Nomadic Disk Software
Nomadic Disk Manager
The Nomadic Disk Manager is an independent product that provides an HP Tandem
Advanced Command Language (TACL) environment designed to reduce the
complexity of managing a ServerNet Nomadic Disk environment. Nomadic Disk
Manager requires the following software:
•
ServerNet Nomadic Disk switch command interface (SWCI), used to communicate
with the ServerNet Nomadic Disk switch modules.
•
The DefineProcess product, a component of ViewPoint (ViewPoint itself is not
required). The DefineProcess directory, :UTILS:DP, must be in the #USELIST of
the TACL process.
Switch Command Interface (SWCI)
You can use the ServerNet Nomadic Disk switch command interface (SWCI) utility to
communicate with and control a switch module from a server.
