TSM package
information to be updated in the TSM client software. The TSM Notification Director
Application passes TSM notifications to the TSM client software where they are used
to update resource information.
TSM package. A software product for HP NonStop S-series servers that provides the
information needed to perform functions such as querying resources and testing,
provides notification of problems on the system, and allows local or remote access to
the system for service and maintenance. The TSM package performs the same role
as that of HP Tandem Maintenance and Diagnostic System (TMDS), Syshealth, and
Remote Maintenance Interface (RMI) on earlier systems.
TSM Service Application. A component of the TSM client software. The TSM Service
Application enables you to communicate with a HP NonStop S-series server when the
HP NonStop Kernel operating system is running. When the operating system is not
running, communication must take place using the TSM Low-Level Link Application.
See also TSM Low-Level Link Application.
CONFAUX file. The auxiliary configuration file created by the Distributed Systems
Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM) tools. The CONFAUX file
contains a list of the code files and system files that are needed to build the new HP
NonStop Kernel operating system. HP recommends that you avoid making any
changes to your CONFAUX file.
configuration. (1) The arrangement of enclosures, system components, and peripheral
devices into a working unit. (2) The definition or alteration of characteristics of an
object.
Configuration Utility Program (COUP). A utility used in D-series and earlier RVUs to
make online changes to the configuration of devices and controllers. COUP is part of
the Dynamic System Configuration (DSC) facility. In G-series RVUs, COUP functions
are performed by the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
CONFLIST file. The output file produced by SYSGENR. As SYSGENR processes the
CONFTEXT configuration file, it writes any action taken to the CONFLIST file, including
error and warning messages.
CONFTEXT file. The configuration file used as input to SYSGENR that contains a series of
entries defining your HP NonStop Kernel operating system attributes. A G-series
CONFTEXT file consists of one or two paragraphs: DEFINES (optional) and
ALLPROCESSORS.
COUP. See Configuration Utility Program (COUP).
CPU. See central processing unit (CPU).
DEFINE. A TACL command you can use to specify a named set of attributes and values to
pass to a process.
