LANMAN
LANMAN. See LAN manager (LANMAN) process.
LAN manager (LANMAN) process. The process provided as part of the ServerNet local
area network (LAN) Systems Access (SLSA) subsystem that starts and manages the
SLSA subsystem objects and the LAN monitor (LANMON) process and assigns
ownership of Ethernet adapters to the LANMON processes in the system. Subsystem
Control Facility (SCF) commands are directed to the LANMON processes for
configuring and managing the SLSA subsystem and the Ethernet adapters.
LANMON. See LAN monitor (LANMON) process.
LAN monitor (LANMON) process. The process provided as part of the ServerNet local
area network (LAN) Systems Access (SLSA) subsystem that has ownership of the
Ethernet adapters controlled by the SLSA subsystem.
late binding. At load time, binding a symbolic reference in a dynamic-link library (DLL) to a
definition in a loadfile that appears on the program’s loadList rather than the one found
on the DLL’s linker searchList. Late binding occurs in either of the following cases:
•
The loader resolves a symbol that is unresolved by any loadfile on the linker
searchList.
•
The loader binds a symbol in a DLL to the first definition it finds on the program’s
loadList, and this is not the first definition that was encountered on the linker
searchList.
For localized loadfiles, the linker and loader searchLists are the same, so late binding
does not occur.
layer number. See cluster switch layer number.
layered topology. The network topology for ServerNet clusters using the HP NonStop™
ServerNet Switch (model 6780). The layered topology can scale by adding cluster
switch layers or zones. The layered topology supports up to four layers and three
zones. See also star topology
, split-star topology, and tri-star topology.
LB. See logic board (LB)
.
LED. See light-emitting diode (LED).
legacy system. An operating system that is not open but from which applications must be
ported or users transferred.
libList. The list of libraries to be loaded along with a loadfile. When linking the loadfile, the
linker constructs the libList from the names of libraries specified in the linker’s
command stream; it stores the libList within the loadfile.
library. A generic term for a collection of routines useful in many programs. An object code
library can take the form of a linkfile to be physically included into client programs, it
can be an OSS archive file containing several linkable modules, it can be a loadfile, or
