Migration and Configuration Guide.
P
PAL firmware The Processor Abstraction Layer is firmware that directly handles all aborts and initialization
and platform management interrupts.
part number A unique number assigned to a product. The part number can be used for ordering purposes.
path The route between a processor and a subsystem. If a subsystem is configured for fault tolerance,
it has both a primary path (from the primary processor) and a backup path (from the backup
processor).
peer service
processors (PSPs) A pair of service processors (X and Y) in a service processor (SP) domain.
See also master service processor (MSP) .
pending incident
report An incident report that has never been delivered to your service provider, either because delivery
to both the primary and the backup sites was unsuccessful or because the incident report was
generated at an
unattended site .
See also periodic incident report , problem incident report , and software configuration incident
report .
periodic incident
report A type of incident report that is generated periodically to test the connection to the service
provider and report the current system configuration. The default frequency is 14 days. Periodic
incident reports include the system configuration file as an attachment.
See also problem incident report , software configuration incident report , and pending incident
report .
peripheral device Any device used by processors to communicate with users or to acquire or store data. Peripheral
devices include terminals, workstations, printers, disk drives, and tape drives.
physical interface
(PIF) The hardware components that connect a system node to a network.
physical location A three-part identifier that specifies the group number, module number, and slot number of a
resource. For example: GRP-2.MOD-1.SLOT-8.
Physical view One of several views available in the view pane of the Management window . The Physical view
of a server is a view of all the enclosures and is intended to represent the actual floor plan at
the site. A Physical view of an enclosure is a visual representation of the physical location of
supported
resources inside the enclosure. A Physical view of an Expand network is a visual
representation of the connections and resources within a network such as a ServerNet cluster .
See also Inventory view .
plug-in card A replaceable component that provides a unique function when installed in a CRU or FRU. For
example, plug-in cards for IOMF2 CRUs provide a choice of connection media for attaching
ServerNet cables.
port A physical connector to which a cable can be attached. The system transmits and receives
data or requests through ports. A port is also called a connector.
port name A 64-bit unique identifier assigned to each Fibre Channel port. The port_name is communicated
during the login and port discovery processes.
power domain A set of customer-replaceable units (CRUs) and field-replaceable units (FRUs) that share a set
of power rails.
power interface
board (PIB) A board mounted on the bulkhead located behind the power supplies in NonStop S7x000 and
S7400 processor
enclosures . The PIB provides electrical connection between the power supplies
and DC power cables.
power monitor and
control unit
(PMCU) FRU A FRU (field-replaceable unit) that connects the batteries to the DC power distribution bus in
an enclosure and provides a means of disconnecting the batteries for powering off the system.
The PMCU also enables the service processor to diagnose the condition of the associated fan
and power supply and to regulate the voltage supplied to the fans. It also provides the interface
