For D-series and G-series RVUs, SPI is part of the Distributed Systems Management
(DSM) architecture. For more information, see the Distributed Systems Management
(DSM) Manual .
If the subsystems you are managing expect requests to be routed through an SCP
process, read the Subsystem Control Point (SCP) Management Programming Manual .
Many NonStop Kernel subsystems that use SPI also implement the SPI extensions
described in the SPI Common Extensions Manual .
For any specific subsystems you are working with, you can also see the management
programming manual.
Information about the language used to define tokens and related data elements is in
the Data Definition Language (DDL) Reference Manual .
