FOX monitor process
FOX monitor process. The Fiber Optic Extension (FOX) monitor process for the
ServerNet/FX adapter subsystem. The process name is $ZZFOX.
generic process. A process created and managed by the Kernel subsystem. Also known
as a system-managed process. A common characteristic of a generic process is
persistence. See also persistence.
HP Advanced Command Language (TACL). The user interface to the HP NonStop Kernel
operating system. The TACL product is both a command interpreter and a command
language. Users can write TACL programs that perform complex tasks simply or
provide a consistent user interface across independently programmed applications.
HP NonStop Open System Management (OSM) Interface. Replacement for TSM as the
system management tool of choice for NonStop S-series servers. OSM provides the
same functionality as TSM while overcoming limitations of TSM. OSM is required for
support of new functionality released in G06.21 and later.
input source. The resource from which Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) accepts
command input. SCF can accept input from a terminal or a disk file. The initial input
source is determined by the form of the RUN command used to initiate SCF. At any
time during an SCF session, the input source can be temporarily changed to execute a
series of commands from a command file.
interactive mode. A mode of operation that is characterized by having the same input and
output device (a terminal or a process) for the session. If a terminal is used, a person
enters a command and presses Return. If a process is used, the system interface waits
for the process to send a request and treats the process in the same manner as a
terminal. Contrast with noninteractive mode.
Kernel subsystem. In G-series RVUs, the subsystem for configuration and management of
the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) subsystem managers that are generic
processes, some system attributes, and the ServerNet X and Y fabrics.
Kernel subsystem manager process. The generic process that starts and manages other
generic processes, some system attributes, and the ServerNet X and Y fabrics in
G-series RVUs. The $ZZKRN Kernel subsystem manager process is started and
managed by the $ZPM persistence manager process. See also generic process.
LAN. See local area network (LAN).
LANMAN. See LAN manager (LANMAN) process.
LAN manager (LANMAN) process. The process provided as part of the ServerNet local
area network (LAN) Systems Access (SLSA) subsystem that starts and manages the
SLSA subsystem objects and the LAN monitor (LANMON) process and assigns
ownership of Ethernet adapters to the LANMON processes in the system. Subsystem
Control Facility (SCF) commands are directed to the LANMON processes for
configuring and managing the SLSA subsystem and the Ethernet adapters.
