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
of all system resources, at the time it was created. The file can be forwarded to your
service provider to help with troubleshooting problems. (2) For Distributed Systems
Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM), a list of the target system
tape and disk locations, file fingerprints for files managed by DSM/SCM, and
DSM/SCM target information. The snapshot is compiled on the target system from the
target database and sent to the host system to store in the host database. An
instruction to create a snapshot is part of every activation package sent from the host
and can also be requested independently through the Target Interface. (3) In Visual
Inspect, a disk file created by the Save Snapshot command or by DMON if the
SAVEABEND attribute for a process is ON and the process abends. A snapshot is an
image of the process, its data, and its status at the moment it was saved. Visual
Inspect and Inspect can be used to debug snapshots, but the Inspect product refers to
a snapshot as a save file.
SNDA. See ServerNet device adapter (ServerNet/DA).
SNETMON. See ServerNet cluster monitor process (SNETMON).
SNMP. See Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
