HP Integrity iLO 2 MP 5991-6005 manual To the client, Glossary

	The CLP consists of a set of command verbs that manipulate command targets representing
	Managed Elements (ME) that are within the scope of access by a MAP. Each CLP interaction
	consists of a command line transmitted to the CLP service and a subsequent response transmitted
	back to the client. Each command transmitted generates only one response data transmission
	to the client.
	The CLP allows for extensibility through different mechanisms: verbs, targets, target properties,
	and option names, and option arguments. The conventions allow for implementers to extend
	the interface in a non-conflicting mechanism that allows for differentiation and experimentation
	without encroaching upon the standard CLP syntax and semantics.
Common	An industry standard that was developed by the DMTF. CIM describes data about applications
Information	and devices so that administrators and software management programs can control applications
Model (CIM)	and devices on different platforms in the same way, ensuring interoperability across a network.
	CIM provides a common definition of management information for systems, components,
	networks, applications, and services, and it allows for vendor extensions. CIM common
	definitions enable vendors to exchange management information between systems.
	Using techniques of object-oriented programming, CIM provides a consistent definition and
	structure of data, including expressions for elements such as object classes, properties,
	associations, and methods.
	For example, if an enterprise purchases four different servers from four different vendors and
	networks them together, using CIM, the administrator can view the same information about
	each of the devices, such as manufacturer and serial number, the device’s model number, its
	location on the network, its storage capacity, and its relationship to the applications that run
	throughout the network.
Console	The interface between the iLO 2 MP and the server that controls basic functionality. Also known
	as host console.
D
DDNS	Dynamic Domain Name System. DDNS is how the iLO 2 MP automatically registers its name
	with the Domain Name System so that when iLO 2 receives its new IP address from DHCP,
	users can connect to the new iLO 2 using the host name, rather than the new IP address.
DHCP	Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol that enables a DHCP server to assign Internet
	Protocol (IP) addresses dynamically to systems on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
	Protocol (TCP/IP) network. Without DHCP, IP addresses must be entered manually at each
	computer, and when computers are moved to another location on another part of the network,
	a new IP address must be entered.
Directory Server	In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a server which stores and provides
	information about people and resources within an organization from a logically centralized
	location.
Distinguished	In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a unique text string that identifies an
Name (DN)	entry's name and location within the directory. A DN can be a fully qualified domain name
	(FQDN) that includes the complete path from the root of the tree.
DMTF	Distributed Management Task Force. The industry organization that authors and promotes
	management standards and integration technology for enterprise and Internet environments
	to further the ability to remotely manage computer systems.
DNS	Domain Name Server. The server that typically manages host names in a domain. DNS servers
	translate host names, such as www.example.com, into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, such
	as 030.120.000.168.
	Domain Name Service. The data query service that searches domains until a specified host
	name is found.
	Domain Name System. A distributed, name resolution system that enables computers to locate
	other computers on a network or the Internet by domain name. The system associates standard
	Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, such as 00.120.000.168, with host names, such as www.hp.com.
	Machines typically acquire this information from a DNS server.
