HP NonStop™ System RISC Model V processor
(NSR-V processor)
HP NonStop™ System RISC Model V processor (NSR-V processor). The model
designation for the TNS/R processor used in the HP NonStop S74000 server.
HP NonStop™ System RISC Model W processor (NSR-W processor). The model
designation for the TNS/R processor used in the HP NonStop S7000 server.
HP NonStop™ System RISC Model X processor (NSR-X processor). The model
designation for the TNS/R processor used in the HP NonStop S76000 server.
HP NonStop™ System RISC Model Y processor (NSR-Y processor). The model
designation for the TNS/R processor used in the HP NonStop S86000 server.
HP NonStop™ TCP/IP. The HP implementation of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) for the HP NonStop servers. See also Parallel Library TCP/IP.
HP NonStop™ TCP/IP process. An HP product that supports the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) layers. TCP/IP processes are used together with
the communications line interface processor (CLIP) pNA+ to provide the transport layer
between wide area network (WAN) I/O processes and data link control (DLC) tasks,
between ConMgr and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) task,
between the WANBoot process and BOOTP tasks, and between an OSM or TSM
process and a DIAG task.
HP NonStop™ TCP/IP subsystem. A subsystem that allows the use of HP NonStop
TCP/IP to access an HP NonStop S-series host from Macintosh computers, personal
computers, and UNIX workstations. Applications running on a NonStop S-series
system or in an Expand network can transparently exchange data with NonStop
TCP/IP devices.
HP NonStop™ TCP/IPv6. An HP product that adds IP version 6 (IPv6) functionality to the
parallel library TCP/IP product. IPv6 is a TCP/IP protocol that extends the IP version 4
(IPv4) of 32 bits to 128 bits. NonStop TCP/IPv6 can be run in three modes: INET (only
IPv4 and is a direct replacement for parallel library TCP/IP), INET 6 (only IPv6), and
Dual (both IPv4 and IPv6 communications).
HP NonStop™ Technical Library (NTL). The application for accessing, searching, and
viewing technical publications and support information for the HP NonStop server. NTL
replaces Total Information Manager (TIM).
HP NonStop™ Transaction Management Facility (TMF). HP software that provides
transaction protection and database consistency in demanding online transaction
processing (OLTP) and decision-support environments. It gives full protection to
transactions that access distributed SQL and Enscribe databases, as well as recovery
capabilities for transactions, online disk volumes, and entire databases
HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL). The user interface to the HP
NonStop™ Kernel operating system. The TACL product is both a command interpreter
and a command language. Users can write TACL programs that perform complex
