site update tape (SUT)
site update tape (SUT). One or more tapes that contain each target system’s site-specific
subvolume and various products. Each product contains a softdoc and a complete set
of files. A SUT is delivered with every new HP NonStop™ system and can be ordered
whenever a new release version update (RVU) of the system software is available. A
full SUT contains the current RVU of the HP NonStop operating system and all product
software that has been ordered with it. A partial SUT contains a subset of products for
the current RVU.
SIV. See system interrupt vector (SIV).
skin effect. The tendency of higher frequency signals to flow on the outside surface, or
skin, of a conductor instead of through the entire cross-section of the conductor. The
result is less total conductor area available for carrying current and an increase in the
resistance of the conductor at that high signal frequency.
slot. (1) A physical, labeled space for a customer-replaceable unit (CRU) or field-
replaceable unit (FRU) that is part of an enclosure or another CRU or FRU. (2) Part of
the group, module, slot naming convention for uniquely identifying the logical location
of a component within a system. A slot is a subset of a module.
slot location. A three-number identifier for a particular slot on a system that consists of the
group number, module number, and slot number; for example, 02,01,08 (group 02,
module 01, slot 08).
SLSA subsystem. See ServerNet LAN Systems Access (SLSA) subsystem.
small computer system interface (SCSI). An ANSI-standard protocol used by a controller
to access a device.
SMB. See serial maintenance bus (SMB).
SMB domain. See serial maintenance bus (SMB) domain.
SMF. See HP NonStop™ 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
(SANMAN).
SMP. See Security Manager Process (SMP).
SMT. See SWAN manager task (SMT).
snapshot. (1) A file that can be created by OSM and TSM client software to record
information about the status of an HP NonStop™ server, including the attributes values
