is a 2-digit number in the range 00 through 99.

System planning and configuration staff at your site likely will change or expand on the

preconfigured file-naming conventions that HP provides, typically by establishing

naming conventions for configuring such objects as storage devices, communication

processes, and adapters. These conventions should simplify your monitoring tasks by

making process or object functions intuitively obvious to someone looking at the object

name. For example, in your environment, tape drives might be named $TAPEn, where

n is a sequential number. The SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs lists HP

reserved names that cannot be changed or used for other objects or processes in your

environment.

Using SCF to Determine Your System Configuration

SCF is one of the most important tools available to you as a system operator. SCF

commands configure and control the objects (lines, controllers, processes, and so on)

belonging to each subsystem running on the NonStop S-series server. You also use

SCF to display information about subsystems and their objects.

SCF accepts commands from a workstation, a disk file, or an application process. It

sends display output to a workstation, a file, a process, or a printer. Some SCF

commands are available only to some subsystems. An overall SCF reference is the

SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs. Subsystem-specific information appears in

a separate for each subsystem. For a partial list of these manuals, refer to Appendix C,
