D
daemon	A process that runs in the background and is usually immune to termination instructions.
default-installed	For HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2, software bundles that are installed as default with HP-UX. These
	bundles can be deselected before installation.
depot	A repository of software products, organized so Software Distributor (SD-UX) commands can
	use it as a software source.
device identifier	A user friendly, readable string, such as “LAB2CAB23LUN15”, that is stored on a device. It
	remains viewable even if the device is moved physically. See scsimgr(1M).
DHCP	Stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and is a way of dynamically allocating IP
	addresses and other network topology information to clients for a specified lease time.
directed boot	A boot request that is directed to a particular Ignite-UX server or boot helper system. A directed
	boot allows boot and installation from an Ignite-UX server on a different subnet without requiring
	a boot helper.
disk group	The VxVM equivalent of an LVM volume group.
disk layout	The way hard disks are formatted and information stored on them. There are two general
	methods of disk layout: physical-storage layout and logical-storage layout. VxVM and LVM
	use logical-storage layout, and use various layout techniques such as mirroring and striping.
disk layout	The version of the VxFS private data that is used for its file system layout. This term can be
version	abbreviated to DLVx, where x is the disk layout version number. See mkfs_vxfs(1M).
DNS	Stands for Domain Name Service, and provides mapping between hostnames and IP addresses.
DSF	Stands for Device Special File. A file associated with an I/O device. DSFs are read and written
	to as ordinary files are, resulting in activation of the associated device.
DUMP	A use designation typically for an LVM logical volume or a VxVM volume for system crash dump
	storage. See crashconf(1M).
DVD boot image	A boot image formatted for a DVD.
E
EFI	See Extensible Firmware Interface.
El Torito	An extension to ISO9660 for creating bootable optical media.
essential	The list of files and directories in /opt/ignite/recovery/mnr_essentials describing
	the default minimum contents of a recovery archive.

expert recoveryextensible firmware interface (EFI)

An Ignite-UXmode of operation allowing expert users to repair a system with software damage without reinstalling HP-UX.

The Intel® developed firmware environment on Itanium-based systems that acts as an interface between operating systems and platform firmware. The interface consists of platform related information, as well as boot and runtime service calls. The PA-RISC equivalent is the boot console handler.

F
file system	A collection of files and supporting data structures residing directly on a mass storage device
	or on a virtual or logical disk. There are various file system implementations, such as HFS and
	VxFS.
fileset	For SD-UX, a collection of files within a product. The product may be part of a bundle. See sd(5).
G
gateway	The IP address of a system that routes forwarded traffic to a non-local network. A gateway IP
	address is usually associated with a router.
golden archive	An archive with files set to the newconfig state. See archive.
golden image	A combination of a golden archive, and a configuration file describing a system’s disk layout and
	file system. Use as a common configuration to install systems.
