link
A communications path between two entities.
load
To transfer the NonStop operating system image or a program from storage (typically
disk) into processor memory so that the operating system or program can run.
local area network (LAN)
A network that is located in a small geographical area and provides a high-bandwidth,
low-cost medium to which low-cost nodes can be connected. One or more LANs can be
connected to the system such that the LAN users can access the system as if their
workstations were connected directly to it.
See also wide area network (WAN) and ServerNet system area network (ServerNet
SAN).
logic board (LB)
A printed wiring assembly (PWA) on which computer circuits (chips and wiring) are
mounted. One type of logic board is a processor and memory board (PMB). Another type
is a multifunction I/O board (MFIOB).
logical device number
A number that identifies a particular I/O device in the system. Logical device numbers
are assigned to physical I/O devices.
logical interface (LIF)
A process that allows an application or another process to communicate with data
communications hardware.
logical name
An attribute of a resource that is either assigned to the I/O process associated with the
resource during configuration using the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) or that
represents the type of resource or its location.
When you are logged on to the OSM Service Connection, you can use the logical name to
locate a resource.
Examples:
$DATA04-P is the logical name of the disk CRU located in group 1, module 1, slot
13.
SCSI-3.GRP-1.MOD-1.SLOT-50 is the logical name of the third SCSI bus on the
IOMF2 CRU located in group 1, module 1, slot 50.
Switch_Y_Guid_VOPXKH is the logical name for a NonStop Cluster Switch on
