SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+)

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.
Compaq TSM Identifies a client or server software component used to manage or service HP NonStop S-series
servers.
Compaq TSM
package
A software product for HP NonStop S-series servers that provides the information needed to
perform functions such as querying resources and testing, provides notification of problems on
the system, and allows local or remote access to the system for service and maintenance. The
TSM package performs the same role as that of HP Tandem Maintenance and Diagnostic System
(TMDS), Syshealth, and Remote Maintenance Interface (RMI) on earlier systems.
CONFIG file In G-series RVUs, the current system configuration database file, which is stored on the $SYSTEM.
ZSYSCONF subvolume. See also configuration file.
configuration The definition or alteration of characteristics of an object.
configuration file In G-series RVUs, one of these 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 used by SYSGENR.
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).
controller See ServerNet addressable controller (SAC).
COUP See Configuration Utility Program (COUP).

detailed report A complete listing of status or configuration information provided by the Subsystem Control Facility
(SCF) STATUS or INFO command when you use the DETAIL option. Contrast with summary report.
direct connect Connection from the FCSA to the ESS without going through an FC switch.
disk bootstrap A software entity residing on disk that is used to load the HP NonStop operating system image
(OSIMAGE) into memory during a system load of a NonStop S-series server. A disk that contains
the disk bootstrap is referred to as a bootable disk. The disk bootstrap is placed on the disk either
as part of a tape load or as a result of the SCF CONTROL DISK, REPLACEBOOT command.
On a Integrity NonStop NS-series server, the bootstrap program is installed through firmware
update into flash memory.
disk cache A temporary storage buffer into which data is read, retained, and perhaps updated before being
written to disk, for more efficient processing.
disk drive A device that stores and accesses data on a disk. Random access to addressable locations on a
disk is provided by disk read/write heads. See also volume.
DISK object type The Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) object type for all disk devices attached to your system.
disk volume See volume.
DSC See Dynamic System Configuration (DSC).
Dynamic System
Configuration
(DSC)
A utility used in D-series and earlier RVUs to make online changes to the configuration of devices
and controllers. Its interactive utility is called the Configuration Utility Program (COUP). In G-series
RVUs, DSC functions are performed by Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
EMS See Event Management Service (EMS).
enclosure Similar to a cabinet in HP NonStop K-series systems. An enclosure can contain components of a
system or a peripheral. Base enclosures are placed on the floor and can have other enclosures
stacked on top of them. Stackable enclosures can be placed on top of other enclosures. See also
system enclosure and peripheral enclosure.
