configuration file
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 pre-G-series RVUs, the configuration file is either
the OSCONFIG file used by the Configuration Utility Program (COUP) or the
CONFTEXT file.
configuration utility process. The $ZCNF process that is the access process for the
CONFIG file and starts and maintains the $ZPM persistence manager process.
Configuration Utility Program (COUP). A utility used in D-series and earlier RVUs to
make online changes to the configuration of devices and controllers. COUP is part of
the Dynamic System Configuration (DSC) facility. In G-series RVUs, COUP functions
are performed by the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
configured object. A Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) object that exists at the time a
subsystem completes its initialization process, or an SCF object that is brought into
existence by a command issued through the subsystem management interface.
CONFSAVE file. In G-series RVUs, the automatically saved configuration database file,
which is stored on the $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF subvolume. See also configuration file.
CONFTEXT file. The configuration file used as input to DSM/SCM that contains a series of
entries defining your HP NonStop Kernel operating system attributes. A G-series
CONFTEXT file consists of one or two paragraphs: DEFINES (optional) and
ALLPROCESSORS.
CONFxxyy file. In G-series RVUs, a saved configuration database file created by the
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) and stored in the $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF
subvolume. xxyy is the number you entered based on the version you entered as
x.y in SCF (xx indicates the base version and yy indicates the subversion). See
also configuration file.
ConMgr. See concentrator manager process (ConMgr)
.
control and inquiry. Those aspects of Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) object
management related to the state or configuration of an object. Such aspects include
actions that affect the state or configuration of an object, inquiries about the object, and
commands pertaining to the session environment (for example, commands that set
default values for the session).
COUP. See Configuration Utility Program (COUP)
.
current configuration file. See configuration file.
