INSPSNAP
INSPSNAP. The program that provides a process snapshot file for the Inspect subsystem.
installation subvolume (ISV). A subvolume containing files that perform a specific function
during the installation process, such as organizing documentation in a specific location,
providing the components of the HP NonStop™ Kernel operating system image
(OSIMAGE), and containing files that are used after the installation process.
installer. The person who installs the system equipment for a new system. This person also
installs new equipment when additions are made to the system. This person can install
software and perform system verification procedures as directed by the system
planner, configuration planner, or support planner.
instruction processing unit (IPU). A processing unit that executes programs by fetching
instructions from memory and executing them.
insulated ground. A grounding conductor with a dielectric (low-conductance) insulator
around it to prevent inadvertent contact with metal conduits.
intelligent SCSI processor (ISP). The ServerNet addressable controller (SAC) that
controls the small computer system interface (SCSI) bus.
interactive mode. A mode of operation that is characterized by having the same input and
output device (a terminal or a process) for the session. If a terminal is used, a person
enters a command and presses Return. If a process is used, the system interface waits

terminal. Contrast with noninteractive mode
.
internal routing. The routing of packets within an HP NonStop™ S-series server. See also

.
internal ServerNet fabrics. The fabrics that link ServerNet devices within an HP
NonStop™ S-series server. See also external ServerNet fabrics
.
internal ServerNet X or Y fabric. The X or Y fabric that links ServerNet devices within an
HP NonStop™ S-series server. See also fabric
.
internationalization. The process of designing and coding software so that it can be
adapted to meet the needs of different languages, cultures, and character sets, with
the ability to handle various linguistic and cultural conventions. Internationalization
methods enable the processing of character-based data independently of the
underlying character encoding, allowing choice among character sets. Sometimes
referred to as
I18N, derived from the 18 letters between the initial I and the final N of
the word
internationalization. See also character set.
Internet address. The 32-bit address assigned to hosts that want to participate in the
Internet using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Internet
addresses are an abstraction of physical hardware addresses, just as the Internet is an
abstraction of physical networks. As assigned to the interconnection of a host to a
