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 |
| 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 |
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. |
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 |
| cores, and a core might support multiple execution threads. |
EVA | HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array. EVA provides |
| your most critical applications as well as your bulk storage needs. |
FSS group | |
| |
| 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 |
| 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 |
