storage-pool file
storage-pool file. A file containing a list of disk volumes to be used by an Open System
Services (OSS) fileset. As these volumes are filled, more volumes can be added to the
storage-pool file.
storage subsystem. A subsystem of the HP NonStop™ operating system that handles
configuration and management of disk and tape devices in G-series release version
updates (RVUs).
storage subsystem manager process. The generic process that starts and manages disk
and tape drives. The $ZZSTO storage subsystem manager process is started and
managed by the $ZZKRN Kernel subsystem manager process through the $ZPM
persistence manager process.
store and forward routing. A form of message routing whereby a router must receive an
entire packet or message before it can start to forward the packet or message to the
next router. Contrast with wormhole routing.
STP. See shielded twisted pair (STP).
strictly conforming POSIX.1 application. An application that requires only the facilities
described in ISO/IEC IS 9945-1:1990 and the applicable computer language
standards. Such an application must accept any behavior or value described in
ISO/IEC IS 9945-1:1990 as unspecified or implementation-defined and, for symbolic
constants, accept any value permitted by ISO/IEC IS 9945-1:1990.
structured view of the user ID. A view of the HP NonStop™ operating system user ID,
normally used in the Guardian environment, that consists of either the
group-number, user-number pair of values or the group-name.user-name pair
of values.
subnet. See subnetwork.
subnetwork. A physical network within an Internet protocol (IP) network. Each IP network
can be divided into a number of subnetworks. Within a given network, each
subnetwork is treated as a separate network. Outside the network, the subnetworks
appear as part of a single network. The terms subnetwork and subnet are used
interchangeably.
subnetwork address. An extension of the Internet protocol (IP) addressing scheme that
allows a site to use a single IP address for multiple physical networks. A subnetwork
address is created by dividing the local part of an IP address into a subnetwork number
(identifying a particular subnetwork) and a host number (uniquely identifying the host
system within the subnetwork). The terms subnetwork address and subnet address are
used interchangeably.
SUB option. In some Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) subsystems, the designation that
the object name given in a command stands not just for itself but for the names of all
objects at the next-lower level in the hierarchy. The given object name can stand both
