MIB

Acronym for management information base.

MIF

Acronym for management information format. MIF is a file that contains informa- tion, status, and links to component instrumentation. MIF files are installed into the MIF database by the service layer. The content of a MIF is defined by a DMTF working committee and is published in the form of a MIF definition document. This document identifies the groups and attributes that are relevant to DMI- manageable components.

PLUURULQJ

A type of data redundancy that uses a set of physical drives to store data and one or more sets of additional drives to store du- plicate copies of the data. Mirroring is the preferred data redundancy technique in lower-capacity systems and in systems where performance is extremely impor- tant. See also guarding, RAID 1, and RAID 10.

NIC

Abbreviation for network interface controller.

NLM

Abbreviation for NetWare Loadable Module.

NNM SE

Abbreviation for Network Node Manager Special Edition.

NTSF

Abbreviation for the NT File System op- tion in the Windows NT operating system.

out-of-band

Communications that use a remote assis- tance card to remotely manage a server using a modem or an on-board NIC on the card. The out-of-band path is used for

remote management of a server or for ac- cessing server information when the server or network is down.

parameter

A value or option that you specify to a pro- gram. A parameter is sometimes called a switch or an argument.

PCI

Abbreviation for Peripheral Component Interconnect.

peripheral device

An internal or external device—such as a printer, a disk drive, or a keyboard—con- nected to a computer.

POST

Acronym for power-on self-test. Before the operating system loads when you turn on your computer, the POST tests various system components such as RAM, the disk drives, and the keyboard.

PSPB

Abbreviation for power-supply paralleling board.

RAID

Acronym for redundant array of indepen- dent disks. This phrase was introduced by David Patterson, Garth Gibson, and Randy Katz at the University of California at Ber- keley in 1987. The goal of RAID is to use multiple small, inexpensive disk drives to provide high storage capacity and perfor- mance while maintaining or improving the reliability of the disk subsystem.

Patterson, Gibson, and Katz described five different methods, which are known as RAID levels 1 through 5. Each level uses one or more extra drives to provide a means of recovering data lost when a disk fails, so that the effective failure rate of the whole disk subsystem becomes very low.

Recently, Katz has defined a sixth meth- od, RAID 6, which improves reliability even further, and a configuration that pro- vides no data recovery has popularly become known as RAID 0.
