Each Console Manager task has the following flow of execution when a GUI task is executed, such as connecting to a node or getting a console port:
GUI task ---> privcmd CLI ---> VACM (nexxus) ---> VACM plugins ---> EL-16 driver (if present)
Key:
privcmd = privileged command
CLI = command line interface
VACM = cluster manager software
nexxus = Console Manager backend software (Console Manager daemon)
VACM plugins = SGI software plugins to support various SGI servers.
