NonStop Kernel Subsystem
Numbers and Abbreviations
This appendix lists the NonStop Kernel subsystem numbers and abbreviations.
Table D-1
lists the subsystem numbers, abbreviations, and mnemonics assigned to
NonStop Kernel subsystems. The integer numbers themselves are provided for
debugging purposes. Under normal circumstances, you should refer to a subsystem
number by its symbolic name, which has the form ZSPI-SSN-
ssss.
Table D-2
on page D-12 lists the subsystem abbreviations that appear in NonStop
Kernel subsystem definition files. Data items from these files can appear in command
messages, response messages, and event messages. All NonStop Kernel subsystem
abbreviations start with
Z
. If you are writing an SPI server, start your definition names
with a letter other than
Z
to avoid name conflicts with software that HP provides for the
NonStop server.
For some subsystems and other system components, HP defines a mnemonic (short
name) of up to eight characters:
Displayed by the ViewPoint console application to identify the source of event
messages
Accepted and displayed by TACL in the subsystem-number portion of subsystem
IDs (for example, EXPAND in TANDEM.EXPAND.D40)
Used in the HELP command and error-message displays of the Subsystem Control
Facility (SCF)
Table D-1
and Table D-2 on page D-12 list the mnemonic for any subsystem or other
system component for which a mnemonic is defined. The mnemonics are case-
sensitive; all alphabetic characters must be uppercase. (TACL does not upshift them.)
