addressable controller (SAC). The GESA and the SAC must be in the Stopped state before you
perform this action.
During startup, the controller operational code is automatically loaded into the SAC. When the Start
action completes, both the GESA and the SAC are in the Started state.
Stop
Rather than automatically stopping the GESA (as the Abort action does), this action first warns you
if the GESA is currently in use (and stops it only after you confirm).
G4SA
The M8800 Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA) provides Gigabit connectivity
between NonStop servers and Ethernet LANs. G4SAs are installed in slots 1 through 5 of an I/O
Adapter Module (IOAM).
Each G4SA contains one G4SA SAC, which contains up to four G4SA PIFs, resulting in four
Ethernet ports on each G4SA. For more information about the G4SA, including diagrams to identify
specific ports, see the Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port Adapter Installation and Support Guide.
Note: If a ServerNet switch board is not present, G4SAs will not appear in OSM.
