4619 disk drive. An 18-gigabyte, 15,000-rpm, small computer system interface (SCSI) disk
drive for HP NonStop™ S-series servers running G06.06 and later release version
updates (RVUs). The 4619 disk drive can coexist and operate with lower-capacity or
lower-speed drives in the same storage subsystem module.

A0CINFO file. A distribution subvolume (DSV) file that contains information about a product
and each of its files, including product and file dependencies, how the files are used
and where they are placed, and which type of processor the product runs on. Every
product and software product revision (SPR) to be managed by Distributed Systems
Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM) is distributed in a
subvolume, and that subvolume must contain the product’s A0CINFO file.
