System Management product. See OSM.
HP NonStop process. An HP product that supports the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) layers. TCP/IP processes are used together with
the communications line interface processor (CLIP) pNA+ to provide the transport layer
between wide area network (WAN) I/O processes and data link control (DLC) tasks,
between ConMgr and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) task,
between the WANBoot process and BOOTP tasks, and between a TSM process and a
DIAG task.
HP NonStop TCP/IP. An HP implementation of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) for the HP NonStop range of servers. See also Parallel Library
TCP/IP.
HP NonStop TCP/IPv6. An HP implementation of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) for the HP NonStop range of servers. HP NonStop TCP/IP6 has the
full functionality of the Parallel Library TCP/IP product and, in addition, provides access
to networks that use IPv6 addressing. See also Parallel Library TCP/IP.
