group ID
group ID. The nonnegative integer used to identify a group of users of an HP NonStop™
network node. Each user of a node is a member of at least one group. When the
identity of a group is associated with an Open System Services (OSS) process, a
group ID value is referred to as one of:
•
Real group ID
•
Effective group ID
•
Supplementary group ID
•
Saved-set group ID
group list. An Open System Services (OSS) process attribute that is used with the effective
group ID of the process to determine the file access permissions for the process.
GRT. See Guided Replacement Toolkit (GRT).
Guardian. An environment available for interactive or programmatic use with the HP
NonStop™ Kernel operating system. Processes that run in the Guardian environment
usually use the Guardian system procedure calls as their application program
interface. Interactive users of the Guardian environment usually use the HP Tandem
Advanced Command Language (TACL) or another HP product’s command interpreter.
Contrast with Open System Services (OSS)
.
Guardian environment. The Guardian application program interface (API), tools, and
utilities.
Guardian services. An application program interface (API) to the HP NonStop™ Kernel
operating system, plus the tools and utilities associated with that API. This term is
synonymous with
Guardian environment. See also Guardian.
Guardian user ID. See HP NonStop™ Kernel user ID.
GUI. See graphical user interface (GUI).
GUID. See globally unique ID (GUID).
guided procedure. A software tool that assists you in performing complex configuration or
replacement tasks on an HP NonStop™ S-series server. OSM guided procedures are
launched through actions in the OSM Service Connection. TSM guided procedures are
accessible from the Start menu on your system console. Guided procedures include
Replace PMF, IOMF, SNDA, SEB, or MSEB. Some names vary between OSM and
TSM. For example, Add Node to ServerNet Cluster is the OSM equivalent of Configure
ServerNet Node in TSM.
Guided Replacement Toolkit (GRT). A software product that guides you through online
replacement of these customer-replaceable units (CRUs) on HP NonStop™ S-series
systems: I/O multifunction (IOMF) CRUs, power supplies, processor multifunction
(PMF) CRUs, and 6760 ServerNet device adapters. GRT is used only with older
versions of TSM server software. If you are replacing a CRU in a system running TSM
