TiCAP

Temporary Instant Capacity. Supported on cell-based Integrity servers, an HP product option

 

included with Instant Capacity (iCAP) that enables you to purchase prepaid processor activation

 

rights for a specified (temporary) period of time. Temporary capacity is available in licenses of

 

30 core-days (or 720 core-hours), which can be spread across all Instant Capacity cores as

 

required. The minimum activation time for any core is 30 minutes. TiCAP was formerly referred

 

to as TiCOD.

 

See also iCAP, PPU.

UETP

User Environment Test Package. A software package that tests all the standard peripheral

 

devices on your system, various commands and operating system functions, the system's

 

multiple-user capability, DECnet software, and the cluster environment.

VC

Virtual Connect. A set of interconnect modules and embedded software for HP BladeSystem

 

c-Class enclosures; it simplifies the setup and administration of server connections. Where most

 

server interconnect choices come with compromises such as too many cables or too much to

 

manage, VC reduces the number of network cables and simplifies management while adding

 

the unique ability to wire everything once, then add, replace or recover servers in minutes

 

instead of hours or days. HP Virtual Connect includes the HP 1/10Gb Virtual Connect Ethernet

 

Module and HP 4 Gb Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladesSystem, and

 

the HP Virtual Connect Manager.

virtual media

virtual partition

A soft partition within a cell-based server that can provide software isolation among different

 

instances of the operating system running on a single server or nPartition. Cell-based servers

 

can be configured either as a single large symmetric multiprocessor or as several independent

 

systems. A virtual partition uses a subset of the system processor, memory, and I/O resources,

 

and includes operating system and application-related software. The HP-UX operating system

 

is the only operating system that can run in a virtual partition.

 

See also cell, partition, nPartition, server complex.

Virtual Server

See VSE.

Environment

 

vMedia

Virtual Media. A virtual-disk capability included with iLO MP 2 on Integrity servers. vMedia

 

provides virtual devices that mimic physical hardware devices. For example, it can provide a

 

virtual CD/DVD drive that connects over the network to your Integrity server as if it were

 

physically connected. You can use vMedia to install OpenVMS on Integrity servers that do not

 

include a built-in DVD drive. vMedia can provide the network service for HP SIM provisioning,

 

or it can be used independently of HP SIM.

 

See also HP SIM, provisioning.

volume

The software that performs disk mirroring operations using a redundant array of independent

shadowing

disks (RAID) 1 storage strategy. Provides high data availability for disk devices by ensuring

 

against data loss that results from media deterioration or controller or device failure. This

 

prevents storage subsystem component failures from interrupting system or application tasks.

 

Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS is available as both a separately licensed product on Integrity

 

server systems and a component of the Enterprise Operating Environment (EOE) on Integrity

 

servers.

VSE

HP Virtual Server Environment. An integrated virtualization offering for HP-UX servers

 

(including Integrity servers). VSE provides a flexible computing environment that maximizes

 

utilization of server resources. VSE consists of a pool of dynamically sizable virtual servers,

 

each of which can grow and shrink based on service-level objectives and business priorities.

 

See also gWLM, iCAP, PPU, TiCAP.

warranted

In OpenVMS Clusters, warranted support means that HP has fully qualified the specified

support

versions of OpenVMS coexisting in the cluster and addresses all problems identified by

 

customers using the cluster configuration.

 

See also migration support.
