NonStop System Glossary

processor multifunction (PMF) CRU
1. A NonStop S-series customer-replaceable unit (CRU) that contains a power supply, service
processor (SP), ServerNet router 1, Ethernet controller, three ServerNet addressable controllers
(SACs), and a processor and memory system in a single unit. The PMF CRU consists of three
subassemblies: the processor and memory board (PMB), the multifunction I/O board (MFIOB),
and the power supply subassembly.
2. A collective term for both PMF CRUs and PMF 2 CRUs when a distinction between the two types
of CRUs is not required.
processor multifunction (PMF) 2 CRU
A NonStop S-series customer-replaceable unit (CRU) that contains a power supply, service processor
(SP), ServerNet router 2, Ethernet controller, three ServerNet addressable controllers (SACs), and
a processor and memory system in a single unit. The PMF 2 CRU consists of three subassemblies:
the processor and memory board (PMB), the multifunction I/O board (MFIOB), and the power
supply subassembly.

processor switch (p-switch)
A self-contained, rackmountable enclosure that contains a ServerNet switch board and supporting
power, cooling, maintenance, and interfacing components.
product module (PM)
The part of the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) subsystem that is responsible for subsystem-specific
command processing.
profile
Default values used by the Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration Manager
(DSM/SCM) when processing requests. The three types of profiles are the Configuration Manager
profile, the system profile, and the target profile.
PROFILE object type
The Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) object type for the storage subsystem configuration profile.
program
See program file.
program file
An executable object code file containing a program’s main routine plus related routines statically
linked together and combined into the same object file. Other routines shared with other programs
might be located in separately loaded libraries. A program file can be named on a RUN command;
other code files cannot. See also object code file.
Provider
An SCF object that represents a transport service provider and directs socket requests to a specific
CLIM.
