initial discovery Discovery of a NonStop server with which the or the OSM Service Connection has had no prior
contact and for which it has no locally saved information.

internal ServerNet
X or Y fabric The fabrics that link ServerNet devices within an HP NonStop™ server.

internet protocol
(IP) A data communications protocol that handles the routing of data through a network, which
typically consists of many different
subnetworks . IP routes data between source and destination
IP addresses .
Inventory view One of several views of a server or supported Expand network available after system discovery
in the view pane of the
Management window . The Inventory view is a table that lists server or
cluster components according to type, location, part number, and other attributes.
See also Physical View .
IP address An internet protocol (IP) . An IP address consists of two parts: a network address, which identifies
the network, and a local address, which identifies a host within a network. The network address
uniquely identifies a host within a network.

layered topology The network topology for ServerNet clusters using the HP NonStop ServerNet Switch (model
6780). The layered topology can scale by adding cluster switch layers or zones. The layered
topology supports up to four layers and three zones.
See also star topology .
light-emitting
diode (LED) A semiconductor device that emits light from its surface. LEDs are used as indicator lights on
CRUs and FRUs in NonStop S-series servers.
line The specific hardware path over which data is transmitted or received. A line can also have a
process name associated with it that identifies an input/output process (IOP) or logical device
associated with that specific hardware path.
line interface unit
(LIU) A dual-ported unit consisting of two parts: a communications line interface processor (CLIP)
and a line interface module (LIM). An LIU can communicate with either the primary or the backup
processor, providing fault tolerance. When it is a component of the communications subsystem,
an LIU communicates with either processor through either of a pair of communications interface
units (CIUs).
link A communications path between two entities.
load To transfer the NonStop operating system image or a program from storage (typically disk) into
processor memory so that the operating system or program can run.
local area network
(LAN) A network that is located in a small geographical area and provides a high-bandwidth, low-cost
medium to which low-cost nodes can be connected. One or more LANs can be connected to
the system such that the LAN users can access the system as if their workstations were
connected directly to it.
