modular ServerNet expansion board (MSEB)
of data written to the primary drive is also written to the mirror drive; if the primary drive
fails, the mirror drive can continue operations. See also volume.
modular ServerNet expansion board (MSEB). A ServerNet expansion board (SEB) that
uses plug-in cards (PICs) to provide a choice of connection media for routing
ServerNet packets. See also ServerNet expansion board (SEB).
module. A set of components sharing a common interconnection, such as a backplane. A
module is a subset of a group, and it is usually contained in an enclosure. In a HP
NonStop S-series server, there is exactly one module in a group.
MON object type. The Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) object type for the Storage
Management Foundation (SMF) Master Process. See also Storage Management
Foundation (SMF).
MSEB. See modular ServerNet expansion board (MSEB).
noninteractive mode. A mode of operation that usually involves a command file (an EDIT
file that contains a series of commands). Contrast with interactive mode.
nonsensitive command. A command that can be issued by any user or program that is
allowed access to a subsystem—that is, a command on which the subsystem imposes
no further security restrictions. For SCF, nonsensitive commands are those that cannot
change the state or configuration of objects; most of them are information commands.
Contrast with sensitive command.
NonStop™ NS-series servers. See HP Integrity NonStop™ NS-series servers.
NonStop™ S-series servers. See HP NonStop™ S-series servers.
NonStop™ operating system. See HP NonStop™ operating system.
OBEY file. See command file.
object. One or more of the devices, lines, processes, and files in a subsystem; any entity
subject to independent reference or control by one or more subsystems. In the
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF), each object has an object type and object name.
object name. A unique name for an SCF object within a subsystem.
object-name template. A name that stands for more than one Subsystem Control Facility
(SCF) object. Such a name includes one or more wild-card characters, such as *
(asterisk) and ? (question mark). See also wild-card character.
object type. The category of Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) objects to which a specific
SCF object belongs; for example, a specific disk has the object type DISK and a
specific terminal may have the object type SU. Each subsystem has a set of object
types for the objects it manages.
