volt (V)
volt (V). The standard unit of measure of the potential difference that is required to move an
electric charge.
volume. A logical disk, which can be one or two magnetic disk drives. In HP NonStop™
S-series systems, volumes have names that begin with a dollar sign ($), such as
$DATA. See also mirrored disk or volume
.
WAN. See wide area network (WAN).
WANBoot process. A process provided as part of the wide area network (WAN) subsystem
that implements the BOOTP protocol and provides management functions to the WAN
subsystem and the WAN products.
WAN concentrator. See ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrator and ServerNet
wide area network (SWAN) 2 concentrator.
WAN shared driver. A driver, provided as part of the wide area network (WAN) subsystem,
that provides a simplified interface to HP NonStop™ TCP/IP for use by I/O processes.
The shared driver interface is similar to that provided by DOIOPLEASE on earlier
systems.
WAN subsystem. See wide area network (WAN) subsystem.
WAN subsystem manager process. A process named $ZZWAN provided as part of the
wide area network (WAN) subsystem that starts and manages the WAN subsystem
objects, the WAN product process, and device objects. Subsystem Control Facility
(SCF) commands are directed to the WAN subsystem manager process for configuring
and managing the WAN subsystem and the ServerNet wide area network (SWAN)
concentrator.
WAN Wizard Pro. A graphical user interface (GUI) that guides you step-by-step through the
configuration of wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN) software and
hardware.
wide area network (WAN). A network that operates over a larger geographical area than a
local area network (LAN)
; typically, an area with a radius greater than one kilometer.
The elements of a WAN can be separated by distances great enough to require
telephone communications.
wide area network (WAN) subsystem. The Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) subsystem
for configuration and management of WAN objects in G-series release version updates
(RVUs).
wild-card character. A character that stands for any possible character or characters in a
search string or in a name applying to multiple objects. In Subsystem Control Facility
(SCF) object-name templates, two wild-card characters can appear: ? (question mark)
for a single character and * (asterisk) for zero or more consecutive characters. See
also object-name template.
