tri-star topology

A network

topology

that uses up to three HP NonStop Cluster Switches for each external

fabric. External routing is implemented between the three star groups of a ServerNet
cluster. (A star group consists of the eight nodes attached to one set of cluster switches.)
The star groups are joined by two-lane links. The tri-star topology supports up to 24
nodes. See also

LAN

is from a

uncorrectable memory error (UCME)

An error caused by incorrect data at a particular memory location. The cause of the
incorrect data is one that is not automatically corrected by the system, and memory
replacement might be required. The occurrence of a UCME indicates that a processor is
having memory errors. The processor halts with a hardware error freeze and generates an

alarm

as well as an

incident report

.

uninterruptible power supply (UPS)

The equipment used to provide an uninterruptible source of power to connected
equipment if a main power outage occurs. The basic components of any UPS system are
a rectifier/charger that converts alternating-current (AC) power to direct-current (DC)
power, batteries that store the DC power, and an inverter that converts the DC power
back into AC power for distribution to the load..
