OSM Service Connection User's Guide (G06.30+)

A unique, read-only number stored in nonvolatile memory (SEEPROM) on a ServerNet
II Switch at the time of manufacture. The GUID also appears on the bar code label. This
number can be used programmatically to identify the switch.
group
Part of the group, module, slot naming convention for uniquely identifying the logical
location of a component within a system. A group is a subset of a system and contains
one or more modules. A group does not necessarily correspond to a single physical
object, such as an enclosure. For example, an HP NonStop S-series processor enclosure
typically includes only one group number, but a modular cabinet can contain several
enclosures that each might belong to different groups.
See also module.
guided procedure
A software tool that assists you in performing complex configuration or replacement
tasks on an NonStop server. OSM guided procedures are launched through actions in the
OSM Service Connection.
H
halt
To stop a processor, terminating all processes running in it. Halt is a processor action
available in both the OSM Low-Level Link and the OSM Service Connection. Halting a
processor does not affect any other processors in the system.
An error situation that stops a processor, terminating all processes running in it. If a
processor halts on its own, OSM issues an alarm such as Processor Software Halt.
Halted State Services (HSS)
A millicode module that provides a maintenance interface when a processor is in the
stopped state. HSS is sometimes called boot millicode
hard reset
An action performed on an HP NonStop" Cluster Switch (model 6770) and HP NonStop"
ServerNet Switch (model 6780) that reinitializes the router-2 ASIC within the switch,
disrupting the routing of ServerNet messages through the switch for several minutes.
When the hard reset is finished, the paths are restored automatically.
hardware error freeze (HEF)
A lock-step error that has caused a processor to freeze.
HP NonStop Cluster Switch (model 6770)
An assembly that routes ServerNet messages across an external fabric of a ServerNet
cluster. The cluster switch consists of a ServerNet II Switch, an uninterruptible power
