JXDUGLQJ

A type of data redundancy that uses a set of physical drives to store data and a single, additional drive to store parity data. Using guarding, the user’s data is protected from the loss of a single drive. Guarding is sometimes preferred over mirroring because it is more cost effective in systems with a very high storage capac- ity. However, guarded configurations are significantly slower for applications that frequently write to the array, because each attempt to write to the array requires multiple read and write commands to maintain the parity information. If this is a problem, mirroring or duplexing is a better choice. See also mirroring, RAID 4, and RAID 5.

GUI

Acronym for graphical user interface.

HIP

Acronym for the Dell Hardware Instru- mentation Package. HIP provides seamless integration with the Intel LANDesk Server Manager. Together, HIP and LANDesk Server Manager allow you to monitor your Dell servers and track status information about Dell server components.

host adapter

Ahost adapter implements communica- tion between the computer’s bus and the controller for a peripheral. (Hard-disk drive

controller subsystems include integrated host adapter circuitry.) To add a SCSI ex- pansion bus to your system, you must install the appropriate host adapter.

,,6

Acronym for Internet Information Service.

I/O

Abbreviation for input/output. The key- board and a printer, for example, are I/O devices. In general, I/O activity can be dif- ferentiated from computational activity. For example, when a program sends a document to the printer, it is engaging in I/O activity; when the program sorts a list of terms, it is engaging in computational activity.

in-band

Communication across the network between the console and server.

IP

Abbreviation for Internet Protocol.
