save file
save file. A file created through the Inspect or Debug product. A save file contains enough
information about a running process at a given time to restart the process at the same
point in its execution. A save file contains an image of the process, data for the
process, and the status of the process at the time the save file was created.
A save file can be created through an Inspect SAVE command at any time. A save file
called a saveabend file can be created by the DMON debug monitor when a process’s
SAVEABEND attribute is set and the process terminates abnormally.
SBB. See ServerNet buffer board (SBB).
SBI. See ServerNet bus interface (SBI).
SC. See Subscriber Channel (SC).
scalar view of the user ID. A view of the HP NonStop™ Kernel user ID, normally used in
the Open System Services (OSS) environment, that is the value
(
group-number * 256) + user-number. Also called the UID.
SCC. See serial communications controller (SCC).
SCF. See Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
SCL. The mnemonic subsystem name for the ServerNet cluster subsystem.
SCP. See Subsystem Control Point (SCP).
SCSI. See small computer system interface (SCSI).
SCSI object type. The Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) object type for an Open SCSI
device.
SCSI passthrough terminator. A bus-terminating plug connected between a cable and the
external connector of a customer-replaceable unit (CRU). The SCSI passthrough
terminator contains the necessary termination resistors required by the SCSI bus. See
also terminator
.
SCSI plug-in card (S-PIC). A plug-in card (PIC) for the 6760 ServerNet device adapter
(ServerNet/DA) that uses a small computer system interface (SCSI) interface to
connect devices to an HP NonStop™ S-series system. See also plug-in card (PIC)
and
fiber-optic plug-in card (F-PIC)
.
SCSI ServerNet addressable controller (S-SAC). A ServerNet addressable controller
(SAC) that is contained within a small computer system interface (SCSI) plug-in card
(S-PIC).
SCSI terminator. See terminator.
SE. System engineer. See service provider.
