Glossary

active logical

A logical server that has been bound to both an HP SIM managed system and a workload, and is

server

bound to specific storage. Active logical servers can be in one of two states: powered on or

 

powered off.

agent

A program that regularly gathers information or performs some other service without the user's

 

immediate presence. Insight Dynamics relies on agents on managed systems to provide in-depth

 

hardware and software information. Some systems can also be configured for agentless data

 

collection.

BladeSystem

HP BladeSystem is an infrastructure in a box that can support a combination of virtual machines,

 

storage blades, and server blades. It comprises server blade compute nodes, integrated connectivity

 

to data and storage networks, and shared power subsystems.

BladeSystem

Hardware solution for consolidating server blades and all supporting infrastructure elements

enclosure

(such as storage, network, and power) into a single unit.

BladeSystem

A component in HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) that provides streamlined management

Integrated

for the entire HP BladeSystem product family. It enables users to quickly navigate their HP

Manager

BladeSystem environments, including server blades, enclosure infrastructures, racks, and integrated

 

switches through automatically generated blade-rack picture views and hierarchical trees.

cell

A circuit board that contains processors and memory, all controlled by a cell controller (CC).

 

A cell is the basic building block of an nPartition in a complex.

cell-based server

A server in which all cores and memory are contained in cells, each of which can be assigned

 

for exclusive use by an nPartition. Each nPartition runs its own instance of an operating system.

CMS

Central management server. A system in the management domain that executes the HP SIM

 

software. All central operations within HP SIM are initiated from this system.

compartment

An nPartition, virtual partition, virtual machine, or resource partition whose resources are allocated

 

by HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM).

 

Multiple compartments are grouped to form a shared resource domain (SRD). The compartments

 

all share the resources of the SRD. A compartment can be in only one SRD. Each compartment

 

holds a workload. gWLM manages each workload's resource allocation by adjusting the resource

 

allocation of its compartment.

complex

A complex includes one or more cabinets that are cabled together and all of the hardware

 

resources that they contain. A complex has a single Service Processor.

core

The actual data-processing engine within a processor. A single processor might have multiple

 

cores, and a core might support multiple execution threads.

EVA

HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array. EVA provides designed-in virtualization to support

 

your most critical applications as well as your bulk storage needs.

FSS group

Fair-Share Scheduler group. A group of processes that has its CPU allocation managed by the

 

HP-UX FSS. FSS groups allow you to allocate fractions of cores, rather than only whole cores,

 

to the processes in the group.

GiCAP

HP Global Instant Capacity. Software that enables you to move usage rights for Instant Capacity

 

components within a group of servers.

iCAP

HP Instant Capacity. The HP Utility Pricing Solutions product that allows you to purchase and

 

install additional processing power through the use of a two-step purchase model. Initially,

 

you purchase system components (cores, cell boards, memory) at a fraction of the regular price

 

because the usage rights are not included. These Instant Capacity components are inactive but

 

installed and ready for use. When extra capacity is needed, you pay the remainder of the regular

 

price for the usage rights to activate the components. If the regular price for the component is

 

reduced by the time the usage rights are purchased, the remainder price is proportionally

 

reduced, providing additional savings.

 

Earlier versions of iCAP were referred to as Instant Capacity on Demand, or iCOD.

logical server

A feature provided by HP Insight Virtualization Manager software, a logical server is a set of

 

configuration and metadata that you create, activate, and assign to operate within a physical
