Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Facilities
$ZZPAM through the SCP process and how $ZZPAM, in turn, communications with the
PAM process.
MFIOB (Multifunction I/O Board/Ethernet)
The MFIOB is a ServerNet adapter that is integrated into the processor multifunction
(PMF) CRU and the I/O multifunction (IOMF) CRU. The MFIOB provides testing
functions.
FESA (Fast Ethernet ServerNet Adapter)
The FESA is a CRU that supports one Ethernet 10Base-T or 100Base-TX connection
and communicates with multiple processors through its dual ServerNet interfaces to
the ServerNet fabrics.
E4SA (Ethernet 4 ServerNet Adapter)
The E4SA is a CRU that supports four 10Base-T Ethernet connections and
communicates with multiple processors through its dual ServerNet interfaces to the
ServerNet fabrics.
TRSA (Token-Ring ServerNet Adapter)
The TRSA is a CRU that provides connectivity between the server and other nodes on
a token-ring compliant, software-configurable network that has a speed of either 4 or
16 Mbps.
Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
Facilities
The PAM subsystem supports the DSM facilities provided by HP for subsystem
management. DSM provides two types of management interfaces to subsystems:
•
Commands are used to perform operations on subsystem objects. This type of
management interface is referred to as control-and-inquiry.
•
Event messages are generated to report significant events detected by the
subsystem. This type of management interface is referred to as event
management.
The PAM subsystem supports both interactive and programmatic interfaces for control-
and-inquiry and event management.
Programmatic Interfaces
The DSM programmatic interfaces for control-and-inquiry and event management
enable applications to perform the same kind of monitoring and control operations that
users of SCF and EMS printing and compatibility distributors can perform interactively.
