Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet adapter (G4SA)
Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet adapter (G4SA). A multiport ServerNet adapter that
provides 1000 megabits/second (Mbps) data transfer rates between HP
NonStop™ S-series systems and Ethernet LANs. The G4SA is the only LAN adapter
supported for the I/O Adapter Module (IOAM) enclosure, and it is installed in slots 1, 2,
3, 4, and 5 of an IOAM. Although the G4SA supersedes the Ethernet 4 ServerNet
adapter (E4SA), Fast Ethernet ServerNet adapter (FESA), and the Gigabit Ethernet
ServerNet adapter (GESA), it cannot be installed in an HP NonStop™ S-series
enclosure.
GENTRAP. A Network Control Language (NCL) procedure of the NonStop NET/MASTER
Trap Subagent that assembles an SNMP trap from an EMS event and calls
NMMTRAP to handle communications with the SNMP agent. To define a trap that
differs from the one defined by the EMS Trap MIB, you must create a MIB definition in
ASN.1 and modify the GENTRAP’s NCL code to define the new trap MIB.
Get operation. An SNMP operation that retrieves the value of a MIB object.
GetNext operation. An SNMP operation that retrieves the value of the next instance of a
MIB object. It could access the next object in the MIB, or it could access the next entry
in a MIB table.
GetNextRequest PDU. An SNMP PDU used to issue a GetNext request.
GetRequest PDU. An SNMP PDU used to issue a Get request.
GetResponse PDU. An SNMP PDU used to respond to Get, GetNext, and Set requests.
heterogeneous. Consisting of components following different protocols and often
manufactured by different vendors.
HMSAMIB. The name of the file containing the ASN.1 source code for the Host Resources
Subagent’s MIB.
Host Resources Subagent. The SNMP subagent that provides information for system,
storage, and device resources on the NonStop system where it is installed.
Host Resources Subagent’s MIB. The MIB used by the Host Resources Subagent. It
describes the mandatory groups of the Host Resources MIB defined in RFC 1514:
hrSystem, hrStorage, and hrDevice.
hrDevice group. The MIB-II group in the Host Resources Subagent’s MIB that describes
devices ranging from printers to tape drives.
hrStorage group. The MIB-II group in the Host Resources Subagent’s MIB that describes
storage media attached to the host. Storage media include physical memory, virtual
memory, fixed or removable disks, and so forth.
hrSWRun group. The optional MIB-II group in the Host Resources Subagent’s MIB that
describes the processes running on the system.
