remote notification
remote notification. A form of remote support. Remote notification, or dial-out, allows the
OSM package to notify a service provider, such as the Global Customer Support
Center (GCSC), of pending hardware and software problems. See also remote
interprocessor communication (RIPC).
remote processor. A processor in a node other than the node running the ServerNet
cluster monitor (SNETMON) process reporting status about the processor.
remote node. Any system that is not the local node. Contrast with local node.
RIPC. See remote interprocessor communication (RIPC).
router. See ServerNet router.
router 1. See ServerNet router 1.
router 2. See ServerNet router 2.
SAC. See ServerNet addressable controller (SAC).
SANMAN. See external system area network manager process (SANMAN).
SCF. See Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
SCL. The mnemonic name for the ServerNet cluster subsystem. See ServerNet cluster
subsystem.
SCP. See Subsystem Control Point (SCP).
SEB. See ServerNet expansion board (SEB).
SEB port. A connector used for ServerNet links. The ServerNet expansion board (SEB)
features six ECL-based ServerNet ports. See also MSEB port.
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.
server. (1) An implementation of a system used as a stand-alone system or as a node in an
Expand network. (2) A combination of hardware and software designed to provide
services in response to requests received from clients across a network. For example,
the NonStop servers provide transaction processing, database access, and other
services. (3) A process or program that provides services to a client or a requester.
Servers are designed to receive request messages from clients or requesters; perform
the desired operations, such as database inquiries or updates, security verifications,
numerical calculations, or data routing to other computer systems; and return reply
