Class-3 CRU
replacing HP NonStop™ S-series CRUs or equivalent training. Customers must be
able to use the tools needed for the replacement procedure and must protect
components from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Class-3 CRU. A customer-replaceable unit (CRU) that probably will cause a partial or total
system outage if the documented replacement procedure is not followed correctly.
Customers replacing Class-3 CRUs should have either six or more months of
experience with replacing HP NonStop™ S-series CRUs or equivalent training.
Customers must be able to use the tools needed for the replacement procedure, must
protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD), and must understand the
dependencies involved in CRU-replacement procedures, such as disk-path switching.
Replacement by a service provider trained by HP is recommended.
client process. A process that uses QIO. Client processes can include the TLAM IOP
running in QIO mode and other processes, such as the TCP/IP and HP NonStop™
IPX/SPX protocol processes.
collector. A process, defined by Event Management Service (EMS), to which subsystems
report events.
command. A demand for action by or information from a subsystem, or the operation
demanded by an operator or application. A command is typically conveyed as an
interprocess message from an application to a subsystem.
command file. An EDIT file that contains a series of commands and serves as a source of
command input.
Common Communication ServerNet adapter (CCSA). A ServerNet adapter for Signaling
System Number 7 (SS7) protocol communications.
communications line. A two-way link consisting of processing equipment, I/O devices,
protocol conventions, and cables that connect a computer to other computers.
communications subsystem. The combination of data communications hardware and
software processes that function together as an integrated unit to provide services and
access to wide and local area networks.
configuration. (1) The arrangement of enclosures, system components, and peripheral
devices into a working unit. (2) The definition or alteration of characteristics of an
object.
configuration file. In G-series RVUs, one of the following files: CONFBASE, CONFIG, one
or more saved configuration files named CONFxxyy, and CONFSAVE. See also
system configuration database
. In RVUs prior to G-series, the configuration file is
either the OSCONFIG file used by the Configuration Utility Program (COUP) or the
CONFTEXT file used during system generation.
