Service Processor | An independent support processor for HP servers that support nPartitions. The Service Processor |
| provides a menu of |
| and configure various parameters. |
| The Service Processor in HP servers is sometimes called the Management Processor (MP) or |
| the Guardian Service Processor (GSP). |
Serviceguard | An HP Serviceguard cluster is a networked grouping of HP 9000 or HP Integrity servers (host |
cluster | systems known as nodes) having sufficient redundancy of software and hardware that a single |
| point of failure will not significantly disrupt service. |
Serviceguard | Packages are the means by which HP Serviceguard starts and halts configured applications. A |
package | package is a collection of services, disk volumes and IP addresses that are managed by |
| Serviceguard to ensure they are available. |
Serviceguard | A monitored workload associated with a Serviceguard cluster and a particular package within the |
workload | cluster. The workload (and the utilization data reported) follows the package it is associated |
| with as it moves between the nodes of the cluster. |
Storage Management Initiative Specification. | |
| interface technology in order to have “all storage managed by the SMI interface” as the unifying |
| factor between all objects that must be managed in a storage area network and the tools used |
| to manage them. |
socket | (CPU socket). The physical chip carrier on the circuit board that houses a CPU chip. The CPU |
| may consist of multiple cores. |
SRD | Shared resource domain. A collection of compartments that share system resources managed by |
| HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM). The compartments can |
| be nPartitions, virtual partitions, virtual machines, processor sets (PSETs) or |
| |
| A server containing nPartitions can be an SRD as long as nPartition requirements are met. These |
| requirements are detailed in the gWLM Getting the Most out of gWLM topic. |
| A server or an nPartition divided into virtual partitions can be an SRD for its virtual partition |
| compartments. A VM Host can be an SRD to its virtual machines. Similarly, a server, an |
| nPartition, or a virtual partition containing PSETs can be an SRD for its PSET compartments. |
| Finally, a server, an nPartition, or a virtual partition containing FSS groups can be an SRD for |
| its |
| A complex with nPartitions can hold multiple SRDs. For example, if the complex is divided |
| into nPartitions named Par1 and Par2, Par1's compartments could be virtual partitions, while |
| Par2's compartments are PSETs. |
SSL | Secure Sockets Layer. Protocol for validating identity and for creating an encrypted connection |
| between a server and a Web browser. |
system | 1. A server, nPartition, virtual partition, or virtual machine that is running an instance of an |
| operating system. |
| 2. Entities on the network that communicate through TCP/IP or IPX. To manage a system, |
| some type of management protocol (for example, SNMP, DMI or WBEM) must be present |
| on the system. Examples of systems include servers, workstations, desktops, portables, |
