HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Overview HP-UX 11i v3 (B3921-90011, September 2010)

reject
One of four commands that control the flow of print requests through the Line Printer Spooling
System (spooler). reject instructs the spooler to prevent print requests from being added to
a print queue.
See also accept, enable, disable.
remote printer A printer connected directly to a remote instance of HP-UX (“system”). Print requests to a
remote printer must first travel over a network to the remote system. The Line Printer Spooling
System on the remote system subsequently handles the printing of the requests as though they
were local requests.
Note: The remote instance of HP-UX could be on the same physical server, in an alternate
nPartition for example.
remote spooling Spooling to printers that are defined in the Line Printer Spooling System (spooler) of a different
server or HP-UX instance. The local spooler accepts print requests and submits them to the
remote spooler on your behalf. The remote spooler then handles the printing of the requests.
resource path On Superdome 2 systems: A special, operating system agnostic, form of addressing; used by
the Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator (OA) to reference system components. See the
resourcepath(5) manpage for complete information.
Role-Based
Access Control
Role-Based Access Control. An HP-UX mechanism to provide fine-grained access to system
resources, commands, and system calls. Users are assigned to roles and users are granted access
privileges according to roles.
root directory The top most directory in the HP-UX directory tree. The root directory is represented by the
path “/”.
root file system The file system containing the root directory. It is the first file system mounted during the boot
sequence and contains the mount points to which other file systems are mounted.
See also mount points.
root volume
group
The LVM volume group that contains the root file system and primary swap volume.
See also root file system and primary swap.
run-level A configuration of system processes. Processes spawned by boot init is assigned to one or more
run-levels. Only processes having an assignment corresponding to the current system run-level
are processed.
SAM (System
Administration
Manager)
The primary single system administration tool prior to HP-UX 11i version 3. SAM is supported
only the HP-UX operating system.
See also HP SMH (HP System Management Homepage).
secondary swap HP-UX begins by paging on a single device only (see primary swap). That way only one device
is needed at boot time. Additional swap areas, known as secondary swap areas, can be
subsequently enabled in order to provide larger amounts of space for paging operations.
selective dump A memory dump containing only selected portions of memory. Selective dumps use less disk
space and complete faster than full memory dumps.
server Formerly referred to as a system or a computer. The physical cabinet containing cell boards,
processors, memory, and power supplies.
Service Level
Objectives
Generally a specific, measurable item/objective within a broader, more comprehensive
service-level agreement (SLA) contract.
Serviceguard HP’s product for implementing high availability clusters, alone or together with other products
to form disaster tolerant networks.
See also continental clusters, extended distance clusters, high availability clusters and
metropolitan clusters.
software depot An SD-UX format structure that contains one or more software products that can be installed
on other systems or copied to other depots.
software
partitioning
See Virtual Partitions and virtual machine.
software
threading
A parallel computing technique used by applications and operating systems to enhance
processing efficiency.
spooler See line printer spooling system.
