noninteractive mode
noninteractive mode. A mode of operation that usually involves a command file (an EDIT
file that contains a series of commands). Contrast with interactive mode
.
nonlinear load. Electrical load for which the instantaneous current is not proportional to the
instantaneous voltage. Consequently, the local impedance varies with the voltage.
nonsensitive command. A command that can be issued by any user or program that is
allowed access to a subsystem—that is, a command on which the subsystem imposes
no further security restrictions. For Subsystem Control Facility (SCF), nonsensitive
commands are those that cannot change the state or configuration of objects; most of
them are information commands. Contrast with sensitive command
.
NonStop™ Cluster Switch. See HP NonStop™ Cluster Switch (model 6770).
NonStop™ zone. A branch of the power-distribution system that provides power directly to
HP NonStop computer equipment.
NonStop™ Kernel operating system. See HP NonStop™ Kernel operating system.
NonStop™ ServerNet Cluster. See HP NonStop™ ServerNet Cluster (ServerNet Cluster).
NonStop™ ServerNet Switch. See HP NonStop™ ServerNet Switch (model 6780).
NonStop™ TCP/IP. See HP NonStop™ TCP/IP.
NonStop™ TCP/IP process. See HP NonStop™ TCP/IP process.
NonStop™ TCP/IP subsystem. See HP NonStop™ TCP/IP subsystem.
NonStop™ TCP/IPv6. See HP NonStop™ TCP/IPv6.
NonStop Technical Library. See HP NonStop™ Technical Library (NTL).
normal mode. Electromagnetic interference that occurs between current-carrying
conductors (for example, line to neutral).
normal mode
notification. Another name for an incident report created by the OSM and TSM Notification
Director. When incident reports are dialed out to service providers, this process is also
referred to as remote notification
.
NRL. See named resource list (NRL).
NRT. See network routing table (NRT).
NSR-D processor. See HP NonStop™ System RISC Model D processor (NSR-D
processor).
