I
In-band System
Management A server management capability that is enabled only when the operating system is initialized
and the server is functioning properly.
Integrated Lights
Out (iLO) The iLO functionality offers remote server management through an independent management
processor (MP). iLO was introduced into most HP Integrity entry class servers in late 2004.
Prior to that, embedded remote server management was referred to as MP functionality. All
legacy MP functionality has been carried forward and combined with new features, all under
the heading of "iLO". Therefore, "iLO" and "MP" mean the same thing for entry class servers.
IP Internet Protocol. IP specifies the format of packets and the packet addressing scheme. Most
networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP),
which establishes a virtual connection between a destination and a source. TCP/IP establishes
a connection between two hosts so that they can send messages back and forth for a period of
time. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated
by periods. Each number can be zero to 255; for example, 1.160.10.240. Within an isolated
network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However,
connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called
Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates.
IP Address An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network.
IPMI Intelligent Platform Management Interface. A hardware-level interface specification designed
primarily for the out-of-band management of server systems over a number of different physical
interconnects. The IPMI specification describes extensive abstractions regarding sensors, enabling
a management application running on the operating system (OS) or in a remote system to
comprehend the environmental makeup of the system and to register with the system's IPMI
subsystem to receive events. IPMI is compatible with management software from heterogeneous
vendors. IPMI functionality includes inventory reporting, system monitoring, logging, system
recovery (including local and remote system resets, and power on and power off capabilities),
and alerting.
K
Kernel The core of the operating system (OS) that manages the hardware and provides fundamental
services that the hardware does not provide, such as filing and resource allocation.
KVM Switch Keyboard, Video, Mouse. A hardware device that allows a user, or multiple users, to control
multiple computers from a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse.
L
LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. A directory service protocol used for the storage,
retrieval, and distribution of information, including user profiles, distribution lists, and
configuration data. LDAP runs over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
across multiple platforms.
M
Managed Object The actual item in the system environment that is accessed by the provider. For example, a
Network Interface Card (NIC).
Management
Information Base
(MIB) The MIB defines the properties of the managed object within the device to be managed. Every
managed device keeps a database of values for each definition written in the MIB. MIB is not
the actual database itself and is implementation dependant.
Management
Processor (MP) The component that provides a LAN interface to the system console and system management.
Prior to iLO 2, embedded remote server management was referred to as MP functionality. All
legacy MP functionality has been carried forward and combined with new features, all under
the heading of "iLO 2". Therefore, "iLO 2" and "MP" mean the same thing for entry class servers.
MAP Manageability Access Point. A network-accessible interface for managing a computer system.
A MAP can be initiated by a management process, a management processor, a service processor,
or a service process.
