S
SCSI
See Small Computer System Interface.
Security Account Manager (SAM) database
A database used to authenticate users.
Server Message Block (SMB) protocol
A network protocol designed and implemented by Microsoft and used by Windows clients to
communicate file access requests to Windows servers. This has been replaced by CIFS.
Share
To make files, directories, or folders accessible to other users over a network.
Share Level Security
Share level security for Windows NT is the simplest security method available. Access to file
volumes or directories (shares) may be restricted on a share by share basis. The
administrator can set read only passwords and read/write passwords for each share on the
system. Users wishing to gain access to a share are asked to supply the correct password.
Only users with the correct password are given access to the share.
Share Name
A name selected by the system administrator as a way of identifying a share. Share names
are usually selected to be easy to remember.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The network management protocol for TCP/IP. In SNMP, agents, which can be hardware as
well as software, monitor the activity in the various devices on the network.
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
A SCSI interface is used to connect microcomputers to SCSI peripheral devices, such as
many hard disks and printers, and to other computers and local area networks.
SMB
See Server Message Block.
SMP
See Symmetric Multiprocessing.
Snapshot
A read-only copy of a file volume that contains an image of the volume as it appeared at the
point in time when the copy was taken.
SNMP
See Simple Network Management Protocol.
Subnet Mask
A 32-bit numeric mask that blocks out all but the necessary information. This allows the IP
address to be broken into a component that identifies the subnet on which the device resides
and the ID of the device itself.
Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP)
A computer architecture in which multiple processors share the same memory, which contains
one copy of the operating system, one copy of any applications that are in use, and one copy
of the data. Because the operating system divides the workload into tasks and assigns those
tasks to whatever processors are free, SMP can potentially service more transactions within a
fixed amount of time than a single processor system.
System log
A file containing statistical information and error messages.
System Hostname
The system name uniquely identifies your HP NAS VA. It is a text string up to 15 characters
drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), and minus sign (-). Note that periods are only
