event message
event message. Text intended for a system operator that describes a change in some
condition in the system or network, whether minor or serious. The change of condition
is called an event. Events can be operational errors, notifications of limits exceeded,
requests for actions needed, and so on.
Expand. The Expand subsystem enables you to link together as many as 255
geographically dispersed HP systems to create a network with the same reliability,
capacity to preserve data integrity, and potential expansion as a single HP system.
Fast Ethernet ServerNet adapter (FESA). A single-ported ServerNet adapter that supports
100-megabit/second (Mbps) or 10-Mbps Ethernet data transfer rates on a NonStop
S-series server. The 3863 FESA installs directly into an available I/O port.
FD passing. In OSS, refers to passing a copy of a file descriptor (FD) from one process to
another using OSS IPC.
FESA. See Fast Ethernet ServerNet adapter (FESA).
File Transfer Protocol (FTP). (1) The Internet-standard, high-level protocol for transferring
files from one machine to another. The server side requires the client to supply a logon
identifier and password before it honors requests. FTP makes no assumptions about
the file-naming structure of the source and destination systems, and it allows the file
names of each system to be represented in the vernacular. (2) The application used to
send complete files over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
services.
filter. In EMS, a file containing a list of criteria against which incoming event messages can
be compared. The messages are allowed to pass (all criteria met) or not pass (one or
more criteria failed). In the ServerNet LAN Systems Access (SLSA) subsystem (for
NonStop S-series systems), filters are logical entities which allow frames received from
the LAN to be sorted and delivered to a client. In the SLSA subsystem, filters replace
the PORT objects used in K-series systems in the sense that filters are the final
destination for data received from the LAN.
forking. In OSS
, refers to creating a cloned child process.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol). See File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
.
GESA. See Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet Adapter (GESA).
Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet Adapter (GESA). A single-port ServerNet adapter that
provides 1000 megabits/second (Mbps) data transfer rates between NonStop S-series
systems and Ethernet LANs. A GESA can be directly installed in slots 51 through 54 of
an I/O enclosure and slots 53 and 54 of a processor enclosure.
Two versions of the GESA are available:
•
3865 GESA-C (T523572): a single-port copper version compliant with the 1000
Base-T standard (802.3ab)
