LAN monitor (LANMON) process.
LAN monitor (LANMON) process. The process provided as part of the ServerNet local
area network (LAN) Systems Access (SLSA) subsystem that has ownership of the
Ethernet adapters controlled by the SLSA subsystem.
late binding. At load time, binding a symbolic reference in a dynamic-link library (DLL) to a
definition in a loadfile that appears on the program’s loadList rather than the one found
on the DLL’s linker searchList. Late binding occurs in either of these cases:
•
The loader resolves a symbol that is unresolved by any loadfile on the linker
searchList.
•
The loader binds a symbol in a DLL to the first definition it finds on the program’s
loadList, and this is not the first definition that was encountered on the linker
searchList.
For localized loadfiles, the linker and loader searchLists are the same, so late binding
does not occur.
layer number. See cluster switch layer number.
layered topology. The network topology for ServerNet clusters using the HP NonStop™
ServerNet Switch (model 6780). The layered topology can scale by adding cluster
switch layers or zones. The layered topology supports up to four layers and three
zones. See also star topology, split-star topology, and tri-star topology.
LB. See logic board (LB).
LC-LC cable. A multimode fiber cable that connects a Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter
(FCSA) to a Fibre Channel storage device or a Fibre Channel switch (FC switch).
LC-SC cable. A multimode fiber cable that connects a modular ServerNet expansion board
(MSEB) to an I/O adapter module (IOAM) or a Fibre Channel switch (FC switch).
ldev. See logical device number (ldev).
LDEV. Logical device. The HP term for a disk in the Enterprise Storage System (ESS)
.
ld utility. A utility that collects, links, and modifies code and data blocks from one or more
position-independent code (PIC) object files to produce a target TNS/R native object
file. See also nld
utility.
LED. See light-emitting diode (LED).
legacy system. An operating system that is not open but from which applications must be
ported or users transferred.
libList. The list of libraries to be loaded along with a loadfile. When linking the loadfile, the
linker constructs the libList from the names of libraries specified in the linker’s
command stream. It stores the libList within the loadfile.
