| an operating system and running preboot applications. |
enclosure | The hardware and software infrastructure that houses HP BladeSystem servers. |
extensible | See EFI. |

F |
|
fairshare | An LSF |
| users. A fairshare policy defines the order in which LSF attempts to place jobs that are in a |
| queue or a host partition. |
FCFS | |
| according to their order in a queue, which is determined by job priority, not by order of |
| submission to the queue. |

G |
|
global storage | Storage within the HP 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 HP 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 HP XC system. The software for any and all nodes of an HP 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 HP XC system. There may be another node that can provide a |
| failover function for the head node, but HP XC system has only one head node at any one time. |
host name | The name given to a computer. Lowercase and uppercase letters |
| 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 |
|
I/O node | A node that has more storage available than the majority of server nodes in an HP XC system. |
| This storage is frequently externally connected storage, for example, SAN attached storage. |
| When configured properly, an I/O server node makes the additional storage available as global |
| storage within the HP XC system. |
iLO | Integrated Lights Out. A |
| cluster platform hardware models that enables remote management of any node within a |
| system. |
iLO2 | The next generation of iLO that provides full remote graphics console access and remote virtual |
| media. |
| See also iLO. |
