NSKCOM
NSKCOM. The command interface to the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF).
NSKCOM is the primary tool for monitoring, configuring, and managing
kernel-managed swap files. See also Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF).
NSX. See Tandem Network Statistics Extended (NSX).
offline. Used to describe tasks that can be performed only when the system is down. Contrast
with online.
OM model. See operations management model.
OMF. See Tandem Object Monitoring Facility (OMF).
online. Used to describe tasks that can be performed while the system is up. Contrast with
offline.
online dump. A copy of a NonStop TM/MP audited disk file written to a tape or disk
volume.
online-ready site. A fully operational backup site (also known as a hot site) that has all
necessary hardware and software. Archived data is sent to the operational-ready site but
is not loaded onto the system until a disaster occurs.
ONS. See Open Notification Service (ONS).
Open Notification Service (ONS). A data encapsulation and forwarding server that gathers
EMS events from the system event log, translates them into Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) trap format, and forwards them to the SNMP Agent,
thereby facilitating delivery of Tandem subsystem-specific data to problem management
components that comply with SNMP and that are external to the Tandem system.
Open System Services (OSS). An open system environment available for interactive or
programmatic use with the Tandem NonStop Kernel. Processes that run in the OSS
environment use the OSS application program interface; interactive users of the OSS
environment use the OSS shell for their command interpreter.
operational-ready site. A fully operational backup site (also known as a hot site) that has all
necessary hardware and software. Archived data is sent to the operational-ready site but
is not loaded onto the system until a disaster occurs.
operations area. The area where you locate the computer systems and peripherals, for
example a computer room or an office.
operations management. The operation and management of systems and networks in
support of your business. Planning for operations management includes establishing and
fulfilling service-level agreements, defining and understanding the OM model, and
optimizing the features of Tandem systems and software. See also operations
management model.
