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

processor
multifunction (PMF)
CRU
1. A HP NonStop S-series customer-replaceable unit (CRU) that contains a power supply, service
processor (SP), ServerNet router 1, Ethernet controller, three ServerNet addressable controllers
(SACs), and a processor and memory system in a single unit. The PMF CRU consists of three
subassemblies: the processor and memory board (PMB), the multifunction I/O board (MFIOB),
and the power supply subassembly.
2. A collective term for both PMF CRUs and PMF 2 CRUs when a distinction between the two
types of CRUs is not required.
PROFILE object
type
The Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) object type for the storage subsystem configuration profile.
PUP See Peripheral Utility Program (PUP).
RESTORE A utility for the HP NonStop range of servers that copies files from a backup tape to disk. See
also BACKUP.
robot A media-changer device that transfers an tape cartridge from a storage cell to a drive for use,
then returns the cartridge to the storage cell.
SAC See ServerNet addressable controller (SAC).
SAN System area network. The preferred term is fabrics (see fabric).
SCF See Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
SCSI See small computer system interface (SCSI).
SCSI object type The Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) object type for the Open SCSI object.
sensitive command A Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) command that can be issued only by a user with super-group
access, by the owner of the subsystem, or by a member of the group of the owner of the subsystem.
The owner of a subsystem is the user who started that subsystem (or any user whose application
ID is the same as the server ID—the result of a PROGID option that requires super-group access).
Contrast with nonsensitive command.
ServerNet adapter A component that connects peripheral devices to the rest of the system through a ServerNet bus
interface (SBI). A ServerNet adapter is similar in function to an I/O controller logic board (LB)
and backplane interconnect card (BIC) in HP NonStop K-series servers.
ServerNet
addressable
controller (SAC)
An I/O controller that is uniquely addressable by a ServerNet ID in the ServerNet fabrics. A SAC
is typically implemented on some portion of a processor multifunction (PMF) customer-replaceable
unit (CRU), an I/O multifunction (IOMF) CRU, or a ServerNet adapter.
ServerNet device
adapter
(ServerNet/DA)
A ServerNet adapter that controls 45xx disk or tape drives installed in a modular storage
subsystem. The 6760 ServerNet/DA contains up to four ServerNet addressable controllers (SACs),
each of which can control either disk drives or tape drives.
ServerNet
expansion board
(SEB)
1. A connector board that plugs in to the backplane to allow one or more ServerNet cables to
exit the rear of the enclosure. The SEBs and ServerNet cables allow processors in one group to
communicate with processors in another group. Each SEB provides either the ServerNet X fabric
or the ServerNet Y fabric for a group.
2. A collective term for both SEBs and modular SEBs (MSEBs) when a distinction between the two
types of SEBs is not required.
ServerNet/DA See ServerNet device adapter (ServerNet/DA).
service provider 1. A person trained and qualified to service field-replaceable units (FRUs).
2. An organization, such as the Global NonStop Support Center (GNSC), that helps you resolve
problems with your HP NonStop S-series server. The HP TSM package allows you to use the help
of a service provider by configuring TSM to support remote notification and remote access.
slot A physical, labeled space for a customer-replaceable unit (CRU) or field-replaceable unit (FRU)
that is part of a module. A module contains one or more slots.
slot location A three-number identifier for a particular slot on a system that consists of the group number,
module number, and slot number; for example, 02,01,08 (group 02, module 01, slot 08).
small computer
system interface
(SCSI)
An ANSI-standard protocol used by a controller to access a device.
SMF See Storage Management Foundation (SMF).
