SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem

About This Document
This manual describes the Kernel subsystem on NonStop S-series servers, Integrity NonStop NS-series
servers, and Integrity NonStop BladeSystems. It also describes the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)
configuration and management tasks that can be performed on Kernel subsystem objects. Some
of these tasks are:
• Replace Event Management Service (EMS) templates. (See “Changing EMS Template Files”
(page 28).)
• Specify the power-failure-to-shutdown time interval. (See “Changing the
Power-Failure-to-Shutdown Time Interval” (page 29).)
• Alter the system name and system number. (See “Changing the System Name or System
Number (G-Series RVUs)” (page 30), “Changing the System Name or System Number (H-Series
RVUs)” (page 30), or “Changing the System Name or System Number (J-Series RVUs)”
(page 32).)
• Alter the system time attributes. (See “Changing the System Time Attributes” (page 32).)
• Add, alter, and delete generic processes. (See Chapter 3 (page 38).)
• Obtain information about a ServerNet X fabric or Y fabric. (See “Obtaining Information About
the ServerNet Network” (page 65).)

This manual supports J06.03 and all subsequent J-series RVUs, H06.03 and all subsequent H-series
RVUs, and G06.24 and all subsequent G-series RVUs, until otherwise indicated in a replacement
