|
G |
|
global storage | Storage within the HP XC system that is available to all of the nodes in the system. Also known |
| as local storage. |
golden client | The node from which a standard file system image is created. The golden image is distributed |
| by the image server. In a standard HP XC installation, the head node acts as the image server |
| and golden client. |
golden image | A collection of files, created from the golden client file system that are distributed to one or more |
| client systems. Specific files on the golden client may be excluded from the golden image if they |
| are not appropriate for replication. |
golden master | The collection of directories and files that represents all of the software and configuration data |
| of an HP XC system. The software for any and all nodes of an HP XC system can be produced |
| solely by the use of this collection of directories and files. |
H |
|
head node | The single node that is the basis for software installation, system configuration, and administrative |
| functions in an HP XC system. There may be another node that can provide a failover function |
| for the head node, but HP XC system has only one head node at any one time. |
host name | The name given to a computer. Lowercase and uppercase letters |
| periods, and dashes are permitted in host names. Valid host names contain from 2 to 63 |
| characters, with the first character being a letter. |
I |
|
I/O node | A node that has more storage available than the majority of server nodes in an HP XC system. |
| This storage is frequently externally connected storage, for example, SAN attached storage. |
| When configured properly, an I/O server node makes the additional storage available as global |
| storage within the HP XC system. |
iLO | Integrated Lights Out. A |
| hardware models that enables remote management of any node within a system. |
image server | A node specifically designated to hold images that will be distributed to one or more client |
| systems. In a standard HP XC installation, the head node acts as the image server and golden |
| client. |
Integrated Lights | See iLO. |
Out |
|
interconnect | A hardware component that provides |
| system. It is used for message passing and remote memory access capabilities for parallel |
| applications. |
interconnect | The private network within the HP XC system that is used primarily for user file access and for |
network | communications within applications. |
Internet address | A unique |
| address is commonly represented as a network number and a host number and takes a form |
| similar to the following: 192.0.2.0. |
IPMI | Intelligent Platform Management Interface. A |
| HP ProLiant DL145 servers that enables remote management of any node within a system. |
