extensible firmware interface

See EFI

external network node

A node that is connected to a network external to the XC system.

F

fairshare

An LSF job-scheduling policy that specifies how resources should be shared by competing users. A fairshare policy defines the order in which LSF attempts to place jobs that are in a queue or a host partition.

FCFS

First come first served. An LSF job-scheduling policy that specifies that jobs are dispatched according to their order in a queue, which is determined by job priority, not by order of submission to the queue.

first come first served

See FCFS

G

global storage

Storage within the XC system that is available to all of the nodes in the system. Also known as local storage.

golden client

The node from which a standard file system image is created. The golden image is distributed by the image server. In a standard XC installation, the head node acts as the image server and golden client.

golden image

A collection of files, created from the golden client file system that are distributed to one or more client systems. Specific files on the golden client may be excluded from the golden image if they are not appropriate for replication.

golden master

The collection of directories and files that represents all of the software and configuration data of an XC system. The software for any and all nodes of an XC system can be produced solely by the use of this collection of directories and files.

H

head node

The single node that is the basis for software installation, system configuration, and administrative functions in an XC system. There may be another node that can provide a failover function for the head node, but there is only one head node for the XC system at any one time.

host name

The name given to a computer. Lowercase and uppercase letters (a–z and A–Z), numbers (0–9), periods, and dashes are permitted in host names. Valid host names contain from 2 to 63 characters, with the first character being a letter.

I

iLO

Integrated Lights Out. A self-contained hardware technology available on XC3000 systems that allows remote management of any node within a system.
