system process
system process. (1) A privileged process that comes into existence at system-load time
and exists continuously for a given configuration for as long as the processor remains
operable. (2) An HP NonStop™ operating system process, such as the memory
manager, the monitor, and the input/output (I/O) control processes. The files containing
system processes are invoked by ALLPROCESSORS paragraph entries. (3) A part of
a single copy of the HP NonStop operating system with Open System Services (OSS)
interfaces. A system process does not have an OSS process ID.
system reduction. The process of making a donor system smaller by removing enclosures
from it. The enclosures removed from a donor system might be added to a target
system. Contrast with system expansion.
system resizing. See system expansion or system reduction.
system resource model (SRM). A collection of C++ objects that model the diagnostic and
serviceability state behavior of the system resources discovered and managed by the
Compaq TSM package. The SRM has these attributes:
system serial number. A unique identifier, typically five or six alphanumeric characters,
assigned to an HP NonStop™ server when it is built.
System Service Information (SSI) log. An Event Management Service (EMS) log that
includes information about customer-replaceable unit (CRU) removal, CRU insertion,
firmware loading, security authentication, incident report dial-out authorization, incident
report dial-out failure, and incident report confirmation. The SSI log can be viewed
using the OSM or TSM Event Viewer.
system terminal. See system console.
System V. A version of UNIX developed and marketed originally by AT&T.
TACL. See HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL).
TAL. See HP Transaction Application Language (TAL).
tape bootstrap. The program on a system image tape (SIT) that reads the rest of the SIT
during tape load and writes it to the system disk.
tape drive. A device that moves magnetic tape past magnetic read/write heads, which read
data from or write data to the tape.
tape dump. To copy the memory of a processor to tape.
tape library. A storage device consisting of magnetic tape drives, multiple storage locations
for magnetic tape cartridges, an automatic mechanism for loading the cartridges into
