I
In-band System	A server management capability that is enabled only when the operating system is initialized
Management	and the server is functioning properly.
Integrated Lights	The iLO functionality offers remote server management through an independent management
Out (iLO)	processor (MP). iLO was introduced into most HP Integrity entry class servers in late 2004.
	Prior to that, embedded remote server management was referred to as MP functionality. All
	legacy MP functionality has been carried forward and combined with new features, all under
	the heading of "iLO". Therefore, "iLO" and "MP" mean the same thing for entry class servers.
IP	Internet Protocol. IP specifies the format of packets and the packet addressing scheme. Most
	networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP),
	which establishes a virtual connection between a destination and a source. TCP/IP establishes
	a connection between two hosts so that they can send messages back and forth for a period of
	time. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated
	by periods. Each number can be zero to 255; for example, 1.160.10.240. Within an isolated
	network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However,
	connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called
	Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates.
IP Address	An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network.
IPMI	Intelligent Platform Management Interface. A hardware-level interface specification designed
	primarily for the out-of-band management of server systems over a number of different physical
	interconnects. The IPMI specification describes extensive abstractions regarding sensors, enabling
	a management application running on the operating system (OS) or in a remote system to
	comprehend the environmental makeup of the system and to register with the system's IPMI
	subsystem to receive events. IPMI is compatible with management software from heterogeneous
	vendors. IPMI functionality includes inventory reporting, system monitoring, logging, system
	recovery (including local and remote system resets, and power on and power off capabilities),
	and alerting.
K
Kernel	The core of the operating system (OS) that manages the hardware and provides fundamental
	services that the hardware does not provide, such as filing and resource allocation.
KVM Switch	Keyboard, Video, Mouse. A hardware device that allows a user, or multiple users, to control
	multiple computers from a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse.
L
LDAP	Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. A directory service protocol used for the storage,
	retrieval, and distribution of information, including user profiles, distribution lists, and
	configuration data. LDAP runs over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
	across multiple platforms.
M
Managed Object	The actual item in the system environment that is accessed by the provider. For example, a
	Network Interface Card (NIC).
Management	The MIB defines the properties of the managed object within the device to be managed. Every
Information Base	managed device keeps a database of values for each definition written in the MIB. MIB is not
(MIB)	the actual database itself and is implementation dependant.
Management	The component that provides a LAN interface to the system console and system management.
Processor (MP)	Prior to iLO 2, embedded remote server management was referred to as MP functionality. All
	legacy MP functionality has been carried forward and combined with new features, all under
	the heading of "iLO 2". Therefore, "iLO 2" and "MP" mean the same thing for entry class servers.
MAP	Manageability Access Point. A network-accessible interface for managing a computer system.
	A MAP can be initiated by a management process, a management processor, a service processor,
	or a service process.
