image server | A node specifically designated to hold images that will be distributed to one or more client |
| systems. In a standard HP XC installation, the head node acts as the image server and golden |
| client. |
improved | A service availability infrastructure that is built into the HP XC system software to enable an |
availability | availability tool to fail over a subset of eligible services to nodes that have been designated as |
| a second server of the service |
| See also availability set, availability tool. |
Integrated Lights | See iLO. |

|
interconnect | A hardware component that provides |
| XC system. It is used for message passing and remote memory access capabilities for parallel |
| applications. |
interconnect | A module in an HP BladeSystem server. The interconnect module provides the Physical I/O |
module | ports for the server blades and can be either a switch, with connections to each of the server |
| blades and some number of external ports, it can be or a |
| external ports for each of the server blades. |
| See also server blade. |
interconnect | The private network within the HP XC system that is used primarily for user file access and |
network | for communications within applications. |
Internet address | A unique |
| address is commonly represented as a network number and a host number and takes a form |
| similar to the following: 192.0.2.0. |
IPMI | Intelligent Platform Management Interface. A |
| on HP ProLiant DL145 servers that enables remote management of any node within a system. |
ITRC | HP IT Resource Center. The HP corporate Web page where software patches are made available. |
| The web address is http://www.itrc.hp.com. To download patches from this Web page, you |
| must register as an Americas/Asia Pacific or European customer. |

Linux Virtual | See LVS. |
Server |
|
load file | A file containing the names of multiple executables that are to be launched simultaneously by |
| a single command. |
Load Sharing | See LSF with SLURM. |
Facility |
|
local storage | Storage that is available or accessible from one node in the HP XC system. |
LSF execution | The node on which LSF runs. A user's job is submitted to the LSF execution host. Jobs are |
host | launched from the LSF execution host and are executed on one or more compute nodes. |
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. |
LSF with SLURM | Load Sharing Facility integrated with SLURM. The batch system resource manager on an HP |
| XC system that is integrated with SLURM. LSF with SLURM places a job in a queue and allows |
| it to run when the necessary resources become available. LSF with SLURM manages just one |
| resource: the total number of processors designated for batch processing. |
| LSF with SLURM can also run interactive batch jobs and interactive jobs. An LSF interactive |
| batch job allows you to interact with the application while still taking advantage of LSF with |
| SLURM scheduling policies and features. An LSF with SLURM interactive job is run without |
| using LSF with SLURM batch processing features but is dispatched immediately by LSF with |
| SLURM on the LSF execution host. |
| See also LSF execution host. |
