HP NonStop™ Cluster Switch (model 6770)
HP NonStop™ Cluster Switch (model 6770). An assembly that routes ServerNet
messages across an external fabric of a ServerNet cluster. The cluster switch consists
of a ServerNet II Switch, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and AC transfer
switch, and it can be packaged in a switch enclosure or in a 19-inch rack. The cluster
switch is used with star, split-star, and tri-star topologies. See also HP NonStop™
ServerNet Switch (model 6780).
HP NonStop™ Kernel Open System Services (OSS). The product name for the OSS
environment. See also Open System Services (OSS)
.
HP NonStop™ Kernel operating system. The operating system for HP NonStop systems.
HP NonStop™ Kernel user ID. A user ID within an HP NonStop system. The Guardian
environment normally uses the structured view of this user ID, which consists of either
the
group-number, user-number pair of values or the group-name.user-name
pair of values. For example, the structured view of the super ID is (255, 255). The
Open System Services (OSS) environment normally uses the scalar view of this user
ID, also known as the UID
, which is the value (group-number * 256)
+
user-number. For example, the scalar view of the super ID is (255 * 256) + 255
= 65535.
HP NonStop™ K-series servers. The set of servers in the HP NonStop servers having
product numbers beginning with the letter
K. These servers run the HP NonStop
Kernel operating system, but they do not implement the ServerNet architecture.
HP NonStop™ Open System Management (OSM) Interface. Replacement for TSM as
the system management tool of choice for NonStop S-series servers. OSM provides
the same functionality as TSM while overcoming limitations of TSM. OSM is required
for support of new functionality released in G06.21 and later.
HP NonStop™ S700 server. A special configuration of HP NonStop S-series server that is
limited to one processor enclosure and a maximum of two I/O enclosures. A matched
pair of any model of PMF CRU can be used in a NonStop S700 server.
HP NonStop™ S7000 server. The first server in a product line of servers (HP NonStop
S-series servers) that implement the ServerNet architecture and run the HP NonStop
Kernel operating system.
HP NonStop™ S7400 server. A model of HP NonStop S-series server that provides a
midrange upgrade option for migrating from an HP NonStop K-series server or a
NonStop S7000 server.
HP NonStop™ S7600 server. A model of HP NonStop S-series server that implements the
ServerNet architecture and runs the HP NonStop Kernel operating system. The
NonStop S7600 PMF CRU is based on the NonStop S74000 PMF CRU, and the
NonStop S7600 server supports all S-series hardware products that are compatible
with the NonStop S74000 server.
