LSF master host

The overall LSF coordinator for the system. The master load information manager (LIM) and master batch daemon (mbatchd) run on the LSF master host. Each system has one master host to do all job scheduling and dispatch. If the master host goes down, another LSF server in the system becomes the master host.

LVS

Linux Virtual Server. Provides a centralized login capability for system users. LVS handles incoming login requests and directs them to a node with a login role.

M

Management Processor

See MP

master host

See LSF master host

module

A package that provides for the dynamic modification of a user’s environment by means of modulefiles.

See also modulefile

modulefile

Contains information that alters or sets shell environment variables, such as PATH and MANPATH. Modulefiles enable various functions to start and operate properly.

MP

Management Processor. Controls the system console, reset, and power management functions on HP Integrity rx2600 servers.

MPI

Message Passing Interface. A library specification for message passing, proposed as a standard by a broadly based committee of vendors, implementors, and users.

MySQL

A relational database system developed by MySQL AB that is used in XC systems to store and track system configuration information.

N

NAT

Network Address Translation. A mechanism that provides a mapping (or transformation) of addresses from one network to another. This allows external access of a machine on one LAN that has the same IP address as a machine on another LAN, by mapping the LAN address of the two machines to different external IP addresses.

Network Address Translation

See NAT

Network Information Services

See NIS

NIS

Network Information Services. A mechanism that allows centralization of common data that is pertinent across multiple machines in a network. The data is collected in a domain, within which it is accessible and relevant. The most common use of NIS is to maintain user account information across a set of networked hosts.
