spooler
links. Introduced with the G06.12 release version update (RVU), the split-star topology
supports up to 16 nodes. See also star topology
, tri-star topology, and layered
topology.
spooler. The collection of files and processes that manages the printers and print jobs on
the system.
SPR. See software product revision (SPR).
SP Tool Application. A PC-based software application that you can use to request
information from the master service processors (MSPs) in an HP NonStop™ S-series
server. This application is intended for use only by trained service providers.
SRL. See shared run-time library (SRL).
SRM. See system resource model (SRM).
SS7. See Signaling System Number 7 (SS7).
SS7TE PIC. See SS7TE plug-in card (PIC).
SS7TE2 PIC. See SS7TE2 plug-in card (PIC).
SS7TE plug-in card (PIC). A plug-in card (PIC) used in the 6763 Common Communication
ServerNet adapter (CCSA) that supports the EIA-232, EIA-449, V.35, and X.21
interfaces.
SS7TE2 plug-in card (PIC). A plug-in card (PIC) used in the 6763 Common
Communication ServerNet adapter (CCSA) that supports the E1, J1, and T1 interfaces.
S-SAC. See SCSI ServerNet addressable controller (S-SAC).
SSI log. See System Service Information (SSI) log.
stackable enclosure. An enclosure that can rest on top of another enclosure. A stackable
enclosure is not installed on a frame base. Contrast with base enclosure
.
standby power generator. A turbine-driven or engine-driven generator that provides a
backup source of power to designated loads. Often used to supplement an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
in the event of extended utility outages.
star group. One set of X and Y HP NonStop™ Cluster Switches and the ServerNet nodes
(up to eight) that are connected to them. A star group can be thought of as a segment
of a split-star or tri-star topology. A split-star topology can contain up to two star
groups. A tri-star topology can contain up to three star groups.
start mode. An attribute of Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) PROCESS objects that
controls when and if an application process starts in G-series release version updates
(RVUs).
