Titles and Abstracts
Introduction to NonStop
Operations Management
Introduces operations managers to NonStop operations
management. It provides guidelines, suggestions, and
ideas on the following topics: staffing, operations and
support areas, operations documentation, production
management, problem management, change
management, configuration management, performance
management, security management, application
management, automating and centralizing operations,
and improving operations management processes.
Introduction to Tandem NonStop
S-Series Servers
Gives new users an orientation to NonStop S-series
servers. It describes the application environment,
architecture, and networking capabilities of these servers
and explains basic concepts, terms, and entities in the
HP environment.
Introduction to Networking for
HP NonStop S-Series Servers
Provides an overview of networking and data
communications concepts, tasks, products, and manuals
for NonStop S-series servers. It is intended for
programmers, system and network managers, and
others who will select products for specific applications.
Introduction to Virtual
TapeServer Operations (Tape
Labs)
Describes the concepts and operation of the virtual tape
servers manufactured by Tape Labs.
IPX/SPX Configuration and
Management Manual
Intended for system administrators and operators, this
manual describes the installation, configuration,
management, and operation of the NonStop IPX/SPX
subsystem. It also includes an overview of NetWare and
NonStop IPX/SPX subsystem components and concepts.
IPX/SPX Programming Manual Describes how to develop socket applications in the
Guardian environment for the NonStop TCP/IP and
NonStop IPX/SPX data communications subsystems.
Kernel-Managed Swap Facility
(KMSF) Manual
Describes the installation, configuration, and
management of the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility
(KMSF). KMSF manages virtual memory for TNS/R
native processes and, to a lesser extent, TNS processes.
Describes the operation of and command syntax for
NSKCOM, the NonStop OS command interface to KMSF.
This manual is primarily written for those who configure,
manage, and monitor kernel-managed swap space.
L700 (CLT700) Installation and
Operations Guide
Describes how to install an L700 tape library. It includes
information about installing the hardware, and starting
and operating the tape library.
